I don't think they care. Once pvp is introduced, people will want to want for the honor of their perfecture.

Oh, damn. This seems pretty cool. The very brief gameplay section I experienced controlled very well.
Got up to the part where I had to create my "Accessory."
Had no idea what an accessory was, so I did the character creation process the same as when I created my guy. Oops. Turns out that the accessory is your partner. I wish they explained that before I finalized the options!
I'll give the demo another go tomorrow night. I gotta say that I'm pretty impressed with the visuals, too. Vita sure can output some nice graphics.

That 12 minute trailer, can anyone explain what those features are?

The demo was really solid and sold me on the game. Also doesn't hurt that its $30 either. Which is kind of odd since Delta was regular priced and digital only.

I wonder if they'll add other region outside japan when the game is localized.

Why wouldn't they? It'll more likely be bigger regions, with Asia probably going to be per country.

Get all the Field Resources in mission 1-2 !
That aside, is it confirmed that we can/can't transfer our save data from the demo over? I haven't been able to find anything on it so far.
afaik they confirmed that you can't transfer demo save to the full game.
Already confirmed 50 states at E3 (showfloor). Don't know about EU/ Asia
I have high hopes for a half decent story but that Famitsu remark worries me.
They didn't bother with the demo though. We got the exact same Japanese demo.
I actually don't think I will want to play by country. I'm not sure Asia has the players to support it.
It'll probably just be HK dominating throughout.

What's everyones prediction on the release date in america for this? My friends think August but i feel like they might just push this to closer to October to get as many vitas as possible before the crushing and alluring SSB comes out on 3DS

Sony started to advertise this in Japan. Hope it sells decently.

Shame no limited edition Vita for the game. Even oreshika didn't get a LE Vita
The new color & "value pack" is imminent, making LE just before that is kinda bad move IMO.

That and they still have no idea how to make an actual nice LE. Since even the GE2 one was a letdown considering its just the rear panel that is different with the front still being black. Would have liked it more if the whole unit itself was the tan color.
Last year it looked like they were "fighting" in order to get a better position. Their passive attitude this year makes me think they are satisfied with Vita current market situation (at Japan) and are just seeing how money enters in their bank accounts.
That will explain why last year they had so many bundles (Soul Sacrifice, Toukiden, God Eater, Final Fantasy...) while we haven't seen anything similar in 2014.
The Toukiden themed Vita was absolutely amazing. If I didn't have one I'd import that bundle from Nippon-Yasan.
Well at least they are way more aggressive for color variations (OG Vita had like only 5 colors).
I still miss the silver OG vita, though

That silver vita was sweet.
Does anyone know how big the game is going to be? I also want to know how many areas we'll see.

It's still retarded that they literally said they want to create a boom with Freedom Wars and still not have a Freedom Wars bundle (or LE FW Vita).
I just found out that the GE2 vita is still available at a local store. I'm thinking if I should buy it... but I also kinda want to buy another OLED Vita, since a Vita-3000 will be unlikely.

Famitsu has posted how rewarded "boards" work. They are consumable item with low-tier item rank so they should be easily available in the real game.

Those boards look awesome, can't wait to try it out !
Seems like the site updated again might be worth it to translate.

It seems to state the kinds of missions that are available (Volunteer Rule Variations) and a short explanation of them, from something that seems to be CTF? (I think) to civilian search/rescue, accessory rescue, resource collection, target elimination, enemy group elimination.
Hopefully someone else can help out cause I can't read a lot of the kanji !
Different mission types
Some fairly standard stuff
- Capture and control more zones than the enemy
- Search and rescue civilians that were left behind on the battlefield
- Rescue civilians from enemy abductors
- Escort and prevent enemies from grabbing civilians from allied abductors
- Eliminate all enemies
- Reach the target destination in the field
- Collect the required amount of resources from the field
- Eliminate the target
- Rescue the accessory that was abducted

Thanks man !
I tried the hoverboard and, well, it was a consumable item after all.
It was so fun playing with it but it has worn out so fast!
Actually I got two of them, but each one lasted like 10-15 seconds...
On the bright side, it seems like boards are just common disposable items within a real game. It shouldn't be limited to the rewards only.

Can you use weapon when you are on the hoverboard? Or is it exactly the same as shown in YouTube? My prefecture ranking in the demo is 7, so I did not get the hoverboard T_T

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
You can't swing weapons, fire guns, grapple thonrs, or carry civilians. As for the board we got as the reward the best use is to move long distance without interruption.
The way hoverboard is limited already making ppl speculate that there may be ones with higher rank, either last longer or allow you to do things while being used.

Yeah. I assume this will substitute for running around from A to B.

Would be great for when you need that last minute countdown rush to get to the further collection points on the map before the stage ends lol.

Posted already but yes, I like it too.

The more I see of this game the more hyped I get! My guess is that it will come out in late Sept./ early Oct. stateside.
Thanks for the info guys, can't wait to hear impression for the full games =)

Makes me wonder if there is an item for high speed movement like that, if there will be any abductors that are really agile?

Only that Mech Tiger looks really mobile everything else seems to be pretty slow.
I'm curious how they're going to work around the text-to-speech pronunciation of character names if it's going to be JP audio only in the English version. The voice banks might have a hard time with English name pronunciation. Wonder if they might just replace spoken instances of the player's name with shūjin or something.

Seeing how the US also has some good text to voice type of programs, it wouldnt be too far fetched to imagine them including one that works with the english language.
hell even some skilled Japanese folks have managed to get the vocaloids to sound pretty good with english words for some songs. so its not hard to imagine a little effort being put in to get it working.

I generally take a bit more time with the resources rather than just using everything directly as is if possible. Though there isnt really all that much useable resources from the main page itself. So am right now trying to figure out what to do about the category background border, have an idea though. Just that since am not using photoshop its going to take a bit more messing around as dont have the exact features I need with paint.net. Also plan on not bothering with doing any sort of indepth info with the characters and such.
