I didnt trade it in yet, but i checked which rumor you can get. I took a screenshot from it:

Whats actually the difference between an archfiend and a normal boss? Or is there any difference?
I dont have any specific list, but in short, the patch adds some new pacts, a new enemy called Bahamut, some new raiments (clothes), some new rewards for blank pages and some other smaller changes, like you now get a warning when doing "prestige" if you're already fully stocked on rumors and you cant carry anymore.
Holy ... It really gives Want++ rumours ... I wished for it but that it would actually happen.
Archfiend is just the SS word for Boss, normal monsters are Grunts.
Meaning that rumour makes your chance higher to get +++ essences from any Boss/Archfiend in the game.

I'm interested in this but the fact that it's digital only is a real turn off. I only have an 8GB memory card and atm it is STUFFED full by FFX. I might pick it up when I get a bigger card...
Is Princess Devotion really that much better than the normal neutral Axe?
I don't like the low amount of uses on Devotion =/
I use the black version of it. Only 2 uses but it has 220 power and a duration of 100. Never needed more than 2 for any archfiend so far.
Maybe I should use it for normal pacts, for Alice I'll stay with Axe Edge.

Evasive is a must with weapons. I also like Virgin Binding (mine) and Tyrant Binding (armor).
Delta is worlds better than the Original, I wouldn't buy the Original, the only real use right now is to use it as a Demo.
And if you like the Original you would only like Delta more.
I mean you can't really do much wrong with 6€ but to me it wouldn't be worth it.
Armor is sooo good but I just can't play with one... I need my fashion Souls (Ha I can now use it in two different games).
My Grim offerings right now are:
Cottonmaid Wing's+ (3 star)
Iron Mill+ (3 star)
Axe Edge+ (3 star)
Healing Bloom (L) (3 star)
Starveling Fruit+ (3 star)
Bouldershield Fragment (L)
I'm thinking about changing out the Shield for Primordial Bedrock+
I have 3 set-ups that I use. They're basically different combinations of the same few offerings: Virgin Binding, Princess Devotion, Cottonmaid Wing, Assassin's Wingtip, Tyrant Binding, Princess Mask, Starveling Fruit. All of them are black and 3-stars, and I have multiple copies of offerings that are really useful.
I'll be up for some matches later on tonight if anyone wants to run them down.
Never heard of this series. I want to see some berserk collaboration, Wild Arms was because the producer of Soul Sacrifice was the same on Wild Arms.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
I'm curious to know what was your choice in the end?
Yo guys, I bought and played the first one a while and got to the final boss and then stopped playing. I really enjoyed it while I was playing as well, but I think I bought Monster Hunter and then stopped.
Would you guys say it is worth it to buy that deluxe package? Basically I could use someone to sell me the game lol. The Hanpan hat almost did to be honest.

Sacrifice. I remembered that ending being the better one of the two in the first game, as it left things a little more open to interpretation. It was around midnight and I didn't want to go to bed on a sour note.
I preferred the Save ending for the original ending tbh. I interpreted the Sacrifice ending as just leading to the protagonist becoming the "next Magusar". I chose Sacrifice in extra Delta stuff though and I did like the ending, haven't tried Save yet.

I choosed saved too just based on the fact that I didn't want to become the next Magusar and I didn't want to start the cycle over again but look what good that did....I merely restarted a cycle anyways.
Yes,
sacrifice in SSD (I haven't yet to choose save actually lol) left more into interpretation. You become like Magusar, but we didn't know yet whether our memory erased like the previous Magusar or not. At the end of the scene, you pick up a book that look like Librom before you return to the cage. This I take it, that our character is reading the old prisoner life in his cagem which mean that the cycle possibly have been move from Librom-> Magusar to Magusar->God->Librom. You're not becoming Magusar that destroy the world, but rather "Magusar" that fight against the god. The next game, if there will be any, I presume will focus more on the gods.
True, but the message is that as long as there as hope then there may be a way to break the cycle. That's what I took away from it anyway - they pushed that theme pretty heavily and then Delta came along and introduced a break in the cycle.
As for sequel content, I really hope the sequel expands on the world and lore a lot more by letting us experience it rather than living it through a book. That worked for one game, but I don't think it'll work a second time. Would love to see a HUB area.
The costumes/accessories aren't anything special, to be honest. The game is great though, huge improvement over the original.
Yesterday's update got a blog post: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014...pdated-with-new-content-on-ps-vita/#sf3195422
On the other hand, the Save ending just resets to the endless Librom/Magusar fight.
But there was still hope for change in the original's depiction of the player character walking out of the castle. I don't remember what was said exactly but I'm sure it was along the lines of "Well, I'm not going to let that happen again." And then Delta expands on that eternal recursion and the whole goal of the Magusar line, which I liked.

