More Avatars! Have an enjoy.
Well, call me shallow then because this is kinda depressing me. Sorta need to know a list of unexpected people who do this stuff, you can see it bleed through for this guy obviously and maybe like Kamitani but I sure hope most artists is an exaggeration, I don't want to google and find out.
Anyways, hope this game goes well for you, Growlanser people, it's basically a miracle you're getting a boxed copy and everything.
I still think you should try it.
Too shallow sadly, I know I won't enjoy it if I don't like the way it looks. That's what being a dumb aesthete gets ya.
Also this is my RPG backlog.
All right, stop everything and play Emerald Dragon.

I dislike IGN as much as the next niche gamer, but let's face it, they're one of the biggest names for getting games noticed.
Expect PSP coverage from them? Not happening.

I think my time is better spent ignoring that cesspool.

I'm really excited for this game and hope Vita compatibility comes quickly. $30 is a lot more than I'd like to pay for a PSP game at this point, but I suppose I'll break the rule for this.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike IGN, but I don't think calling them a cesspool because they're ignoring a really late, niche PSP game is completely fair. They're going to focus on games that are of interest to their audience, and unfortunately, Growlanser isn't among those games.

I'm sure this game will see some reviews.
Not by me though. I planned to at the beginning of the year but it seems like the site I write for has given up on posting content.
Oh well..my copy should be shipping soon so at least I won't have to rush through it.

Erm... many?

I think ignoring an entire platform that still has many new game releases is a pretty vile offense.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, both on our investment in IGN and what constitutes a vile offense.

More than the Vita, that's for sure.

So you're going to wear your weapon ring to abstain from having sex? I guess nerding out does help a little bit.

Do we know if anyone plan to put this on the European PSN store? I'd prefer to play it on my Vita without having to switch around memory cards.

So this game has romances?
I'll also be switching back to my tricia avatar in honor of the release.

Bromance!

Well, II and III had two-three 'bro' endings each... I'm not sure how many IV has.

Ok will try. I need a virtual character to fill my empty, lonely life.

GL4 PSP has a lot of endings. 46 in total, in fact.

Yes, but how many with male pairings?

Does this have New Game +(if it does I won't have to bother doing multiple saves first time through)?
Shouta

7, I believe. There are more female characters in this in general so it's a bit lopsided.
There is a new game plus in the game. Rings, Gems/Magic Stones, armor, and items are carried over, as I recall. That makes it easier to just barrel through the game on second playthroughs.
I'd like to know this as well. Have never played a Growlanser game before, but it looks like something I'd enjoy if it's ever released here.

It's so close, I can't believe it.
Everyone buy this.

Not really that expensive to import the physical us version(at least to the uk it generally ends up the same price as a new game here even with delivery). Unless you're vita'd up.

No worries, brother. United we stand.

Nice! Now I won't have to worry so much about playing some "perfect game" where I save everyone and all the girls love me.

These are great. Thank you!
Have never played a Growlanser game before.
Hearing the combat is in real-time lessens my excitement for the game quite a bit, would have much preferred turn-based. The only real-time SRPG that has worked for me is Valkyria Chronicles, but this game is obviously much different than that.
However, still going to give the game a try.

I have a PSP, even though I've considered selling it, but I'd rather play this on the Vita. Having it easily accessible among my other games on the Vita will make it worth tolerating a more blurry picture. In this case, anyways.
I'll import if given no other choice.

My pre-order was sent out yesterday, so it probably will arrive in the next days or weeks (international order to Germany). Hopefully, it really is worth it, while I love Satoshi Urushiharas illustrations I kinda dislike the "prerendered sprites" look of the ingame graphics... then again, I got over it in TitS as well after a short period of adjusting my eyes
It's not fully real-time, since everything stops when you issue commands. But... Valkyria Chronicles isn't something I'd consider real-time either. Actually, not even remotely. Why do you call it real-time?
Who plays a freaking RPG that probably takes at least 40 hours to finish multiple times? And whats up with 40!!! endings (I know, most of them are probably almost the same, but still) . Isn't a bad, a good and a true ending more than enough? I'm just ranting cause I just finished Nocturne and got some lame ending after 100 hours of playing just cause I didn't do one thing at the right time..I hate that shit. I hope the 'right ' path is obvious and I don't have to look up FAQ just so I don't miss it..
Nice OP btw.

Wait so what is this pairing system!?!
Has to be male/female romance?

You can do male/male but it's not really the same.Wait so what is this pairing system!?!

It's one of my favorite games. What it managed to accomplish when it was released (1989) is nothing short of amazing IMO. It has a neat story, great characters, interesting gameplay.
