Beat the Channel dungeon. I thought it was gonna throw me for a loop with multi-tier lever puzzles, but no, this was much simpler. It's still a step-up from the Rolent Sewers for a starter/refresh dungeon though. Fighting
was simple too, but holy shit that boss music is awesome! Only burden was how long the lever transitions took (which might be where I got the idea of a red herring or more complex puzzles), as it was a fun start otherwise. Le Locle is cool, and I already know I'll be returning for the other dungeons if the story doesn't send me to 'em first.
Prologue is excellent, though it's obviously buffering the meaty stuff until later in the game. The return home was sad. Kevin is hilarious and a real good 'ol boy, so that's something at least.

Downloaded and installed. Finally I can play it 
Yeah, that's when you're meant to get them. You have the discussion about the new model combat orbments, he gives you sepith, then he goes 'Oh, yeah, and these are for you Estelle' and you get the items (Glove Gear, Celestial Balm, Emergency Puppet, Luck quartz) you're meant to for a full BP run.
Is anyone else having problems with this? Just started up a new save on the English version to check, 368BP file carried over from English FC, nothing carried over from SC and I'm getting the rewards just fine.
Oh, in that case, I got all of those items. My save file must work for that then. I thought you got another weapon.
There's one in the OP, isn't there? As for applying it, courtesy of SpaceDrake on twitter:
1) Create the [username]/Saved Games/FALCOM/ED6 folder.
2) Move the save files in question into this folder.
3) Start a New Game like normal. You will be prompted to choose a save.
Airport WiFi has failed me, I'll be without SC this flight ;_;
Oh, are the hard modes unlocked from the start? That's great.
...Don't mind me. I'm stupid. I apparently accidentally hit cancel instead of confirm when loading the save. The game doesn't give a warning that you're continuing without loading a save or anything so I didn't realize. Carry on. (._. )

Now you've got me worried that I did the same.
Ah, should have checked the OP a little better. Thanks a lot!

As a little note and the world's tiniest "spoiler": if you want to get all the treasure from the Le Locle dungeons, get it all before the chapter's (obvious) endpoint. You don't return to Le Locle after the prologue chapter.
The return home is one of the neater and more human sequences I've seen in an RPG.
You've got Estelle who's willingly lying to herself about the situation until she just can't any more, and you've got Kevin who was just hitting on Estelle until he realized she really needed help and someone there for her. And you also have Cassius making the first truly bad emotional judgment of the game, and Estelle throwing how bad it is in his face - and then when they get home, they talk it out and are stronger for it.
You'll find out pretty quickly, at least. When you're in the first dungeon area, check if you've got a Luck quartz. If you don't have one, you didn't carry over your complete save properly. It'll only take...5 mins to get back there skipping the text, at least.

If Kurt doesn't give you some extra goodies after providing you with the updated tactical orbments, You Done Fucked Up.
I need this too. Don't want to miss out on Gambler Jack's adventures.

Not yet. The despair is real.
I can't even concentrate on anything else aside from refreshing the store.
I bought this on steam, now I can finally start playing the first game without any anxiety of being left with a cliffhanger and no sequel
There is a third chapter...
I'll give it a little longer. But too long and I'm grabbing on PC.
The original intended story is complete with SC. The 3rd is leading to new games, namely it seems Zero/Ao.

So the only guide for this game in English isn't complete? ugh I really don't want to play much of this till a 100% guide is out for quests and missables

if you plan on alt-tabbing a lot, play in borderless windowed fullscreen. It shouldn't really have any performance impact on a modern machine.
Trails The 3rd is damn near an expansion pack (if one with a lot of worldbuilding that does some additional set-up for Cold Steel and Zero/Azure). The main plot wraps up conclusively in SC.
As for the PSN updates... can't help you guys.
That's all on Sony. It absolutely should be out sometime today, though.ColossalLazy

Well got my first crash. Just after arriving in Rolent in the prologue.
Where do I send the crash dump file for XSeed to check?
btw I am already liking Kevin

I just wish someone would come out and tell us when it is going to be put up on the store. All of this waiting and constant refreshing is killing me.

It's not even late yet by Sony standards.

Sadly SCEA can't keep to a consistent release time, let alone announcing specific times in advance. Be happy they're putting it up today instead of making it wait to Tuesday with the normal store update.
Kevin is amazing and is one of the many reasons why 3rd is my favorite game (he is the main character of that game).

Does anybody know if the game has a story recap at the start or do I need to hunt one down online?
It doesn't. It literally just throws you right in there the day after FC ended.

Hopefully you like English Kevin. He was a challenge at some points (when someone's "accent" is comedy, that's always a challenge), but I did keep hearing from others that he turned out especially well.
Thank you, Sara. I appreciate how much damn work you've put into this stuff, seriously. It really must have been even more of a nightmare than the blogs paint.
And I'm looking forward to reading it. Having worked on the art side of things myself and together with game programmers wrestling with making a shitty, broken version of PhyreEngine create a title that has tons of permissions problems running off of a network workable on a PS4, I am very aware of just how much of a pain in the ass this kind of stuff can be.
Are they? It's getting to the point where I really don't think they will update today.
