Get both.
Memories of Celceta is a must. In fact get all the Ys games on PSN (except maybe 1 and 2 since their combat system won't appeal to everyone).
Play Ys: Oath in Felghana first, it'll make you feel like a badass.
Dragon's Crown seemed like a really interesting concept on paper (Vanillaware + random loot), but I didn't like it as much as Muramasa for some reason. Bought it at launch, got burned out about halfway into both the Elf and Sorceress campaigns, and didn't actually finish story mode until last month. I still boot it up for a few quick dungeon runs once in a while though.
That reminds me, I still need to play Muramasa's dlc. It's one of my favorite Vita games, and I can't believe I let this game go by when it released on the Wii. Never tried Dragon Crown's though. It seems like something I'd only like playing just to play with friends. Doesn't seem like my type of game.
Wait...wait...wait...I have the Sly trilogy on disc do you mean I can get the sly trilogy vita for free as this is cross buy? Does this work for God of War too (also have that on disc)?
It did occasionally for me. Because the game isn't in a completely 2D plane like in Muramasa (you can move up and down in DC), you have to pay attention to where the enemies are standing. I wasted a few arrows as an elf because I wasn't able to keep track of where I was with all of the enemies on the screen.
I haven't bought the DLC yet. Maybe after May's onslaught of games is over...

I do custom while keeping the aspect ratio. I don't like wasting all the vitas screen space by playing in a tiny box in original ratio, but I can't stand stretching an image out so custom is a good compromise.
Same. Just set it to Custom and I don't change a thing, keeping Bilinear Filtering on. The games look fantastic.
...Sadly, Cross-Buy in EU PSN only works with the Digital versions of the games (as they would have to make a patch on all disk copies of the Collections). If you have the digital versions and have them be under an EU account, they you will certainly get the games via Cross-Buy
. If you own the disk (or have a NA account, digital or retail)...you will not get the Vita versions from owning the collections already. Sorry man 
. If you don't mind doing this, you can play the GOW Collection (and the Team Ico Collection too) on you Vita via Remote Play with PS3...but it isn't the ideal way to play the games (GOW has Frame Rate drops here and Shadow of the Colossus feels...off on Vita
).Fancy Clown

Noooooo never bilinear filtering! It kills the image by making all the details supper muddy and blurry.
EU have given both Jak and Sly Vita trilogies as retroactive Crossbuy for Digital purchases of the respective PS3 versions. Physical is not included.
Whilst there is no confirmation at this stage, the assumption being that Digital purchases of the God Of War HD Collection will follow suit, to which I will happily accept.
Eh, different strokes I guess. I don't like how sharp and jaggy some PS1 games are without the filter. :/

It sounds like GoW Collection on Vita drops frames. I wouldn't be surprised if RPing nets you better audio with a higher video resolution too.

yeah. i find that if you use "original" screen size for PS1 games, it looks fine without bilinear, but if you change to "normal" screen size (to have it fill the screen but still be 4:3) then bilinear looks nicer on a lot of stuff
been playing SotN with the latter lately. if the option wasn't there, i'd take it however.

I just noticed PJM Vita is free in May for PS+, but it's free right now. Why would they put a game up for May that is already free?
Well, that isn't the case for the original God of War; it reportedly runs solid on Vita even if it isn't at Native Resolution. God of War II on they other hand, runs exactly the same as it does on PS2...meaning that there are frame drops (they look to be more common on Vita too; in a video during the ice mountain, the frame rate looked to be in the mid-20's when it was a solid 30 on PS2).
PJM is part of April's IGC.
It'll be nice if it's Cross-Buy for Digital - I just realised I have the Digital GoW HD for PS3 lol
Yea me too.
And a question to all of you who plays destiny of spirits, how do you earn extra orbs?

Looks like Square Enix will now be publishing WRC 4 in Japan for Vita and PS3. It was originally being handled by CyberFront before they suddenly went out of business. Kind of... unexpected.

Square Enix to cite game not selling as reason for no more Vita Games.

Muramasa was in many ways perfect. The difficulty was perfectly tuned, the bosses were fun, the environments were beautiful, the controls were nice and tight, the music was amazing. Vanillaware were at the top of their game.

I'm very confused here. How is Borderlands 2 coming out next week, yet we have NO real impressions on the game? IGN got to do an unboxing of the PS Vita 2000 Bundle. But no footage of the game.. This annoys me. I want to see it in action..

