Only the first 50 people in line got their copy signed by Horii-san. Some people flew in from LA and had been camping out since 10pm last night, even though GameStop said that no one was allowed to camp out. Nevertheless, my friend and I each got a signed copy, as well as a signed DQVI poster and T-shirt. Pics at the bottom. Awesome.
*EDIT*
I wasn't so excited to play the game so much as I was to get it signed by Mr. Horii. I already own a Japanese copy of the game as well (unfortunately not signed), which I finished last year. I want to play the English version just to see how the translation was handled.
