Any word on whether the NA version has Japanese?

Sadly not.

But the dub's really not as bad as the trailer made it sound. Quite charming actually. (And I loathe dubs)

 

[Spirited]

oh I kinda want to get this! Be sure to post some impressions in here!

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Hm, then let me flip this around, even though I probably already know the answer.

Any word if the JP version has English? Hahaha.

It'd be nice to have both in one, but I suppose that's asking for a bit much.

It'd be nice to have both in one, but I suppose that's asking for a bit much.

it's listed in the JP iOS store with the following languages:

言語: 日本語、イタリア語、オランダ語、スペイン語、ドイツ語、フランス語、英語、韓国語

the bolded one means English; but I haven't tried it out yet, it's suspicious that the JP/KR versions are only 896 MB while the EU/AU versions are 1.51GB.

There's also still a chance the US iOS/Android version could have Japanese as a language option, I don't think the US versions have been released yet.

edit: Oh, and I tried switching the iPhone to Japanese but it doesn't change the available options in-game (EU iOS version).

 

[blazeaire]

Does it work on rooted devices? don't wanna buy it and find out I can't play it

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Cheers, mate. I have no idea why I didn't just look at the App Store page. lol. I guess I'm just lazy.

 

[aravuus]

Does it work on rooted devices? don't wanna buy it and find out I can't play it

Yeah. Playing on a rooted phone with a custom rom right now.

 

[Maximo]

Will wait to hear impressions but im interested.

 

[purseowner]

This is making the wait for Splatoon 2 a lot easier.

Any idea how long the game is?

 

[JeTmAn81]

Is it likely this will be available on Play at midnight in my region? Hype hype

 

[takoyaki]

Any idea how long the game is?

12 episodes. The length is comparable to previous Layton games according to the Famitsu review.

Is it likely this will be available on Play at midnight in my region? Hype hype

The EU version showed up around midnight UK time, the AU/JP versions took longer to pop up on the stores. Fingers crossed it's up shortly after midnight in the US!

 

[duckroll]

It's up for me on Android now. Singapore account. 1.33 gig. I'm going to convert this to the OT, hope you don't mind!

Sounds great, thanks!

You can make changes/put the additional info in the OP if you want, otherwise I'll try to turn it into more of a real OT tomorrow.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Waiting for iOS USA...

 

[blazeaire]

Yeah. Playing on a rooted phone with a custom rom right now.

Just downloaded it and it didn't work on mine

 

[RedToad64]

Are the puzzles of the same quality of previous Layton titles?

 

[purseowner]

Are the puzzles of the same quality of previous Layton titles?

Puzzles so far are nicely varied. As fun as those in the first few Layton games were, but a fair bit easier.

 

[ForkNetwork]

Reading this OT just made me remember how much I missed Layton

three and a half years, man. I bought Azran Legacy on release date, I cant wait to begin this one!

Maybe I"ll double dip just to get that sweet 3ds case

What percentage of the puzzles involve matchsticks

Edit - obligatory:

 

[blazeaire]

Nvm got it to work had to download root cloaker modules to bypass it. Goddamn it's been a minute since I played layton games, the first puzzle made me use all 3 hint coins lmao

Good lord, that takes me back.

 

[Zafir]

up on the EU/AU iTunes Stores!

1.51GB

€17,99 / £15.99 / AUD 24.99

edit: Korean iTunes Store as well (897 MB like the Japanese version, there might be two versions with the smaller one not containing all the languages or something like that)

Why is the UK price different on google play?

It's £17.99 on google play for whatever reason, not £15.99.

 

[GSR]

Checking the US play store at the top of every hour, lol. I need my Layton fix

Spoiler

and something to tide me over until Great Ace Attorney 2 in two weeks

Thanks for catching the OT, I've been traveling so I didn't want to commit to making one.

