I've e-mailed Nippon Yasan twice about my order but they haven't replied yet @_@
Gonna send another e-mail again...
They take on average a week to process even in-stock items. Probably even busier since it's the holiday crunch right now.

Is it the one with the Zodiac something something? What's the difference?
In the original everyone could be whatever "job/class" you wanted as long as you leveled them in the direction of the weapon you wanted to equip. Zodiac version restricts characters to one job. Although infinitely more important is that there's a fast forward option for battles to make the whole game much faster.

from the same post





see, I didn't mention anything graphic related for both games that I do and still have issues with their graphics/artstyle.

so if the post was about my full review/impressions about Ys Cel I'll talk about that, but it's not.

and if you got upset about VK3 "psp like" comment for some reason, I was just been honest for the reason why I didn't get it. game look like complete crap and unlike Ys the series track record is not good.

My post was obviously only about Ys graphics, not about VK3 that i said nothing to defend(read my last post about VK3 and see if i was trying to hide its faults) or the overall quality of Tearaway and Soul Sacrifice, so do not try to alter the sense of my post shifting the focus of the discussion.

I pointed to your difference of treatment between VK3(it could have been any game) having crap graphics(i'm not saying it's not) and Ys, that graphics-wise is one of the worst vita games i played(even the crappy looking VK3 has objectively better models and textures and cleaner graphics).
You, that always have bad hyperboles for every game(even for the amazing looking Tearaway), never said anything negative about it, for me that i like equality of treatment it's really suspicious.

Should i suspect for double standards?

But as i said it's not just you, it seems to me like certain games or certain people opinions can't be contradicted.

So it seems that the UMVC3 is getting taken away from the PSN. If I buy the Vita version does it include all the DLCs? I'd like to have them all before the license expires.

Wow the framerate goes completely to shit on the final boss in Strangers Wrath. I guess the Vita can't handle it when they start breaking everything apart in the room. That aside it's generally a really good port and I'm just gonna say it. Killzone Mecenary isn't the best FPS on the Vita. Strangers Wrath is.

Holy crazy monkeys in space!! man, you are trying way too much. wow.

Anyway. double standards? for what? Like I said, the post wasn't for full impressions, you should just asked for me to post about it. and I left Vita threads in the time when the game got released so I didn't posted

You want me to talk about what bad in Ys Cel then just ask me on my full opinion on a game (then again you guys completely hate my posts so I do this less nowdays) but here are some bad things about ys Cel.

- UI are way too big for Vita screen.
- Pacing early on is weird, it went from fast to slow then got right
- Cliched starting story (amnesia hur dur) half the characters are generic.
- party rear touchscreen controlling need to die in a fire
- The graphics is not Vita standard(devs are also PC guys so you'll think they can do better) game suffer from Persona4 over blurry effect

But the game is pretty good. this is same with Soul Sacrifice. shitty graphics but Story and gameplay are good, and there is no point to mention that in a short list (I tried to keep short..I even said that in that damn post)

or maybe you think I can't talk about bad thing in games I like? I do it all times for games I absolutely love like Alice 2, Mirror Edge, The Witcher1/2, New Vegas, Demons' Souls Shenume, Folklore (yes my game of last gen, have bad sections and lazy textures work in places)..ect there is no game that don't have a flaw and I'm not someone who will keep negatives away.

Ooh, Guacameelee is tempting... Think it will be US PSN+ at some point?

EVERYTHING will be NA PS+ at some point.
And then people will ask when it's coming to PS+, because it's <month> and it's supposed to be free, but it's still full price... o_O

Do you want to play the game? (correct answer: YES!) Are you happy waiting for PS+ to do anything more than give you a discount? (correct answer: HELL NO!)

If you're doing it right, you'll be buying Guacamelee tomorrow. :p
The game is so fucking good that I rebought it on steam. And I randomly booted it up the other night because I wanted to see if I could get my DS4 to work with it (I did!). And 4 hours later, I'm 50% through the game and telling myself to stop playing because I need to go to bed. And then an hour later, I'm forced to stop because my controller battery died. It's *that* good. Others in here will back me up. :D

--

Can I buy the DLC now and just buy the game later so I can still have the DLCs when it's removed on the PSN?

Yes.
If you buy the DLC, it will add to your download/purchase list. So when you pick up the game at some point, you can then just find the items in your download list and get them on your Vita.
This is what I did when the R-Type games were removed from PSN -- and I had to go get PSP software to do it. (And it's why I'm extra salty that they don't work on Vita.)

Seriously? It's criminally cheap at this price point, just buy it instead of waiting. Show Sony that Vita owners buy games!

Vita owners used to buy games (remember that Ubi was happy about AC3:L, COD doing more than Wii U's COD and other games in 2012) the system used to have high attach rate. however I think Sony putting newer games in PS+ changed that and people started to buy less in 2013. (so it's kinda Sony's fault)

Don't forget to blame Vita Memory Card prices as well.

