Yeah, it's kind of strange how they did it. Likely due to budget/time restraints as mentioned.
New Info:
80 kills required for Ace bonus now.
Bonus 100PP at 100 kills. More bonuses at 50 kill intervals after that.
1 stat point requires 15 Pilot Points.
A "custom bonus" when you upgrade up to 50%.
Kills by main do not transfer to the sub.
No buy-able SP Regen or Continuous Action/Movement (I guess since this is moved into the Tag commands).
Can someone confirm that you can take screenshots on the Vita ver?.
Dengeki review of the game is up.
And on the review, there's an image of Genion Cockpit:

It's very cool. Got a promo poster for my garage, too.
Kills not transferring to sub means subs kind of sucks. Rest is fine. I'm ok with them nerfing continuous movements and SP regen a bit.

You couldn't in Masoukishin III, which was a bit annoying. Here's to hoping you can in this one.
It's too bad you won't be able to set custom BGM for enemy units. The game really, really needs some https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He3erTGnbaQ

Today's the day!!
Not until 11 am...
Waiting in line...
Buy back prices were up before the stores were open. Hurry up and beat the game to get 5,600 yen!
Aww, nice little bag to go with the game.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
The voice over is really compressed!!!!!! It sounds really distorted! Everyone who wanted a physical copy I wish I could hate you to death! This is all your fault!
Just for reference it sounds worse than Z2 on psp. So yeah fuck all of you.
So yeah just ordered a PS3 copy from nippon-yasan. I'd imagine at least in that version the voices won't sound like absolute shit. Actually wait, I'll just download the PS3 copy.
You are all free to make fun of me when I find out that Banpresto just used $10 microphones to do their VO recordings.
Yeah no go on vita screenshots.
horrible. EVERYONE is bashing it on 2chan and Gamefaqs. I don't understand why Terada ditched Z2 layout, when it was already proven to work to perfection on Vita.
Looks like one of those fonts Bandai used back in the day when they put out trash like Sunrise Eiyuutan. Have you noticed how when you hit a critical the image gets distorted? XD it wasn't enough to write CRITICAL in giant letters, they had to deform the score and make it unreadable obscuring the entire mech in the process. Urgh!
ahahahaha "zenkoku no shionisto" XD. Priceless.
Looks awesome.
By the way. In the heat of the moment, I bought the game's Vita version (download edition). Is there a way to get a refund? I'll get the Vita anyway down the line but I'd rather keep the money and buy all the dlc first.

Fuck you, taxes. The PS3 version is ¥8,700 on PSN and I have 8,500 in my wallet.
Had to buy another points card.

Yeah, woke up to that news and was disappointed. I was shy... ~40 yen lol.
Anywho, downloading the game now but probably wont be able to play til I get back from class today. At 82% now so maybe I can sneak a stage in before I have to leave.
Nope, screenshots didn't work for me last night.
Which is total BS, makes sentence mining much more difficult.
I was expecting the static elements of the interface to be native on vita, and it looks like it varies. Need to get more time with the game, but some menus are super sharp but some overlays are not. It is a shame that there is no consistent standard for quality on a platform with such a nice display.
Caved in and bought it today. It's my first SRW game, but I'm surprised at how low res the maps/in-battle menu during cutscenes (the one with the skip/fast forward button) look.
Was expecting everything to be super sharp since it only came out on the Vita and PS3.

Ok, so my shipping tracking changed from shipping today to arriving tomorrow.
Apparently even though they shipped my package early yesterday, it didn't move at all until today.

The only upside to me not getting the Vita version is that it'll take me longer to go through the PS3 version, as I have to share the TV I play on. So I'll get my monies worth by not plowing through. Glass half full.

I'm a few chapters in and, yeah, I don't like how it looks at all. The sprite looks sharp but animation is really meh. Also I don't like the skinny robot design. I thought they already made it skinny enough in Z2 but now they look even more skinier.

ps3 or vita version?

As much as I adore Alpha 3, this was the hardest part to deal with.

It doesn't have to look like alpha though. Z1 looks much better than this. I understand they couldn't make Z2 to look comparable to Z1 because of hardware limitation but Z3 is on freaking PS3/Vita so there is really no excuse now.

Regarding 1, probably not as clearly the PS3 version doesn't give you the Vita version of SRW, here's what I got with my PS3 digital purchase:
Note that the bonus scenario スズネ出撃 is for both platforms though. With the Vita version being a very obvious unlock.

Same here. There's a clearance delay on mine 2-3 hours away from me.
If I don't get it tomorrow I'm going to activate my Sphere (the Impatient Importer) in rage.

Same happened here ,minus the November 2014 part, FedEx had me excited for nothing!
Well it's only a day so I'm okay with that.Yesterday I decided to watch Gunbuster to get ready for Z3 and I went in thinking I would like it and came out loving it. The ending in particular touched me a bit, gonna have to buy this one. Diebuster was pretty good, too. It was very different from the original with the Topless and all but overall I enjoyed it. Let's see if it will be in Z3.2!

I've seen all episodes when they released on PSN but sadly don't really remember much.
I do remember liking Unicorn, though.At a quick glance the lower reviews are just people upset that the game was essentially developed with the Vita as the lead and is an overall drop in production quality from OGS2. Mostly complaints about the 2D maps/units, downgrade in some animations/backgrounds, and the cutscenes being reduced to text box portraits again. Some are complaining about the DLC too, which there is admittedly a good amount of already.
If you've been watching the PVs or streams then it shouldn't be anything outside your expectations though.

wait what , I tought the text box portraits where something exclusive to the vita due to limitations :C

Lol, all that hope, crushed.
What limitations? Vita is no PSP.
Well, this looks like one of those times P-A fucked up >_<
Checked my tracking shipment and it's in Osaka, Japan right now. Uhmmm, in all my years of orders with P-A I've never had a Fedex shipment go from HK -> Japan -> CA. Normally goes HK->CA.
No idea when I'm getting my Z3, but somehow do not think I'll have it tomorrow morning by 11:30am like it says! Will have to figure out other ways to keep occupied this weekend while ignoring Z3 spoilerszz
