I wish the 15$ PSN promotion would stack. I'm spending so much this month.

Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus |OT| Life Returns to Vita

Yup, I am definitely playing for the plot.
I hope I will be completely lost into the plot as well.
PS: It isn't a JRPG or anything where plot is actually important. Just great hack/slash gameplay, plot is an afterthought imo.

I see. Guess I'll hold off on this then
To be fair, you don't have to play Burst to understand this game. It's not as plot heavy as say, Danganronpa or the Zero Escape series. I can say with 99% certainty you can play this and enjoy it thoroughly without playing Burst. But if you prefer to play Burst first, get it while it's on sale, if you have a US 3DS. Will be on sale till the 14th.
You're playing it for Life.

i think they got the jigglyness wrong on the video:
The hair should jiggle liek the breasts
the breasts should jiggle like the buttocks
The buttocks should be made of steel.
Carry on.

Reminded me I have the LE preordered at GS. Nice.
Yup. Rin is in Homura's group, which needs to be unlocked by completing the 3 other school stories
Not too important; as stated above, the plot is pretty much an afterthought, a frame to hold all the flashy attacks and fanservice together. If you played through Hanzo, that really covers all you need for this game. It does give you some nice insight into the Hebijo girls, though.

Great OT. I'll probably end up getting all the DLC, for reasons.

Have the limited edition pre ordered, can't wait for next week.
...Homura is best girl btw.

Burst spoilers, if anyone cares:
Homura and her friends left Hebijo at the end of Burst. They now operate underground as a mercenary team, the Homura Crimson Squad.
shit back on that. wonder how long it will take to blast through the story missions. dont recall there being an easy setting.

This thread reminded me I hadn't pre-ordered this yet, thanks!
Hopefully Amazon will still ship release day if i ordered today. I'm just happy so many good Japanese titles are being localized for Vita.

SK Burst Spoilers:
I'm assuming they left Hebijo and became outlaws after Homura assissnates the guy who plotted to summon Orochi. This causes them to leave and I guess they formed their own squad which gives way to a whole new group of Hebijo girls.

I'm far more excited for this than I should be. This and Evil Within are going to make for a great Tuesday evening.
I'd say so. It has a lot more air dashing and pursuit than a typical musou. It really just plays like SK Burst (fairly traditional action beat-em-up) with a different camera angle, more enemies, and a decent framerate.
welp, i never did get Daidouji in Burst
Finished paying off my pre-order for this today. Hoping the music will be good, since I wouldn't mind another gaming OST in my car. Just glad to hear it's about 39 tracks/almost 80 minutes, which is a nice change from getting ones that aren't even 10 tracks.
Also, might as well mention that the Bon Appetit DLC costumes also work in SV. Cross-compatible DLC is awesome.
Oh, & I guess I should also point out that Burst is on sale on the 3DS eShop for $20 until SV releases. So if you've been holding out on that, might as well grab it now.

Funnily enough, I'm most excited about the DLC being transferable to Dekamori/Bon Appetit. And this last week is gonna be killer; trying to get in as much NepReb as I can before this comes along and dominates my Vita.
Watch the videos for examples of the music. It all sounds pretty boss IMO, especially Murakumo's theme.
I actually bought Burst without knowing exactly what I was going in to. I was ordering something (I think it was Assassin's Creed 4 on Wii U) from some online store in the UK and saw the game for 25 back in, what was it, March this year? Anyway, I remembered that I heard that it was a game that's actually digital only in the US and physical in Europe (and Japan obviously), so I wanted to support the game since, well, Europe needs more physical copies of obscure, Japanese games. When I got it about 2 weeks later, I was... well, let's say surprised by what it was. I really liked it though. Like, not just the fanservice, but story and gameplay, too. Reminded me of those 16-bit sidescrolling beat 'em ups, gameplay wise. Oh, and the music. My god. Some really beautiful guitar tracks on there. I was genuinely, positively surprised and happy about my impluse purchase.
Now, sadly, despite me buying the game very early after release (I actually found out that it wasn't even out in Germany yet at that point and saw some copies on store shelves since), it's Vita kind-of-sequel only gets a physical release in the US, which pissed me off at first, but there's nothing I can do about that I guess. Thankfully Vita is region free, so for now, it'll work out. Though this will be the first game that I'll have to create an American account for... Ah well.
When the news broke that the game would be digital only, I went ahead and preordered the American physical release. Initially, I had never planned to buy a game like this at full price. I did like Burst, but at the end of the day, there are many games out there that are just better or more appealing to me. However, my inner collector went crazy, so I thought "fuck it" and preordered. That was in early August, around my birthday.
And now I'm here. I guess I'm part of this now. Yay! Will be interesting to see if the game will leave the same impressions as Burst did, though the surprise factor is obviously gone. But it's kinda nice knowing what you're getting into, too.

Wait, are the characters transferable too? Because Rin in Bon Appetit is something I really need

OP is mistaken, best girls are Katsuragi and Ikaruga. Nice job otherwise 
Can't wait, even if I prefer the story and tone in Burst.
You have to finish the three other schools to be able to select Homura's group (aka best story arc).
Once you have finished Homura's side, you unlock her and Asuka's final battle.
Keep in mind each school present a different take and tone on the story: new Hebijo is grim whereas Gessen is much more sweet. The heroines of Hanzo are always deadly serious and give your regular shounen manga cast a run for their money in hot-bloodedness. Homura Gurentai is love.

From what I'm seeing, yes, character DLC is sharable as well.
Now I just hope Bon Appetit is priced reasonably. I'm not a big fan of spending $20+ for a digital-only game (& no, Xseed said they don't have plans for the physical version to come over) and the only time I broke it was for Burst & AA5.

For our importers, how does the game hold up gameplay/framerate wise?
And while my wife is most certainly repping team life, I am quite partial to team hometown^^

There's some framerate drops but it holds up pretty well most of the time, IIRC. I don't remember it ever being a huge issue.
Here's the import thread; might be able to find some impressions in there.

I'm up for this but I have to borrow my girlfriends 3DS to finish Burst first (or as she calls it "that booby game").

Great OT. I'm in the middle of Burst now. I need to hurry up and finish it.
Oh, and #TeamHometown.
Oh, and #TeamHometown.
I'm male, but my wife is also getting a physical copy.
She's an odd case, and owns a collection of figures such as Dragon's Crown - Amazon and Rage of Bahamut - Olivia though. I'm trying to put a stop to that, the costs are just too high to continue.
Such an odd reversal of roles. I like it though.
My PSN is pariah164. Yes, I'm horribly predictable. Feel free to add me.

I have to disagree. The plot and dialogue is actually surprisingly good. Better than many JRPGs that's for sure.
Meeeeeeeee too.
