I know my reply is a tad late
But your post truly is filled with much hate

What more than the rhymes did your experience sour?
Did you play the game for more than an hour?

For the price that you paid you got a fair game
Your rambling rhymes to me are inane

I laughed.

I know a lot of people thought the rhyming was really forced, and it kind of was, but you have to look at it from a world-building perspective. Everybody in the Child of Light universe speaks in rhyme. They do so consciously and deliberately. It is the nature and structure of their language.

This is made clear because Rubella fails to speak in rhyme regularly, and she is always corrected by the other characters. It may not be natural, but it's part of the universe, and I appreciate it more as a fictional language convention than actual poetry.

Physical release of a JRPG on a niche platform nine months after the digital release?

Smells like a collector's item to me.

Fine by me, tbh.

So today it came out. Has anyone bought it yet? does it in fact not come with the DLC? Pics?

Seems like only Best Buy has it and none of my local stores in DFW have it in stock.
Probably online only too.

It'll arrive on Thursday.

I'm sure this late physical Vita port will sell tens of copies.

Yeah that would make sense, since I haven't seen any Youtube unboxing. Really, all I want to know is if comes with the DLC or if Ubisoft went all greedy on the NA release.

 

[Cloggerdude]

I'm going to wait a little bit, but I think I may pick a copy of this up. I always wanted to play the game anyway and it just might turn into a bit of a collector's item. We'll see...

What was the DLC anyway?
From what I remember, it was just gem packs that you can buy, which are more microtransactional... not any real content packs. There's no add-ons.

 

[Galdius]

Is it a Best Buy exclusive? This would be very strange. I don't think this game will sell very well and making it a BB exclusive would make things worse. I couldn understand if it was a Gamestop exclusive but a PS Vita Best Buy exclusive game is something very unusual.

Wasn't there some Golem party member you got via DLC?

The Golem Pack DLC adds a new companion and quests.

 

[Barajas_201]

Amazon has it in stock, no mention of DLC though.

 

[Haiiro Husky]

Gamestop seems to have it. Although it says it is low stock so I'm assuming they must have received less than 4. You guys can check there if you are interested in picking it up. I'll probably go and pick it up this weekend. Hopefully the DLC is intact.

I stand corrected!

I purchased and played it day 1 on wii u.
Loved it. Never even realized there was another character via DLC.

Yeah, saw it there today.
Nothing on the inside, or notice on the back about DLC.

 

[Ramune]

Thanks for the reminder. I'll pick it up by this weekend! If I can find it that is...

The way Amazon has it listed as "Standard Edition" leads me to believe no DLC unless the DLC is integrated in the cartridge... but I doubt Ubisolf would care enough to do that and give us a good product.

I preordered 2 copies from Best Buy for me and the lady friend. When stacked, we noticed that the spines were slightly different:

Plus front and back photos if you're interested:

 

[Hektor]

This is a really annoying game
The dialogue is basically entirely and utterly lame
The fact that it comes now in a box
This sentence is only here to rhyme the word "locks."

Nobody should buy this
Don't support this kind of inane crap with cash
"Cash" doesn't really rhyme with "this"
But Child of Light doesn't give a piss.

Your opinion is something i hate you for,
and it would probably be better if i would put you on ignore,
but on the other hand your post really did have style,
so i will keep you off of ignore, at least for a while.

Spoiler

Just kidding.

 

[zeopower6]

Really want a sequel or follow up.

I love the game, but I honestly thought it suffered from being sort of 'small' in scale and ambition (I'd have loved to see more, I'm saying).

I recall that they hinted at a sequel in some of the pages you collect... or maybe I was reading into it.

I need it.

This will be on a cartridge but it won't include the DLC:

Didn't know it had DLC. I'd be down for a physical copy for PS3, PS4, or Wii U. I will never buy a Vita.