I finally caved in and bought this a few days ago, even though it's pretty much my policy to buy most games on sale. Having played a fair but not massive amount of the original SS (up to level 5 difficulty quests), I really agree this is the game SS was meant to be. In fact, I'm having trouble wrapping my head about it's awesomeness. The combo spells in particular are amazing AND fun as hell. The new archfiends and areas are really cool, and the game in general is a visual treat. I find myself wanting to play it to the exclusion of everything else, including Persona 4 Golden (not a small praise!). Honestly? I feel pity for the people that have skipped Vita in general and this in particular.

Anyone importing the English retail version?
Newp. Content updates have been through patches so far, but if they ever do anything as free DLC like the first game, I want to have access to it.
I'm fairly certain SS2 was announced simultaneously as SSD during that TGS stream.
Holy shit, I suggested them to post it on blog, they did D:
And through the "Download" button. If they update to add only monsters, they'll use that. (Succubus (JP release) and the Toukiden collab both used). All free DLC is through the game.

I just spent the last hour turning SSD's wiki page on offering combos from this into this. Would you guys say it's an improvement? I think so, but...
It's also missing some combos mentioned in this reddit post, mostly multiplayer ones, so I'll try to check if they work as advertised and add them.

I didn't really feel the same way, we'd already seen how even Sortiara had affected Librom and I can imagine Magusar would be an even stronger influence. It was definitely a cycle, just like the Save ending. They were just different cycles. I suppose I just felt the idea of becoming a new book but with more knowledge was better than becoming the evil that has to be stopped resonated with me more.
Great write up I didn't know half of these combos. You seem to miss the healing bloom+roar.
The older version's a bit easier to read on the phone without the tables but great work nonetheless.
Since I'm using blood the roar+regen seed is good for an extra 60 points when farming for reward drops
Also is it worth grinding blank pages hoping for an easy H+G? XV pact isn't too hard but it's going to take a few runs to get all the sigils...
Which requires online pass which he will not be able to redeem. The physical copy comes with online pass and the game checks it before downloading dlc, playing online, registering slayer points online and Physic Link quests. So if u want to miss out on them go get the physical version.
Yeah, I hated looking at tables on mobile. Toukiden's mitama lists were impossible to navigate. It's not the end of the world through.
Wish these wiki websites had better mobile options. 😔
Grinding level for heart sigil X doesn't seems to bad. The huge boost have opened oppurtunities for me to use different kind of sigils since most of the time you would killed the archfiend first if your damage output is too big before you could destroyed all of its parts.
Anyway, what's yours choice for main weapon? Mine is throwing sigils, combined with terrain sigil to inflict status effect.

Regenesis Seed + Roar? Yeah, that was one of the two that was missing, I added it yesterday (the links I put up there are "frozen in time" versions of the before and after).
Damn! I didn't think of that.
OK, I'll set aside some time this evening to make an alternate page in the old style and link it from that one. Really sorry about that, guys, I didn't realize. Also, I mentioned in the PSN thread how I have the old music for all the menus (inside Librom); the new version played at the beginning, but not anymore. Anyone else experienced that?

Sorry for the double post, but I just went ahead and did it. I've made it into the default version; now that I've used some formatting to make it more readable than the original, it makes much more sense to have it as the default. The version with table links to and from it.

Now I should have some lunch, considering it's 4 PM.

Nope not the same spell. Have a teammate use healing bloom and then you come in using a charge roar.
Also you see the spell on the japan site.

Thanks, and you're welcome!
Not sure about the wiki at large, i just thought this would be a good place to have all combos in a single page.
Oh wow, not only did the original Wiki page not have that combo, it wasn't on Reddit's page either. I'll add it right away. Thanks a lot!
Edit: Wait, what does it do exactly?

Kind of like the a aoe healing spell.Similar to a spell that requires two players to active.

Guys, this game is without doubt amazing, but is tremendously easier compared to the vanilla version.
I've defeted the IX Cerberus with 1 Atk, black stone offerings and heart blitz sigil (plus lv. IV spear and assault sigils) in little more than 4 minutes...
Are black pacts the same or they are harder?

Black pacts go up to XV. They get harder.