If you pre-register for it I think you get an email when it's live

Here are the details for the IAP in the game:

There are currently 15 sets of costumes you can buy individually. Each set comes with a puzzle. There are also two bundles for Sets 1-10, and Sets 11-15. These are cheaper than buying individually but if you buy any of the individual pieces you CANNOT buy the bundle it is in anymore. The pricing seems kinda high, and if you buy both bundles, the total cost of the game would be around 40 bucks, which would put it on par with the 3DS retail game.

So I guess the question is how much you think 15 extra puzzles + 15 sets of dress up stuff is worth!

 

[takoyaki]

Quick and dirty OT update done, they sure didn't put out a lot of English marketing material and copy...

I'll update the OP tomorrow with better (hopefully English) graphics and make it a bit ”purdier"

edit: let me know if I forgot to add something important

 

[ladyluthien]

Oh mannnnn I was going to wait for the 3DS release but I don't think I'll be able to keep myself back from some new Layton goodness.
Looks like I'll grab it off the App Store! Can't wait.

 

[RedToad64]

Good to hear.

Any word on volume of puzzles? Can we expect the same amount as the more recent games?

 

[takoyaki]

the game is up on the US Play Store, go get your Layton Fix GSR

edit: sorry, the store page went live but it looks like the game is not fully up yet. The wait continues.

How much is it? It only mentions pre-registration on my end.

 

[takoyaki]

not sure, it shows me the price in local currency because Google stores always check your location. EUR17,99 in my case.

Its possible the game isn't fully up yet, sorry if that's the case but it should only be minutes now. The link didn't work until it went live just now. Same thing happened with the JP/AU/etc Google stores.

 

[El Odio]

Gah, I don't know if I wanna bite now or wait for the 3DS release. Would be nice to have, especially on my phone, since I need my puzzle but splatoon 2 is right around the corner.

 

[takoyaki]

Definitely up on the US iTunes Store now!

This post seems to imply they're paid dlc on the 3ds too(?) Unless they're different costumes or most are free in the 3ds Version etc

There's 10 outfits and 5 costumes that are sold as DLC on iOS/Android.

Only the 5 costumes are paid DLC on 3DS, the outfits seem to be included in the base 3DS game since you can't purchase them with money.

If the 3DS version only has paid DLC for the cosplay ones, that must be the second bundle. Which means the 3DS game includes the first 10 costumes. Anyone can confirm?

 

[jonno394]

£17.99 in the UK. Bloody Brexit!

 

[mrklaw]

Would like impressions how this is on iPad vs iPhone. So the graphics look great on an iPad or will the mobility of phone win out? Although I don't play much out of the house..

I could give two fucks about the clothes, but how many puzzles is 15 puzzles compared to the full game? Is that a decent chunk more?

 

[LumpOfCole]

It looks like you can transfer saves back and forth between the two with a Level 5 account, so it looks like you can use both as it suits the situation.

 

[jonno394]

If it's anything like previous Layton titles there should be over 100 puzzles ingame with plenty of free daily puzzles

Fake edit from the android store -

"The largest collection of puzzles in any Layton Series title" so that should mean over 150(?) Base puzzles at least with 365 daily puzzles.

Azran legacy have over 500 in total with all the daily stuff.

 

[Brat-Sampson]

$15.99
€17.99

£17.99

Get to fuck.

EDIT: If I convert, $16 is less than £12.50. I'm not willing to spend 50% more just because publishers can't convert currency correctly.

 

[Nicolada]

Oh wow, the game is already out? Watch me get spoiled by a thumbnail on youtube's suggested videos again like with Azran Legacy.

Ah forgot those were a thing, should be more then enough puzzle action.

Happened to me with Azran Legacy as well, Layton games have to be played as close to release as possible

You forgot about VAT (which doesn't explain the full cost. Should be £15.99 at most imo)

 

[Chasetopher]

I love Layton but am apprehensive. I guess I'll sleep on it.

I need some feedbacks for decide to buy or not
