Support NeoGAF

[Z3M0G]

I'll be buying this as soon as Vita support is confirmed... I need to cut back on buying games only playable on PSP... (just to not immediately spend money, at the very least)

I purchased Unchained Blades as PSP-only and it wasn't long until it was updated with Vita support via PS3 transfer.

---------

(Anyone know how this process works? How they decide if / when to "update" a PSP game with Vita support? And if it can go directly on Vita store or not?)

Since Axelmusic died, I had to order mine from play-asia, given my past experiences with them I'll probably be waiting a while.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

So....without giving, well, ANY spoilers...

I know there are about 4544244 different endings depending on the characters you have interactions with?

Anyway, is there considered a "canon" or "True" ending in this game?

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Happy Growlanser Day, friends!

 

[Pierre Levegh]

Since this game branches and has so many endings, does it have a wheel of fortune type feature like the PSP version of Tactics Ogre?

Ha, and I just got an email from them bumping the release date to august. Knew they'd mess up somehow.

Game is up on the store. Any idea if it works on Vita already?

If it just went up, no one really knows. Also, probably not. Someone would have to test it (try to transfer from PS3->Vita), or at least check if it's on the Vita store.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I passed the part where you choose who will be your partner in the ending. Grinding for Blessing Bells right now. After I finish the S rank in the Arena I'll beat the final boss.

Downloading it now, will update with info as soon as I transfer it from my ps3.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

I imagine it will be the same situation as Gungnir.

Vita compatibility after about a month.

3 Overall endings then varies with character pairing.

 

[Augemitbutter]

not very far in, but i can see that i will like the battle system.

knock on the door to get random rpg-talk, lol.

 

[Busaiku]

Yay, my copy came in.

How big is the file?

You CAN copy it from your PS3. But it's not on the Vita store.

 

[Kerrinck]

How big is the file?

920 megs. 10 minutes to go.

 

[Macstorm]

Wow, so playable on Vita on Day 1?

 

[jorgeton]

Thanks. Feeling too lazy to go to a brick and mortar store after work, will just DL it when I get home. Huzzah for the Future!

 

[Jucksalbe]

Yes. I'm playing it on my Vita right now.

 

[Aeana]

Great news!

 

[scy]

Yes. I'm playing it on my Vita right now.

Best thing I've read all day holy shit.

 

[lunch]

Yes. I'm playing it on my Vita right now.

Oh my god, this is great news. I don't have any money right now, but I'm jumping on this right away.

 

[Volcynika]

Great news!

*avatar quote*

 

[NichM]

Wow, that's cool. Not even I was expecting that!

 

[Eusis]

I'm surprised cj's optimism actually paid off there. Maybe it IS safe for future games... whatever games come along anyway.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Damn, wasn't expecting Day One compatibility with Vita via PS3 transfer! Shit, need to check my budget to see if I can squeeze out an extra $30...

 

[perfect free]

Whoa, nice! Time to dust off the Vita.

(I wish I didn't mean that literally. ;_

 

[Kerrinck]

Yeah, just transferred it from my ps3 also, working perfectly.

 

[Xena]

Playable on Vita then??? Bought!!!

 

[Young Magus]

OH HELL YES!!! Between this and the crunchyroll app being launched, this was a good PSN update

 

[Necrovex]

I said I would buy this if I could play it on my Vita. Guess I'll google how to do a PS3 transfer onto my Vita. First, it is time to buy Growlanser from the PSN store!

It's simple: connect your Vita to the PS3 through USB, and select Content Manager on Vita. PS3 should automatically go into transfer mode, but probably not if you set this all up BEFORE turning both systems on.

 

[Busaiku]

Why the heck can't I install this when it's not at full power.
It's in the darn charger...

I had a feeling...but there isn't one say "missable" true ending ala SMT?

Bloody hell, that's a lot simpler than I would have thought. Thanks!

 

[Shouta]

PS2 game ending, PSP game ending, Alternate Ending. The PSP game ending is basically the true ending and as it goes further than the PS2 ending.

 

[Stage On]

Did Atlus undership physical copies of this game or something? I had it preordered for $5 off at Best buy.ca but it's out of stock/sold out

 

[Hours Left]

Got my copy.

I can't believe I'm actually holding a new English Growlanser in my hands. I'm so happy.

 

[RurouniZel]

Picked up the game along with Kingdom Hearts 3D. Thanks Atlus!

 

[Vamphuntr]

I think I overdid it with the blessing bells :O

Crevanille is back to level 7 now. I'm so going to beat the 4 vs 4 S rank after this (hopefully).

 

[cj_iwakura]

For a horrifying moment, I thought there was no get, and then by the door...

Kitteh liek Wayfarer. Starting momentarily.

 

[Parakeetman]

I think I still have the PS2 version in my closet. I knew your avatar looked familiar but just could not remember from where.

PS2 game ending, PSP game ending, Alternate Ending. The PSP game ending is basically the true ending and as it goes further than the PS2 ending.

Oh why did you go and say that... Now Im going to have to go out and buy the psp version.

 

[B.K.]

Is that little anime OVA for Growlanser IV canon?

 

[cj_iwakura]

Good question. I watched it a while ago. It was good, but nothing seemed particularly spoilery or game-breakingly revelatory.

 

[scy]

Shouta's Growlanser advertising is paying off!

 

[Shouta]

Is that little anime OVA for Growlanser IV canon?

It's kind of an addendum to the end of GL4. I haven't seen it in awhile and I don't remember the plot all too well but I don't recall it being too highly connected to the actual ending so it could still work in theory. I'll have to watch it again to see.

 

[Shouta]

Ok, after watching the OVA, it assumes a few things from the PS2 version of the game regarding a few characters but it can fit fine with the PSP version of the ending as well overall.

 

[SAB CA]

So, just to make sure... It only works on Vita with the PS3 transfer, and probably not with the Transfer from Media Go from PC, right?

No PS3 here, so PC transfer would be by only option for now..

 

[flowsnake]

I didn't think Media Go worked with the Vita in any way.
