That doesn't bode well :/ my pre-order changed to shipped 2-3 days ago...
Yeah, a modern Golden Axe with RPG elements is exactly the vibe I am getting. It has me pretty excited.

Well, considering IGN has announced their review is coming out tomorrow, along with them doing a 2 hour stream, I think it's safe to say we know the embargo is lifted tomorrow, the 31st.
I'm naming my Sorceress as Odette, partly because it sounds like the feminine of Odin. Odin, as you know, had two ravens who he sent before him to bring back information. The Sorceress also sends two messengers before her:
I imagine they're named Hugin and Munin.
Oh and also Odin Sphere reference.
Alternately:
Sorceress - Yuria
Amazon - Miralda
Fighter - Biorr
Wizard - Freke
Elf - Ciaran

Hey Atlusprime, any spoilers on when the NA website is going to be updated?

I think later this week? Not sure.
Great job on the OT, btw. Maybe you should PM me with your email address.

Hey can you tell me if the Vita version will support custom soundtracks? For example, starting up music in the dashboard, then loading the game as the music plays on?
Well, I think I got most of the info that's on the JP website into the OT.I think later this week? Not sure.

Thanks, by the way. It's my first OT so I'm glad people seem pleased with it.

Definitely one of the games I'm looking forward to playing. Just hope a 15-20 hour game of this type doesn't get boring with enemy variety and locations and such. A ton of potential though.
Mind you, those are the sizes for the JP version according to a post I read earlier in this thread (for PS3) and some post on gamefaqs I googled across (for PSV), so it could be more or less.Excellent! That is a good size for my hard drive budget

I don't think it does.

For those of you that didn't visit the import impressions thread.
It took me about 3 1/2 hours to unlock multiplayer. I played some side quests, did the main story, definitely didn't rush.
The game is a blast but not without issues. Some folks might not dig the way loot drops, and like many games grinding can be done to beat bosses you can't kill through pure skill.
The game is repetitive, but not in the same way that other VW games are. The stages all look great and have A/B paths that are different from one another. You'll just be running those stages a lot to get new loot/do sidequests/higher difficulties.
Combat is stronger than pretty much every other VW game, mostly as a result of taking what worked in Capcom's D&D games and running with it.
I'm enjoying it a lot though, especially for pick up and play sessions.
I'd personally recommend going with the Vita version. Slow down can be a bit annoying, but the better controls and easy to pick up nature make it worth the sacrifice.

I'm one of those people who doesn't have much in the way of creativity when to naming characters. In Mystara I just use the default name button lol. I better think of something before the game launches.

You mean the touch controls or is there a general superiority in the Vita controls?
That's what I expected since the digital version of P4G was also at full price. Thanks for confirming though.

The touch controls. The Vita version lets you use the right stick to select things like the PS3, and after trying it for a while, I can with confidence say that it sucks balls.
Touch is the faster, better way of opening chests, doors, tapping certain items in the background. Using the stick is slow and clumsy and fucks up the pacing when you're trying to move forward.
I should also add that I think the locations are much more varied in DC than Muramasa, part of the reason being that it's split into small levels, so themes and such are confined to certain stages. You're always moving forward, so if you see the same vista again it's because you're running a stage to get something you missed/grind/or a side quest.
The names for my three main characters will be:
Fighter - Chrono/Chrom
Wizard - Magus/Ragna
Elf - Marle/Alleyne
I have two listed for each since I'm not entirely sure if I'll go the "Chrono Trigger route" or not. I am tempted to, though...
As for original names...I'm not creative enough for that!

I can't imagine the difference will be too gigantic.

"Sorceress".
"Elf".
"Dwarf".
This is probably what I'll do

Just pick a theme and run with it.
Sorceress - Mitsuru
Dwarf - Akihiko
Fighter - Junpei
Wizard - Ken
Elf - Yukari
Amazon - Metis
Or:
Fighter - Conan
Dwarf - Crom
Amazon - Sonja
Elf - Valeria
Sorceress - Zenobia
Wizard - Thoth-Amon
I approve of this theme.
Sorceress - Yukiko
Dwarf - Yosuke
Fighter - Kanji
Wizard - Yu
Elf - Naoto
Amazon - Chie

If I can't think of anything better I'll probably run with this
though I think I'll have to change the Wizard name though, not too fond of Ken lol
I just didn't want to call Kanji a dwarf, LOL. But thanks.

Damn, have tried avoiding any spoilers whatsoever and went and checked the official website... dem videos! Hype train unstoppable now!
Also, can anyone confirm if the North American PSN release of Odin Sphere has the game-breaking slowdowns? Wanna have my Vanillaware fix somehow. Also, heed my prayers Kamitani and release Muramasa Rebirth for PS3!
