Support NeoGAF

[cyborg009]

Changes from Beta:

Reduced load time and increased gameplay speed
Increased spirit levels to allow for deeper spirit progression
Increased number of spirit slots to allow players to have a greater variety of spirits
Numerous Spirit Point requirement updates that allow your Spirit Points to go further

Spirit Points, Summoning Stones, and Destiny Orbs:

In Destiny of Spirits, the world contains three types of magical substances: Spirit Points, Summoning Stones and Destiny Orbs. Spirit Points are earned after battles and can be used to rent other player’s Spirits, merge Spirits to level up, and trade Spirits with other players. Summoning Stones are also earned through battles and you can use these to summon Spirits. Destiny Orbs are available for purchase on PlayStation Store. Some features require Destiny Orbs like Advanced Summon, Rare Summon, restoring a Spirit’s health, and other features at the Shop.

Rare Summon: Currently Knack
Previously from beta it was Toro and Kat and friends from Gravity Rush.

There are multiple ways to obtain Spirits in Destiny of Spirits. “Summon” is one way, and from time to time, you will see familiar PlayStation character Spirits available using the “Rare Summon” feature. Knack Spirits are currently available, but for a limited time only. Don’t miss this opportunity to add Knack Spirits to your collection! There will be other PlayStation character Spirits available in the future, so please stay tuned.

The game is pretty fun, but the f2p hooks are really lame.

 

[Dugna]

Art is pretty I mean really pretty but the tutorial bored me so I have to quit playing for awhile.

 

[kassatsu]

Anyone know how to get your actual psn friends in the game and not randoms?

 

[RE_Player]

Took me forever to download. What are the prices for stuff day 1?

There's a search in the ranking tab.

I am wondering that also.

 

[Callibretto]

Haavent played it yet, but the art is so so pretty. Can't help thinking this can probably be a cool traditional jrpg, somethin like megaten series

 

[Namikaze]

I love the battle system and character designs so much. Seems like a fun little game to take with me on vita.

 

[kassatsu]

There's a search in the ranking tab.

Also under options... really odd place for that.

 

[Grinchy]

I was shocked by how much I enjoyed the beta for this so I'm looking forward to checking out the full game soon. I don't know if I can see myself putting real money into it though.

 

[baekshi]

Don't know if we can trade it directly since I haven't updated vita yet but I made a doc

Anything thing to add or take out, please do suggest~


Waiting for cyborg to update the holy spirit thread... ,_,

 

[Takao]

Destiny Orbs are available for purchase on PlayStation Store.

That's messed up. I wanted Knack, but got some guard instead.

 

[Zephyx]

What is the size of the game? I'll download it later when I get home.

Add me on PSN: Zephyx

You can get 10 points certain days when you log in.

 

[Bashtee]

so I can't get Kat and friends from Gravity Rush anymore? That sucks.

I got little Knack so atleast I got something out of it.

 

[joe2187]

Okay I got Knack, but It wont let me actually use him in battle...what gives?

Is your cost too high?

 

[Chromax]

so I can't get Kat and friends from Gravity Rush anymore? That sucks.

What! *uninstalls*

 

[joe2187]

Is your cost too high?

Yep, yeah that was it. slimmed down my party and now he's selectable.

My Knack looks a little different he's this big gray SOTC looking guy.

 

[EGOMON]

I am in love with this game, i need friends from EU and AS, add me in-game name:
Darkologia
Also my very first summon

 

[ReaperXL7]

So I'm still figuring this game out a bit, but if anyone wants to add me feel free ID is ReaperXL7, and I'm in North America. ATM it does not seem like anyone on my friends list is playing this just yet.

My first rare summon

Do we know if your luck effects what you get from the spirit gotcha?

 

[2+2=5]

Is being online still necessary? Because that's what i hate the most in a f2p game.

 

[michaelius]

So i need to trade for spirits from other regions ? That sux i want the asian ones

 

[cyborg009]

Well yes.

