Do we know if Sakimoto is composing the OST solo or is it a collective effort from Basiscape's team?

To those who've played it, how IS the soundtrack?

So yeah everytime I see this character in the level and hear the sound he makes along with the animation, I always make the biggest grin. My GF was laughing at me. This little mouse just cracks me up.

I get that its there to keep track of your character when playing MP since so much crap is on screen, but Ill be playing solo most of the time. Unless it gets ridiculous to keep track of where you are even as a solo romp I dont see the point of it.

Yeah, I liked everything in Muramasa, so i'm hoping for a step up from that. Ideally it would be FF tactics / XII style taken to the next level.

Are the artbooks identical for both the U.S. Vita and PS3 versions? Getting the Vita version for sure and wondering if I will miss out on a better version of the artbook by not going PS3.

They have the same art book. The only differences are between the Japanese and US versions, which are hardcover and softcover respectively.

Still on the fence on whether I should pre-order. I've been download only on my Vita since day 1 and not sure I want to break that.

Not trying to start a debate on physical media vs digital, but is the artbook really worth it? Does it have a lot of art that hasn't already been released or available online? Any impressions from those who imported would be appreciated.

What people usually say about Tactics and XII, so i'm hyped :p

Seriously though, i'm sure he really delivered on the village, deep underground, and boss themes.

If the music is all as good as the music on the game's website, I'm going to be very pleased.

Really sucks that this is not cross play. I am pre-ordering for PS3 but I have a buddy that is only able to play on his Vita. IT SUX!:(

Yes I know I could get for Vita but this game looks fantastic and I want to see it on my crazy tv!

That pretty much just means you're human. I doubt many people can supress a grin every time he appears. :D

Hype reaching critical levels now. If all goes well the game should arrive home during next week. If it doesn't, at least I can replay the demo a few thousand times.

According to the PS Blogcast, there'll be a demo of the game on Tuesday when PSN updates. Pretty sure it's both Vita & PS3, but at the moment, might just be PS3.

I already have EU, US and JP accounts so whichever lands first will be good. :)

I'm excited for this game. I have been craving a new beat-em-up game lately. I just can't decide which version I want. I may go with PS3 for the local multiplayer.

I don't think so

Reason he doesn't do sequels is that he can't usually, so he makes games such that they're stuffed full of all the ideas he wanted to have, with no potential for regrets over things left out. Dragon's Crown is one such game, where he's completely exhausted all the ideas he wanted and implemented them, so that it'd be hard to make a sequel quickly even if asked.
Click to expand...

Dragon's Crown is just packed with things he liked, everything he was hoping for pretty much got put in. The game system, the art, the game book style [does this mean like in Odin Sphere? I don't know.], monsters, scenario events. Now that he's made this game, he can die happy. Not that he wants to die yet----even when his game designs weren't going forward, he always was making planning documents and has tons of other ideas he wants to do. There's at least 10 that he still wants to do most of all.

I think the team has to go back and start work on the Vita Muramasa DLC. The team is tiny and can probably only work on one thing at a time, minus whatever pre-production is hopefully in development for the next game.

How hard is it to play the Japanese version? Impossible to playthrough if I don't understand the text?
Click to expand...

it has full english narration which makes doing the main story easy. there are a lot of shop/menu/skill screens that might be confusing if you don't know katakana at least, but it'd be easy to look up a guide for the stuff you can't figure out. the only thing that might give people trouble is sidequests, which there are a lot of.

Torn whether to get this on PS3 of Vita. Any consensus on which is the version to get?
Click to expand...

Vita: Screencaps, Touch control for doors/chests/revives/runes (smoother and much faster than right analog mouse control on PS3)

PS3: Instant local-play (Vita's ad-hoc unlocks with online play later into the game), better framerate

You can check the Player's List to see one particular split on the matter.

To add to this it's apparently easier to keep track of your character while in the midst of combat easier on the PS3 since you have a much larger screen.

Just watch me!

...Wait, I prefer to remain among the living. It's probably not advisable to try. After all, if I am no longer in this world I will never be able to play Dragon's Crown [as well as the many other incredible titles to come]. I'm pretty sure I can wait an extra day.

...Maybe...

Preordered today. And I was given the artbook early. :D Can get pics if anyone wants.

And I regard their games as, respectively:

Odin Sphere - Masterpiece
Grim Grimoire - Amazing
Muramasa - Very Good

So if this is even better, we're in for a treat.
