anyone know if this game is full of missables and stuff? (especially anything important like characters)
I'm trying to figure out if this is a good commute game or if I really need to sit around with a guide

As for reviews, Jeremy Parish bought a copy, so we might get one from USGamer. He reviewed Brandish, after all.

Cannot wait to download my digital copy and start playing this weekend. I have one of the original OLED VITA models so I guess I am in for quite the treat. Not even going to unwrap my physical copy. Just gonna slap that sucker on the shelf and stare at the greatness that is Gaijinworks doing the good deed for their fans.

Mine worked~
It's decent, but still has a weird dottiness blown up to a big screen. None of that on the PSVita though. Looks really nice on it.
There's been quite a bit of interest from reviewers in this title. WAY easier to get review commitments than Class of Heroes. About 25 reviewers have signed on, about half of which are recognized by Metacritic.

Yes! Hence the reduced price of $30.99.
Is the discount for a limited time only?
14 endings and lots of hidden characters mean if you want to see it all, it will require multiple playthroughs, so it probably works both as a commute and a guide game, switching it up on successive plays.
No, that's the price the fans chose with the retweet promotion, so the regular price is $30.99 instead of $34.99.

Does this game have a lot of missables? Is it one of those "play with a guide" games?

I guess he did, not sure how I missed that.vic just answered that for me above

thanks vic!
I forgot to mention (though it's implied) that new game plus brings forward some of the stuff from a completed game, so you can keep building your stable of stuff through successive playthroughs when you go for more (or even all) the endings. Personally, I like the melancholy of the karma (bad) ending best. But I'm a sucker for a melancholy ending.

Wicked thanks.
Class of Heroes 3 (unless you are talking about next unannounced game).
You win! Yes, that's the next one. It's actually pretty far along. Once we get the physical SN5 out the door we can ramp up the media released on that leading up to release, hopefully in 1Q 2016.
Hopefully we get enough support with SN5 to be able to do SN6!
Depends on how much time you play per day. It's a pretty good 30-40 hours, at least, on Normal, one time through, only doing the 28 game event battles and not all the side training, etc missions in the Eucross.

Rolling with Arca and Spinel.
Spinel because I chose at random and Arca because I didn't want to bother sounding out "Folth" in my head for 40 hours.

Abert's the one that gave me mental issues initially. I kept mentally inserting an "L" in to his name because it seemed like it should be "Albert." Eventually, Abert stuck, though.
I... Literally didn't notice there was no L in his name until just now. And I can't go back.
Why!?
Oh, and as a reminder, if you want to see the Japanese opening instead of the English, press and hold triangle before the opening animation loads. It's easiest to do when booting (because you can just hold triangle through the opening splash screens), but you can do it when the title screen cycles to the animation if you time it just right.

everyone is sad
The mainline games (like SN5) are SRPG. The gaidens like Swordcraft stories are not.

Man this game is so pretty and the character designs are so good. Chose Arca and got paired with Spinel, I'm happy with that. I never really like those "pick a random thing" choices but it worked out fine here.
I watched both openings and I prefer the English one, really great work.

Let's get it!
I love quoting that kid from Super8, saying that it has "production value" on the screen. Summon Night 5 really is bursting with production value. It's all over the game.

Completely different. The GBA games are action RPG spinoffs, while this is a pretty traditional SRPG.

I *hate* the mandatory, unskippable, splash screen parade from so many games and didn't want to make the one in SN5 any longer. We couldn't combine them or I would have done like we did for CoH2/2G. Putting the needs of the many ahead of the one.
But I did have some fun with the anti-piracy screen.

Even better, I'll throw in a non-folded gloss-printed version of one of the pack-in posters from SN5 to the winner.
We had some printed on thicker, glossier paper for giveaways because we couldn't fold the glossy ones as it would risk paper cracking since the folds are pretty tight to get a big poster in a small box.

How long is this? Always need more SRPGs.

Yeah you did, I loved that when I saw it, haha.
One playthrough, doing almost none of the 40 side and training missions, and only having one main character/cross, is easily 30-40 hours. There are 14 potential endings and it has a new game plus, so if you want everything, it's in the 100 hour plus range.
Codes were done by the early AM, so your email provider either put it in spam and you didn't see it, or deleted it and didn't tell you (Hotmail, live.com, outlook.com, and yahoo randomly do this). Was your order using one of those email providers?
I used Yahoo mail and sadly it got thrown into the Spam folder! Got the code which I'll not be using for now as I still have the "ancient" PSP-3000 and currently busy with work.
As long as you mark it "not spam" it will help them not to do that to other users that haven't migrated from yahoo to gmail yet.
