Any word about the DLC?.
I did it with Kisuke. I felt his bosses were much easier. Make sure to find/buy a decent amount of bronze mirrors. It'll REALLY help when you need to backtrack to the next location. I was able to get to the final save point before the last boss with about 2 hrs and 21 minutes. I think if you get there at about 2 hrs 40 minutes, you should be fine.
So! I am playing up to the Giant Centipede boss as Keisuke.
How to defeat these folks I wonder.
Also, Long Sword sucksOr maybe I am just so sucky at them.
Long Sword normal attacks do suck, with the saving grace being that the air attack is combo heaven. I pretty much pull them out just to spam exploitable secret arts.

Make sure to use the second, purple set right after you enter the second snow area. They offer a lot more XP in comparison to the other ones(who still offer a lot)
The purple what?

There is a screen with a set of three, purple tinted Snow Maidens.

It's kind of unbelievable how good this game looks on the Vita's screen. I have the Wii version, and it did NOT look this good even though the assets are all the same. What a difference some extra resolution makes.
I couldn't find purple snow maidens. I'm just using the snow maiden den to level.

Are you playing as Momohime right now? Don't think it really matters though. In any case, are you using the grind spot that is one screen over from a save point? If that's the case just go the next, story required area and you'll pass them. If you backtracked just go up and to the right I think.

It allows you to forge and equip high level weapons and use their secret arts. Enemies scale in health and damage dealt(as well as xp given) so the health really means nothing.
I'm not certain, but I think the snow maiden cave actually gives less EXP per kill than the ones up in the mountain. I felt like I was getting more, anyway.
Not everything in the game scales, only "random" map encounters and postgame boss fights do. It's possible to be overleveled for a story boss and have more health than he can realistically take out before you're done mashing him to death. Same with Evil Caves, there's a reason why there's a recommended levels before attempting them.

I don't know, I was doing the frog Caves recommended for level 29 at level 99 and one frog blast would take out a few thousand hp. Same went for most things in the game. Game was never really difficult though because one can spam the arts and blacksmith items. So due to that I can't really speak for the bosses as most are pretty easy to take out. Still lost health very quickly when hit by their attacks, you sure damage for bosses doesn't scale at all?
Maaaaybe damage scales a bit then, but it's never to a point where having a level far above the recommended doesn't matter. You still get a shitload of extra health that gives you enough time to react and move away/heal up, versus just getting destroyed outright if you get hit 2-3 times in quick succession. I'm pretty certain enemy health doesn't scale, at the very least, so having stronger swords makes them die quicker.

Beat Torahime last night. Game's a bit easier than I remember it, though that may just be the controls being less awkward compared to the Wiimote/Nunchuck scheme on the Wii version.
One question, though...how do I
When I played it the first time I only saw one ending for each character.
One question, though...how do I
unlock the second and third endings ?
Beat the final bosses with the two swords you got for beating the game equipped.
Threads of Fate and Descent into Misery.
Edit: Zonic beating me, I'm getting rusty.

Spam cyclone when about to get hit = win. It even hits when the boss is on the ground after landing from being launched.
That is one of the ones I had the hardest time with, actually. There are like 2-3 that took me 30+ minutes of attempts, but the rest are actually not as terrible as you would think.
Also, is there a handy list of all the accessories? That is one of the only trophies left I need and I need to start seeing which couple I have missing.

For you and the other guy, keep attacking the head until it falls off, and then work on the body until it regens. Spam specials when it's headless.
That reminds me of that time my old friend played through all of Star Ocean 3 without knowing there are special attacks. And my other friend who didn't know about the sphere grid in FFX.
I did that too.

Got this yesterday, after waiting two weeks for shipping and paying $25 of tax.
It was worth it. This game is gorgeous!

God, I am SO close to just importing this.
You have to beat the last boss as one of the characters on Chaos to unlock Fury, and that's it. So try to pair it with getting one of the other endings (perhaps as Kisuke).

A bit late, but is the audio mixing borked? The music is way too loud and I can't hear the dialog at all.

Where did you read that?
I haven't heard a thing about the DLC (whether it's still coming or not and/or region-locked).
All the stores are region-locked for digital content, DLC included, since you can only have one account on a Vita at a time.
I do think basing the purchase on the DLC is silly though. As far as we know, the DLC literally doesn't exist yet.

If I import this I know I won’t be able to get the DLC, but if the game eventually comes out in Australia and the DLC is put up on the Australian store, I’ll be able to download the DLC and use it for the US imported game right?
I won’t have to buy a PAL copy to use the DLC will I? And if that was the case, will I have two trophy lists appear for both the PAL version and the US version? I need to know because I think I’m gonna order from Play Asia...

I picked the harder difficulty and I was getting worked by the last boss (girl with evil wards) but I got through it.
I haven't had a ton of time to play but I'm moving along.
I can't even imagine playing with on the fury mode.
