Kiiinda. I was largely avoiding info on the game and was hoping the character progression stuff would be minimal, making it more like a skill-based arcade beat 'em up than something like Odin Sphere. But it sounds closer to Odin Sphere than I expected.

While I wouldn't be opposed to this kind of game, I don't think it's reasonable to expect a 50$ title to be an arcade style 1-2 hour repeatable experience these days.

I knew it would be asking for too much for it to be a straight-up arcade game, but I just can't picture multiple 20 hour campaigns that flow your character progression into the supposedly-harder difficulties to be... as focused as I'd like. I was hoping this would be more in the middle, like maybe a set of three-hour campaigns that had some basic skill branching over the course of a small number of level ups or something. I don't know.
I'm hoping it will still have some big nasty dungeons with sufficient punishment for death and I never feel like I'm unsure of where I am on the level curve.

While many things can be said about VanillaWare games, the one thing that is never said is "this was too easy".

This is a game that makes me regret having to give up my PS3. Brawlers don't come out often enough, and I usually can't get enough of good ones. Wonder if we'll see a vita price drop at Gamescom. It's a little too pricey for me right now.

Couldn't pick up my copy this morning on the way to work. Apparently Joshin doesn't open until 10, and I have to be at work by 9:30. :\
Oh well. I'll probably stop by a Bic Camera or something after work. Dying to start playing this.
That would be a $15 DD game these days. I'm going the opposite direction. I was afraid it would be a straight up 3-4 hour beat em up, and I'd be wasting $60 on what is essentially a $15 game. the customization, loot and the campaign length are exactly what I was looking for.

Holy shit. Apparently the retail PS3 version is like $80 dollars over there.
edit: Reverse importing might be the reason why there's no dual audio narration.

I know it's 2D and all, but doesn't that seem really cheap considering its developer time, how good it looks and how much content this has?
Shame about the softcover, but I expected it. Thanks for the update!
Do you know if it comes packaged/shrink-wrapped with the game or if it's included separate?

I hope it's on PSN day 1, I'm so buying it for PS3.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Its close to it, its possible to get it for around 6600+ but gotta do a little searching.
My PS3 copy costed me 7015 from Amazon.
Actually wound up with a PS3 copy too, that compliments my already VITA one. Weird considering I had checked Amazon first to make sure I didnt have something on the way, which is why picked up the VITA one. lol Ah well guess this solves my situation for double dipping early

Thanks! Is there much in the way of personal commentary from the artist on any particular design choices for locales/characters/monsters or is it more straight bio-focused (Here is this place, There is this person, etc.) ?

More or less bio focused. It has a foreword and some comments on guest artists. Honestly some of the female guest artists seem like they did a better job showing the Amazon, Sorceress, and Elf off than George himself.

That sounds good. I'm looking forward to flipping through it.

OMG I want one. Does that come with the Amazon order?
There's going to a be a slew of scaled figures in the coming year or so.I wish there was more merchandise for this game available for purchase.
Two of the Sorceress, one of Elf, one of Amazon, and one of Tiki. More will probably be announced at Wonderfes at the end of this month.
Sorceress [Alpha Max]:
I'm guessing this game has local multi on PS3, yeah?
Kinda regretting being a cheapass and pre-ordering the Vita release instead now. I wasn't even thinking about the couch co-op potential at the time, but it's bound to be a lot of fun.
I don't do online multiplayer, like, ever, so it's going to be a single player affair for me on Vita, unfortunately. Well, too late to change my mind now, 'cause the discounts I got when I pre-ordered the game last month would no longer apply for a new order.

Yup, it's got local multiplayer + online multiplayer + local multi and online multi. Well, at least you have DC on the go?

How are there no pictures of the supposed dinosaur mount yet?
i'm seeing people saying it's out in asia psn
supposedly this is exactly like the JP version but has english text
costs USD48 i think?
since it's exactly like the JP version it has the options to even change the narrators, something which some people are saying the english version will not have (they're saying english version can only change your playable character's voice, not the narrator's)

If you mean the raptors, I saw it on that twitch stream.
Why won't you touch online play for a game like this?

I rounded up all the info we have so far on the differences between the two versions:
Vita
+ OLED screen making the game prettier.
+ Touch controls to pick up stuff/open chests.
+ The ability to take screenshots.
- Framerate buckles under pressure when heaps of stuff is happening on the screen
- Easier to loose track of your character due to the smaller screen.
PS3
+ A more stable framerate.
+ Play it on a big T.V.
+ A little easier to keep track of your character.
- Having to move the cursor to pick up stuff/open chests.
- Can’t take screenshots.

I thought the framerate is going to be smooth.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a pretty debate-ending point to the PS3 version instead of the Vita version.
I'm sure it's not game breaking on Vita or anything, but framerate is king, always.

Umm, being portable is a pretty big benefit.
Looks like no network pass to me, because it's not for sale on PSN.

I found Far Cry 3 unplayable on consoles due to the framerate.
Would it bother me? Well, assuming you've played it on consoles...or at all
