It's out today in Japan. Off to get my copy now; anyone picked it up yet? Any early impressions?

Someone make an English guide so I can import this, please! :D

Seriously though, I want to import it but know I'll miss so many things and, of course, the story with my limited knowledge. ;-; Looks great. Please let us know how it is ( anyone )!

*Roxy*
 
I was thinking about it, but my Japanese sucks... and since I'm moving, I only have cash for Devil May Cry 3 :D
 
I'm going to get this, whether someone finally brings it over here or I have to import it, but I must admit, I'm really surprised they didn't include PoPoRoGuE. Considering both games on the disc are ports, would it have killed S&R to put one more game on there? I think the UMD is large enough. Seems silly to me.
 
tried to get it from "that place" on monday - they had it, they had everything, but the douche bag there wouldn't let me have it , explaining that it wasn't out until thursday (despite selling DBZ3 to the guy infront... argghhh)

was going to try "that place in TD" last night, but it was shut when i got there...

i'll get it tonight and bitch it out/lick it's butt later tonight.
 
Going during lunch break to pick up that and the Sega/Watsuki Shinsengumi game.

Brought my PSP to work so I can give Popolocrois a try until lunch ends :D

Interesting -- are you talking about "that place" near me?

If so, I think I need to arrange a chat with that guy to explain why he needs to sell me stuff on Monday in exchange for him getting my business rather than Bic Camera. :)

I just picked it up, prolly won't get a chance to try it until later tonight though, if at all. Busy day!
 
So does the game include, in any way, Popolocrois Monogatari II?? I heard that was the best game in the series.

Sure does. It's Popolocrois Monogatari, Popolocrois Monogatari II, and an all-new quest.

Wow...I'm clinging to the small, small hope that someone will pick this game up for an American release. Hmm, why did I suddenly think of Working Designs? :P
I guess they are the most probable candidate...or perhaps Atlus?

i've encountered two guys there...

"the kid" who looks about 15 , but has no qualms about selling you anything , whenever (albeit that i picked the last game up on tuesday rather than monday).

"the toothless geek" ... he's missing some front teeth and looks like his new "flat mate" is possibly Oscar the Grouch.

It was the later of the two who was like "oh, but it's not out until Thursday! come back then!"...

I tried with my best shitty japanese to explain that i understand that but that i could usually "flying get", but he was like "no... it's not out until the 10th..."

I wouldn't be as bothered if he hadn't just sold DBZ3 to someone.

awesome, i never got round to playing these, so it's gonna be totally FRESH! :)

Popolocrois is nice, but theres a fair amount of localization there to do it right. Color me interested, since I'm a fan of the series, but it won't break my heart if someone else picks it up. It does need to come here one way or the other.

Yeah there's one guy there who's always got a suit on and always seems like he's in a rush. He dresses kinda like a low-level Yakuza who can't afford nice clothes yet. That's the guy who sold me Yoshi early. I'll have to go talk to them next time (seriously) to see what I can arrange. Maybe I can get my better half to do the negotiating for me. :)
 
Alright, Nippon-Ichi or Agetec sound like possible publishers too! Thanks for the vireland quote as well, jiggle! :)

Man, I've always wanted to try the Popolocrois series, and this is a perfect opportunity to bring the series over.
Also, it's a collection, so it's virtually calling out to Working Designs!! :D

And Vic, if you're reading this, throw in any junk you want (yes, even playing cards!!), I'll eat it up as long as you decide to bring the game over!

I'm not a fan of Nippon Ichi or Agetec... I'd rather someone else took up the publishing duties. Vic, where you at??

I would *love* to, since I've always liked the Popo series. We have a pretty full (unannounced) plate at the moment, but I'm very interested.

Goodie goodie. Would you bring it out for PSP, or would you try to get a console version going?
 
I got to play it for 5 mins literally before lunch ended and worked restarted.

--Anime cutscenes look nice
--music and sound quality seemed good
--Either my PSP is dying or the game has wierd disc reading. Unlike the other games I own every time it read the disc it was LOUD, sounded like the PS1 loading if you put your head next to the system.
--Control is a bit wierd, the game moves isometrically so when using the analogue it's kinda awkward at first control.
--Game doesn't load when moving around through the castle screens BUT if you move into a room that has a different music track the screen goes black and you hear the cd start up and you wait like 10-20 secs for it to load the next room + track. So if the loading in the game becomes bad I blame it all on the music.
--FMVs and startup narration had voice acting, actual game does not (should be the same as the PS1 games)
--Font used is really nice and readable, this makes a big difference on handhelds.
--Graphics looked good from what I saw.

And on a side note when I took it out of the soft case to start it up I noticed I had a huge hairline scratch right in the middle of the screen that's apparent even when the game is on. PSP hates me ;_;
