I just reserved iot today and was happy to discover the game will be released with the art book and a soundtrack (though it will most likely be small selection of the soundtrack like Nocturne) This makes me quite happy cause I really enjoy the works of Shoji Meguro.

I also got a chance to browse throught the strategy guide (being taken care of by Double Jump, the kings of strategy/information guides) and I must say that the game is really looking to be damn amazing.

If you ever wanted to see a glimpse of how Japanese daily life works, this game will shed some light. Not only does the game put into account the normal time restrictions of day and night as well weekends but you'll also get to catch a glimpse of many of the major holidays in Japan (Golden Week, the Emperor's Birthday, Girls Day, and the Summer festivals to name a few.) They also put a lot of detail into the world itself and I'm curious if you will actually get to go to a karaoke bar... (It's mentioned in the glossary but I'm not sure if it's an actual loation).

Well I'm definetly psyched
