I was going to import the Asian version early on but other games started coming out so I thought I'd wait for the US release. I'll probably wait til next year now with all the holiday releases and Wii U to tide me over. Could get lucky and a Euro release will be announced by then too.

The AC Bundle with the white Vita is tempting (I love white consoles but don't enjoy AC at all, so that'd be a bit of a waste), but I really can't afford it right now. I wish I could say otherwise, because this is the one title I've been really excited for that's been announced thus far. I'm a big fan of Monster Hunter and I adore the Ragnarok universe.

I have to admit, Vita's holiday line up with AC:L, Ragnarok Odyssey, NFS, and P4G, etc. looks pretty damn great. Definitely better than the 3DS's and about equal with the 3DS's first half of 2012 line-up.
May have to check out how cheap I can pick one up for.

Question for those more familiar with this game. I know next to nothing about it. But from gameplay vids the fighting looks fun. Am I gonna go nuts with confusion if I pick this game up? Or should I be able to learn as I play no problem?

HOW RUDE!
Lol, to each their own. I am ready to slay these pink slime you guys call Poring. And I refuse to be cleric, someone else is going to have to heal because I can't be bothered when I am in the air.
From what I have seen it seems start at hub, equip character, take on a quest, follow the quest, slay some pink slimes and orcs and rabbits and whatnot, then slay an even bigger whatnot, return to hub, rejoice in your plunder, sell and buy goods and repeat.
Doing the same, plus DJ MAX... packed month.
I played PSP2. It was okay. They both feel similar in that they are kind of fast-paced and a little more arcade-ish feeling than MonHun? It's been awhile though since I've played PSP2; can't say I really enjoyed it.
Don't get my wrong, I'm not a hater of all things non-MH. I tried to like PSP and RO but they just didn't feel right.

Want to pre-order this. Very excited about it.
Just wondering, is this more like Ys or like TiTs?
Also want to get the Tactics game off of PSN later in the month. Would be a nice companion game to it.
Hate to admit this, but I'm losing interest now. I was hoping for a action RPG like Ys.
Does it even have a good story or characters? Is it just a questing/loot game?
I really like Monster Hunter but I don't like how it's appearing in every new handheld RPG lately. Can't wait for the new Ys game to get localized.
EDIT: Yeah, saw some footage of the game and read more about it. I was really looking forward to this since my Vita is starving. But I will sadly pass. I wanted (was hoping) for a traditional ARPG like Ys. I don't think I want another PO/MH game.
Will still pick up Ragnarok Ttactics depending on the impressions and reviews.

So it's a Monster Hunter/Phanstasy Star clone?

Wait.... mage is a melee class?
Not sure how I feel about this.

What do you mean, you mean mage can't be a muscular guy who can smash the staff into goblin's thick skull?

That's it? No gorgeous fields to explore? Ruins to plunder? Towns to visit? I dunno now if I want.
It seems like Ragnarok Odyssey is somewhere between Monster Hunter and Phantasy Star, but maybe closer to Phantasy Star. The combat is fast-paced and there's a bit of a story. But the structure is essentially take quest, grab loot, get stronger.
I think the Hunter is the ranged attacker class.
Edit: Wait, it seems like Mages have ranged magic, but Cleric is melee.

I'm thinking about it too, maybe along with DJMax.

I played the thief/dual dagger class whatever it's called and the combat definitely feels faster paced than MonHun. I could do combos, launch things into the air, continue comboing in the air and then slam it down into the ground...basically things that you'd never find in MH.

Well there are areas to explore but not a world map and there is only one town I believe. It's a very particular type of experience, one made infinitely better with friends online. So its not for everybody?
Also there are tons if videos out there for this game so see for yourself.

That's just small enemies. Larger bosses and enemies are orcs, huge bird creatures and golems. Pretty awesome art style actually. It remains pretty bright in its art style, but the later enemies can be menacing.
Great game, btw. Played a lot of the JP version and loved it.
Crafting is a big part of the game, it's the only way to get new gear. You get cards that each have a passive or active skill that you can equip. Based on your gear, you can then equip more cards that improve your stats and give you more abilities.
Iirc, your level only determines your base HP. Everything else is determined by your gear and your cards.
You can jump and air dash, which becomes critical for some of the larger bosses. I played a cleric and loved it. I didn't get to destroy a lot of stuff, but I could heal the whole party for almost all of their HP.

Does the online require you to actually know people, or can you play with randoms?
I can probably find some vitabros, but right now most of my friends are XBox or PC only.
I ordered it earlier, but kind of considering switching over to NFS:MW depending on how the online works.

So I've decided that cards and an artbook are for little boys... I haven't heard mind blowing music from videos that I've watched either, so regular edition pre-ordered.

Jayson Napolitano (best game music journalist) has a brief interview with Kumi Tanioka (Final Fantasy XI, Crystal Chronicles) about the OST of Ragnarok Odyssey; including 3 full songs to listen to with brief comments from the composer.
I didn’t realize that she was doing the OST, or that the mercenary edition of the game comes with the full OST.
Here are some of my favorite Tanioka tracks.
Final Fantasy XI
Gustaberg
Fury
The Republic of Bastok
Awakening
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time
Ice Mountain
Forest of Bygone Days
The Bridge Leading to the Tower
Code Age Commanders
Muphrid Palace
Mintaka Valley 1

Wait Tanioka did the music for this? Guess I'm buying the game. FF Crystal Chronicles is my favourite game OST ever and I'm a huge fan of her work on FFXI. I've got a huge nerdcrush on her.
Thanks for posting the interview.
