Freedom Wars is from the same developers as GE, so you might find something to like right away. As I said, there's a lot more emphasis on speed and maneuverability in GE.

Oh seriously? That's awesome. This is definitely on my list to buy then. The speedy chaos of Freedom Wars was what I loved about it. Can't wait!
Thanks.

Whats the point of releasing Resurrection first if two months later 2 is coming out with Resurrection packed in?

Because Resurrection is also a digital preorder bonus when you preorder 2 on PSN/Steam. You get the game for free 2 months earlier than you would physical. I'd say giving you the first game to play while you wait on 2 is a pretty compelling argument for pushing digital preorders.

As someone who has played mainly MH and Toukiden, how different is God Eater?

A lot faster paced. You will need to get used to the fact that you have a ranged weapon and learning how to use it is a good thing.
Combat is not as deep as MH or Toukiden which is MH-lite.
Still is a good game on its own accord. Just dont expect it to be Monster Hunter and you will be fine.
Old footage from GE2 but gameplay for the most part is still the same. Early footage also.

Wow, free Resurrection?
I'm in!
How is it compared to PSO2?
I owned a PSP but never get to playing God Eater.

Different as the game does not play on activated skills so to speak. Its more combo based, though there are some commands which can be done by pressing button combinations together.
Also the main unique feature of the game is how you can customize your bullets for your ranged form of your weapon creating all sorts of crazy effects and such. Along with break the game eventually.
Turn off your sound for vid below, but just some examples

Id say dont click on this if you dont like spoilers, but heres one "game breaking" bullet example lol. Though generally you wont be able to make this till way later in the game as the new bullet editing unlocks open up as you progress in the story.

And further potential spoilers / crazy bullet shit by the same person so click at your own risk.

Bullet Editing will be a bit confusing at first though if you can get a hang of it you can make some pretty interesting stuff.
Resources are collected from dead aragami by eating the corpse with your weapon. Which is generally done by holding down one of the buttons or you can perform the move mid combo.
Same eating action is used to steal shot abilities from the various aragami while they are still alive. Those aragami bullets can be passed to teammates also if you are not much into the ranged play.

The game design for this is closer to hunting genre than the Phantasy Star Online series which is closer to Diablo in the sense that it is a loot game. Granted its gone far past that now with all of the changes made, but am talking very basic with the design here.
In God Eater its story bits, go out on missions kill stuff for resources make yourself stronger then progress in the story -> repeat the process.
Also unlike Monster Hunter this game has a proper story with characters. That will also show up with you on missions as AI partners, which can be given general commands. But the AI for the most part is fairly competent on its own and usually will not get into trouble unless it is totally overwhelmed.
While doing non-story runs you can drag along your favorite NPCs as AI partners also as long as they are available story wise.

Late PC version sucks but hopefully it isn't a crap port.

One thing would like to let all the "new" fans know is do not expect fancy maps / enviros as the game back when it was originally made content was also done with the PSP in mind and a lot of that has carried over.
While Rage Burst does have new stuff made with the Vita being the barrier with design it is content that will show up later in the game.
So if you are one who expects the title to like be some sort of showcase to wow you with graphical design you might want to check out now. As this title will not do that with the general level designs.
Though gameplay most def is solid for those who care about that over graphics.

Do you think we'll be ok playing Resurrection first an then 2? Or maybe we'll miss some mechanics and so?
Hunting games, like Monster Hunter, Toukiden, etc...
But Freedom Wars is maybe the closest.

Not really as Resurrection was updated with most of the modern features they have been adding to the game throughout its history.
While it may not have been the case for the dlc one thing that can screw up rights holding is if extra designs were done by an outside source. Causing an extra layer to talks and adding cost.
Predator Style vs Blood Arts, Blood Bullets, Blood Rage. Playing GER after GE2RB was a step down for me.
