Could you keep out the trophy shit of an impression thread?

Reposting because it was one of the last posts in the previous page. 
To those that have got the game early, I'd like to ask a question. Is there any option to remove number popups (you know, numbers popping out showing damage done, etc. JRPG style)? I find them spammy, distracting, and unnecesary.

I'm not seeing that in the skills menu, though it might just be an added effect to some of the shield skills at a higher level, since almost every skill can be leveled up multiple times.
Still have yet to play it on the PS3 (that comes tonight) but the Vita version so far is pretty great. There is certainly a bit of slowdown when too much is happening on screen. Also, and this might just be a pet peeve of mine, but even after playing Muramasa on the Vita, I've noticed that I'm not too big of a fan of the tiny analog sticks, as it makes me pull off moves I didn't intend to. For instance, while moving, holding the Square button will make you run, and then pressing down will make your character slide. I'm having the problem that the slightest movement of the analog stick, which is really easy given its tiny size, makes me slide when I just wanted to keep running. Anyway, wouldn't call that a dealbreaker at all, as the game is phenomenal so far, but it is a slight annoyance.

Yep, in the options menu you have the ability to hide or show Damage values, HP Gauge and Subtitles. There is even a space for Narrator, which right now can't be changed from default. I'm guessing DLC?

Yes, day 1 dlc even.

Free on day 1 at that
Oh snap, this I did not know.

Yeah, for the first month all the other narrators are free, IIRC. Being able to remove all that visual stuff is great, in other games we rarely have the option of doing so. Have you tried turning it off and seeing if you get better framerates on the Vita version?

Sweet! Good to know!
Yup.
Day 1 DLC or unlockable through gameplay (probably have to beat the game with a given character to unlock their narration).
nothing in the post you link seems to indicate that there is a slowdown issue in the Vita version. Am I missing something?

I'll give it a go and see. I took pics of the Skills upgrade screens (Main class and Common) not sure if that's cool to post here or not. But if it's cool, I'll post them
Well, technically it's Basiscape. I'm sure he's composing some pieces for the game, but you have to keep in mind that their setup allows other composers from the company to compose pieces for a project they've taken on. We'd have to wait until the soundtrack comes out before we know which tracks he composed.
You mean the screen with those cards? They've already shown that aspect of the game off in some screenshots and trailers.devotedgmr17 said:

The official website lists Hitoshi Sakimoto, but Basiscape is still good even if he's not doing everything.

with this being an 'rpg', will there be insanely awesome high level skills?
ah, thanks.
crap. Well I was all set on the Vita for that OLED, and also because I rarely turn on my PS3 these days. This is kind of a bummer, but I think I'll stick with it.
There's a trophy for doing 100k damage in a single hit, so probably.
We've only seen that skills exist, but not what they are. I wouldn't mind seeing more info on what the class and common skills entail and how they'll change how we play.
Yeah, that's fine. That's been the situation with every Vanillaware game they've worked on so far, and their output has been phenomenal.

This isn't all the skills, but just figured I'd show you guys the two upgrade menus, found in the Guild.

For some reason I absolutely love the animation screen of resurecting the fallen warriors. All these little cherubs come out, and it's just cool looking. I had no idea before playing the game that AI characters could travel with you. That was a surprise.
No hints of DLC, just this so far:
I'm in favor of DLC
as long as it isn't exploitative like FFXIII-2's

Am loving the game most def. Went with the Amazon. Pretty cool character, but blocking is most def your friend or else HP goes fast lol
Awesome stuff with all the little extra secrets for those who take the time to poke around or notice things on the map. Similar to capcoms D&D games. Very cool vanillaware paid attention to all the things that made that game great and tossed it into Dragons Crown, along with their own original features.
Man poor capcom as their D&D game might get overshadowed by this cept for the hardcore fans. Got my LE version on the way next month though! Better start searching for 1 yen coins around the apartment to pay for it lol

Mmmm, perhaps switching the D-pad and analog controls might help? It's supposedly an option at least on the PS3 version, and I can imagine it helping immensely with imprecision such as that.
Awesome, AWESOME news. Thanks a lot.
One thing, switching off the gauge removes the bosses' HP bars? Cool, you can turn it into Monster Hunter.

Has anyone found any video / impressions about the art book? Searched YouTube but no luck. I'm thinking I'm going PS3 and going to pick up PSV on the cheap down the road. Gameplay looks awesome, and 1080p @ 60fps is yummy!

That IGN video of the characters bugs me because he talks about Luck affecting loot so much, so here it is:
LUCK DOES NOT AFFECT LOOT. ONLY CRITICAL HITS AND CRITICAL DEFENSE.
Whew.

Man, that red demon boss they fought didn't seem like it was doing anything. They just kinda spammed stuff on him til he died. =l
EDIT: Okay, I guess that was a mini-boss thing as it had no life bar either. The started getting beat down at the actual boss.
Are the stat descriptions listed somewhere? Like, what the other ones do as well?
Thank you!
I was tempted to play as the Wizard prior, but when I heard that his horrible luck would basically make it extremely difficult to earn loot, I sided with the Fighter instead. Now, after hearing this, I might go with the Wizard again!
...Or I'll stay with the Fighter. Both look incredibly fun.
Sweet lord, the boss for that stage was a goddamn monster. They were struggling just to stay alive. I don't understand what happened at the end, though.
I'm going with Fighter and Wizard.chrono01 said:

Can you or someone else post the base stats for each class? That should help people who became a bit nervous about a class they were thinking of after the IGN video.
Excellent choices. Great minds and all that.
I think I'll go with both, as well. Their variation of combat abilities will likely be different enough to want to try each, and it will stretch the amount of time I spend with this game even more [this can be a negative considering my massive backlog >_<].
Haha, yeah if this game hooks me bad my backlog is going to grow to monstrous proportions. Swinging back and forth from Fighter and Wizard is going to be a nice and refreshing. I'm still trying to decide on a third, and Elf is looking like that choice.

I hear you loud and clear. This is one of those "dream games" for me. Arcade style brawler with RPG trappings and sprite work. 8D

Some DLC has already been announced in Japan in the form of purchasable game master voices, if I remember correctly.

Still playing as the Amazon, don't give a damn if she has low HP, I'm sure I'll be able to handle it if she's faster.

I approve of purchasable game master voices. Its too bad that the original one wasnt Wakamoto that would have been hilarious.
While she can dish out insane damage, she does get beaten up pretty bad if you dont pay attention to whats going on. Great character though and am enjoying playing through as her so far.
The voice pack will be available in NA too. Free for first month, $1.99 thereafter, lets you replace the narrator with the player character's. Unlockable through normal gameplay, so more of a DLC for the impatient.
