They did a fairly simultaneous launch in NA and JP and were worried about reverse importation.
A good question is why they felt compelled to have the NA and JP dates so close together. It's not industry or Atlus norm.
It's the current standard for Arc System Works fighters.
Guilty Gear Xrd launched in Japan and NA two weeks from each other, and both versions are identical and fully bilingual.

Gameplay wise I think it's one of the most well crafted and content packed puzzle games I've ever played and has a fantastic difficulty curve. Add to that the super weirdness and intriguing unique story, and you've got a fantastic overall package.
I say give it time. There just might be that point when the mechanics clck with you, and I think story wise it should grab your attention pretty soon. Make sure to talk to eveyone in the bar and on the landings. One of the coolest things about the game is listening to everyones stories and helping to inspire hem. There's lots of character and it can be pretty interesting. I got really sucked in to the world and felt that connection with the characters.

How many handhelds can you have activated on one PSN account at a time? I thought it was two, so I deactivated one of the PSPs from it when I got my Vita, but looking on Google it seems to be saying you can have 3 handheld devices activated at once.
Is that the case? I only really want it activated on the PSP for Dissidia DLC, because I have a physical copy of it.

They upped it to three with the release of the PSTV (the PSTV is counted as a handheld).
I currently have a PSP, a Vita and a PSTV activated to my account.

Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires will have some kind of free version:

I finished LocoRoco 2 yesterday and I was wondering why there never was a Vita instalment?
Together with Patapon, it seemed like a sure bet those franchises would get Vita games.

This was honestly my number one reason for being excited for the Vita. Loco Roco and Patapon were the best. A friend kept borrowing my PSP to play Loco Roco but refused to buy anything that wasn't Nintendo =/

Fear of reverse importation perhaps.
Atlus is weird sometimes.
Funnily enough the Japanese version seems to actually have full English voice acting but only Japanese texts. While the English version only have Japanese battle voices for netplay purposes
There have been complaining about the Japanese always get those fighting games earlier and has the advantage over the others place, and since their games are accepted for EVO, I guess they don't want to be called unfair again and again.
Still bullshit for removing game's feature, though.
Yeah, I'll probably spend a bit more time on it tonight and see how I go. My biggest problem is probably that I'm not a huge fan of timed puzzles.

Sweet. I'll reactivate my PSP and reinstall Dissidia then. I couldn't bear not using the FFIV sprite costume for Cecil :lol.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone in this thread could help me with a problem I'm having with my ps4? I picked up infamous second son last night and after downloading the update for the game played for about three or four hours. Today, however, when I booted up my PS4 it's trying to download the same update again, and when I start the game without updating features like the 30fps lock and photo mode (which were part of the update) are gone. Because the console is still trying to download The Last of Us in the background(seriously, is there no way to pause this!?) and because of my already slow download speed it looks like it's going to take a couple of hours to download this update. Is this like a normal thing the ps4 does (just picked it up last week, so I have no idea) or is there something I can do to fix this so PS4 will stop downloading the same update every time I want to play the game?
EU? I'm not playing that often right now and am pretty bad at the game, but if you want some fights online, I'd be interested!
Having several weeks of time advantage for some regions can be pretty devastating to the communities of competitive games.

Yeah, the whole year so far has been great with announcements. Really happy about the Vita's future.
The problem has always been: "How many will actually come over, and when?". The Vita's support in Japan is one thing I never have doubt, but we can't say about other regions.

Thanks very much for pointing this out for me. I went back and played htoL#NiQ with physical controls. I still don't like it much, but I did go and update my review to admit I was wrong about it being touchscreen-only.

I believe.
Of course not all games will come over, but I see a decent chance that a good number will. Just from my perspective I doubt that I won't have enough to play.As long as we get japanese games, we'll get XSEED, NISA, Atlus and Aksys to bring them over.

