Pre-orders taken care of.
Well, I got around to pre-ordering Dia no Kuni no Alice and BWS -Last Hope-. The first attempt was a failure because both shops I tried to order from were already sold out. However, my second choice shops both worked out just fine. Initially with DnK I wanted to order from Imagine Web Shop because I wanted their extra drama CD with Jericho, Boris, and Sidney. The combination of characters looked interesting, and I already know someone who's gunning for the Tower Trio drama CD that Animate is offering. Unfortunately that plan didn't work, so I've now successfully pre-ordered through Quinrose themselves so I can at least have the extra booklet. In the case of BWS, I wanted to pre-order through Stella-Worth so I could have the drama CD with Nesso, Zara, and Elza along with a special booklet. This fell through, and I was able to salvage the drama CD by ordering through AliceNET, but the booklet was lost. I'm glad for the drama CD though. I feel so-so about Nesso and Zara, but I wanted this drama CD because I think Elza is going to prove to be one of my top faves in this game. He had potential in BWS -Bloody Nightmare-, but he didn't show up nearly enough to really get a feel for his character. If not for him, I would have tried to pre-order from the shop that had the drama CD with Mejojo, Auger, and Arles. I'm hoping I won't regret my decision because I already know that I really like Arles. It's a game of chance with Elza.
