Meh, you know all ill feelings toward the series aside, I never thought the series would fall into "exclusive" pre order bonus shit, that was obviously ripped from the game itself so in reality you get nothing, only deducted when you don't pre order.
A blade flexible enough to be a bow when split in half but rigid enough to be usable as a sword... probably forged with a materia!
It's disgusting how they try to add all this crap to make you preorder. Well after seeing FFXIII I think I'll wait till this is 10 dollars before I buy it.
Man,what happened to good ole days when all you had to do to get the Genji equipment was steal it from Gilgamesh and Enkidu?
I guess when you successfully steal it from them,they charge your debit card.

I do not like this. I hate when pre-order stuff effects functionality of the game. Either the weapon is over powered for the beginning of the game or it becomes worthless after you find your 2nd weapon. Its pointless. It disrupts the flow of the game.
I really don't think Squeenix has a good enough reputation right now to be attempting something like this.
So not only is it a pre order bonus, which I generally think is unwarranted (Why can't they give every new copy a slip for the content... Or just put it on the disk), but it's retailer exclusive, which is terrible because it punishes people fire using a different outlet that they may prefer, and on to of it all, there's a Subscriber-Only retail exclusive pre order requirement? I hate g the games industry and what publishers and certain retailers come up with.
Really, Square? ...Really? Oh, how the mighty hath fallen...
I can deal with pre-orders bonuses to an extent, costumes? Sure, no problemo. Early access to something? I honestly couldn't care less. Material things like maps or figurines? Cool, if I'm a fan and it looks worthwhile, I'll probably drop the cash for it. "Exclusive" DLC like in-game weapons, maps, and other stuff that was originally in the full game to begin with, but taken out for the sole purpose of punishing those who choose not to pre-order? We're now at the point where there's a big chance of me not supporting you with my purchase. Needless to say, I don't buy many games new nowadays, but I definitely didn't expect something like this from Square of all people, I mean, I know you've really lost touch with your fans lately but this is definitely not the way to get them back.
And thus the used game market further cements it's position as a vital alternative for those of us who choose to be responsible consumers.

It's definitely no gunblade... Could be worse though..It could be a CG cutscene ala Uwe Bol of some third rate Steven Baldwin look-a-like in a bandanna and a trench coat riding a fugly-ass motorcycle (which could be thinly veiled metaphor for two lesbians scissoring) up and down Iceman's snail-trail. God, that game sucked. Thinking back on it just makes me feel angry and bitter.
Seriously, if I wanted this game that would be an incentive for me to NOT pre-order. What an ugly item. Okay, I'm done, I promise.
Fuck
I use to always point to FF as an example why these pre-order DLCs are bull. Back then if you wanted a bad ass weapon you had to be crazy enough to earn it by finding secret levels and taking on high level secret bosses.
Anyone remember the crazy bum fuck run in FFXII you had to make through the mines to get Deathbringer? Those days of badassdome are gone my friends...

Gamestop AND Square Enix teaming up? The perfect DP of getting ripped off. Only thing left is an online pass and it's a full fledged gangbang.
Usually I try to be civil and write well worded responses in comment sections...
But this is fucking stupid.
I feel pre-order bonuses are fucking stupid in stuff like shooters or action games, but in an RPG? That's just like a whole new level of fucking stupid. Like really fucking stupid. Did I mention the fucking stupid?

"Transformers" weapons are almost as dumb of an idea as location-based preorder bonuses.
Could you imagine how fragile such a weapon would be? Square has gone double-retard on this.

I'm more curious on whether this is simply a timed-exclusive (as is most Gamestop preorder bonuses) or a TRUE exclusive (like the free chocobo avatars Squenix themselves gave out before FFXIII). After what I felt was the major disappointment of this game's predecessor I'm less-than-excited about the next chapter, even though I do consider myself a fan of the franchise. A simple timed-exclusive would not entice me in the least to pay $60 for this game.
Still getting it from Am(AZING)azon.
Seriously, have you seen their blu-ray sales this week? It's ridonkulous.

More codes to be entered for a single player game. The more stuff like this I see the more I know I will NEVER preorder a game again. The really thing people will believe they specifically made this item for a bonus? No, they ripped an item from the game and want you to believe they didn't. Have a bonus be an actual bonus if you want people to bite. Until then, get bent.
I dunno, its a thing but I don't seeing affect how the game plays or how I play it. Now if they offered up an exclusive summon I'd raise my eyebrow. Cause summons are awesome. Remember those long cutscene summons from the earlier games? I loved those. Except when you couldn't skip them. Cause the 40th time you see Knights of the Round gets a wee bit old. Hey guess who hasn't had coffee yet?
"I don't exactly see how you lose in this situation at all. Unless all you really wanted to do was bitch and complain to begin with."
Oh, the delicious hypocrisy that spews forth from your very being shall sustain me for years to come my friend.

If I'm going to care at all, I care much more for Amazon's extra boss fight/summon.. Thing. Somehow that adds much more to the game for all of us then a sword/bow and a costume.
Keep fishing, Gamestop.
