The framerate in the map exploration is a pitty. It's extremely noticable.
I don't know why Atlus being hardass about it. If it's the licensing problem of voice using, then just follow SE and charge for it. I'll be happy to pay for another option.
This game looks good, but I'll probably only get it after Ar noSurge. Games I need to finish keep increasing.

Is this game an action RPG or turn-based RPG?

omigwad I want it it's so fluffy
Turn based but with a Quest 64-ish system of moving around the battlefield on your turn and aiming AOE spells based on real position of enemies.
edit: Yeah, the battle map's performance is definitely disappointing after playing Neptunia Rebirth. Good thing they've moved on to PS4 I guess.

Neptunia Victory had the same issue.
Thankfully it improves once you run into a battle.
Even for Atlus it usually is with their own, internally developed games. When localizing others they have better than average odds of either offering both or even leaving undubbed.

Do I actually LOSE a fury by using it to pull out a sword or can I just not use that fury to pull out a second sword? I died in the battle, which fortunately wasn't a game over, haven't tried again yet.
They fixed it in Rebirth, and I don't recall it being nearly so obvious in Victory either. Hoping their PS4 stuff fairs better.
Combat seems alright, I could really do without the camera switches for every single attack but you get used to it.

Anyone decided if they'll be #TeamGoddesss or #TeamVileGod ?
I can't decide if they're going to pull a "FOOLED YOU the bad one was the good one and the good one turned evil" so I think I'll do what it says the first time and leave the other for NG+
There is, the game has an in-game DLC browser but none of it was actually up on the store yet when I checked earlier.

I hope it's more like Neptunia rebirth with just a few tiny packages instead of the standard compile heart 100+ with like 40 free ones you have to individually download.
There's 43 pieces of DLC on the JPN PSN Store 11 free, 32 paid totalling 7757yen which is about $72: -
12 bath/swim costumes 360yen each + 2 at 154yen
4 Fairy packs 205yen
3 level unlockers + dungeons 205yen
11 decorative weapon/accessory packs 154yen
3 starter packs for emergency/synthesis/material free
8 packs to unlock floors in the end game dungeon free

augh so it's standard compile heart style. I was hoping they changed their ways, guess it's just because HDN:R is a remake
They better not add anyone as hot as CyberConnect 2 after I'm done playing. grump

Should I feel bad for wanting to be
abused by Tiara?
Anyway, I'll probably be watching for the reviews for this game. Got too many good games coming up soon, even though this one looks pretty interesting.

Looks like my pre-order didn't come in and the stores in my area don't seem to have it either.
Profound sadness.

That review does not fill me with confidence.
Compile Hearts games have been (very slowly) improving, and I actually really liked Sorcery Saga so I picked up this game without having read a single review or impression.
I hope I didn't make a mistake.

I'm fascinated to see how it's received, but I suspect it wouldn't appeal to me for reasons that go beyond being "a galapagos RPG."

Actually having heard horror stories of Neptunia 1, having played Mk2, Victory and Rebirth, they've gotten their act together at a truly impressive pace gameplay-wise IMO.
I found it but out of shrink wrap not a terrible problem for this game. I'd be far more worried about ones with DLC codes etc....
The review certainly painted a grim picture but felt rather poorly written, a lot of it boiled down to the reveiwer saying "I dont like this because I dont like it" without really explaining how or why they disliked it (they kept saying stuff was boring, which is fair enough, to each their own, but it doesnt really make for a useful review IMO)

Here is a review by a friend of mines.
Also I just got the game today. Hoping to complete it by next week as I'll be away from home for a bit and then when I come back, I'll have Ar nosurge to play.
edit: DAT Opening. Might be one of their best Ops this gen

Their big issue seems to be that the story is generic and the characters are uninteresting cliches.
Sorcery Saga had the clichéd characters, but the character designs and voice work were good enough to excuse those failings.
I just hope the gameplay isn't broken. SS had a broken equipment system that made the game too easy, and didn't motivate me to go back to dungeons to collect weapons.

Did anyone in Canada get this game?
EBgames store locator shows that there apparently isn't a single copy in the country.
Not to mention I can't find any at bestbuy, walmart, target, futureshop.
Makes me think they didn't even bother sending any copies to Canada.

Amazon.ca got the game in-stock , and as usual they take their sweet time before shipping my order : /

I might just buy it from there if the game doesn't show up tomorrow.

Anyone know if they've patched the bug the reviews mentioned?
I reviewed the game last week, if you're interested in my thoughts: http://darkzero.co.uk/game-reviews/fairy-fencer-f-ps3/
I enjoyed it, and am continuing to play it even now.

Compa's shaking me down for cash.
Anyone know how game-breaking it'd be if someone, say, used an arcade stick's auto-input to farm the silly jump a bunch/walk a bunch/etc challenges for stats? I'm surprised to see this system in again after Victory. Some of them were pretty unreasonable in that game...

Is it possible to get the platinum trophy for this even if the game is bugged?

My copy finally came in today and I've been playing it for a few hours.
So far so good. Characters are pretty funny so far and I'm looking forward to when the combat system opens up some more.
What are these bugs that people keep mentioning.
Anything spoilerific?

That's odd, they updated for me by the second time I turned on my PS3.

There's a specific bug in a dungeon that will freeze the game when you try to leave it.

Yup, NISA loaded us up with games this month. And I've still got my preorder of Natural Doctrine coming too.
Hmm, I guess I'll just keep trying. edit: working now.
I see, mine happened after I pulled out one of the swords from the Goddess.

My worry is that I won't be able to do a side quest related to that dungeon and won't be able to get all trophies because of that.
