If there's anyone in the New Orleans area, the Marrero Gamestop on Barataria still had 2 extra copies of the art book just before close of business last night 
They should open at 10am.

Will use my first post to say this game is quite fun and satisfying to play. I've only gotten to the fourth dungeon, but so far I'm having a blast. I may be a bit biased being a fan of RPGs, so apologies if I appear to be gushing.
This is coming from someone who could never get into the beat 'em up genre, but the gameplay is incredibly addicting and challenging. I say challenging because if you go in spamming attacks and don't ever go on the defense, you're going to get put in your place as soon as you fight the first boss. I'm digging how the skills you choose effect performance in combat and, when combined with the loot you receive after the level, truly gives you the "I feel like I'm progressing" feeling. And the visuals.... man. The superb smoothness of the animations paired with the art direction of this game is definitely a spectacle to behold. I like the music too, gives the game a sorta Celtic aura and feels genuine.
I feel Vanillaware could have done a bit of tweaking with the narration, though. It's a bit annoying every time you come out of a shop to hear what the next step is to progress the game. Also if you repeat dungeons, he'll repeat the same thing as if it were your first time venturing through. Other than that though, I don't have any other complaints. I'd firmly recommend people who want to have good old fashioned fun to pick it up and give it a shot.

you can double tap the direction for dash. I'm using dpad for movement. As for equipment change, I believe you can. Put multiple weapons on but only equip 1. In a dungeon, you can use left/right on your iventory (dpad or left stick depending on which one is movement) and you can equip the other weapon by scrolling to it and pressing a button, not sure which one.

You can always double tap a direction to dash, too.. But I can't do it reliably for some reason.
Edit: one minute too late lol
Just press down to use.
You might want to check this website out if you haven't noticed. Eventually, skills can easily scaled to requiring 4-5 skill points for the next level.
Needlessly to say, I have a build for my Amazon in mind.

Double tapping to dash is incredibly spotty with the analog, I tried it for like 5 min straight and assumed it simply wasn't a feature, but occasionally it would work while I was fighting.

There'd better be other newbies when this comes out in Europe
Thats what I thought, but when the sabertooth looking guy comes and I defeat him, he just lies there and then disappears. No opportunity to ride.

So I'm playing offline as a Fighter, rolling with a Wizard, Sorceress and a Dwarf. Can't help but think that they are having more fun than I am each time haha. Can't wait to get after those magic users.
Haha, yeah, first time I anded up riding the dino somehow but the only beast left to kill was the boss, so I'd have to do the dungeon 10x

The same thing happens to me, but if you keep going in the dungeon you can mount a fire breathing raptor and get some kills that way for the quest. I was assuming that it was because only certain characters can ride the saber mounts, and the others ride the raptors. I could be wrong on that, though.

Can't you just hold down square to dash? That's what I was doing last night.
Finally got to play this morning, and I'm digging the Wizard so far. I'm definitely going to have to get better at managing my mana consumption, teleport is just so damn useful! I also tried the Amazon, but I didn't really enjoy her combat style. I'll probably come back to her after I get more familiar with the game.
Sure. Bring beer.
Not to my knowledge, the translation isn't too shabby. Anyway I thought the most important knowledge is the skill points needed for each level so you can plan your build well. As for the descriptions, you might have to register them mentally before hitting the site
Yeah curious about the same thing
I honestly wish this was taken out. There are too many things assigned to the Square button for the Sorceress. There's not enough distinction between run and charge MP. Double tapping is a non-issue with d-pad controls.

Yes, but that gets annoying as it always ends in an attack (unless you recenter the stick before releasing square...ugh.), and as others have mentioned, square is already overloaded.
I'm going to ask this again because it got buried earlier - how can I delete characters I've revived at the temple? I want to solo but everybody I've revived always comes to dungeons with me, whether I add them to my party or not. I tried leaving them dead in a dungeon but they are always in my party list at the tavern.
I did activated the thing. I ran front and back to be the first to reach these creatures, repeatedly. I actually have a party with me and the Wiz/Sorc are annoying with their long range spells killing them almost instantly.

go to the tavern and highlight them from your pool as if you are adding them to the party, but there's a button you can press to part ways instead. The top right of the screen tells you which button it is, I can't remember off the top of my head
Yay, managed to get it form the US PSN (since it looks like it doesn't even have a solid release date for EU).
Back when I lived in France I had a US PSN account and could use my CC just fine to buy stuff from it. Now living in the UK, that doesn't work anymore (HSBC apparently running a lot more checks such as matching billing address info and additional password confirmation check - maybe things changed on the PSN side as well).
So here's the trick for people who can't buy stuff on the US store: Just use Amazon!
Create an account on amazon.com with a dummy (but real - e.g hotel or something) address. Keep in mind that some states have taxes even on digital stuff, so pick something like Alaska. Amazon somehow seems to completely bypass bank checks so buying a PSN card code should go through just fine. You get the redeem code immediatly after check-out.
And then just redeem that code from the US PSN store. IIRC it's rather easy to create a US account as long as you use a real address - it most likely doesn't matter if that address is different from the one you used for Amazon, as I'm fairly sure I didn't use that same address 7 years ago when I created a US PSN account
Anyway, that's kind of OT I guess, but since this game is quite popular and won't come out in the EU for a while I thought it'd be useful to post that info here.

Thanks, I'll have to look closer tonight. I was pretty sure I looked all over that screen for an option to get rid of them but wasn't having any luck.
I guess I'm just having bad luck with the quest, then. If this keeps up, I'll reach level cap before unlocking online co-op. ._.;;
I replayed a lower level dungeon with sorceress and elf companions and came across the dino and sabre, both just lying on the ground. I rode both- if your companion gets on a mount that you want to ride, click on them and they will dismount
I completely devastated the wyvern boss with the dino fireball attack

Just asking but when i do quests from the guild and I complete them, must i venture to the end or can I just quit the level? Usually, I finish to the end so I dont loose all the precious spoils.

It's triangle, but when you give them the boot like that, arent they gone for good? I did that simply to exchange for a stronger Elf companion and the weaker one disappeared.
Really sad that this game is going to be undersold. There is not ONE brick and mortar store that has this in a 200 mile radius of me. This includes 4 bestbuys, 6 walmarts, 3 targets, 3 kmarts, 3 sears, and 4 of 6 gamestops.
Wtf is going on with Altus, and/or national retailers?

Not sure if it's the same thing, but the wife and I played this yesterday, with her character being the lead (local coop). When I loaded up my character this morning I was back at the beginning of the campaign.
Great, thank you. I think Ill put some potions and maybe an alternative weapon.
