So I'm going to bite the bullet and pick up this game after work. How does the DLC work? Should I download Ch. 11.5 before I start playing and it'll seamlessly fit into the game? Or is it special content accessed outside of the main/story mode?
Also how difficult is the game? I just want to experience it and don't want to have worry about cheap restarts because I screw up a QTE. Is normal pretty fair or should just switch to easy right off the bat?

Nice. How's the combat? Pretty fair?

Cool. And what's the best way to experience the DLC? Play it with the game I between ch 11 & 12? Or buy it after I finish the game?
I'd buy it and play through the game as normal. It fits into the story perfectly.

Holy fuck. Bought it at the promoting of it on the Bombcast.
Three chapters in...what a crazy, awesome time.

QTEs don't fail you, but some scenes are cut short if you mess them up. It won't affect the story or anything, you'll just miss a small portion of the sequence.
It's not too difficult a game. You'll unlock the "defender" gauge fairly early on and if you equip that, it increases your defence to make it easier.

If you're not getting Episode 11.5, I streamed it (I did not include the little interlude after it though, and I messed up on one input)

I loved the approach, but I am not a fan of this episode's art style. It was all over the place, I could almost not make it sense of it.

Chapter 11 did wonders for restoring my faith in video game development.

Actually, I have a question about this. Is Asura's back supposed to have those weird stumps on it? I thought it was part of the weird art style for most of the video.

Finished this last night. My jaw is still at home, on the floor. Absolutely loved the game, the characters, universe, ending,
, just everything.
Episode 13 was one of the big highlights for me,
, my head basically exploded and was grinning until the very end. That episode was so intense.
Can't wait for the next batch of DLC.
extra ending
Episode 13 was one of the big highlights for me,
I thought Yasha was such a badass, and all of the sudden it was like "YOU ARE NOW YASHA"
Can't wait for the next batch of DLC.
As promised:
Asura's Wrath Episode 15.5
Needs more of Yasha's theme though.
Also, after the credits I have the interlude. It just shows how (not really a spoiler but I'll tag it)

The music in this game is pretty great. Question is it just the PS3 version that has some slowdown and other technical issues or is that true for the xbox?
Ah, thanks. From what I can tell the extended ending DLC stuff is in two weeks. I'm hyped.

Well from what I can tell the PS3 version has a lot of screen tearing. Which is a shame because the cinematic visuals are what makes this game. You really want as great image quality as possible. I got the PS3 version because of my set up and well the technical issues are noticeable, it hasn't ruined the game.
Other then that, I'm really enjoying the game. Somehow it works. The gameplay parts are simple, but they are in a way fast and fun, I do wish there was more of them. The anime tv show presentation is great and really makes you want to keep going. When the to be continued pops up, its usually on a cliffhanger and it's funny, you want to see whats next so bad. The story is engrossing and well defined. It's a well presented tale that's engrossing. You do want to know where its going because they present everyone enough that you get there gist, but you're not exactly sure how their role will play out.
And well the art design is just awesome. it's truly why I enjoy Japanese games. So cool to just look at. And some of the scenes are just fun to behold.
So far I'm digging it.
ah ok. guess i'll decide based on controller preference. thanks for the impressions.

Holy shit at the Third Part.
In general the story is surprising me. I assumed it would just be a very over the top corny story in those first trailers with the guitar music and everything. It's been surprisingly well done and dare I say mature. It dosent feel dumb or overbearing with anything. Dare I say it has some subtly. Characters dont exactly spout their character type, you get it from their actions. That honestly is an improvement over a lot of recent Japanese games I've played. I dont want to say and of the characters or story is extrmley deep, but you know it dosent treat me like an idiot and expects me to pick up whats going on.
Asura's Wrath is really good.
The part where you switch to Yasha was pretty great. A really visually exciting part. The entire thing just made me smiled. But in general I do like how the 7 deities have been depicted up into now. Not all of them seem straight up evil, just corrupted by war and how long they have had to deal with it. I really like Yasha's character. There is nothing unique about him, but he just seems like a noble dude, maybe thats what the game wants you to think. But he is a nice counter to Asura and I think using him is sign of decent plotting. Other then that I was somewhat shocked they killed the girl. You know in general I do like how Asura has been done. Yeah he is very angry, but he does not strike me as a douchbag like another certain angry main video game character. He still has his own morals and views and he's not just killing everything

Finished this today on PS3, really enjoyed it. Basically the one thing that makes me want to slap one or two of the dev's is the MASSIVE screen tearing and fps drops, some of the QT stuff runs waaaaay below 30fps, probably dropping down to 10fps at some points. I wonder if the 360 version is as bad when it comes to the framerate.
Wish they'd have released this on PC so I could've enjoyed it at 120fps with no tearing.
Oh yeah, almost forgot to ask (kinda spoilery I guess)

; is there more story stuff to see after the "true" ending? Do you unlock anything when you get 100% completion?

There is an "act 4" DLC thing coming in May. You unlock it when you spend about $6.

as expected i picked this up at half price .. the présentation is just awesome perfect
i just finished part 2 and really it's a game i won't ressell .
Everything about this game is so unique, but the presentation is really above everything else ..
It's lacking a little in the gameplay department but it is really pur adrenaline fun .
Cyberconnect really know their stuff in anime..this feel like an hommage to anime by anime fans.
Going to Part 3 soon
The music is fantastic ..i'm gonna need that

Btw, I noticed that if you choose English language, the opening music during space combat doesn't have singing. It's an awesome track with a beautiful voice so i recommend replaying in JPN if you didn't. Not sure if there's a difference for other Episodes.

finished it yesterday ( true end ).
it's really a well done game that scream for more
i'd argue that the normal end is better than the true end ( without dlcs ) it felt like i was DENIED my happy end..

Just beat the DLC on hard. While some of the encounters you can get wrecked quickly, it's SO GOOD.
Will post an archive of it after credits are done, but I die a LOT at some bosses.

I was amazed by the ending.
Absolutely loved the new four episodes.
19 = great
20 = weakest of the bunch but still quite good
21 = fantastic
22 = words fail me how beautiful
My only complaint is that
. Oh and the slide show after the final episode was also hilarious
19 = great

My only complaint is that
There was no use of "Asura's Theme" in either of these four episodes, there were some spots during the final boss fight that it would made things a little more epic...
Really liked how they reinvisaged all the characters into " moden day times", except for Olga who kinda looks different. And wtf @ "to be continued"?
