I've been trying to find an import site with a preorder (Play-Asia, YesAsia, Amazon Japan, HMV Japan), but no dice; the only shops that have preorders are Japan-only places like Animate that allow you to place preorders on basically any title that's been announced. Maybe the opening of preorders is the big news Giovanni's promising for next week.

(If the game allows totally AU endings, my first priority will be to see if I can't get Cain crowned Emperor, or at least get him out alive.)
