Could be close to the Japanese release dates. That would be a pleasant surprise.

On that note. I hope Fate Extella won't just play as a dull musou.


And it's been trademarked! Maybe someone other than Bamco will be bringing it over though.

I think Bamco will bring it over; they were the ones that trademarked it I think. Maybe early 2017 though, as they have a lot releasing this fall (Tales of, SAO Hollow Realization, likely Nio-Kuni 2, ect).
 
So guys as I'm typing up the GE OT for the end of the month, I go to their website just to double check on the whole Vita situation. As you guys remember, you all said, and I confirmed in this page that the Vita version of the GE2:RB pre-order wouldn't come with GE:R as a freebie.

So I decided to snoop some more around the internet which gave me weird answers as well. I went back to their website. Browsed all the way to their order page, and selected the Vita version to see what would come with it. And lo and behold:
Those who purchase the Limited Day 1 Edition of GOD EATER 2: Rage Burst for PS4 will receive a voucher in box to redeem GOD EATER: Resurrection in addition to DLC costumes based on characters from Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization, Tales of Zestiria and Tokyo Ghoul.

PC buyers who purchase GOD EATER 2: Rage Burst will have the download of GOD EATER Resurrection start automatically.

PSN Buyers who pre-order GOD EATER 2: Rage Burst will be able to download GOD EATER: Resurrection for free when it releases on June 28th, 2016.

And this was with the Vita version selected on that page. Now I don't wanna jump to conclusions, it could simply be a case of bad copy-pasta work, could just be for the PS4, OR it could be a case of omission on the first page I linked on this post. Because if you look at the
non-existant in the US
Vita cover on that page, it doesn't have the "GE:R included" sticker on the top left corner.

Hmmmm.

What a fucking mess Bamco.

Bamco supports the Vita, but they are so half-hearted about things sometimes :l. Either way, glad its coming over and looking forward to playing it in the future :).

US Bamco is a disgrace yes. EU Bamco isn't. It's like the whole Atlus situation, but reversed.

I'm excited about the rumored Crash game in addition to seeing more of Horizon, the possible announcement of God of War IV and other stuff Sony has in store. Hopeful we will see a new KH3 world announced too.
The only thing I'm excited about this year's E3 is that bolded thing above.

A reveal of what the Evo team inside Codies is working on would be great too, specially if it's similar to Motorstorm.

Ironic how that works honestly XD!

I also started watching that Irregular Magic High School series and....its meh so far. Only watched 2 and a half episodes but it feels so stale with little going on. We got a fight scene in episode 3 but it was so short. Will stick with it though for a few more episodes and see if sucks me in.

Thanks for explaining it to me and looking forward to seeing how it ends up.

I am still super excited for GE and hope to see some of you folks over on the OT, although I know most, if not all will be playing ZTD. Just wrapping some visuals up, some of the info is still so confusing that I'm waiting on one final statement from Bamco to fix everything and link things appropriately.

Yeah Mahouka is a mixed bag of a show. It is the originator of the "high school high tech magic" spiel, so stick with it. Things ramp up quickly, and things don't seem the way they are at the start.

You shall revere almighty onii-sama.

You sold me on SAO with your comments on the game, so going subscribe to your God Eater thread the moment it goes up man :D. I will be getting God Eater close to launch hopefully, so I will be posing a lot there :).

The show is starting to ramp up a bit now, so looking forward to seeing more of it :).

That text doesn't change nor reload whichever version you have selected, it's comprehensive.
If in that picture with the covers the only one with no sticker is the Vita one, it means it's not gonna have it, like they said. The Steam version is a mock-up cover too but they included it.

As you can see, everything is like it should be in the EU one.

Now, it's Bamco, so it might just be a big fuck up (and it is already since Europe gets both games on the same day), but the odds aren't there.

Yeah I agree. And it's a shame, no idea why the US branch is doing this. I don't want to say that it's out of greed but...

I really wanted to have that nice looking GE2RB cover too, but seeing how only EU is getting it and it'd cost me a leg and an arm to import it... as well as having an inoperative PSN code to the original game, which I had to buy because S Bamco is dumb. And there's no way I'd want the PS4 version, can't imagine playing this game on anything other than a small screen. Sigh...
 
