9 is actually a pretty good entry point (and my second favorite FF) so I also recommend that. Though you should play 7 to, its a good game and everyone has played it so you want to be like everyone right?

You almost sound like you haven't worked in an organization before. There are thousands of games, and different people are in charge of different things cut him some slack.

I would, but he is part of the front line facing people that report upcoming games on the psn store, on a podcast at that. He is literally one of the few people that should know. It's not a question like "whats new in it?" or "Is there any translation differences" The question is "Will this work on Vita" a pretty damn basic question. In 4 days will this be on the Vita store or not and you don't know.
Edit: To clarify i'm not blaming him entirely, it's Sony's fault for completely ill-equipping these people with knowledge and information they and their consumers should have. The fact that FF3 is being dropped on us with no fanfare, info, price or anything in less than a weeks time frame makes this painfully clear. But damn, enough is enough, these people need to start demanding change.
You could wait for FF7 REmake.Why'd you have to say that. Now I have to skip 7.
seriously

9 will ruin you for most of the other Final Fantasy titles so I too recommend starting with 7. (Although don't go in expecting good graphics.)Why'd you have to say that. Now I have to skip 7.seriously

I played it on the Vita at Pax Prime last month, so yes, I think it's reasonable to expect it's still coming.
I could try, if I could remember how to send challenges.
in short, it's a complete shit port of an already bad game,the game got completely butchered,exploring maps/3D world of the original game gone and turned into point and click soulless adventure,cutscenes removed,even the new opening sucks,the female protagonist's persona sucks,you get less of Persona experience, less of RPG experience and less of everything, it's really the ultimate ripoff and the worst port of all time.
Yes.
No.
Yes, yes, yes, no, maybe...
It isn't a bad "port," but it isn't good and FES is the definitive P3.

Ok. I'll check it out.
Okay. I guess so.
It's a portable version of Persona 3, I wouldn't expect more than what we got.

You know I care, at least!
Yes, you got it! I'm glad someone didn't eat my dreams and got the joke.
I have a JPN account, but I probably won't switch over until Tuesday or so...
i'm happy for youThat Tobobeni, at it again!
I figured you were referencing something, but I don't know enough about KH to have discerned what ;_;

there are some levels that are easy to do, try them out first
No worries, people aren't completely heartless. Want some sea salt ice cream to make you feel better?
I vote to just put this once in the OP just to get it out of the way.
I'd say Technika Tune would kill you, but it has safety limiters (aka your arms getting tired).

Are the memory cards still locked to one account after the 1.81 update. I want to try the picotto knights thing
You won't regret it, it's very well made and great fun. The touch blocks are surprisingly awesome too - balancing sackboy while controlling the platform he's on is wicked.
There is this one level called Underground Spacestation by Materialboy which showed off some really fantastic platforming (lag free!) that was actually quite challenging too. One sec..worth showing I think. Looks a bit easier then it was but those bouncy things are great fun, especially a whole floor of them.
And another awesome low-gravity bit as well. Quite a short level but so much fun. Just really impressed and shows what's possible. Only done the main tutorial levels so far and jumped straight to online but they aren't bad at all either, just got excited to see what people have been doing with the level editor.
I know it's pricey but I really think people would want this digitally if they have a lot of retail games already.
We could make a list of the decent community levels too as there are a few already. I've downloaded a few I'm going to go through tomorrow and can make one up/add to one then.
yes
These are the only 2 games i am interested this year, pretty weak, hoping next year will be better.

Book of Memories has been getting a lot of positive preview buzz so long as you aren't still mad over the fact that it's a Silent Hill Dungeon Crawler.
I'm sure I won't! After Uncharted, LBP is my favourite new series which Sony introduced on the PS3.
I don't even mind the controls too much. It's just... something to get used to, I guess.

learn more about that awesome lore then
I... I'm all out...
It really is great!
It looked pretty bad the first few times we saw it, but you say it's getting better? Let's hope that's true...
At worst, it's unmemorable but suitable, at best, it makes the game feel like an incredible adventure. Most of the music falls into the latter camp.

Fantastic. Sometimes I actually dont do anything and just have my sackboy hand out while i listen to the tracks. Really amazing OST.

Looked pretty damn good to me. Animations still top notch pulled from AC3 and such.
Nope.
Same, Brotherhood was my favorite.
The x is dedicated jump...but you can hold R and autoplatform so - yeah. You can't just counterkill easy through since you don't actually block? Like she's in the position of ready but when they attack if you don't move or counter, you get hit. At least that's the way it worked for me using the hatchet and hidden blades.
There's also the blow dart which you hold triangle to aim and then quickly tap triangle again to shoot. Same for guns. The game looks good, but little glitches that are expected of a beta kept popping up like me touching the back pad these blue dots appeared on the screen but even after I stopped some would stay.

You only need 1 challenge and you can beat it 10 times to get the trophy.
Or you can go challenge your friend's times via the pit wall and have it work... I'm too tired to type out my method for that right now, but if you search the Vita gen. disc. thread 4, it's in there at least once.
Actually happy that you don't need to tap X since I like being able to jump around and have control over the camera at the same time.

Loved this ar game concept. The sad part is that i would need a second vita friend near me which i don't have for now.

Well this is cool. Multiplayer game based on the same AR experience!
LittleBigPlanet is a game I knew that would translate well into handhelds. Cinematic games like Uncharted and God of War are nice to have on Vita, but many people dismiss those types of games as they prefer them on the big screen. However with LittleBigPlanet the handheld versions benefits, it's a quick pick up and play game, and the extra controls add to the game.Thankfully Nintendo has many games that translate well into handhelds (Mario, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart and etc). Sony has a few (LittleBigPlanet, WipeOut, Hot Shots).
Here are some games I feel that would make great handheld games
Dragons Dogma - could be the next Monster Hunter
Demon Soul's - have more savepoints so you can play in quick bursts
Gran Turismo/MotorStorm - pretty much all racers are great for handhelds
Torchlight/Diablo/Borderlands - all loot games are perfect for handhelds
Elder Scrolls
inFamous/GTA/Red Dead/Saints Row - open world games are great for handhelds

Vita/PS3 crossplay for SFxT

I wish UMvC3 and BlazBlue had crossplay so the online community would have been bigger. Hopefully the upcoming Guilty Gear game for Vita has cross play with the PS3 version. Also Namco need to announce Tekken Tag 2 for Vita with cross play.

I actually think its even better suited to the handheld rather than consoles. The level sizes are perfect as you said and all the added things you need for the console version like microphone, camera and move is all right in front of you via the vitas in built touch controls, 2 faced camera and mic.
Its also far easier now to make levels using the touch and getting things exactly where i want them. I cant get enough of this game.

I saw their name in the game, but what did they do for LBP exactly? It was odd to see them in a LBP game. Aren't those guys with Sega? The same that did Virtua Tennis 4, right?

Most people here who have played it said it's pretty good.
If you have 2 memory cards and will bother with the profile swithcing you could try the demo.

Sumo is awesome, ever since the Outrun 2 port to Xbox 1
Yeah, they did Virtua Tennis. And I have absolutely no idea how they helped out, but I'm attributing to them a magic touch.
