Not to derail the thread any further, but the J in JRPG stands for Japanese. By definition, JRPG as a genre name is region-bound. If we are using JRPG to describe games that are not Japanese in origin, I think we need a new name.

It's probably
loot on the hobo in that sub basement of the ship. If I am recalling correctly, the log-creator says he looted it and that it wasn't of any use to him. I am likely assuming too much that the audiologs were created by that hobo. Either way, the locked container has already been looted.
Not really, it's shorthand to narrow down a style of rpg with a very specific kind of combat / trappings. It's instantly recognizable to most RPG fans (and non-pedants).

I'm so old, I still think of "real" RPGs as being something closer to tabletop campaigns where you make a unique character and have no real defined plot, and the majority of everything else is just various flavors of Dragon Warrior 
Sounds a bit cumbersome, I think I'll just keep playing Shadowrun until the official EU release date then.
Did you get the one that's inside of a building?
It was a while ago i started it and found the 5 pretty easy, cant remember where I found them originally but im currently hopping in every house/store.

I prefer turn-based RPG, but it doesn't bother me either way. Nor should it bother anyone else, its silly.
Well it's not like i bought the gimped version on purpose
I usually buy from GMG to circumvent the german steam store, but i guess i'll have to look into nuuvem.
Man, i'm totally bummed now
GMG is kinda random. As a German I get sometimes the UK and sometimes the German version.

Anyone else have corrupted data when you download the bonus content via the code inside the box?

I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but I find the PS3's version audio settings to be wild and wacky. I'm on a phat PS3 and South park only seems to output in either Dolby Digital or DTS, and not LPCM. To make matters worse, if the PS3 is configured to be able to output both DD and DTS, the game defaults to DD. I'd rather have the higher bitrate DTS any day of the week, so why not let me select this option in-game? And, above and beyond all of that, why doesn't the game just output in LPCM?!
I did. I deleted the game data from the PS3 dashboard and re-downloaded the content. This fixed the matter.
So, I've decided I want to try the game right now. However, if I try to put it in my cart at Nuuvem I get a message telling me that "This product is not available for purchase in your region". I guess I need to purchase it via VPN/proxy as well? This is rather ridiculous. What's the best (free) option in terms of VPN/proxy?
"Turn-based" doesn't describe the same chunk of the whole RPG pie as "JRPG". Just as an example, Might and Magic X is turn-based but in no way is it a JRPG. But really, we shouldn't derail this thread with another instance of that discussion.
That might be the one. I'm pretty sure found that one in one of the buildings that requires you to find a key in order to enter it.

Wearing sorcerer's costume with butters as your companion breaks the game. Enemies never attack you so butters dies constantly and even when dead they attack his corpse instead of you.

I just bought it from Nuuvem without VPN. Can you enter the region on the site?
EDIT: Also, what and when is the first region it releases on PC?

is it even really worth it? is the content that much better? I just started a vanilla no dlc game rather than even mess with it.

I noticed that too. I thought it was an issue with the settings at first but everything was the same. Very strange. I saw dts on the back of the box and was wondering why it wouldn't even output that.

This game is surprisingly addictive. Just exploring the town and finding collectables and items really works for me. I also love all the dialog and TV chatter you hear throughout the world. I cannot wait until I can get off work and play some more. Consider this one of the biggest surprises of the year so far.
I did have an issue (PS3 version) where after I patched the game it kept telling me my game data was corrupt and I had to delete the game cache and reinstall it.

Where are you located? Maybe it's because I'm in Austria. It sucks.

Just finished it, got everything done apart from collecting every piece of equipment.
What a surprisingly good game, it really was an interactive 8 hour+ south park episode, and one of the good ones at that.
Think I might miss my dude, The engine and tech in the game would be well suited to a F2P MMO.
Just open it up a little more, add in a much bigger level curve + loot table and you're set. It would be a great platform for a delivery of south park humour through dlc packs/levels/dungeons

Sweden here, perhaps Austria suffers from the same region lock as Germany.
Otherwise you can try Tunnelbear or Hola add on for Chrome.
Yeah that part was great.
Well, i guess i learned that the hard way. Where were you two hours ago, man? ಠ_ಠ

For me the only hard boss fight was
, I had to actually plan out a method of attack,
As a thief it was a lot of
Al Gore
I went with using Jimmy to keep the secret service asleep every round with his debuff song, and then using bleeding stacks + "extra damage to bleeding" patches and perks to focus down gore who is the main threat.
power chord powerups then backstabbing.

all the Mario RPGs except partners in time are worth playing.

I've never played it myself, but it seems a lot of people have been comparing the combat system to Paper Mario.
100% agree.

This happened to me when I downloaded the DLC key before installing the game data. What I did was delete the install data, install the game, and then download the DLC key again.

(Clearly it's still very early, but) Has anyone put together a guide yet on trophies/achievements to keep an eye out for? I'm hesitant to look through the list as I don't want to spoil myself on jokes/references I haven't encountered yet, but as I kind of want to 100% this I'm worried I'm blowing past stuff that would require a second playthrough to get again.

Think I put in a good 8hrs and I feel like I'm in the middle point.
What partner is everybody mostly using in battle's? I've been using
ever since I got him. His fire attack is really good against crowds, but he dies pretty quickly.
is one of my favorite characters, but he's not so great in combat.

Like others mentioned, the Mario RPGs are great. The most recommended are Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Mario And Luigi: Super Star Saga and finally Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
Completed the game mostly though I still have to finish a few side quests.
Fun game, enjoyed it a lot
Some moments that made me laugh out loud:
Also made me sad that some stuff we saw in trailers was either changed or didn't make it in (ie the Nagasaki with Randy bit which had a trailer all to itself).
