Thank you for the screens, impression and trophy list ijed. I got home late last night after work and didn't have the time to update the OT x_x I was thinking of doing a trophy list in text only, with a spoiler tag. Hm, can't get the spoiler tag to work with the list code. Let me know if it's ok to just have it without the spoiler, if not I'll remove the list. Gonna finally get some uninterrupted play today on my lunch break >

Just ordered the phsyical Asian version from Play-Asia so I'll be sure to confirm it's inclusion of English for anyone waiting to make sure before ordering. Should arrive early next week depending when they ship it.

So, anyone know how I can get treasure chests out of the trees?
Also discovered something cool today: if you press left on the directional buttons you can increase the camera to get closer to the ground which helps to minimize the slow down. Also on the map screen if you press start button you fast travel back to the castle.

Nice, good tip. I had no clue.
Yeah, I'm a couple of quests ahead and totally in love with this game. Feel like a total asshole for never buying the Wii one, for some reason I always thought it was on WiiWare, and I avoid that trash like the plague.

how does the game compare to the wii version?

I'm stuck! I'm supposed to go to the Cherry Blossom Forest, but the only path I take takes me to the Sunflower Plains and then, by bridge, into some melon region.
Keep heading north passed the melon fields, bring some woodsmen to chop down the obstacles, then head east.

This is good to know. I like these additions. How's the difficulty? Are some of those bosses still as hard as they were in the Wii version?

Ive found it a bit easier than the wii version. a few of the harder bosses have been changed also and there's also no limit on arrows for rangers (used to get 30 for each plus any you found along the way) so you can take out most things with range. am up to getting the crystals at the mo (which replace the animals subquests iirc) - forgot
about some of these bosses - and the dragons can still go eat a dick with their tail flick move grr
Yes, Corobo had an attack in the Wii version. It isn't really used for any practical purpose, and can be safely ignored.

Yes. It was often the fastest way to bust open pots and things.

Stuck on the tiki mask mini boss. I guess I'm using too much melee? I need to stack up on archers @_@ His pattern is predictable, I was just being stubborn. Also, I just got an error code that crashed my game to the os. Was kind of random too. Sigh, I just did some grinding for bol too.

Hmmm didn't the original not have quicksaves?
Can't remember. I assume they changed some stuff for portable use?

Finished it last night with Verde. man the ending's a bit flat compared to the original. still need to do the blue dragon and couple of side quests and get the rest of the trophies. Still a great game but unless a patch comes out i prob wont bother with another full playthrough on hell mode

Asian version arrived from Play-Asia. I can confirm it is indeed in English so if you want a physical copy there you go. I think I recall someone asking about trophies and if they were in English, I can also confirm that to be the case. Not bad for only about $5 more than the digital version...plus shipping of course.
Cool, does it come with a manual by any chance?

After enjoying the game for a while (haven't finished it) I decided to look up the original game and see how it compared.
The original one had much better production values, but just like every japanese game, WTF at that ending. Such a wasted opportunity. I hope this one has a better one.

Sooo Spumoni's absence in this one confirms her as the canon ending in the first one, right?
Cow cannon maybe - She got replaced by a younger princess with a better metabolism

Sadly there is no physical manual. It does come with a multi-lingual health and safety insert thing, so it has that going for it...heh.

What? I know that. You remember how the first game ended, right? You could choose one girl to be your wife.
Your chosen bride then gets eaten.

Yep, I agree with all your points. Sometimes I think, is this game really worth $40? Then I realize I've been playing for 4 hours straight of pure fun.

This or Wii version?
Wii version. That's the true vision of the people who created Little King's Story.

Cross posting from the Vita thread, DLC is hitting the game today ... wait, the presser says tomorrow. W/e, I'll update if it's posted on the store today. I'm a bit upset that they aren't addressing the slowdown issues but oh well. They're not bad enough to make me stop playing, I absolutely love the game. I did a bit of grinding last night and got some better gear for my soldiers, then I played a bit more intelligently against the Tiki boss and beat him
Can't wait to advance more tonight.Rollo Lawson

Is it possible to convert employed citizens back to jobless?
Yes, near your castle is a little cardboard cutout. If you throw them at it they will become carefree again.

Thanks...one more thing - Does it take super long to heal in the hospital or am I missing something? Some dialog I'm not having or something
BomberMouse
Member
I think you need to pay for them?
Takes a few day/night cycles, you might have to actually rest in the bed. Otherwise you can enter the hospital and pay to immediately heal them.

Do I need to worry about alchemy if I'm not using on-line stuff at all?
Wii - better story, charming as hell
vita - better controls, portability, extra content, better graphics
there's some stuff you can only get through alchemy but none of it's really important. seems like doing the arena quests nets you better mats.
also read the manual - select to use princesses powers #mindblown
btw: my playthrough was about 30hrs doing all subquests except for the encyclopedias which will prob take another 10. i think that's pretty good value

Ah, good to hear. I was kind of confused by the alchemy stuff.

Vita version is also easier, but has less character. Wii version has some really hard but memorable bosses. Also I don't know about the Vita version but the Wii soundtrack was nearly 100% arrangements of well-known classical music.
