I've got the US version, but so far extremely enjoying the game the first 60 minutes or so. I can't go on about my full thoughts till the embargo review date which is July 31st but so far, extremely pleased. Will post some more basic impressions later.

Yup, if she had good life/def as well she would be flat out broken
Thanks. I preorderd in the store and the clerk never mentioned it. Hopefully they don't take them for themselves on release day.

This reminds me of the people that said Phoenix was too weak day 1 because she died instantly and "it's too hard to get five bars"
It's like cmon man you've been playing the game for a few hours why are you already ranking characters

I'm thinking like most of Atlus recent preorder bonuses it'll be packaged with the game
Amazon doesn't list it as a bonus on their site but mentions it in the features, which to me suggests it's more of a first print run kinda thing than a preorder promotion
Please do! Looking forward to reading them.

My games shipped one from each retailer, and with different carriers. It's a race to see who gets theirs to me first!
I can't sleep though, so tomorrow probably won't be a fun gaming day.
No cross buy or cross play, IIRC. Only cross save. Needless to say, many people were disappointed.

That's probably true for local play
but that'd make zero sense for online play. I meant he whole point of the game is to level your own character

That's the case for local play on the PS3. Local Vita play is of course separate accounts because you're using separate systems.
Crisis averted, it is local play!
Sorry for the panic. The news was, stupidly, misinterpreted.

So..if I main a Fighter and I get my gf to couch co-op with me and main a sorceress, I cannot take that already leveled sorceress as a main for online play later on?
You should be able to. All leveling locally will be your save. If I understand it right, it would be no different from you playing Sorceress instead of fighter as your main for a level or two.
But I have reading comprehension issues. I could be completely mistaken.

OK...yeah, something seems lost in translation about the level sync for couch co-op. Maybe they just mean alternate chars are scaled down or up to whichever char is on P1.

What? That blows. My wife and I were looking forward couch co op.

What does that mean exactly? Only the 1st player can customize his character in couch co-op and the other ones have "generic" characters?

What's wrong then?
I'm assuming your wife lives with you. So you'll both have access to both your characters on the same system. No issue since that's probably how you'll always be playing with each other.
The only way this is problematic is if you plan to play with someone both online and locally, as there doesn't seem to be a way for someone to bring their character from another account on to your system to play locally.
They just have to use your characters at your house. (and vice versa, they won't be able to play online with you with the character they leveled at your house as it's on your save)
but I figure for most people it's going to be one or the other, so it's not that big of a deal.

That was how I read it. Maybe that isn't the case?
If we both have individual customized characters that we only play with each other on the same account, that is fine. But if only one of us gets to customize and level, etc. That it's extremely disappointing.
the whole local thing isn't clear but i would imagine you both can play a character you designed, they are both just part of the same save thus you couldn't easily bring your character to a friends house to play your character while they play theirs locally.
the question I have for importers though, are you able to have multiple characters of the same class... aka can i have 2 elves going with different builds if I wanted (or for co ops sake could both myself and my wife play the same class at the same time and build them up differently and save them both so we can continue them next time)

The only way that makes sense is if local play is a different mode from the online game, where you don't gain experience and just use characters you built from the online mode. (I do recall there being a distinction between an online quest mode and an "arcade" local mode)
If that ends up being the case that will pretty much destroy my interest in the game

What it means is that you can't log in with individual accounts. All save data will go into the account of the person logged in as P1. But you can still customize characters and such during local play. There was a 4gamer video posted from Evo that showed local play and there was an option for "Create new" in the select profile player slot. But there were already a bunch of characters that Atlus had created previously so that people could jump right into playing. So even when you go online you could select a character that someone from your local co-op sessions was playing with.

This is the quote:
I think this just means that the game is based off of the host system's save data, so you can't access your character from home via an online network (i.e. no World of Warcraft type logging in to your account from another location). The data is all locally saved. I don't think it means you can't each have your own character.

This whole local save thing is confusing me. I intended to play this with my boyfriend (couch coop) and with a friend who lives in Hawaii (online), but not necessarily always at the same time. Basically sometimes I'd want to play only locally, and if my friend comes online he could join us.
Will we be able to do that with each our own customized character, or not? :\

From how I read it, yes.

Ok. But then suppose we use my PSN account for our local coop. Now, if my boyfriend wants to play solo on his own account, he wouldn't have access to his character? :\

"Their character overview. They said that the amazon has too low hp for a melee character and the risk for using the character is too high."
Ehhh, that's not really what they said though, simply that it is a low health character compared to the other melee classes, seems to be the trade off for significantly better mobility/speed. Not unlike "squishy" high damage/mobility melee classes in most RPGs.

That I do not know, but it tends to go that way on the PS3 in general. It's just an account to sign in to, so I don't see the big deal. My wife uses my account most of the time on the PS3. /shrug

To those that have got the game early, I'd like to ask a question. Is there any option to remove number popups (you know, numbers popping out showing damage done, etc. JRPG style)? I find them spammy, distracting, and unnecesary.

Yeah that's something I'd like to know, too. The screen seems like it already gets chaotic enough as it is.
It's cross-save only, iirc.
