The Famitsu review said about 25 hours for single player. It's nowhere as fun or rewarding as multiplayer though. From my experience, the AI partners are only useful as ways to trigger sacrifice damage and let you try again after you die.

Soul Sacrifice |OT| Sacrifice your wallet to save the Vita

Thanks. I'm not really a co-op person, but if the 25-hour single player is accurate, I'm much more interested in getting this.
MP can get chaotic at times when multiple people are all rushing to sacrifice an enemy, but most people I've met online so far have been good with the unwritten "your kill = your sacrifice" rule.
You do have to share but not only do enemies respawn for sacrifices, but there are stage respawns for refilling your magic. Against Cerberus, it's tombs, of which I believe there's either 3 or 4, so everybody gets a chance to refill. I don't have the numbers on-hand but I believe he only gains 60-70% max HP per additional ally brought in, so if they pull their own weight, more is better.
I've heard about 1.8GB.

Can't wait. Freakin' loved the demo which was a surprise, since I've tried other games in this genre like Ragnarok Odyssey, Monster Hunter and Lord of Arcana and haven't enjoyed them in the slightest.

Holy shit -- demo total is over 30 hours played.
I somehow managed it solo but only got Cerberus SE.
Maybe my stats could shed some light:
Jack SE: 3 Jack SE+: 1
Cerberus SE: 6 Cerberus SE+: 1
Harpy SE: 2 Harpy SE+: 0
Mad Witch SE: 12 Mad Witch SE+: 1
Jack LE: 30 Jack LE+: 0
Cerberus LE: 3 Cerberus LE+: 0
Harpy LE: 13 Harpy LE+: 0
Mad Witch LE: 24 Mad Witch LE+: 4

I'm going to steal so many kills. LOL!
Press Start in the Sigil page
Same here, just from Orcs, though. Still trying to get the Jack O. L. SE+ to complete my blood salvo upgrade sigil.

That looks awesome. One day I will be as good as you at this game haha
is that Divine Arm III?
3* Ice Shield, 1* lv2 Golem, Blood, 3* Tri Ice, 3* Atk Boost Fruit, 3* Lightning Spear (that one you get from Cerberus)
Attack Boost Fruit? That's interesting. Would you say that it provides a noticeable attack boost or should I pair it with magic-boosting seals?

Have a long train ride Thursday. I'm going to install this demo. Any tips?
The outfit is a default, hoodless, but the color is unlocked by saving 100 total bosses with it equipped.
I haven't tested it! But I barely manage to kill him with what I have (probably due to being defense-oriented), so I need all the boost I can get. Definitely pair it with matching sigils though.

Do you know what the unlock condition for that one sigil I didn't know?
I have an 11/5 character now and it still hasn't shown...
Still no Cerberus SE+ either. :\
You have to have the particular outfit on for the 100 bosses? Ugh.
Is there an unlock prompt when you get it, like when you get new sigils?

If you don't mind used systems, you can probably find it pretty cheap. I personally don't like buying used systems, though.
Not a clue on Sigils, but I believe arms change every 5 levels. Not sure if it becomes IV at 15 or 16 though (15 above Sacrifice's 1, or 15 in general).
There is an unlock prompt, but only when you enter the character menu (appearence/sigils/spells/sacrifice).
The counter's apparently individual for every outfit, yes! To unlock the white/red version you'll need to save/sacrifice 100 bosses in that exact outfit you want to unlock it for.
Jack-O can be killed in 1 minute, using the golem + bleed trick.
Arm leveling:
I is 1 level difference
II is 5 level difference
III is 10 level difference
IV is 15 level difference
V is 90 level difference (first Chaos/Holy form)
VI is 98 level difference (ultimate Chaos/Holy form)
Forms do nothing by themselves, just a cool effect.
You are a man obsessed.

I do what I can...
Not sure these were in the OP, but here's some images of the pre-order bonus costumes:

His arm craves more sacrifices
Something like that -- I love the spellcrafting and since all my progress carries over, I have no problems continuing to sink time into it.
Current goal: Flip my leveling to 19:1 to see if I can get the last sigil to allow me to try to "craft" it while continuing to farm the Cerberus SE+.
I haven't figured out where I want my leveling to be before I start the full game. I'm thinking maybe I'll have to switch back to 1:19 again... though there is a need to get Life to 50 to unlock a particular black rite, I believe... might want to get that out of the way first, since I prefer to use the low health, high damage loadout and play more like an action game.

I didn't mess with the female character much so I didn't really look at the clothes. Are those new clothes or just a pure white color that can be used on any of them?
I'm wear'n the first costume without the hood in blue and it contrasts nicely with my red arm. Though I'm contemplating going to the Life side. It's interesting seeing different people who come in who have different combinations. I like laying down a heal circle when I can, but I also like running in with a melee weapon every now and then. It sucks cuz I like helping people AND running in and doing damage. lol
