Sounds great indeed! 
Definitelly getting this at day one in Europe. I'm currently playing Earth Defence Force 2017 Portable and i love the online co-op.

Seems that based on recent news, games do sell well on Vita, as long as devs/pubs keep their expectations tempered. Atlus, Ubisoft and many indie studios have reported healthy profits on Vita.

I couldn't care less what Famitsu says, but this has been looking excellent from day one. I'm much more interested in NeoGAF itself's impressions. So far it's another one to watch out for when I finally get a Vita.

The page is in english, it should be easy to register. Select english at the bottom of the main page, search for the japanese flag. The Soul Sacrifice part of the program is probably 30 minutes away, you have time to register!.
oh,
I was wondering what's going on, they don't even have PSVitas but 360 controllers instead!

Don't know Japanese, so I might be interpreting it wrong, but it looks like the schedule says 22:00. Will keep an eye out anyway

The programas started at 20:00 japanese time, it has been on air for 32 minutes, they are playing Phantom Breaker, after that I think it's Ultraman and finally Soul Sacrifice. If you get kicked out of the stream, just click on the link avobe again.

Big interview with Inafune, sadly in Japanese, maybe someone can make a summary.

So they fought 2 Jack-o-lanterns, and a Griffin (so far). I like
Was still a great battle though This game is going to be awesome!
Edit: Everything is the awesomeness!
the blinding magic that Griffin used. That was interesting. But I'm a bit disappointed that Griffin seems to be a reskinned Harpy. Could have varied it's movement a little more :/

I'm a bit concerned about the level of or lack of character customisation in this game. You can customise your load outs (6 spells) but there appears to be little in the way of meaningful armour/clothing customization other than visual appearances. I think this is where MH excels and differentiates itself from most hunting games. Unless I'm wrong but I can't find any hard info on this aspect. Is there any crafting as well?

Does anyone know if it will be possible to "Preorder" the PSN ver of this game to get the preorder bonuses? Or is that retail only?
Is the Japanese ver like this?

Anyone importing this? Think it will be too hard to play for someone that does not speak Japanese?
I think it should be ok. Games like this are pretty straight forward, same with Monster Hunter.
Or why not waiting for the English version? Since it's only like a month away till the English version.

Been waiting for this one, I love Golden, MGS HD, and The Show, but I couldn't get into Gravity Rush, and the only original game for the Vita I have really enjoyed is UC...so tbis is very welcome.
Did you try the demo? You can customise your character, your clothing and it has properties.
There's no crafting per se... but lots of customization that comes from seals too.
In order to make new Seals, you need to gather a certain amount of two types of "materials": Aura (気）and Spirit (魂）. The Subjugation Seal, for example, needs 3 Goblin Spirits and 3 Orc Spirits before it becomes available. And you get those by killing enemies.
More infos (from the demo) on this site:

Holy shit. This would make playing the import a lot easier...
Im waiting for my copy from play asia this week. Playing the demo was pretty easy and this game would give me a reason to get familiar with the Japanese language a lil. I say go for it.

Cool, quick question. Do I need a separate memory card if I am getting the cart version? Or can I just use me US one?
I am so getting this once it's out in Europe.
I don't normally play multiplayer, well, anything tbh, anyone know how exactly it works in this game? People team up to take down monsters? Is there some sort of lobby to find a random group, because I don't know anyone in real life with a Vita?

It makes me happy to see how frantically everyone was talking to each other giving directions. Maybe this kind of game will resonate with the Japanese.
The combat pace is perfect. Anyone knows what the ability used in 5:02 does?
That's the Mind's Eye mode. Press the Down button and you can see some stats of the monsters and hidden things on the stage, like magic or items.
I love this spell and plan to use it frequently when I acquire it:
* from the reveal.
Just remember that you can run out of magic.

I will likely be pre-ordering this when I get my vita in a couple of weeks. The demo gameplay videos I've seen so far look really promising. Cant wait for more impressions from GAF, as I don't think that I will be trusting mainstream reviewers with this one (for the same reasons I didn't trust them with Monster Hunter).
I'm also hoping there will be a decent amount of single player content (25 hours could be taken different ways, grinding or not) as I usually don't play online. Who knows, maybe this will be the title that makes me take the plunge.

Would love to do some multiplayer with other GAFers when the JP version comes out. Hopefully we can get together through the OT thread.
Yes. It's like any other lobby system lol you can even search for specific types of missions you want to do that others are doing

Of course it's on PSN lol
And even if it was removed you could still redownload anything taken down from your download list.