Hello fellow Vita only member! Aside from the discounts, you can now backup your save to the cloud (
LOL
The free
rental
Muramasa the Demon Blade is something worth looking into if you don't already have the game.
Do:
-Back up saved data
-Get those free games (even the ones on the other systems)
Know:
-The mechanics of PS+
Tip: You can stack years. So if you see an outstanding sale around the holidays, buy multiple PS+ cards.
Make sure you set up auto-save sync with your Vita, as you will be deleting games on you Vita to make room for the PS+ freebees.
As for the games, don't just redeem the PS Vita games, also redeem the PS4 and PS3 games. Sure, you don't own them, but if you do get one (or both), you will have an instant library of great games to play
. As for the Vita games, sadly you did miss out on some great games
; they had GTA Vice City Stories, Rayman Origins, Sonic Racing Transformed, Soul Sacrifice, Strangers Wrath, Ninja Gadien Sigma + and a few others... But, the line up now is great though (Volicty is a blast, Stealth Inc. is a fun puzzle platformer, you get a free Monster Hunter game and many more!), so make sure you get the games the moment they land on plus; your library of Vita games will pick up fast!Lastly, avoid getting too much from the sales with Plus. I say this due to SCE having a tendency to put games that were on sale on PS+ latter on. This happened with Rayman Origins already and it might happen with Maramusa (if you are interested in picking that one up), so just keep that in mind.

Yup, we most certainly did. One of my most favorite impulse buys for sure.
Well, trick is a loose term with these sorta kinda, but they get unlocked via loyalty, not sure when though. Basically hold one or two directions on the Dpad on the upswing, then the opposite direction(s) on the down swing. Get a perfect impact, and you'll get super side, back or front spin. Those are great on their own, and doable from the get go (I think, been a bit since I leveled a character). But do one of those shots on the fairway, and hit the pin (flagpole) with with ball, and you'll get a special shot: spiral, rising, and homing shot. 90% of the time these will go in, but I've been burned a few times by them. They look cool, and give a good bit of Points. The side and back spin shots need to have the ball hit the pin while in the air, the front spin shots can be rolling on the green and hit the pin for it to work. In official tourneys, you'll get a trophy for each one the first time you nail it. Once you unlock them check out the training mode to try the shots over And over. Good luck!

Thanks for these tips! Looks like I have quite a bit of fun ahead of me.

because kaori nazuka is thumbs up
How would I go about using 2 different memory sticks on the Vita. I know I can just register my psn account to both, but every time I switch card my icons reset to positions outside of the bubbles I originally ordered them in. Is there anyway to get around this or is it just a necessary evil to using 2 different memory sticks. Using a 32gb as my primary and just got a 16 gig for free I can now use on some things. Plus I just picked up Muramasa, Chrono Cross, YS and I got tons of other games too recently.
That's just how it works, you'll always get the bubble layout reset when switching cards. I heard you might be able to avoid it by having one of the Vita's permanent OS apps on each page, but never tested it.

the things that will align/match in bubbles on different memory cards won't conflict (undeletable apps like settings, physical games etc) and bump their dopplegangers around. put the content on your other memory card on a page and in bubble spots that won't overlap with bubbles on the other card, or with OS-anchored bubbles that will be in the same spot on both cards.
ex: before the app limit was raised, and when i only had an 8GB card and a 32GB card, the 32GB card had two pages of stuff, and the 8GB card had all my PSOne games in bubbles on page 3... physical games and mandatory apps kept page 1 & 2 in tact.

congrats! honestly there is SO much information that it's better if you just ask here whenever you encounter an issue or have a question.
i don't even know where to begin telling you tips...haha.
i think you have to manually enable auto save/autoupload to cloud in the vita settings and on a per game basis ( in the game settings)
even if you don't download something (such as a free game), make sure to still add it to your cart and click purchase, that way you can have access to it after the game gets removed from being free.
utilizing the SEN store on the internet is a pretty easy way to shop and buy/download to your vita when you are away from it.
take advantage of the discounts.
if get someting for free from plus... you have it until you stop subscribing.
if you bought something at discount or otherwise.....you have it forever.
if you stop subbing and resubscribe x months later you gain access to everything you used to have.
hahahaha.
SCEA gonna SCEA.
Yee thanks for the advice gonna start download games on my 16 GB card then!

wasn't there a bundle containing all 3 games? that's how I bought all 3 last time. only patapon 3 has multiplayer i believe
at loyalty 3 and above i think, that's when you get the trick shots per player.

Too bad about the insane amount of backtracking and thrash mobs in an attempt to pad out the game.
