The footage for the Japanese version clearly shows that it can read latin characters just fine. It still sounds like a Japanese person phonetically speaking English, of course, but it totally works! There was NO REASON WHATSOEVER to cut that feature out!!!

I'm confused: which character to you customize? The MC or the companion?
You first customize your character and then you'll be able customize your companion (accessory) later on.

For those who've played and enjoyed ssd, what's your take on this? How repetitive do the campaign missions get?
I have the original japanese version, and no - most english words don't work well. They are very simple words that do similar sounds to japanese words.

The fact that you can't cycle through categories with L/R is probably it. You have to press cancel a few times if you want to return to a category that's earlier on.
Kinda bummed that there is no facial hair option lol

I'm guessing there was supposed to be some text here.
Wonder what was supposed to be written there.
Dang, I wanted to mess around with it.

20 hours. Give or take.
AFAIK, it's been patched that you no longer need to be a host to advance the story.

lol i freakin walked 5 steps and bam extended sentence for walking too much
This game is really good, but it's not monster hunter, I went in expecting monster hunter and got lost planet x 1984, and lost planet x 1984 is reallyyyyyy fun but do not go in expecting monster hunter. That said; freedom wars is one of the better games I've played in a while.

It's really fun, so worth $30. Fuck those whining about it being Kusoge.
From what I've read, it was just a lot of bad Japanese players complaining it is "too hard". Granted, we got an updated version of the game, but whatever the setting and combat have been pretty cool so far.

To their defense, the Kusoge part is somewhat patched and doesn't show up until the latter half of the story. It has something to do with
human enemies later on in the game, where they get 100% hit rates using machine guns, off screen snipers, and many, many OHKO situations that the player would find difficult to avoid
But yeah, the other 50% of the complaints come from people who plays this like monster hunter, rushing in with melee is suicide. There is a point why there are firearms and thorns
The game play is neat and the presentation is really great. The character models and environment looks great, the story and characters made me salty
as soon as Mattis or whatever the guy's name spoke, and who the fuck cares about Beatrice, she's not the one in Umineko lol.

How varied are the environments? The videos I've seen show the same city street section and a desert section?

what does pedro have in his mouth
Looks like a re-breather which is a fictional device to extract O2 out of a normally non-breathable environment. Such as water.

Sort of. Any missions you complete give you a non-failure certificate you can use to skip them in singleplayer. So I completed a few missions in online co-op, and when I get to them in the story they'll be done. If I hosted a game and did the missions I need to to progress, they would count. But it looks like you still need to run around and do story stuff to unlock missions whether you've played them online or not.

not really then the usual doinks would whine about framerate and graphics non stop.

Probably the usual store update time, around 6-8 hours from now.
Who knows? Sony have decided to not give a specific date for Australia's digital release despite the physical release already being out. At this rate it looks like we won't get it on PSN until Friday or Saturday when the UK and Europe gets it.
That would be great, but the most recent EU blog update changed the release date for Europe and UK to the 31st.

Jesus, what is going on. If it's not out on psn tonight i guess i'll just buy a retail copy before work tomorrow.
Good news, looks like it should be up with the weekly update.

I really wish Australia had our own PS Blog or at least got acknowledged somewhat on the EU one... it can often be really confusing when release dates differ like with this.

Got to play for a bit and make my character, went as close as I could to my avatar of Makoto from Persona 3, with what I can currently use for customization:
Aigis is my Accessory for obvious reasons (robot girl?)
Here's my rap sheet:
Game is fun!

What kind of customization is unlocked later on that isn't available at the start?
You can actually change all that when you're in the cell.

You can pretty much change all of your character attributes whenever you want after the introduction, name included. The panopticon swap you pay for.
It shoves a #e at the end of Julien's name too, and I had to assume that wasn't quite right. I tried listening to see what the vocals actually said, but I couldn't really tell. Also, if you (beginning of CODE 2 spoilers)I'm guessing there was supposed to be some text here.
go to talk to Mattias without getting the permissions to talk to other inmates and talk to other genders (if your character is female)
There are a few beards under the body sticker options. Not any powerful ones though
Oh, I didn't know that.
