Isn't everything but mobile starved for card games?
True, but even mobile only has a few real card games. The bulk of them don't require any strategy, but rather time investment and cash to get the best cards. Also tapping, they require a lot of tapping and the purchasing of 'energy.'
Just curious, what do people consider the better card games available, in general? Not even restricting it to this gen.
Not sure if I'm speaking for everyone here, but most people want fully interactive card games. Not gaccha shit like GREE and other mobile ones where you just dump in money for rare cards and everything is autobattle.
Also, a self-contained game, earning more cards by playing the game, not buying boosters through DLC. Basically, see old yugioh handheld games vs new console ones.

It looks like it was rescheduled about a week ago.'
Good for fans in those regions though tbh.

Vita's GOTY deserves better.

I think Nintendo's got a monopoly on dragon lolis, unfortunately.
Purchase solidified.
Well played.
IFI keeping everyone here off of FBI lists is a good thing, you should be thanking them

More specifically, as I understand it the reasoning was that the uncensored images would have resulted in an AO rating from ESRB and a request to feck off from Sony (since an AO rating is an automatic certification fail for all of the three console manufacturers).
Seems unlikely, isnt AO mainly for explicit sexual content? Which none of the cut material was. Just IFI being over-cautious I'd say. Based on the list it looks like its only 19 or 20 out of 350

It was not only ESRB. As they are a small company releasing a very niche title, they would be able to make only one version, so they considered other rating boards and other specific regional regulations in order to make their decision.
Unfortunately for Australians, not even that was enough.

Yeah, I'm not keen on rubbing some of these lolis.

The illustrations are kind of still there, just locked in their level 1 or 2 forms. I don't really see an issue with that since the higher levels would have definitely gotten the game an AO rating.
Have you seen the images? You'll feel like you're inside an episode of Law & Order SVU
BEWD is overrated, in Yugioh tag force 3 cloudians were by far my favorite monsters

HUZZAH, the party has begun!
Yep saw them, I can see why most of them were the ones changed, but it none of them were even softcore porn never mind explicit porn.
It says theyve changed "about" 40, the actual specific list of cards only contains 19 cards, so perhaps some have multiple levels censored as opposed to just their level 4. The IFI president flat out stated that Monster Monpiece was offered to other companies for localisation and was turned down based on the images so it appears it was either this or nothing.
If I remember, the seal stones are for upgrading cards to their highest level. You can earn them via online play I believe. I don't know if the cards in the rare packs are unique to those packs or not. Rub points are used for upgrading cards via the rubbing minigame but you earn plenty of those through normal battles. The battle items are not worth buying.
Edit: I see one item is the Enlightenment Sphere. It does not specify that it's single use, so it might be worth buying for $0.49 for people who don't want to do the minigame (still requires rub points and seal stones if necessary). If it is single use, though, kind of a rip off.
Edit 2: There's an Enlightenment Sphere Pack of 10 so they do seem to be single use.
Thanks. The description for the '3rd Rare Pack' says "A 3-card pack with newly added monster girls. Receive randomly chosen monster girls."
That makes it sound like new cards. Was there any Japanese DLC that added more cards and maybe this is it?
I wouldn't be surprised if they added new cards. I have a horrible habit of buying games faster than I can finish ones I already have, so I never actually finished this game when I imported it last year when it came out. I booted it up just to refresh my memory for some things to answer questions, but never bothered to check into DLC stuff.

People who take the same bus as me better be ready. Tomorrow it will be Monster Monpiece in my hands!
Cheers. I'm going to wait on the DLC until there's more concrete info. I don't want to end up buying something I can unlock while playing. But if they're rolling out 50+ pieces of DLC it makes me think they're not even in the base game.

Okay, time to start; had to run to the store and get ready.
srsly wheres the information on dis dlc stuff
Will the micro transaction make the game easier and faster? How easily is it to obtain rare stuff and will I be fine without the dlc completing collection?
I guess I'll wait a until tomorrow.
Did some searching and it seems like the cards you can get from "Pack 1" are available in the post-game normally. That leads me to believe the subsequent packs might be entirely new cards. The + packs contain the same type of card as the non + packs, but they come already upgraded. Similarly for the ++ packs.
This is what I remember from playing the game last year:
You can obtain seal stones in normal gameplay but they are somewhat rare, you can also earn them from online battles. They're probably not worth buying because you still need enough points to upgrade cards, and the game isn't so hard that you need a bunch of top level cards.
Don't buy the rub points, you earn plenty through normal gameplay.
The in-battle items (like the one that says it moves your units forward 1 square) are just a money grab, the game is not difficult.
There are some interesting items like the one that lets you upgrade a card without having to do the rubbing minigame, but at 50 cents a pop, it's not worth it. Unless you really hate the rubbing minigame. Even then, you'd need a lot of those items over the course of the game.

Worth $30 is too subjective, but based on the impressions of Japanese people, from forums and from reviews, the card game part is very solid.
