Correct. My friend got me a 2-day trial & I was able to nab Yakuza 4 & Transistor so theyr're on my account for when I get PS+ again. & yes, your game will still be available to play after your PS+ runs out if you bought it on sale. It's only unavailable if it's free on PS+.

Awesome, thanks! I think I am going to take advantage of that.
None of the localized vita Atelier games have physical copies, they're digital only.

Will def get Tales of Hearts R, been waiting for a discount on that one.
I'm deciding between SAO and Tales of Hearts R, both of these seem to rarely go on sale but they both seem to have botched translations lol.
I haven't played the game myself but I've heard from others that you should at least watch the first 14 episodes of SAO before diving into Hollow Fragment.

Going to get Battle Royale and maybe the Kat DLC if its not included.
I heard there was like some time limit or something?
Hmm okay that's interesting, not sure I want to get invested in an Anime to play the game. I'll keep that in mind.

Tales of Hearts R doesn't have a botched translation. They made some choices (with regards to names and some other minor things) that some people don't like but to someone who doesn't know Japanese, its fine.
SAO, on the other hand, looks like a machine translation. These are night and day situations.
Personally, I'd go with Neptunia Rebirth. Neither game has an award-winning story but at the very least HDN doesn't take itself seriously and the translation isn't cringeworthy even if some of the dialogue (in both games) is.
It might also sound like I didn't enjoy my Nep Neps from that tiny bit of text but I actually did. I just won't pretend its an awesome game. I can definitely see why someone would consider it less-than-stellar but I like it anyway.

What's the differences between the 3DS and Vita versions of VLR? I'm tempted to get it on sale here.
the Vita version doesn't have the save bug or something like that.
get the Vita version.

thank you Sony for remembering the Vita
and ... lol _hekk05 must be happy with the Atelier sale
Vita doesn't have a game-crashing bug, it looks slightly better, wider screen is helpful at times.

3DS has better touch controls, but it has the bug that can cause your save to go bye bye if you save in a puzzle room.
Vita version has trophys which means easy platinum if you 100% the game. Took me abou 30 hrs on the 3DS and I could barely put the game down.

My Impressions: everyone get Tales of Hearts R. After playing through it, it ranks as my #2 Tales Of series after Vesperia. Amazing game, and hilarious to boot. Loved it.

Dammit I want to get Tales Of Heart R but I'm broke at the moment...
Wow that good? I can't decide between tales and SAO ;_;
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/11/10/tales-hearts-r-quality-tales-game-localization-issues/Huh? I thought the ToH R translations were fine. Where'd you hear they were botched?
http://www.blade2187.com/2014/04/18/attn-namco-please-fix-these-things-in-hearts-r/
Basically you can tell Namco got a translation team that was not used to translating Tales games for this localization.
Among other issues there's no continuity with the rest of the series in terms of naming.
Also, even if you only know the slightest bit of Japanese, you can tell how much of what they are saying is not represented in the text.

It's more about crafting than anything else. You gather materials and combine them in an extremely deep crafting system with a bit of time management thrown in on top.

Yes sir/madam. I've played all available US Tales-Of series, and I loved Hearts R. It's not as good as Vesperia (Personally, I believe this is a flash in the pan, never to be repeated part of the series), but it is really funny, fun and easy to play, and I would recommend everyone snag it that hasn't already done so, what with the new PSN sale.

Hm, I've never had PS+ on my US account, any free trials floating around? That Tales of hearts price with PS+ discount is very tempting.

I'm a big fan of Resistance on Vita, story is great too.
Haven't gotten Killzone yet.
I like Resistance. Didn't like Killzone as much (at all, actually)

What region-locking situation? I wasn't aware that there was one at all?
Killzone Mercenary is one of the best games on the Vita
even better than its console brothers
you can only use one account at any time with the Vita - I guess that's what he means
He probably has a EU/JP/Asia account and would like to take part in the current sale.
There is no region locking, you just can't have two PSN accounts on the same amount memory card. It's a bit annoying, but nothing like 3DS, which is completely locked down.
