There will be a patch that'll likely enable PSTV compatibility today.
That's all I need to know. Thank you.
Glad I didn't grab that version lol. I'm playing it now so I'd have been disappointed.
First review up by Hardcoregamer.com
Looks they enjoyed the game immensely, even stating it's the best JRPG of the year. And honestly I agree, not that there were much competition anyway. I hope the reviews and the word of mouth will make this game a financial success to warrant XSEED to localize the other games.

They must've marathoned the game, I'm still halfway through the game despite playing five hours a day.

I pre-ordered the Vita LE from Amazon and supposedly it has shipped, but it was delayed with the carrier. If you are that worried about it, Best Buy still has copies available.
I don't think the game is all that long if you just run through the essential quests, but that wouldn't be any fun.
That's a relief to hear. Most special editions come with some really cheap cardboard, forcing me to do in-store pickups.
Aw, thought it would be supported out of the box.
An instant patch is the next best thing, but still a little disappointing just to know. I never will understand why PSTV works the way it does. Should be blacklisting applications and games known not to work, not whitelisting the ones that do. I'm sure there's plenty of technical details that are just beyond me.
On the other hand, this game has some of the most blah sidequests in the series in my opinion, so I'd say that people who are going for 100% should pace themselves.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm pretty excited after reading about how there are so many characters and even the lesser ones get a ton of time to have their stories told. That sounds awesome. I'm suddenly hyped for this like crazy, and it was off my radar altogether just a couple of days ago.
Thanks for getting word out, GAF!

It's super weird how the review never acknowledges TitS SC was localized this year. I mean, it's great to mention all these JRPGs, but it's strange to never really make a Sky comparison.

It's all up to Sony, there isn't a specific magic the publisher or the developer needs to work on most of the time.
Read the review above. Anywhere from 40-60 hours for story, way longer for Platinum.

Whats the situation on hidden stuff and missables in this game?
I messed up Max BP and probably missed good chunks of dialog since I have no intentino of replaying any of them
same deal here or is it a bit more lenient?
I did almost everything in the game (I missed TWO POINTS asfdkasdf) and it took me 50:47:44 according to my save.
Damn...

I've already decided to have Elliot in my party as much as possible.
Unless he's shit, in which case I'll have to form a new plan.
It's more lenient than SC (pretty much everything is), but you have larger margin to miss AP. Still, if you're aiming for rank A1, which I recommend if only for the bonus item in Cold Steel II, keep an eye on a FAQ.
Interactions I'm really fond of are between Jusis and Millium. There's just something entertaining about little girls throwing wrenches into the life of arrogant guys like Jusis.
Talking to every NPC does that to you.

Yup they couldnt have picked a better person to do these write ups and work on the game
Talk about Passion! Thanks Brittany
Im glad that Falcom and Xseed are taking global markets more seriously!

Yeah
I had the same problem in the very beginning... I tell ya what though. Once I toughed it out and got out of the first town its has been a damn whirlwind rollercoaster that dragged me through both games
You gotta best that hurdle... It helps when the combat options and expand and battles become more fun. Also thats when you start getting more and more gear, better story beats... everything starts clicking to keep you addicted lol
It's pretty much the same pacing, but more rigidly structured. It's the only way they could guide you through the massive Empire.
Awesome this is going to be my first game in the series this is making the wait for the mailman even harder!
Y'think? I thought they were really bland.

The art style is pretty nice and I happen to have a fetish for grumpy glasses guys. All the main character designs seem to stick pretty rigidly to the basic archetypes, but I think it works kinda well with the artwork?
The artwork makes them a lot more interesting compared to their sprites.
There's a livestream going on now for anyone who wants a peek before biting the hook: http://www.twitch.tv/excelsiorvindi
Yes, the game uses the archetypes as its point of departure but goes in interesting ways from that point onward. I recommend to just sit back and enjoy the ride before it's suddenly over.

It's a pretty long ride, what with two more games after this one.

Oh geez
I hope there is a DLC bundle option that gives me everything
ewww most of it is cheat code microtransations
Just give me the costume bundle and leave me alone
That's disappointing. Trails in the Sky was more a pain to 100% due to a lot of easily missed stuff or decisions easy to mess up (I noticed I was missing 3 BP in SC, and that can traced all the way back to... The prologue, and I think it was the wrong answer after a "major" event) but the side quests were almost always engaging. If this is flatter events or worse MMO-esque fetch quests then I definitely will be inclined to phone the more obnoxious ones in unless there's a damn good reward.

Got my LE. Really great quality stuff. Box feels sturdy and good. Looking forward to playing this later today. The ps3's physical manual lists Alisa's full last name in it in her bio, weirdly enough.
Anyone have a link to a good guide to getting 100% of whatever the bracer point equivalent is? I'd like to have that handy for my playthrough.
