Any benefits in using them instead of the potential waifus?

I guess leveling in offline mp is way better with more people... kinda weird.

helps the boss raids since am pretty sure the npcs that appear in those are taken from the highest lv npc characters

well not that hard to understand more characters = less downtime = more dead enemies = exp
Oh I see. I think I've read somewhere that you can raise the difficulty in NG+ so I'm curious to see if it will actually be needed to help out some of those NPCs to progress through the floors. Wouldn't mind to see that actually.

basically helping them out is more to raise levels to some sore of bare minimum as there still is usually the suggest point value of overall battle strength.
just hanging around them and attacking the same targets will help give them exp too even if you killed the target. do believe for them to get exp that they actually need to be in combat first and not just targeting something and moving towards it.

Except the fact that they established that Kirito can only bring one person.

if you understood the game system you would know why its just a partner instead of party

I'm trying to turn in The Sweetness Challenge quest and the NPC tells me that my inventory is full yet I only have 74/200 in the Item menu.
Please help.
Also, the Wedding Dress seriously costs 3,000,000?! O_O

Thanks! The quest was giving me 8 SP Hi-Potions and I had 6 in my inventory.
I assumed the DLC items would be free, but it won't be a problem. I should sell the weapons I put in storage. >_>

as far as i know there are no penalties at all, only rewards (cg unlocks, trophies, better girl customization etc.)
well not that hard to understand more characters = less downtime = more dead enemies = exp
and deaths in MP do not reset progress to last checkpoints
edit: heads up for anyone going for the trophies
- keep all last attacking bonus items, do not give/sell them to anyone
- have relationship with Strea maxed before floor 90
- do hollow area and all hollow events before floor 90 (hollow area story is the azure exclamation mark in the events tab found in the small menu you open by pressing square, hollow events are pink exclamation marks that lead you to areas in the hollow map. you need to be solo and in singleplayer for those to trigger).
For me, the "dating" stuff makes it easier to unlock the different battle outfits for the girls. Once you have a particular girl at rank 5 you get the option to tell her, via the battle conversation, that she is "off track" which will reset her Atk, Def and Buf parameters to their default values.
I tried this out with Asuna last night and was able to get her Buff costume unlocked from her default parameter in the time that it took me to do floor 78 without a lot of hassle. It's worth noting that the unlocked outfits DO have stat bonuses although we can't see them until we get the patch later this month.
Ohhh nice... wonder what the costumes are?
it's the white swimsuit and the nighty shirt thingy
So if I beat a NM monster I should exit and re-enter to futher explore and not risk having to beat it again if I die in that same area?

Yes. Though in the hollow area NMs will repop anyways, so the whole point of it is to save your progress / any loot found.
So many downloads in this... Swords, Bosses, Costumes, Dungeons... why do they make it so I have to click download on them one at a time?! There are 20 or so items to download!
Parakeetman

Yep thats always been a pain in the ass problem with PSN no real sorting / batch downloading.

Where can I get the swords? Somebody said Liz shop but it shows nothing there.
Also, it would be nice to see what I've downloaded and what I'm missing, sigh.

DLC Swords from today's DLC? They all showed as "Treasure Chest: Weapon Name". I have no idea where the chests are that they are in though...
Now a question I have. Just noticed the fortune teller in the alley in the shopping district. I was with Asuna so she offered to tell our fortune. She ended up giving me 500 col and we got a Crit Up bonus. Did we both get the bonus, is it temporary? I hadn't heard about her before.
You can do a batch download:
Buy the dlc then go back to the page and click "Download to your PS Vita".

Or straight on the Vita store.
Yeah, not showing via search here too.
On the Vita store, go All > PS Vita Games > P-S > SAO. Both DLCs will show up.
So weird, thank you

You have to use them as items. Go to your inventory and go to the DLC tab.

Odd, I have always tried the Download to Vita button after the confirm page on SEN and it never does anything. Is the product page's "Download to your PS Vita" different? Either way, on a relatively quick connection it doesn't take long in the slightest, I am more concerned that I will accidentally skip on of the downloads and not realize it!
Thanks! There they are.
ah, but in Aincrad , NMs don't repop right? since usually they are part of the boss fight pre-requisite
Don't sell the Boss drop items if you want the trophy at the end.

Yeah, you can sell those; any quest items are labeled.
I need this in my life. Preorder link?
Parakeetman

no they should repop too after a period of time. the only one that doesnt should be the floor boss.
there really isnt any reason to go after them more than once though as it is not like they drop col like they used to with the psp version. since now money is made by selling items farmed from the hollow area.

pre-orders open up tomorrow it seems
http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2014/09/03/nendoroid-sinon/
....if i had some money i would buy ALL those nendoroids lol...
yup, looks it's all the Asian DLCs so far for the game
Doesn't seem to include the GGO DLC that recently came out though, still this is a bunch of stuff to get at once haha...
wait, there is a GGO DLC? lol hoping that the next SAO game will be based on it
Yep, includes both Kirito's and Sinon's avatars from GGO and Kirito's beam sword.
