So I'm debating finally getting a Vita for this bad boy. Though I've heard mixed things on the game. Some say Monster Hunter, others say adventure. Trying to get a clearer picture on thisWhat say you all?
D/l the demo and try it out.

Yeah, that was a great suggestion, lol. What are your fears/consideration exactly? What do you WANT to play? Maybe we can clarify whether you will find that here or not.

After the 4th time it paused my download, I just put it into standby by hitting the button. Now it's not pausing it anymore.
I always get nice, fast speeds on downloads from the Vita though.
Me please.
EDIT: Technically not for me, but for the person I bought the second copy of Soul Sacrifice for. If Amazon does send me a second code for that copy, I'll give it up in this thread.

I think I like Librom's English VA better.

If you're familiar with Monster Hunter, it would be like a MH game where you don't run around the environment picking things up, mining cracks, farming items, ect. You don't have cats who cook for you. You don't have a farm you should go to after every single mission.
It's just right into the action, fighting the boss. It's a very streamlined experience, which some people love (like me) and some people might find less rewarding than MH. I really like MH but I have to admit that it's nice being able to just focus on the gameplay and not the tedium that surrounds it.

I love hack and slash. I never got into Monster Hunter due to those very things of creating, cooking, etc. I like fast action, levelingly up. The game looks like a visual winner for sure. Does it run smoothy? I would look videos up at work but network is bonkers at the moment.
Next time, if nothing else, make a new amazon account and use a prime trial. Free release day shipping.
..but you'd still need to wait until 5PM to get it
yes, it runs smoothly for me

I'd hate to steer you the wrong way, but it does sound like you might like this game. It has fast action and the grinding you do is to level up your spells, or to level up your arm's abilities and get new ones.
The online takes a very, very slight hit in framerate, but there is no discernible lag whatsoever. The rest of the game appears to be at a locked framerate. I played adhoc with my brother and when you play adhoc, there is no multiplayer framerate hit.

Game is super smooth and looks/sounds great.
I'm not a Monster Hunter player, just could not get into it. SS doesn't feel like Monster Hunter to me. It's definitely more face paced and can get intense. I'm not one for stat tracking and managing little details of every aspect of my character, but for some reason, it doesn't feel like I'm doing it with SS. Yes you manage leveling of your offerings as well as the Sigil's, but it's somewhat straightforward once you figure out what's going on.

Are the Japanese voices worth the 500 mb download or whatever it is? About to go pick up my copy from gamestop.

So I ended up
...
That is actually really cool.
saving too many monsters and got an assassin sent from Avalon to kill me. Once I beat him I sacrificed him and a new mission came up, with the monster being the assassin I sacrificed and is actually given a full backstory up to the part where I killed him
That is actually really cool.

Just got the game on the PSN. Do we have to buy the online pass as well? I thought the game would come with it.
Online Pass is definitely free with PSN versions. It's only sold for people who buy the retail game used.
While I wasn't warming up to the reversible color, I'm using it. Just because the Online Pass inside uses the same artwork, for variety..I'm never going to be able to center it correctly..

..I'm never going to be able to center it correctly..It takes up 546MB of space. 30 minutes seems about right.

Looks like the feather DLC from that e-mail works now. Didn't get the e-mail, but a generous benefactor sent me a code on Twitter.
500MB, so yeah.
Dang. I guess my speeds must be good because I got that in like e minutes and the game in about 15.
And tough it out to lvl 6. By then you'll love the game.

Wondering the same thing. I skipped retail because I heard the PSN version had the preorder goodies for a limited time.
And from PSN? Do I need to dl the language pack to get any other preorder bonusses? And can we delete the language pack again?
My VA pack says 5 minutes. You know, after resetting my Vita 3 times due to that download starting bug..
Had to do the exact same thing...