Most IF/Compile Heart haters I see are western gamers who have never played/only played one of their very early games or have no sense of humor/don't accept humor in games as valid
If anything recent months make me more not less optimistic about localizations. Even bamco seems to have realized that people outside of Japan buy video games after Sword Art.
Press X over a download in the list to pause it. If it didn't successfully download the update it will try again. Leave the PS4 in Rest mode not "power off" and it should download fine in the background and resume downloads if you start instead of redownloading. Sounds weird, I've never had it re-download something like that, but I would pause TLOU and make sure the smaller update installs and works, then reboot. Maybe rebuild the database if that doesn't work, it shouldn't be redownloading it every time or anything.

I think this rumor stems from this quote
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/kusoge/kusoge01.htmIn Japan, Idea Factory (アイディアファクトリー
There are still many titles I want to see in English though. We only get about a third of Japanese stuffs.
Where did you get this idea?
[edit]
I see.
However I can hardly see it as the truth, though, considering their output and the steady amount of fanbase. That could be a word pun that somehow got spread unintentionally, like some on NeoGaf.

These all have a pretty good chance of coming over too.
Well.. the Bamco one might be more of a coin flip.

Isn't it mostly VNs we don't get? Visual Novels are in an extremely awkward place for localization because they're extremely niche but have extremely high amounts of effort required for even a text-only localization. (that was a very extreme sentence)

Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear. The update downloaded successfully last night, and I was able to play for about three or four hours with everything working fine and the update installed. Today, however, the update completely vanished from my game (photo mode and 30fps lock are gone) and it's trying to download again. Also, I already downloaded the initial ten or so GB of The Last of Us required to start the game. The download now only shows up in the information tab of the game. Is there any way to pause that, because I'm not seeing the option to?
I'm treating those that has uncertain localization chance as a lost cause (hello Dungeon Travelers 2), not just VNs. There are also games with heavy amount of texts like Sen no Kiseki, or those with license problem (although Dengeki Bunko is a surprise), or the F2P games.
I'm still rocking the 20th anniversary theme on all three platforms.

Not at all. They changed the art style, which pissed some people off to high heaven who preferred the original. I like the newer version more, but either way that wouldn't really bother me.
There is slowdown with a full army in cities, but iirc wii had it's own issues.
Very playable on vita -- once you have a full army you won't be spending much time in your city anyway. The slowdown is absolutely terrible there, don't get me wrong, it just doesn't really affect the game.
3rd year. 3 screens.
1 new screen per year.
Vita 10 year lifespan confirmed.
HL3 confirmed as well.
You should be able to pause. I think you press options on the item in the downloads list.

I believe Europe is pronounced "Release date: TBA" in Japanese
You can pick the background for any one page from the selection the theme gives you. There's just a set cycle by default.
This is the biggest problem I have with most Vita wallpapers. I tried putting some walls of my favorite characters but it's a pain to have to move skittles around to not block the wallpaper. One of the reasons the 20th anniversary one is great, it's a nice background but there's not much to block.
You can change the default "wave" colors to anything you like. But yes the blue looks better and whoever picked grey for the 2000 is a dumbbutt

The Toro and friends theme looks nice on pictures but on my Vita it is such a cluttered design, I can't really make out anything
BTW, why did they change the default background color with the Vita slim? The blue looks so much better than grey.

I posted this not too long ago, but I don't even do themes because there's nothing decent...
If we got that Freedom Wars one that was posted here once, or the Danganronpa one, I'd totally buy them.
Don't forget about Nobunaga Ambition: Creation with Power-Up Kit. That's a exclusive for the vita (no PS3 or PS4 version this time).

So since we have a Vita Toro theme, where is the NA Ps4 one?

If you're more of a fan of stop and figure out the solution puzzles without the pressure of having to be quick then I strongly recommend trying out the Rapunzel arcade game in the bar. 64 pure puzzle levels without the stage falling. Same mechanics as the main game but with limited moves instead of a timer. They're actually really well designed and offer a similar yet very different experience from the main stages.
You're better off waiting for the PS4's second anniversary.
Multiple accounts bro. You can buy it and put it on your PS4 right now.
