That's really dumb, the BD is nowhere close to full. Maybe they want feature parity with the Vita version or something, but they should've had the DLC out on day one if so.

That's really dumb, the BD is nowhere close to full. Maybe they want feature parity with the Vita version or something, but they should've had the DLC out on day one if so.
So any impressions from those who bought the Vita version? Would like to know if it ended up being improved in any way over the Japanese version.
Can't see them not patching this into the English release. That would just be bizarre.
My Kanji knowledge is pretty bad, but I speak enough Japanese to get by. But really, it's not that hard to play these games whether you know the language or not, especially with FAQs and guides all over the place. I kind of gave up on buying these games in English since it takes them too long to localize them...if it all. Out of all those musou Vita games, only two of them -both DW games- got translated. -_-
Yup, no question about it. Better looking character models and higher resolution, too, although the backgrounds are smaller in scale in Next. Plus Next has all that touch screen/panel garbage. :/
There were some comments on GameFAQs about the Japanese version being 1.01 compared to the Asia version's 1.0 and the feature being new: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/730572-dynasty-warriors-8-xtreme-legends-complete-edition/68618019
It could've just been pressed onto their disc. Sadly we didn't get it

Sick vita port T-K, totes:
To be fair to KOEI, their Vita support has been great and they have some of the best looking and running games on Vita atm.
I'm surprised they even released this on Vita over here.
Although I'll most likely get the PS4 version when I can afford one.

Extremely so. I don't even know how the DW8, or even the new XL DLC, works. I have a few pieces of DLC from DW8 that don't show up anywhere even after importing my save, and I got the Mandarin Gowns as a Gamestop pre-order bonus that don't seem to show up anywhere in-game. And yes, I did get to download those.
I hope so. It looks like a mess to me, and it's a bit hard to see anything.
Now THAT'S quality!Sick vita port T-K, totes:

Lu Su? Hahahaha, fucking Lu Su? This series is getting to the pint of being a parody of itself.
I know what you mean, but Lu Su is an awesome character from the novel so it's obvious why he'd be in the game.
But they really need to slow down on the additional characters being added every game.

Lu Su is a great character, but man, I never would imagine him as a fighter. Then again, everything is out the window the minute Kongming was in a fighting game. I wonder if Guo Jia is in the game. Cause at this point, he might as well. I bet they'll add Guo Jia next game if he's not in DW yet.

Guo Jia's been in DW since 7XL, which was quite a while ago. You'd know that if you came into Warriors threads for any reason other than to shit on the series. I miss ROTK too man, but come on.

You are one expansion set behind.

Picked up the PS3 and Vita version today from Gamestop.
The new PS3 cases made me think the guy was grabbing the PS4 version for me when I saw it, lol.
Though nice to see a color manual in the PS3 game.

This is how I feel about it too. Actually, it is exactly how I felt about the port of DW to the 360 near its first year after launch. I'll wait to get it cheap.

So does anyone know how it works if you have digital DW8 on PS3 and get the digital XL? XL being 22GB really puts me off, since DW8 is already like 18GB by itself, and I'm sure a lot of that 22GB of XL is redundant data (all the old character models/voices, stages, etc).

Oh cool to hear.
Don't worry, I will for sure hate you less in this game than in Danganronpa~

It's pretty hard to be worse than a Super Duper Prick.
And who can hate someone who looks like he says everything with a Shakespearean accent!
Whoa, pretty cool.
Why they release the game unpatched, this sucks.

Still runs better than Battlefield 4! Not to mention it's more fun as well.

So it looks like the DLC for the original game doesn't work for the Vita version. :|
It's going to be jarring when I go between the PS3 version and the Vita version and I don't have my costumes.

Don't worry, they will surely add some more mid to late era Wu characters besides Ding Feng and Lu Xun sometime in the next decade.

Doesn't it cost them a fair chunk of money to patch games? I don't see why the option would not be there already and it makes me think we just won't get it.

Okay, so I found this:
So if it automatically verifies the digital DW8, and you can't sell digital games, does that mean that it only has to verify the digital version once, then you can delete it? With XL being bigger than 8, I'd assume it already has the entirety of 8 in it.

Yeah I somehow completely forgot about him, as he dies at Xiaoting in the novel at the hands of the DW posterboy.
Alright so cross-save trophy syncing.
So far I've only got 1 that's easy to check, leveling up the XL characters to 50 for their skills.
They work but you must open the Skill tab in Ambition mode for it to trigger, both on the PS4 and the Vita. The Vita trophy description state this, but you have to do the same thing on PS4.
EDIT: Challenge modes don't sync, Vita has a different ranking number than PS4.

Almost picked this up for PS4, but backed out at the last second. These new $70 Canadian prices are painful (yes, exchange rate has changed, but my garbage young lawyer salary has not).
I'm worried about availability though. For whatever reason, it seems like there aren't many copies floating around for PS4. Is a price drop actually likely? I'm used to buying Musou games upon their release so I haven't followed post-release price and availability.

VideoGamesPlus if you're in the GTA area. It's 59.99 there.
Thanks! Winnipeg, but I may just order it online from VGP.
When I went to pick mine up at Gamestop today, it seemed like if you didn't pre-order, you may be out of luck. So I suspect there aren't many copies out there either..
yeah I just got the games myself from them. Sigh, EB is just price gouging at this point. Bestbuy has it for 64.99 I believe.

There's no such thing as a rare Dynasty Warriors game so you'll be fine.

Have not played 8 but I think thats how it usually works, you don't keep progress gained in the battle you just lost. Anything from before you started it should be there though. Usually is not an issue unless you were like... sitting there for 5 hours grinding one level without saving which I dont even think you can do.
Until Sima Fu, Liao Hua and Hao Zhao make it to the game, there is no stopping.

its the same for any dmc/bayonetta game/ any rpg if you die you dont keep your progress, unless you mean you have no files whatsoever ... which might be odd, but if you level up in a stage and dont clear it, you get zip zelch,natta, nothing. you gotta clear that level to keep those stats.
Yeah. I'm confused here. It did the initial 4GB download which has the tutorial, but it doesn't appear to be downloading anything else...
EDIT: Oh nevermind. Checking the information on the game shows it's still downloading. Weird.

Has anyone tried cross play with just regular DW8?
I'm hearing from people that it does and doesn't work.

Where do you see that? I must have missed something.
i did a quick read through of the last few pages but didn't see anything....
anyone here try out the vita ad hoc?
I'm curious how it performs (and if it allows you to do everything co op like you would be able to do split screen in the ps3/ps4 verisons) as this seems like a great game to buy digitally, download on both mine and my wifes vita and play together while watching some tv (like buffy the vampire slayer lulz)
