I have not bought my game yet because I'm a bit ify on SF as a series.
However post here what you guys think about the game!
(Sorry i was not aware the 30th was the shippng date)

actually, the 31st is the release date at gamestop. It sells for 30$,which is a good price. I'm getting black ace, I like the crosses more, and seeing that there is relatively no storyline diff. between versions...
Oh, it arrives at about noon where i live.
I haven't been following much the news on this game.
I'll pick it up for sure, especially since it looks like the battle system actually has some new features this time around. I can't say that I'm very enthusiastic, but it should be fun while it lasts.

As long as the megabuster is not a flameing doghead I'm in.
Well, so far it feels exactly like the last two. Not sure if that's good or bad.
Hey beautiful people, you're better off trying to e-mail me than message me on here.
And at the same time I have people who hate the Megaman Star Force series say "wow this is a really cool game."
And as for the "same game" argument, just curious....how many Battle Network games did you buy? Because they were pretty similar across the board.
The only thing remotely similar is the battle system, but the noise+stacked chips system adds a bit of depth, not to mention the fact that the battle elements have been balanced a bit (shield can no longer be spammed)
The rest is completely different- even a minor sprite rehaul. Being able to transform ANYWHERE is awesome.

Teej, which version did you get? I might be able to get the other one on my birthday.

Black Ace it is.
What are these games running for currently, price-wise?

$30 each
Ouch. Okay, that'd be one of the more expensive items on the list, I guess...

Best game in the series by miles and miles and miles.
I was REALLY wound up in the ending, where I stopped thinking "the final boss is close" to "I MUST MAKE SURE GEO GETS HOME TO HIS FRIENDS ;-;" The ending is actually really emotional compared to other Megaman (Not bn, but MEGAMAN as a franchise) games in general. I've always felt more sympathy for Geo since I had a Dad who also died when I was young, so that probably has something to do with it.
Regardless, this is by far the "BN 3" of the series, and the twist at the end actually has me anticipating game four.

Random thought: they really made some things most interesting and varied this time around.
I was exploring a new area in the game as Mega Man, fighting viruses at random to get new chips. I went into a CC system, found a blue crystal, then stepped out to return to the main wave road. However, the music was different, it had something of an heavy aura about it. As I was asking myself "What's going on, this isn't even part of the main plot", the WARNING WARNING WARNING alarm started ringing... and led me into a battle with the "boss fight" transition. I then ended up facing an Omega version of a boss which V2 I didn't even encouter yet! I quickly went from "That is so cool and unexpected!" to "I'm so screwed!"... this thing has 3000 HP!
Well, off to get deleted...
EDIT: Whaa...? I lost the fight, of course, since 400 HP vs 3000 isn't exactly balanced. I did put up a good fight: I got that opponent down to 1586. However, instead of kicking me off to the Game Over screen, it simply returned me to the wave road with 1 HP, and the normal music is back... Consider me blown away.

I hardly cared for the EXE series, or the SF series at that. The only thing I do like are the boss characters.
Their coming to take me away, hee hee haw haw hoo hoo

You cannot kill what you did not create
I've defeated the final boss of the main story yesterday. I haven't started on the obligatory post-game quest yet.
I've got to say that this is my favorite out of the 3 Star Force games. The pacing has been improved (there are no real dull moments), the battle system finally gets close to the variety we had in the best Battle Network games (about time), and the characters are always fun to watch interacting with each other.
I'm impressed with the amount of custom sprites that have been created. From the moment of Geo jumping into the water and getting back out, from Mega Man's wide-open eyes and falling to his knees at one specific moment, Hope's breakdown and crying on the floor at WAZA, and finally Geo and Omega-Xis' greeting at the end of the game, they finally decided to create new animations for the important moments instead of simply reusing what they had.
Plot-wise, I like the fact that there isn't as much as a reset between each game outside of Geo losing his battle cards. He saved the world twice; random people will highlight that by saying that "Mega Man is the only one who can do this!". This is a huge contrast from the Battle Network series, where after saving the world three times you'd get plenty of people saying "he's just a child, what can he do?" That was definitely nice, and it has me hopeful for any future game that might get produced. I also like how some unexpected things happened. When King was thrown in the Noise Wave by Heartless, it looked like the classic moment where the villain is defeated and might only show up again as a random sidequest... I jumped when he broke the party at WAZA by saying "Ho ho ho ho ho, I'm not done yet!"
With that said,

I don't know why, but I just can't get into the Starforce series, but I loved the Battle Network Series. I think it's probably the new battle system. Maybe I'll check it out.
