Pretty much my feelings after playing the import.
I stopped playing at stage 7 (I think) of Momohime's story. The stages are repetitive, recycled boxes. Empty wastelands with no NPCs or anything to do except eat (admittedly well animated) food. The bosses are a high point as they actually require some thought during combat, but the rest of the game's battles feel super mashy. I played on Shura mode, and after a few stages stopped trying to be clever about fighting and just held down the sword button and wiggled directions to make Momohime slash through enemies. I tended to combo and stay airborne longer doing that.
Maybe you can apply more technique and come up with different combos in different situations but it honestly made no difference to me at a certain point. There's little point in even being careful since if you die, you get to restart in the room right where you left off. And as for the 108 blades, I was only ever using the strongest blades in my inventory as the special moves weren't so useful as to make me want to trade off damage.
The game feels like an exercise in style over substance.

It's just... idk weird? If this was dlc for the original wii game (somehow, idk, i think wii supported dlc?) I'd be fine... but from the title and what not this does sound like some enhanced edition with the added bonus feature of a jump button and the privilege for users to buy dlc!
It's a weird business decision that just feels so dumb that idk... I think ill just get dragon crown instead to support them...
Also... its $40 for a single hd remastering. Throw in odin sphere too and i'll feel more incline to buy these dlc characters.

Yay, I helped!
HD just means > SD, and it is that.
HDTV means something else, and yeah its not that.

The good ones were already taken (=P) but I'll be taking this one, thanks!
Can't wait for this game, I don't know if I'll get used to jumping with a button, though. Is it optional?
Wii version was 60fps so 99.99% sure this too. I think Mutant Blobs Attack is the only 2D 30fps game on Vita, let's hope it stays that way.
The additional character scenarios are supposedly about 2 chapters long. Honestly, I'd import it just for the main game because the first DLC character isn't even out in Japan yet, so who knows when all 4 will be out for the NA version.

Man this and project x zone on the same day xp.
Picked up the wii version back when it was $12, don't mind double-dipping again down the line.

Awesome OT, Noi!
Also, it seems that the English trophy names/descriptions are available online for those that want to take a peek:
Just one more week, my friends!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

Does platinuming the game involve replaying the game lots of time and are there any crazy trophies?
6/25 is the ship date and PSN release date.
There will also be ten various PSN avatars available to purchase on 6/25 as well

All the negative impressions in the last page have me worried...
Hmm, the hardest ones will be the 2 that involve seeing all the endings of each respective character in Fury/1 hit kill mode...

I'm not sure if I'm up for the challenge, but why the hell not.

I'm still waiting for BlazBlue avatars on PSN, you jerks.
I thought so too. I don't really care, will get it Day 1 regardless but will probably sit on it for a week or two before I get to it.

Vita does HD now? Maybe with TV out.
I actually thought they had announced a PS3 port from the title.

Was going to get the CE, but Newegg had/has it for $32 so I am getting it there. Pretty excited.

Fantastic game, should be even better with a legible translation.

Alright then.
If the DLC is amazing and I miss out on it because I imported, though, I'm going to be mega sad face.

I've been looking for this info everywhere but didn't find anything about it:
Was this dubbed? Japanese audio only like Wii? Dual Audio?

I keep forgetting this is coming out this month. I just bought the J&D Collection, but I'll still pick this up next week, but probably on the weekend, so I can have more time to play the other stuff on my plate.
I really, really enjoyed what I played of this at E3. Looked gorgeous, and the combat seemed fun.

I remember fulfilling the Hours, Persons, Doors achievement requirements in the original game and I was bummed there was no blip telling me I did something cool. That was probably the first and only time I missed that system.
Buy I think around 5 bucks each.