Thanks!

For anyone who'll be doing the same as me, the sale and the DLCs will end on December 17 for NA and December 19 for EU.

I can't believe I already bought it last week too. I should have waited on this amazing deal.

lol.

Guacamelee is GOTY material for me. The gameplay is just fun and perfectly executed. Everyone should just buy it :)
I only enjoyed Persona 4 Golden more this year on the Vita.

Hello everyone, I just got a Vita 5 mins ago from Amazon and I'm hoping it comes in the post before Christmas! I'm getting Tearaway and Little Big Planet with it and planning on getting PlayStation Plus; so what, if any, other downloads should I make sure to get? I'm in the UK.

Persona 4 golden. Say goodbye to 100 hours of your life.
 
So, I bought a physical copy of Tearaway at launch. I was just looking through my download list on the webstore and noticed Tearaway is in it. Hmmm?

Honestly, I'd rather pay $40 for FFX and another $40 for FFX-2 at retail for PS Vita...

Oh well, at least it's at retail in some form. Highly doubt I can fit FFX-2 on my 4GB memory card.

EVERYTHING will be NA PS+ at some point.
That's so naive and wrong it's not even funny.

Yeah I can see people stop buying games because of that (don't have a space or waiting to upgrade) but there are other things like the release inconsistency. in 2013 Vita got so many empty months of absolutely nothing then get multiple releases in the time frame as big ones on other platforms(KZ:M vs GTA5, Tearaway/Ys/SorSag vs Next Gen consoles) so Vita people might don't manage their money well. and also the full prices on PSN and the prices of new retail releases.

If sony would have saved tearaway for March it would have done much better.

Well, if sony would have marketed it at all it would had done much better too.

And I personally know a guy who didn't buy any digital games because he only had a 4gb.

PS all stars will come at some point, that is a given. I hope we don't get modnation though, we are getting a vastly superior kart racing game in sonic racing transformed as it is... we don't need a cheaply made rush job of a launch game in modnation as well.
ModNation is great. The only real issue is no online. Baffling, and stupid decision. But the core game of Road Trip is more fun than the original on PS3.

Especially stupid was the 'justification' being because no one played the horrible PSP game online. I wonder why, because it was a very shitty port of the PS3 version. Not it's own game (though it had a new mode). And the PSP's online was terrible by comparison to Vita.

Again... I was talking about graphics only, not full impressions on overall quality(in fact i don't doubt that Ys is a good game), and i used that post to point your hyperbole habit toward games graphics except Ys, that's the focus of my discussion, i repeat, the focus of my discussion is the hyperbole habit toward games graphics except Ys, your post itself is not the focus but only the starting point.
And again i'm not pointing to you alone since many people seem to be really sensitive to bad graphics but almost no one complained about Ys graphics.

Thanks everyone! I'd been intending to pick up Persona cus that's the game everyone always talks about and I've never played. Looks like that'll be my first buy then...

I'm actually happy about the FFX stuff. Physical copy of FFX makes me happy. Digital X-2 probably keeps cost of the entire thing down to $40. As long as the download isn't 5 or 6 GB or something massive it will be good.

I'm visiting my post office tomorrow to check on it, maybe they slacked off on having it in the mail box =_=

I'm gonna be away for a few days, if it arrives while I'm away that'd be great~

If FFX can fit in one Vita cart, then X-2 should;t be more than 4GB either.


Also, from the EU SE blog...

- No option for playing with the original soundtrack.
- Even if buying the Vita collection digitally, each game can be downloaded separately.
- Game looks 'stunning' on the Vita. Although he couldn't confirm if native res or not. Won't complain though, since U:GA runs at sub-native res (720x408) and still looks amazing to me.

Vitagaf, i need your help with some stupid trophy from nfs most wanted: i have to add three of you that have played the game to unlock it. Send me a pm with your id, or i'll send mine to you. Thanks.

PS: I hate multiplayer trophies so much.
 
Thanks everyone! I'd been intending to pick up Persona cus that's the game everyone always talks about and I've never played. Looks like that'll be my first buy then...
Also get a PS+ card and accumulate the free games while you play tearaway and Persona. By the time you finish Persona, the next big rpg, FFX and FFX-2, will probably be released and you can hop on that. If you really like niche rpgs, the Atelier series is great as well.

Oh, and of course, welcome to vita-gaf.

I dunno, ModNation on Vita is kinda ruined by the inconsistent frame rate to me at least. I'm glad I picked it up when it was super cheap on PSN, it's not worth a whole lot.

Sonic All Stars is embarrassingly good in comparison.

I don't disagree that Sonic is better. It's far better.

edit; finally top page. life is complete.

Buy Tearaway if you have a soul.

Also if you ever want a decent LEGO game on Vita, Legends of Chima: Laval's Journey is a solid one. Easy plat too.
