someone do a PSA in the thread when the game is up on PSN please

 

[wilflare]

missed this OT - nice work!
hope the Store updates.... on time... GCT :/

 

[Protag]

This really feels like a classic Tales, and this is me coming of of Xillia 2 unfinished (because of the structure of gameplay in Xillia 2)

This is such a return to form for me, and i feel right at home.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Just picked mine up from GameStop! But my Vita's battery is dead...so no playing for me until I get home!

 

[Kasumin]

Getting this for my nonexistent Vita

Spoiler

This!

Any word on the install size? I have 2GB free on my 32gb card and i only want P4G in my card slot.

Well that's great because of distracted driving and all..

 

[khaaan]

I actually wasn't all that upset at the opening song being changed since I tended to prefer the English openings in the past (Symphonia, Dawn of the New World, Legendia) and the opening for Hearts R started off pretty great but as it went on it sort of lost its appeal for me and didn't feel like it went well with the video.

Still pretty okay with it though.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I wasn't going to play while driving!

Spoiler

alright maybe I was going to watch the opening video

 

[Animekatt]

Just came home with my copy. Now to dig in.

And bought. Won't get a chance to play it tonight but hopefully I can download it before I fall asleep. I hate having 12 hour school days

 

[AkelisRain]

Just picked mine up from Gamestop. Got lucky,had $10 off coupon and $5 reserve from a promotion. Paid leSS then $27.

 

[rjc571]

I had no idea this was coming out. Are battles 30 fps or 60? I need my Tales games to be 60 fps in battle.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Ugh, still 45 minutes before EBGames opens. This waiting sucks.

 

[Acquiescence]

I'm gonna get this at some point during Christmas, those reviews have convinced me. It'll be my first 'Tales of', so I hope it serves as a good introduction.

[Bladenic]

Downloading yay. Will the costume Code be sent to my email?

Edit: never mind it downloads the costumes right away

 

[namDa65]

Tales of Hearts R Digital Limited Edition Bundle $39.99

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Gamestop folks, did you get DLC codes? If so, where? I picked it up this morning, but the case literally contains nothing but the game itself, so I'm wondering how the hell I get the costumes.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

It should be on the bottom of your receipt if you bought at GStop.

 

[oni_saru]

Are the pre-order costumes dlc exclusive to pre-ordering it at Gamestop or are Bandai shop pre-orders covered?

Hey the fact that they need more shipment means it's doing better than expected right?

 

[Matt Attack]

Got my copy! It was scary because they couldn't find it at first, but they found the box it was in in the back. I'll be starting very soon!

 

[Cheska]

Woo! My pick up is ready. Was initially going to skip out on this in favor of AC Unity but after all the negativity surrounding that I'm reverting back to Hearts!

 

[Yasumi]

I'll probably get my copy tomorrow because Purolator is being butts, but I'm downloading the costumes right now.

 

[Hikami]

Ah damn, seems like my order from the Bamco store got delayed to the 18th after all.
Don't mind I guess, I'd love to read some GAF impressions then to see what I'm getting into.

 

[JumpJeff84]

If impressions are good I may buy this. I've been thinking of playing a Tales game (I've only messed around with the Gamecube one) and I love playing anything on my Vita.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Bandai Namco seems to have the preorder DLC on the store page.

 

[Cheska]

Another thing to keep in mind is if we run into another Xenoblade fiasco with physical copies being exclusive to two stores only

 

[Sithlord77]

Does this work on PS TV?

 

[Cheska]

Does this work on PS TV?

Yes, it even says so on the box.

From the sounds of it, yes, but need to spread teh word to support #jrpgvita!

It's on the receipt just above the survey info.

 

[Kikarian]

The 14th needs to hurry up!

 

[Protag]

So hisui doesnt have a costume dlc?

Party guard is such a briilisnt addition

 

[Ryuukan]

Still don't see any additional DLC up, waiting for day 1 freebies

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I assume there will be plenty of DLC later. There always is with Tales

 

[khaaan]

I'm going to ask a dumb question, feel free to laugh at me.

Does anything resembling a manual or even an advertisement come with the physical version? Even a leaf of paper advertising Namco-Bandai's other games?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Nope. Almost all Vita games lacks any manual/advertisements in the boxes.

 

[baekshi]

Nope. Almost all Vita games lacks any manual/advertisements in the boxes.

Like every recent game that isnt on Nintendo platforms.

Manual is digital.

 

[Cornbread78]

I updated the review thread OP and the game is currently at a 79 Meta score, which is better than expected! Hopefully sales follow suit and it sells well so we can get more titles localized, like another Tales games on VITA only in Japan...

 

[khaaan]

Yeah, I assumed so. I've only bought two physical Vita games and only one of them (Sly Cooper Collection) had a slip of paper with a DLC code for the third game + I think advertisement for God Of War collection on the back. It had a reversible cover too...probably the fanciest Vita physical release unless we count special editions.

 

[Pics_nao]

He and Cal both have but they aren't with the bonuses for whatever reason.

 

[e_i]

I'm really liking it so far. Although Hsui is annoying the fuck out of me

Spoiler

Stupid over protective onii-san.

I love it when Kohaku kicks the living the shit out of him.

 

[Shinriji]

Bought to put the money where my mouth is. Didn't receive it today

#JRPGVITA never forget.

Reposting from the other thread:

Pretty dumb of them to not even use the already existing unused opening instrumental and replaced it with something even more generic.
