what lvl was that boss?
Did you guys have npcs that filled the other roles, or do the roles actually matter?
If it's like the ad-hoc MP of the original version, the other area is one big training ground with lots of monsters + treasure chests.

Like 150, the host had some end game gear so he was pretty much killing everything in seconds..
The difficulty was set to Hard too.
If by roles you mean "attacker, defender, buffer etc." They only affect your player's stats, like you get more defense if you select a role and such.
Doesn't really matter for the NPCs, I don't think we could even get an NPC to fill up another slot. The only NPCs there were our partners.
Yeah, that area has it own missions I meant. Most of the high level 200+ ones take place there it seems.
Really? I don't remember missions in the original in that hidden area place unless it's new. High level missions don't surprise me though.
It's a great grinding spot though
in the original, I used it to level up some of the level 60 - 80 folk.To be fair, they are both very different games anyway.
so playing one won't tell you if you'll like the other To be fair, they are both very different games anyway.
True but I have been having bad luck with games recently lol. Bought dragon age inquisition didn't enjoy it. Got witcher 3, it gave me headache. Gtta me conservative with money lol.

The wiki says Infinity Moment is part of Hollow Fragment and if I pre-order Lost Song I get Hollow Fragment, so if I preorder Lost Song I end up with all three games?
So are the Hollow Areas something you should do once you finish the main game or something since they weren't in the original?

Finally home from work, started downloading the game. I'm almost there GAF, I can feel Aincrad in my veins again.
You can begin the download via the webstore so next you don't even have to wait till you get home to start the download

so, the whole customizable avatar thing is pretty fucking pointless

It's up to you really
I did the Hollow Area first because you get to use Phillia in Aincrad once you finish it. You miss some events in Aincrad as well if you go past a certain floor and you haven't finished the Hollow Area yet. I think jumping between both is the best way to go about it. You'll be too low leveled for the Hollow Area at the beginning so you should clear a few floors in Aincrad first then move on to the Hollow Area.

Wow I never knew that, thanks for the tip
Do it and complete it at any time BEFORE you finish the floor clearing stuff. You get a hidden boss who you can use in a new game afterwards

I wish it would save a bit faster. It saves pretty often. It loads quickly enough thanks to my hybrid drive but save times are still a pain.
Seems like its probably just like Freedom Wars, just to look unique while playing online.
Maybe this is like some joke reference to SAO II?

It continues from the point where the anime/light novel ends

Is this game solo friendly?
It's a primarily offline game with an MP component so yes?
If you have a PS4, a ton of people are streaming on Live From Playstation to watch for a bit and make a decision. That's what I've been doing.
EDIT: Which I believe are just Twitch/Ustream streams compiled there?
Oh forgot about live from playstation lol. I've had a PS4 for almost a year now, and really never used that feature.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Thanks for posting the pics
The formatting of the text looks weird though.

Sent you a FR. Let's play some co-op missions.
All that white space in the dialogue box and they only used 1/6 of it.

Is that a good thing?
I need to play my Vita version. That is so funny!
The newest patch didn't affect the unintentionally funny translations right?
I didn't get an option to change my hairstyle. Is it something that appears later?
Maybe but at least one of the biggest issues is mostly sorted. (though I admit the apostrophes will probably bother me a bit but I still really like the look of it more now)
Parakeetman

It looks seriously off with how large the spacing is.
So you go from careful management to skill spamming god? That'll make the game easier but totally ruins the balance that a lot of people loved in the Vita version. Lowers the skill level involved....
Also anyone's download start at 9.8GB then they look away and suddenly it says it only needs to download 3.570GB?
That's PlayGo
Lets you start playing the game before the install/download is complete. A lot of games support this

Is the translation redone from the official English Vita release or is it the same as that? There are two English versions on Vita, the Asian English version and the Western release. There was no penetration stuff in the latter. Those comparisons are comparing it to the Asian English version.
Got it. I was just confused as I've seen games show the smaller amount then start downloaded more but never seen them show the full amount then suddenly smaller.
