Any way to look back at various dialogue scenes? I goofed and pressed the L button during some dialogue. I forgot how to take screenshots and was hoping to take a shot of mistranslation

I got game over-ed by that thing 3 times because Hallow Fragment waifu (can't recall the name) kept getting bopped by a random critical. So I gave up and finished the tutorial dungeon
Risk level 5=all attention on you, easier to draw monsters towards you/slow Burst gauge recharge, which is why you need to switch (down on dpad) with partner to throw the "Hate" off you.
Mostly bad. When your risk is at 5, your burst gauge recharges more slowly and you take more damage. This also applies to your enemies. Enemies risk break and take more damage.
On the other hand, it means that the enemies' focus is on you and not your partner. Your partner might not be able to take the enemies attack so keeping your risk high and not switching will keep them alive.
Watching the first 10 min of the YouTube first impression video, wow. The translation is bad to the point of distraction
I'm not very far in, but I haven't seen anything glaringly bad(Actually the dialogue is all coherent so far, I get the impression that'll change though).
Same here and I have been looking. So either it hits in a few spots farther on, or it isn't as bad. I have noticed one small missing punctuation error, and one grammar error. I need to stop looking for it though because I am having a blast doing everything else.
I love the little things that make this feel MMO-ish. The people out in the field that are also fighting, that occasionally need your help. It's great!
Yeah. Also hard to believe that mind=zero can get a proper dub and this can't.
Yeah, I know a lot of people prefer japenese with subs, but damn I hate it personally.

This is the first and likely last time I pay $40 for a digital game on release. I do this solely to invite more localizations of the franchise.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
best place to make cash is from the hollow area constantly raiding the boss protected chests then selling what you no longer need or want. stats are semi random as in preset multiple versions of the same weapon just with slightly different properties.
since chests take realworld time to respawn no idea how long find a route where you can hit multiple chests and sell the stuff to agil after.
whatever you do dont sell those rocks, pieces of ore as lisbeth uses them to upgrade weapons
I believe you may not have missed it yet. A bit more happens in town and then you get an option to 'Play Recap?' or something like that. That is what you are watching for.

Can I purchase teleport crystals anywhere? I'm hesitant to use them so far but I'd like to if they aren't rare or anything.
I'm not fussed about dubs, prefer Japanese voices anyway since I can understand most spoken Japanese. That said it blows my mind that niche duds like Mind Zero and Conception 2 got pretty great localizations (Considering) while this got treated so half heartedly as far as script translation is concerned even when it's a hugely popular property.
When a bigger company gets a smaller game, chances are they'll treat it badly. When a smaller company gets a smaller game, they just treat it the way they treat every other game.
Ah ok thanks. I figured they'd do it before showing the characters but that's good, it's been a while since I watched SAO.
Also, I don't think I'm ever going to get used to having the O and X swapped lol
Partner with Asuna.
You can access her inventory and use the teleport crystal she have over there.
It auto-refill (correct me if I'm wrong) everytime you go back to the central hub.
ALSO WARNING: Bandai Namco used a pivotal point of Hollow Fragment story arc in their launch trailer for Sword Art Online:HF.
AVOID IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED.

yeah no.
DId you finish talking when you got back to town? if not, keep doing it. You should auto go to the Inn, where there is talking and then the recap option followed by starting in the Inn where you can then look around Arc Sofia
edit: woops, I didn't realize I replied so late to this lol
is this true? :<

I wish there was an auto play for the spoken bits.

Thanks, I got to it. I just assumed it would be earlier for some reason haha. Loved hearing the OP from SAO again though. I like what I've played so far, although the combat will take some getting used to.

Haha, the talking bits still have one funny line.
I was talking to
then she said something like: "In between the penetrations..." and my character said I think "Indeed".
Oh boy, that's some deep conversation right there.

That was one of the more awesome surprising things for me when I first played SAOIM and loved that they kept it in HF.

Ok GAF you convinced me, just bought it. Haven't played my Vita in a while and I'm a fan of the anime and jrpg's, looking forward to it.
Is it really a grindfest with little plot? Also can someone point me to a review?

Sorry if I'm asking a dumb question, but there is really no pause button?
Souls series Hardcore mode confirmed.

dont recall one, then again just like souls never needed one. if you are on your vita cant you just put it into sleep mode as a pseudo pause? lol

That's what I was doing, using the sleep mode, but I guess no pause simulates the MMO feeling better.
If you love SAO I think it's pretty safe to say you will enjoy this.

its funny i never checked it considering i played on the psv tv most of the time.
Reviews in the op or just go and google for reviews for the game.
There is plenty of plot though, Also plenty of character events if you like them.

The Asuna jealousy in those cut scenes man...

its in the OP on the first page multiple reviews
but generally for the most part GAF that has been with the asian or jp version for a while now have been highly positive. thread wouldnt be this large otherwise lol
Or you can use the PS button...
Oh and I made a SAO theme for PSV last year, posted in the PSV wallpaper mega thread. If you guys want to use it:

I can change to icons if you want something different. Thought I didn't make a lockscreen.
Just press the PS button.

I don't have the game yet but couldn't you simply use the PS Home button as "Pause" without having to use the sleep-mode?
EDIT: Beaten by a bit

yeah its pretty much replacing the pause button in some cases.
