Buy the game because you want to not because of what other people say.
I was wary about it since compile heart is hit or miss, but did so due to am a fan of Mota the artist behind it. Didnt think much of the game itself, but I still have it on my shelf.
Games sell on the system anyway. Look at p4g, dragon's crown, blah blah blah. The vita is a viable platform for these small to middle end developers.

It's a dungeon crawler? Looks cute.
In Japan:
-despite the 3ds had 6.5 times the vita's userbase(so in theory on average a game should sell 6.5 times more on the 3ds) ALL the 3ds/vita multis(that i remember) sold better on vita
-despite the ps3 had 4.5 times the vita's userbase(so in theory on average a game should sell 4.5 times more on the ps3) many ps3/vita multis sold better on vita
-despite the wii had 6 times the vita's userbase(so in theory on average a game should sell 6 times more on the wii) ALL the wii ports sold better on vita.
That's why.
For fanboys consoles sold>>>>>>>games sold.
For developers games sold>>>>>>>consoles sold.

The truth of the matter is more and more of the PSP developers are moving over to the Vita platform seeing what it can do. Also how the PSP is slowly being phased out little by little. With how the Vita can run PSP titles too no problem, it also allows for them to continue making money on previous titles, while working on newer ones.
While am not sure of this myself, the smart move by Sony would also to be for any developer within Japan (since we are speaking domestically here) who has a contract with Sony for the PSP dev kits to get free Vita ones. (in terms of no upfront costs) So that it allows them to work with the new hardware and become more familiar with it making the move over easier and allowing for even more developers on the platform. Take the hit now, reap the benefits later.
Granted the situation is not the same, this is the exact situation the PSP went through when devs slowly started to figure it out better and appeared more and more on the system as they moved away from the PS2 as their main development platform. A large catalyst of course was the type of numbers publishers / devs saw get attached to the PSP from the portable monster hunter games.

Plan on grabbing this and Ys for my birthday.
Can't go wrong with too many vita games.

That still doesn't explain why they bring them to the USA, where the console and the games barely sell, afaik.

What would you rather have no games at all?

i love random dungeon RPGs where you lose your levels when you leave the dungeon
but the impressions in the OP don't seem to suggest it's very good
Well to put it this way, its not as good as others out there. So unless you really like the art style or the developers, this is not exactly a title I personally would tell others who enjoy the genre to get... Is the most honest opinion I can give.

Oh hey, Newegg raised the price to normalcy.
Sadly I have to wait a bit because I'm el-cheapo on the shipping.
Oh well, Finals and snuff.

I ordered mine off Newegg due to the sale. I'm really hoping that UPS treats it with care since I hear Newegg is just as notorius as Amazon with using stupid bubble mailers for their LEs.
I emailed Newegg twice about it and they basically said "we can't control if it goes in a box or not, the mail carriers are responsible for treating it well." Incompetent packaging is resposinble, though?
...wish it was pre-orderable at GS. I never have an issue with crushed boxes there. Here's hoping UPS people don't sit on it.

First review I found from Google is from TechnologyTell giving the game a B (never heard of them though!).

How do you mean?

$1 items/$3 bundles of things that you can equip just to change your char's look
Also that review is spot on about this part:
" I prefer to think that Sorcery Saga is just one of those games that chooses to focus on fun, rather than masochistic, roguelike punishment. "
I'm having way more fun with this than Fate Paradox. Like comparing eating ice cream vs razor blades

Can I ask what the total cost was for purchasing all of the costumes?
$14.95, $2.99 per pack (including the one for the head accessories which was pretty lame).
Boo I keep dying in Cero Forest lol. Anyone know how to get Kuu to obtain the crafting skill or is it completely random?
Hmm, does someone mind explaining weapon/shield synthesis a bit more? I don't quite understand how to keep powering up weapons. Like, are you able to fuse any two swords together and the one you want to make more powerful will level up? Or do they have to have those +1s or whatever to power up the weapon/shield?
For example, I had a Kite Shield +2, and I fused it with a Ladle +2 and it turned it into a Kite Shield +4. But if I upgraded the Kite Shield with another shield that didn't have +anything, would it not power up at all? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I understand the gist of it, I just feel like I need it explained to me so I could understand it a tad better!

Yeah, if you fuse weapons that don't have a +n it won't get any levels. I thiiink you might get the seal from it if the primary weapon has the slot for it otherwise I've just been feeding Kuu weapons without a +n.

Nope! I heard that was the pre-order costume for the JP game though. D:

I microwave steaks.
They haven't even shipped my copy yet, what's up with that.
Probably! :O
I didn't want to try lol. Actually when you enhance it tells you the outcome so you can cancel the fuse if it did.
Disappointed in Aksys for this game's release. Had to order it from the US, because they didn't have it listed on any of the Canadian retailers I checked.
So I had to pay more than I should have had to to get it. So annoying. Plus, it'll take forever to get through customs now.

Niche publishers have a very supportive following on PS Vita and just in general. It doesn't need to sell a million to be successful for them.

Vita keeps getting awesome games and I still don't have one, FFFFFFFFF.
Apparently. There was a thread on GFAQs about it but I've always been by my wifi when I played so I haven't noticed. I think the voice packs say you can listen to them in your room but I haven't bothered searching for them yet.
Yeah, I was looking for it but I couldn't find it! Oh well, maybe it'll pop up later!
I'm actually having quite a bit of fun with this game. I was kind of itching for a rogue-like. I could have played Guided Fate Paradox, but it's easier for me to play on a portable system at the moment anyway.
By the way, is there a way to upgrade shields like weapons do? o:
Yup! Same way.
BTW Did you find any armor? This importer on GFAQs keeps saying "weapon/armor" so I'm wondering if by armor he means shield or if there's actual armor in the game??
No clue haha. I only just got my Pointy Spear upgraded to a Barbed Spear.
