Apparently people who pirated the game can get online too. Kind of sad.

My brief tests suggest that taking the game online with CFW is quite possible!

No, I said that I used my PS3 to redeem the online multiplayer enabling voucher that came with my (retail) copy of the game.

Really? How did they defeat the need to unlock the online multiplayer via a voucher?
I guess they hacked the digital release?

About the whole online play unlock voucher, I bought PSP2 in the shop (UMD) and it never ever asked me to enter it, and I played multiple hours online.
So I was wondering when I ever have to put in the little wing license?
I have a feeling that the whole "entering a code to play online" was just to scare those who normally would pirate the game to purchase it,even if it's a small handful. The codes probably do nothing. It would be great if it actually did what it was supposed to, as it would prevent the inevitable cheating and hacking online from escalating too much.
LALILULELO said:
I bought the game digitally and never had to enter in any license code either. I just went online and it worked.
It's good to hear that people can get online with CFW PSPs, although that makes me wonder how rampant cheating is going to get. I still don't regret buying a Go though...had some fun playing this on my TV with a PS3 controller last night.

Stores were never that useful for getting new weapons etc in PSO, its all about finding those rare items in the field. Im not far in myself but I doubt that they changed that.

Actually the stores update their stock fairly regularly.
I believe it's tied to your current level.
Like right now I'm in the late 50s in terms of level and the stores carry a bunch of stuff at around level 50.
Also there's some nice bootleg weapons that can be bought at around level 30. They're cheap as hell, all C-ranks, and while they're not much to look at they're of decent strength and great for filling any holes in your arsenal.
Story mode sucks for rares btw. I mean the free missions are great but the story missions...ugh.

Wait, so you just went to the PSN store on your PS3 and put in your voucher code and since your psp was linked to that PS3 it let you go on? Or did you transfer something? Sorry, I'm just still confused about the whole using PS3 to put stuff on PSP.
Zaraki_Kenpachi said:
The voucher isn't really DLC.
It adds a service to your PSN account.
Since my PS3 and PSP are both tied to the same PSN account, registering the Little Wings service via my PS3 will also apply to the PSP, as soon as I sign into my account on the PSP.

Exactly why I dont want to play with randoms, that would have really pissed me off.

Lumia when did ya become so serious business?! U4A2 reminded me of the StD defense mission which I liked. In the fmv sequence Alterazgoug was shown in De Ragnus's lair what a lazy error to make! Then the thing went an killed me so I had to do the whole act over again but this time I kicked its butt with a vengenance! Story aside its back to open missions I do Sacred Stream and what should I find at the end but a mysterious warp?! Its a Dragon+Falz mashup o.o! Its got cool moves cool music cool battlefield and is just great! And boy do the titles keep on rolling in! I see there is one for an 80 hit chain now... ugh that's not gonna be easy. Totally gonna need multi-player for that!

Guh just took on a long as fuck side-mission.
It involved going through three areas with three boss fights. I got rank C cause well it took me 45 freaking minutes! Plus I got one-shotted a couple times which is always fun(found a spare scape doll at least).
My reward?
Seriously the damage output in this game is a bit much. It'd be one thing if I was taking on guys 20 or so levels above me but when I get rocked on supposedly even ground by a lucky combination it just gets frustrating. It's really strange balance since otherwise if I can get away or throw up a heal I'll be just fine. Death is either neigh-instant or non-existent..not much of a middle-ground.
The entire time I was wondering "when the hell did Ethan get a long-lost sister?" then it just hit me like a ton of bricks. The creepy girl from PSU..with the skirt that..oh god I blocked those memories out for a reason.

Ethan and Karen's partner cards...hurray. They're both wearing guardian uniforms too. First Maya and now these guys? Lame. Saving the world should lead to getting a badass outfit like Laia's.

I hated PSU when I played it a couple years back, but this game is pretty damn awesome. Bought it yesterday, and I'm already level 21 (been playing online only so far). Any advantages to playing the Story Mode?
Is Ruins the only PSO stage that made a comeback?

What the heck coming outta the end of U5A2 I get an error message saying my install data is corrupt! Now stuff is loading slowly and the 3-5 second weapon load time has become a reality. With the install I'd hit the odd hiccup now and then but loads were not even close to what people were fussing over (prolly DD'ers trying ta justify their purchase). I guess now I have to delete and re-install it -.-
On another subject title rewards have been crap so far. PS's rewards, outside of the grinders, were all unique cool stuff. But in this game I'm actually getting reward re-runs so ta speak. LAME!
Ya I'd think it would be fine for multi-player but the single player challenge is kinda extreme! I hope PS2i finds that right balance between PS super easy mode & PS2 oh gawd why story modes. I'm glad they let ya return to the ship between story missions cause more often then not I'll need to pull a scape doll and other healing items outta storage.
Creepy??
3 years is a long time but she was still so cheerful and a good learner at the end of ep3! Now she's the kind of guardian Ethan originally hated!
The story! That and ya unlock more missions as you progress through it. Oh and titles!
If its anything like PSU then there should be a special rare PSO mission per planet.
Moatoob - Forest, Neudaiz - Caves, Parum - Mines, Clad 6 - Ruins
But thats only my speculation since I haven't got a rare mission in this game yet.

