Rock on, Diablo Fans! I just placed an order for the Legendary Edition, which will only have a single limited production run. FYI, I'm pretty hyped about this.
Have you ever heard of "Distant Worlds"? It is a orchestral tour of Final Fantasy music. The composer of the game music, Nobuo Uematsu, usually visits the concerts from Japan. I saw it in Chicago earlier this year and it was excellent. They have a cd they sell at shows and on their website. You would probably enjoy it!

This forum caught my attention as well and I was curious if, when ordering the Legendary Ed., is having your order in processing status for almost 2 weeks normal? I don't want to turn this thread into a customer service forum but the initial e-mail I sent to you guys 5 days ago hasn't been responded too. The Blizzard music is awesome and from what I've heard you guys nailed it. Thanks so much.
Diablo Frog,
You keep asking for people to post pics of the Standard Edition, but if I remember correctly, it won't be released until November 22 (that's next Saturday...)
Patience, young Padiwan...
You're very welcome =D

Hi Diablo Frog,
Yes I know it very well! Nobuo was the guest of honor at our first concert as Eminence back in 2004.

Hey Oozaru,
Sorry about that! You can try emailing our Logistics Manager Yuya Fukuwa

He should be able to quickly answer any questions that may arise!

Hi DesmondTiny,
The LE is already out and the SE is about to be launched this weekend.
It wont be available in stores unless you are from Australia. We are working for it to be available in stores in the US and EU.

Hey deathMars,
Don't quote me on it but the sequels of Echoes of War will be concentrated on individual IPs... hint hint...

Hi wilimye,
I'm so sorry >.<
The Q is very long and our staff is absolutely flat out! We've even hired part timers to cover the logistics!!!

whats this to do with?
if so then do the following:
- User CP at the top
- then on the side, edit options

- then carbon fibre or speed vision whichever you prefer
For christ's sake. It's obvious you're that other guy who made 3 threads or whatever about being colorblind. You're a mediocre troll at best, get out. Trolls are supposed to be funny.