 

[ReaperXL7]

Time to make some Asian vita buddies

 

[maouvin]

I miss my Kats. All of them.

Also, such jelly from people getting SR spirits on normal summon~

 

[2+2=5]

Well yes.

:|

 

[ATXAlchemy]

I miss my Kats. All of them.

You don't know the feeling of getting both Super Rare Gravity Rush spirits on the last day of Beta.

 

[Novocaine]

Glad they are doing something about the load times, they were atrocious during the beta. I kind of got bored of the repetitiveness after a few days with the game but I'll install it anyway just for funsies.

Sadly I have a weakness for games like this, I guess it does not help that Sony does not any equivalents to Pokemon but I have gotten a lot of mileage out of games like this/Brave Frontier/Tower of Saviors.


I hope they do God of War for the theme Summon at some point.

 

[ATXAlchemy]

I want my SpiritDex.

 

[ZettaiSeigi]

Downloaded the game today and I'm really enjoying it. I just find merging of spirits quite daunting as I don't know which spirit to keep and which ones to use as an enhancer. Aside from that, it's a really good F2P game. Makes me wish that there's a full-priced version without microtransactions.

 

[commish]

If this was on my phone, I'd play it. As it is, I don't always have my vita with me so....

 

[Puru]

At least it doesn't feel i'll have to pay anything for this game, can play alot before having to wait for most of the spirits to regen their health.

Game could use more depth during fights imo though. Also not a fan of the boss dying equals victory, should have to kill the mobs too.

 

[ZettaiSeigi]

Is getting an S or SR summon completely random? Is it recommended to use up all your summoning stones to get really good ones? How do you know which spirits to keep and which ones you would use as enhancers?

 

[Moobabe]

Come on EU!!!!

Need me some f2p goodness

 

[silver.tongue]

Is this more like pokemon or magic the gathering?

 

[silver.tongue]

I really think they should have. Collecting characters is fcking addictive.
Pokemon, Skylanders, the disney game I forgot the name of...

A while back I thought Folklore could be it, but the franchise was killed.
The Eye of judgment could do it too, but it was killed.

 

[OctoWhopper]

Haven't played it yet, but I wanted to say how happy I am about being a electric T-Rex.

Is Invizimals like that?
Haven't played that series myself, but I always though it was basically Sony's Pokemon.

 

[darkwing]

my golly the coins thingy is so expensive, good thing i don't need it yet

 

[swnny]

Ahh, I really enjoyed the beta. Got all exited yesterday, because I tought it would release on the 25th, now, 16:30 UK time, still can't find it on the store.

 

[ZettaiSeigi]

Finally got an SR spirit via Hunt. Woohoo! I got the Black Tortoise as seen below.

Now this makes me wonder if the summons we get via Hunts are actually based on our physical location than the location indicated on our PSN accounts. I am in the Philippines (Asia) but my PSN account is US. When I started the game, it automatically assigned America on my profile and I'm sure it's because I'm using a US PSN account. But when I got an SR spirit via Hunt, I got one from Chinese mythology.

I guess this means I'll be getting Asian spirits even if I'm using a US PSN account. If so, that'll be really neat. I have more US friends on DoS so hopefully I'll be able to get more Asian SR spirits and have them for trade.

The spirits you get via hunt deppend on where you are in the game map. I'm european, and in the beta I went all te way to south america in the globe, and got american spirits when I got one from battles there. If you're having battles over asia in the game map, you'll get asian spirits, regardless of you PSN account.

I haven't played yet on the Asian map. I was actually around the US East Coast part of the game map when I did the Hunt and unlocked Black Tortoise.

Then I'm lost, no pun intended.

 

[Takao]

I can't comment on the creatures you discover via the hunt because I got this guy:

Do Spirits level up automatically, or do I have to initiate that? All of my Spirits are at the same level as their capture, and apparently they have 0 EXP despite having won a few battles ...
