I want to assume one is the game and the other is the bonus content. I will agree it is weird.

okay i'll play ball here on a vita title.. Ragnarok oddyssy to ACE.. No price reduct and its $5 less than delta(which is what i'd have payed for SSD) and yes it had way more advertisement than SSD did here in the us/eu and i can probably expect the next Toukiden game to follow suit since they are adding new mintamas( iirc) and 2 new weapon types, plus new enemies (but it isnt out yet)
again its a shame they dont do this, but like i said its dumb(not you the idea of expecting a company to make a cheap release for people who bought your previous entry) to expect it when it hasnt happened before
do i wish it was different? Yes else i wouldnt be a cheap bastard if i didnt and why wouldnt someone want a game they've been looking forward to being cheaper . but no i just cant see it happening any time soon, since its a sony game i'll expect it to be free sometime next year if i'm lucky and then i'll download that via PS+ .
They could have at least named it patch or DLC. I'm kind of worried to leave it alone while it download so it doesn't waste my bandwidth by downloading the game twice.

One of two things, if you accidentally selected download twice, that'll happen, there is also a 38 meg patch with content and improvements that needs to be downloaded as well
Ace also has a ton of free DLC (some of it is actually pretty cool) and I believe cross play with ps3, pretty much forcing a new version (I speculate anyway). If it wasn't for the cross play I would also consider that not worth the full price investment.
Also Ace has a physical version (and a 1:1) ps3 version, so there is a larger target audience to take advantage of.
I agree Toukiden will probably do it as well, because fake MH games are taking advantage of a consumer base already used to capcom practices. This impacts people outside of japan much more than everyone else, since we get starved for content and have to wait traditionally through an update (as is the case with MH4).
Does the "expansion" content justify an entirely new game purchase? I don't know I havent played Delta firsthand. I think "little" games like this and Toukiden need to prove themselves and establish a fanbase before jumping straight into MH exploitation levels.
GTFO.
All those Monster Hunter expanded content was shit anyways.
Ragnarok Odyssey Ace is also full price.
All those expanded musou games and tecmo koei games on Vita.
Porterlands 2 port full price is justified?
All of those games don't have as much upgrade as Soul Sacrifice Delta.
Please go into describing those as much content since you seem to know a lot.

Probably a patch. I hit download only once.
why are you mad?
All expanded MH content was shit? Seriously ? the first MH on psp had content not seen outside of japan....
Did I say anything about justification? I listed a game that had a substantial amount of DLC content (which was my point). "porterlands" is soo cute btw.
Maybe you should explain the last line instead of coming off like a bitter fanboy.
and wtf at the "seem to know a lot". Yea you really got me listening to your unbiased opinion guy.
There is no way for improved graphics to be magically added into the vanilla game through DLC. Your examples are actually making your argument weaker.
sure, this I can understand. and while "improved graphics" is rather unclear I do agree engine improvements are not usually DLC updates.
so then the update is more than content (much like adding cross play to Rag Ace). then I can see an entirely new release being justified.
The PSN description describes it as the same game as the first (the ultimate version of that game), so it's easy to see why people like myself are confused at the price and available content:
By that, in comparison to upgrade of SS to SSD much bigger than your typical MH upgrades.
You said this about the justification " justifying their price for it. ". You wanted games in comparison that is on Vita because PSP games aren't good enough.

You can look at the price from two angles, those who've played it and those who haven't. For those who haven't, a digital only price of 36 is a bit steep as there is no possible resell value, and that definitely is cause for consideration. Content wise, I've heard there is a ton of it here, far beyond the vanilla. MH3U levels? That I can't say, but I paid full price for that "expansion" as I hadn't played it before. Got something like 85 hours out of it, and it didn't even have online capabilities. I suppose I'll get at least that plus more from this game...

It's been downloading for two straight hours now.
"much bigger" seems quite subjective especially with your bias towards MH games.
I was talking about justifying the reason for not having the content be delivered separately (which is why I was citing porterlands). I didn't give the graphics optimization much thought as it wasn't really covered in the PSN store description other than two words "improved graphics", but whether that justifies the prices comes down to individual preference. As I said in a previous post, I can see the engine improvements justifying a new release, but not a lack of physical release given the first SS vanilla had one (and it's a first party game).
the improved graphics have me curious enough to eat the cost and trade in SS for pennies. a physical version would make the risk much easier to deal with though.

Literally just started. I'm just going through the new character customization options right now, nothing too exciting.

I'd like to know this as well. Anyone with the game could verify if we can change voices without need for region-specific DLC?
Alright, dont drop the ball, we are counting on you

Damn it, it looks $36 is the price for the foreseeable future. Oh well, guess I'm in.
Feel free to add me on PSN, ID is the same as my GAF handle.

Amy confirmation on voice chat?
it was working on the original only with party chat, my guess is its still the same, we need Zero to confirm
Because I'm bias, I'll let people here who bought themselves speak for it.
Complete the grim fraction story.

As a guy who hasn't played much of Soul Sacrifice, should I get Delta or just play the first one?
MOAAARR please

Hot damn, this is going to be like the blind leading the blind, can't wait to play!
So how do you transfer data over? Do you have to have the original game installed and then boot up delta?
Yeah, it asks you if you want to import a save when you hit new game.
Good thing i have an 8 gig.

Wow, I thought at most it might be $30. Was really hoping for a pleasant surprise in regards to pricing. $36? Get the hell out of here.
