It's too early for me to say, but Giant Bomb will be doing a quick look of it soon so you can look out for that.
I'm guessing there was supposed to be some text here.
I noticed that too. It gave me a good laugh. Surprised that made it through QA.
It isn't as fast as SS (or SSD which should be even more faster because of combination of magics) but has fairly great pace. It's faster than any other afaik though besides SS.
I'm sure GE2 will at least come over on PS4
actually I just hope it comes over at all.
Looks a bit slower than GE2 to me, but similar gameplay although even less focus on melee from what I've seen.
Also similar to GE2 in that there's no focus on armour, it's all just cosmetic. Kind of a shame, my favourite thing about MonHun is gathering parts and crafting armour sets and I'd love to see more Hunting games take that approach. Wearing armour made out of enemy parts is just so much more satisfying than spending points for a costume that doesn't even do anything.

Why? Giant bomb will just shit on the game.
Yeah, there are heaps of gameplay videos and let's play videos on YouTube that would people would be better off watching than a Giant Bomb quick look imo.

Added myself to the spreadsheet, feel free to send me a friend request on PSN ^_^You're probably right, but I think Jason A. Striker is going to lead it so there's a chance... At least it's not Jeff.

Wow, the character creation (and model detail/IQ) are amazing in this game. Not what I expected.

People struggling with the first CODE 2 mission: use your Accessory! You can command them to carry back citizens so you can basically double your manpower. I think you can command the other characters too but I'm not sure. It will make it way easier. I went from getting my ass completely handed to me to a nice walk in the park victory.
Also if anyone wants to play right now, add me: jackissocool

The image quality in the opening scene (after the char. creation) is razor sharp and crisp.
Yeah, one of the heads have a goatee, another have a stubble, but that's it. I wanted something like Uwe's. Hoping it comes out with DLC or by intensifying my kouken.

Man I want more Oreshika info too. Also that is a disheartening and sickeningly true statement. So many good Vita games coming out in Japan that sadly won't make it west for the Vita. Hell the new SAO game is Vita and PS3 and its rumored only PS3 is coming west.
I'll double check but I could swear that's what I read on Siliconera yesterday with regards to English translation in Asian markets.
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/10/27/sword-art-online-lost-song-will-localized-english/
Only mentions PS3 translation in the article but maybe they forgot to mention the Vita?
I'm with you though, would be poor choice not to bring it to Vita or both in the west.
Source? Sounds like made up shit considering that HF has been pretty successful and that the PS3 will be even more dead than now next year.

Yup my final ps3 game will be KH2.5 since persona 5 is now on ps4.

The translation is......meh. Reminds me of Fate Extra, which is not a good sign. The ##Empty## screenshot up there is also a testament of the quality.
The gameplay is neat, the graphics looks great, the story is beyond retarded.
$30 is priced "right" for a game like this. $40 is not worth it. At least Sony is nice enough to bring it here with a lower than usual MSRP
At least I got it on physical cart, this game will be a rare find, like most Japanese vita games
And I'm pretty sure this is hammered on when the game first came out, but the amount of God Eater I'm feeling here is over 9000

Seriously, I would just left that Beatrice girl alone

Pretty sure source is Siliconera, which had an article about the Asia translation (without mentioning that it's Asia-only so far, and was posted days late) and didn't mention the Vita at all. But it is BS, since the actual announcement was obviously for both versions. They're full of crap, as usual.

Is 1.20 supposed to be the last update that adds new content to the game, or have the developers hinted that there is more coming?

can you edit your chars hair,etc later?

Yeah, you can even edit your name, and even your gender I think.
Yup you can even change your name.
The producer of the game said that Lost Song is on PS3 because of the west:

Bandai Namco has localized only the PS3 versions of PS3/Vita multiplats in the past, but they would have to be really shitty to do that this time. The Vita version will already be available in English thanks to the Asian release.

We're even getting more customization in the weeks to come. Free DLC until the end of November.

Just played my first pvp match, it was super fun. My team utterly stomped, not a single death.
I didn't even know of they do quick looks of vita games.
So is that balanced?
"We want this game to be successful in the Western market as well!"
<Makes it multiplatform with the goddamn PS3, in 2015, instead of the PS4>
*facepalm*
Japanese developers really have no clue what the market looks like outside of Japan, don't they?
It's not fast like Soul Sacrifice whatsoever, its probably even slowly then Monster Hunter in some aspects, but then again I'm using heavy weapons. (When I used starter light weight weapons they weren't too fast either.)
The game's combat is a lot of fun as of right now, the binding vine thing is very fun to play around with (I wish it had more customization and allowed wider movement/hookshoting around.) The game revolves around the vine's gimmick, and using a combination of guns and swordplay. It's fun, but feels chunky as I said before. If you didn't like Monster Hunter, I might not consider getting this game, but then again you liked Soul Sacrifice, so all I have to say is if you don't have plans to play any other game pick this up and see if you like it. :/
I'm however disliking the Sentence system, it was funny getting 10 years sentence for just walking around my prison cell at first, but having to keep buying permissions, getting - years for doing a mission for no good apparent reason, and there's all these lovely customizable items available if you skip buying permissions and buy more pretty clothes instead.
.... 40 years for standing in place outside in the Warren for a minute or two.... F--KEN RIDICULOUS.
Well it would be nice to stop derailing the thread, but if it came on PS4.. people would cry about graphics, being held by vita and not 1080p or 60fps - like whatever.
Anyways on topic. Going to complete few codes today and call it a day.
Yup, there's no online pass - you'll need to update the game anyway to play online so...
The PS3 is considerably less dead than the Vita, so it's better than nothing I guess. But yes, PS4 would probably be smarter.
Wait WHAT????!!!
Is this true??!!
Did they really take off the voice synth from the western version? I am genuinely scared right now. I was really looking forward to this...

Seems like it, which sucks. Was looking forward to it.

Hard to say. I used the starting sword (upgraded) and a big fucking machine gun. I gave my accessory a rocket launcher. I saw a big variety of weapons. Spears, assault rifles, rocket launchers. It's hard to say what's balanced or not so early on. I think we won cause we had a battery of weapons and thorns and just outplayed them.
Every player having an AI companion and the mobility of the thorns make for a very unique game. I dig it.
I assumed the entire reason they didn't dub the game was so they can keep the voice synth intact?
I am so bummed right now, I don't want to buy the game anymore. I don't like having major features cut from a game's localization. That voice thing was a pretty neat, unique feature, and they just got rid of it?? You've gotta be kidding me...
So the stuff we were talking about in page 5-6 of this thread (the customizable phrases) aren't even there in the western version? Really??
