I woke up to the amiami e-mail saying it was time to pay. 
Soooo hyped. I hope it gets processed and makes it before Monday.

I don't think so. He and Fatty are day 1 DLC (600 yen). Maybe He's included with the digital release for a limited time but I haven't heard anything about that.

I don't think so. Probably DLC later. I'll buy it. All of it. I don't care. Jojo is my favorite series.

Snap! That's awesome, I loved doing those. I was super proud of myself for being able to nearly go through all of Super Story Mode without missing any of them.

How long will it take for Play-Asia to send those codes? I really wanna have it downloaded that day so I can throw up a review or something.
Did anyone ever figure out what exactly unlocked the Secret Factor in the

What does the text say?
...and could someone link to the JPN PSN webstore please!

It's actually cheaper to get it on the HK store.
And that's confirmed, by the way: http://blog.asia.playstation.com/co...013/08/27/whats-on-psn-this-week--20th-august

I've already got it pre-ordered and should be in my hands in a week, I want a link to the JPN store so I can grab Shigekiyo DLC =P
Excellent. What's the history on dlc for the HK store, do they usually get all dlc available in japan, and if they do, at around the same time?

Usually around the same time IIRC. I was just on the store and it seemed like they were getting the Gundam Breaker stuff on time.

Oh damn, now I regret importing the Japanese version
I didn't think about the possibility of buying the HK version digitally... Ah well, so long as I get to play the game I'm good.
Is it confirmed that the characters are locked for ALL modes, and not just story? P4A story mode starts locked, but everyone is available in versus. I'm cool with that.
As long as unlock conditions aren't like Shin Akuma. (Reminds me that I need to research how to get a unlocked save onto my VMU....)

Edit: dear self. Please stop considering buying both physical and digital. That's not the sign of a sane person.

And it seems that the digital version also gets Kira for free if you buy before the 25th of september.

I'm just psycho enough to download it and play until my LE gets here....
lmao just saw this
Thinking about this for a button layout:
top row: light, medium, hard
bottom row: style, taunt, dodge
Alternate:
top: light, medium, taunt
bottom: style, hard, dodge
Advantage to the alternative scheme is that I'm used to it from TvC (partner button instead of style), but there's no real rationale to taunt/dodge placement. Puttstun Cancels and GHAs are easier on the top scheme.
Note I'm assuming there's a full button config. With taunt on select there'd better be.

are taunt and dodge really separate buttons and not any combination of other buttons?
According to the page with the control info, default has dodge (i.e., move into foreground/background as in VF) on X and taunt on select, and they aren't macros.

Why wouldn't there be a button config? I really hope there is one as I plan to play on a stick.

Well I wouldn't put taunt as one of my face buttons
I'm probably gonna do
L - M - H
D - null -S
I thought about the GG layout too. Given how taunts work (draining meter from opponent, building Joseph's ripple level, etc.) I want easier access to it.
Check the Mega CAVE thread. I think someone used them to order SDOJ and had a rather bad experience. But I could be mistaken.
Ugh great, first time I have ever ordered from then.
In fact its the first time I have imported a game from Japan in ages.
This better not fuck up somehow.

The meter they drain seems so negligible. I think the taunt system is definitely more fanservice than anything
I guess it's important for Joseph though
I ordered from them aswell, and this is my first time ordering from the site. Haven't heard anything either.

Game doesn't officially come out until the 29th
I haven't heard anything from CDJapan either where I ordered, but I figure there's nothing to worry about until there has been no action taken on the actual release date

So apparently, the game comes out for HK and JAP areas in 20 hours.
Digitally, I mean.

Out of curiosity, how much is it on the JPN store?
Well, I went back to the Mega CAVE thread and...yeah. Nothing good said about Nippon Yasan there. LiK had a terrible experience getting SDOJ and other people chimed in that they'd had bad experiences as well. Seems the trade off is low prices in exchange for extended shipping delays & sometimes having harder to find items canceled.
Hope it goes well for you guys.

Namco really should have put out some footage of competent people playing. It looks like a different game entirely. There are more videos on that channel.

Going by how many points you have to buy, around 90 to 107. Hong Kong store is around 70 to 89.

Not the focus of their marketing. They're not selling this game to fighting game fans
Edit: this video is just two players taking turns figuring stuff out at a loketest

One video with decent players could've garnered a lot more interest from fighting game fans, especially since Jojo's is offering something really fresh in terms of gameplay (2d gameplay on a 3d plane). Unless that one video would have immediately made most or all Jojo fans want to cancel their preorders.

So is there really a chance that there won't be a button config?

Why do people think there won't be a button config?
I think it being a Jojo fighting game is enough to get the attention of alot of fighting game players in japan. Who will play it and figure this stuff out on their own.
Unless you meant in the west, where the game is not being sold to us
Well to be fair overly technical fighting games are pretty discouraging to casual players so they probably did want to avoid the game coming across as such in the advertising.
Would this really help them sell more in Japan?
He's reading too much into my statement that I was assuming it would be there, and that it would be annoying if it's not.
Uhm... points? What do you mean?

Dollars, I'd assume.
Fugg it, I will go full Harvest and buy the digital version, if only to let some poor bastard play FFXIV in my place lol

I don't see how it could have hurt in any way if the taunts and poses would still be there. They made this game more like a traditional fighter than the Naruto games for a reason and I somehow doubt there aren't some potential Japanese buyers that don't think "lolCC2", but what do I know?

It's a Jojo fighting game.... in Japan.
Please understand
They'd be paying two people to learn the game to put on a show to convince like one guy on the fence about it because lol30fps