Lindsay said:What the heck
I had this happen earlier in the game. Saved, quit, started it up again, went into options, ticked "Install" back to "On". Worked fine again.
I don't know, the game is weird like that.
Also, would love to play with some of you guys. I tried doing random runs but everyone is locking their games because they're afraid of strangers or something.
Pietepiet said:
Ohh thanks thanks that saved me some re-installing time!
I blame the lack of proper lobbies it makes things so impersonal an less fun to goof around in. Plus alotta people got burned by jerk players/parties in PSU so that'd cause returning peeps to shut in I'd think.
kiryogi said:
Even Lab Recovery? Woohoo! Thats a much better lab-type mission then annoying ol' Endrum Remnants!
I went all the routes! Oooo how I hate them for not making Ep3 available offline cause I was really only able ta get through each route once before closure. The memories they are fading!
Lemme take this opportunity to say: Fuck Chapter 6 in its entirety, especially you Nano Dragons! I ended up B ranking both acts cause of these teeny hard to see time limits but those were only half of it cause enemies like Bil De Vear and Nano Dragon aka "kill you in a matter of seconds" themselves take forever to kill! It took me a couple hours and many starts back from the beginning to finally clear that chapter. Oh and screw Dragon and its janky ass hit box. Rage!

I can honestly say that the game is working for me online 100% great now, wen tup like 4 levels from just doing online open missions.
Yeah, I got it working too. Just had to open some ports. Wasn't able to connect to games before but now I can
Anyone want to get online real quick to exchange partner cards? I've set up a game:
Room: GAF
Password: cardtrad (not a typo, the e didn't fit...)
Just want to exchange cards so I can find you guys easier later. Don't think I'll play much, pretty tired and want to head to bed soon.

WHA?! The four PSO areas are in this game somewhere...?
OMG what have they done to Scarred Planet & Lightning Beasts?! One of the greatest mission settings in the series and they go and completely nerf not 1 but BOTH of the missions which take place there? They've completely chopped these missions to pieces! They average like 2 to 3 rooms per sector now! Curse you Sakaiiiii!

Yeah probably just bad luck playing with a 10 year old or something.
Me and my girlfriend noticed something about the Miku hatsune clothes yesterday, going to test it out later and i'll let you guys know if it pans out (not sure if anyone wants these clothes tho :lol )

I ran into another glitch but this one hurt me so much more! I got into another battle with the rare dragon boss and partway through the fight it became untargetable! It could hurt me but I couldn't hurt it at all. That's so cruel!! I even had a nice rare drop boost from Sayo! All I could do was either let it kill me or quit out of the mission (or the game obviously). ;_;
Sounds like the asshole PSU crowd made it over to this game -_-

Why is this game so damn hard to find? I've gone to almost every Best Buy near me and none of them have it despite saying they do on the website. >:|
Mannnnn. Rainbow Beast is now only 2 sectors long with the second one being trimmed down to just a single room. A bunch of old missions have become super short to the point where I wonder why they didn't just merge them into a single long-ish sector.
Cause I like the stories and being able to read everything and stuff. I'm not that big of a fan its not like I've writtenguides or compiled data on in-game stuff berated PSUPedia and other fansites for their many shortcomings nor have I contributed to 'em. Just a regular fan who gets an plays each game.

Shorter missions are better imo.
10 minutes and boom it's done. Course then I do like 10 missions straight and like that the day is over.

Maybe so but then why not make them into one map instead of us having to load up 2 to 3 seperate sectors? Like I said some of these smushed together would only be about as long as a single sector from a PSU version of these mission.
On another note I finally found the cake shop! Rare boss check, cake shop check, urgent mission? Nopes. Is there an arena like in PSØ? I wonder if theres an eternal tower... also I need ta pop PS back in and check on the colors in the habirao missions cause they seem different in PS2.

So how is this game coming along for the fans? Is it hella fun? I want it so bad buy trying to follow my set of "rules" in buying games, as in not buying a game unless I plan to play it now. Finished KHBBS still got DQIX goin and got Sports Champions through PS3 Slim bundle.
This I plan to get next along with VC2. So should I get this or wait for PSP2i?

I think it's basically a guarantee PSP2i wont be coming here...at the least it will be a year and thats IF it comes here.
DeVeAn said:
I've done nothing but single player because my playtimes tend to be very brief (1 mission and done) but I've still managed to have a blast and rack up about 10 hours total game time. PSP2 is a fun little loot game with some slick mechanics and a graphical "look" that I really dig and I can see myself putting alot of time into it.
Gotta say now that I've got 30-some hours into the game that guarding is the best thing added to this series. Nuts to the dodge! It was fun at first and its still cute to roll through sector gates but really I could live without it. Guarding is brilliant and has become much more of a reflexive move then the dodge!

On PSO-world they are having a vote for which item code is released next (SEGA community manager Ruby Eclipse is doing it) so make sure you vote for which one you want!