So GE:RB doesn't come with Resurrection on Vita? How much are each of them separately? I mean Vita games are $20 cheaper than PS4 games, or $40 cheaper here in Canada, so maybe we're not getting that screwed.

Another fellow Canadian!

Think the worst man. Go on Amazon and check how much GE2RB for the PS4 is. Go on, go check, I'll be here.

It is a PS4 game, and it does come with GE:R. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say $39.99 for both games on the Vita.
 
The voice acting in Cold Steel is ass
???

It's one of the best dubs I have ever heard and single-handedly changed my opinion on dubs.
You are crazy. There are wrong opinions and this is one of them.

Rufus
Towa
Claire
Sharon
Alfin
Olivier
Crow
Misty
Angelica

All of those are spot on and awesome and that's just a few examples

The only one that is objectively terrible is Milium
Sara and Alisa are questionable but okay

I have a huge man-crush on Rufus just because of his VA (small spoilers for Ch2 I think)

I actually found Millium VA and character in general pretty pleasant to hear. On the contrary, as much as I love Sharon, I found her VA someway unsettling and out of place

She's trying too hard to be quirky and her voice is like scratching chalkboard so I can't stand her, but maybe that's the point.

And I feel like Sharon's voice is perfect (MAJOR SPOILERS)
for a seemingly innocent maid like her who is actually a sadistic enforcer.

Sharon is love.
 
Hey, a place to plug my review of it!

https://kresnik258reviews.wordpress...ukou-no-rettousei-out-of-order-import-review/

The game was average. Just like the anime.

Read the review and yeah, from gameplay I watched a while back the game did look very generic. The brand is interesting because of how serious it takes its technologies and work theories, going as far as having published books on the matter. Aside from that, other than it being the originator of this trend as I mentioned, it's just another LN show doing LN things.

I get it that it sucks but just play 2. Even though it seems even more shitty because the other 2 versions get it, it's really not that big of a deal on its own. The online in GE:R is probably gonna be dead as fuck (US-only and 2 comes out soon after it) and the plot is laughable, if you played it on PSP just skip it.

I think you forget who I am and how much I love God Eater :p

I've been trying to change my password for psn for a while now. Every time I go to http://us.playstation.com/psn/signin/ the page is broken and I can't sign in. I've reset my browser, used different ones, used a mac, a pc, and an ipad but I'm unable to get it to work.

Is the website just completely broken at this point?

So what do you guys think about Square skipping Vita for FF XII? Didn't they say it was based on the sales of X and X-2 or am I remembering it wrong?

It's unfortunate since I prefer playing RPGs on Vita mostly but it's Square, they take weird decisions these days.

AFAIK they haven't commented on why.

SE is impulsive.
Remote play. That's what I do with all my ps4 games. Although the game is $50 which when compared to $40 for both X and X-2 is a little absurd.
Buying FFXIIHD Vita for 450$ is definitely a good alternative.

I personally don't really care, as I would rather get Square's other titles on Vita anyway (Builders, Heroes 2, World of FF). Besides, many great JRPG's are coming out and would rather play those.

Sounds a bit bitter, but if a studio/company doesn't wan't to release a game for the thing I own, that is cool. But I will just get it far later whenever I get the means to play it on the platform they want to release on (PS4).

Edit: That same mentality also applies to games like Azure of Night and Gravity Rush 2 for me personally; not bitter I cannot play them and that they didn't release on Vita, but not in a rush to give them a look.
 
All of them.
What are the options?

I dunno. I think honestly I'm in one of those moods where I feel like I should play something but I'm being irrational and also want to spend money to do so.

I'm going to resist buying something right now, hopefully.

Odin Sphere is a great choice if you ask me.

Don't waste your money. Try the Odin Sphere demo today and the Grand Kingdom demo tomorrow. See if you like either game and go from there!

Square Enix probably has a new demo to sell.

The price surprises me. $50 and it doesn't include Revenant Wings?

That is a very good move, considering how content packed both demos appear to be. Odin Sphere's demo has a lot of replay value through each character offering a 10-15 Minute gameplay session.
