What a missed opportunity, instead of using the lame FFXV cover on the big in Japan image they should've used Punished Noctis face right next to Big Boss's.

 

[Benedict]

Of all the "cheap" JRPGS in the sale for PS4, which should I get?
I'm thinking about Fairy Fencer F Advent Force.

 

[jombag]

This is a better vita selection than the NA sale. What the hell sony.

 

[Eridani]

Both brilliant titles. Pick them both up.

World Tour was the first PS3 game, whilst EG was the Vita port, and had some gameplay improvements over WT. WT is better graphically yet EG plays a little better.

Hours and hours of fun for such a small cost and will get you up to speed for the new one.

Thanks. Just looking to use up some leftover credit so I'm not going to pick up both, but it's nice to hear they are both great.

As far as i remember that one is not so good

 

[Filthy Casual]

Damn, might have to bite on Yakuza at that price but I already have too many games to get through! Ughhh

 

[Benedict]

Guess I'll wait a bit regarding most PS4 games and concentrate on my Vita this sale.


Purchased:
Growlanser Wayfarer of Time
MGS Peace Walker
Assault Suit Leynos
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II

Hope to see Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky SC and Brandish on sale next time.

 

[PshycoNinja]

Final Fantasy XV is on sale too... I highly recommend that and for it to be featured in the OP.

 

[Auxiliary Bro]

Gaaahhhhh. I already have a Switch coming later this month for Splatoon, I really shouldn't bite on any more games even though I really want Yakuza.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Guilty Gear Revelator worth it? It's an outdated version now isn't it?

 

[FlynnCL]

This is the sale I've been waiting for. Definitely gonna get Danganrompa, Exist Archive and a few other Vita titles. Might get Yakuza 0...

I recommend people to try out Steins;Gate if they want an absolutely stellar introduction to visual novels. The Atelier Arland trilogy for £14.99 is also a fantastic price.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Ugh =/ Still worth a buy or should I rather play the original PS2 release?

There was a patch for the game (though I can only say for certain that the US version got one), but it only says "improved stability". From the little bit that was talked about it on GameFAQs it seems it fixed most of the crashes. I haven't played through the game myself yet, though.

 

[Filthy Casual]

Does anybody happen to play Verdun on PS4? I'm in interested in the game but it's probably a ghost town isn't it.

Atelier Sophie or Odin Sphere

 

[RodzTF]

Thanks. Just looking to use up some leftover credit so I'm not going to pick up both, but it's nice to hear they are both great.

In that case, pick up the latest one (Everybody's Golf). Should still have a little bit of an online community going.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Nothing crazy...

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

How is Root Letter on PS4? Looking for a visual novel with puzzles that aren't too obscure etc. I would rather have it on Vita, but my main PS account is American and don't really fancy switching accounts.

 

[veryslowhand]

Do I buy yakuza?

I enjoyed it. It's probably mostly designed as advertisement for tourists, but it's still a nice and relaxing game. Some of the bad endings are a bit stupid, but the "true ending" route is actually really well done. No harem stuff either.

Do I buy yakuza?

You probably will.

 

[Wichu]

Grabbed Ar nosurge, Arland trilogy, Atelier Sophie, Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2, Dragon Quest Builders, and P4D for £75. Maybe I overdid it a bit, considering I only have a 16GB memory card

Not sure if there's anything else I should get.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Do I buy yakuza?

Yes is the only right answer.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Not sure if there's anything else I should get.

With all those you should be busy for a couple of months.

 

[_Ryo_]

Man, if these were physical Id definitely buy a few. Dont have net where im staying so yeah.. :

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Does Resi 7 have much replay value? Is it totally linear? I've heard it's really short.

 

[MrS]

Is Salt and Sanctuary free for anybody else? UK here and it shows as free for me.

 

[Wichu]

With all those you should be busy for a couple of months.

Haha, yeah. I've already got a sizeable backlog, so maybe buying a bunch of long JRPGs was a mistake

 

[Stallion Dan]

Vita prices such a joke to start these prices hardly be called good.

 

[tsab]

I have Odin Sphere on ps3 (ps2 classic), which I havent played a lot yet.
I was thinking of buying the new version and playing that. Should I buy the ps4 version? PS3's half price makes it even more enticing.

 

[soheil]

Buy Yakuza 0

Yeah the remake is solid and the PS3 version is fine, lots of new content and changes etc over the PS2 original

I prefer the new version, even if only because the original was nearly unplayable durring lagging boss battles.

Hey, why are only the Persona 5 Izanagi & Orpheus DLC on sale!?

 

[GeekMarty]

YakuzaGAF, please help!

Got Yakuza 0 in January. My first Yakuza. Fuckin loved it.
Now I'm waiting for Yakuza Kiwami to hit in localized form.

Can I buy Yakuza 4 and 5 and still enjoy them without knowing what happens in Kiwami, 2 and 3?

 

[Gintamen]

Can I buy Yakuza 4 and 5 and still enjoy them without knowing what happens in Kiwami, 2 and 3?

Of course you can, but I would say it's much more enjoyable to see the story unfold from 1 to 5, especially since characters reappear and change over time. Mashima developed so much from 1 to 0 too.

 

[Zalman]

How do the PS1 Final Fantasy games play on Vita? Worth bothering? I know they're 50hz, but I don't know how different they feel.

Edit: Same question for MGS1. Only played the NTSC version, but I'd love it on a handheld.

Yes buy them. I havent played 1-2 but I enjoyed 3 and 4. There is a "short" video showing the story you missed.

 

[JonnyKong]

In the end I bought Sexy Brutale and N+

£15 notes for the two of them, not bad.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Ys Origins worth it? Better on PC?

Dariusburst is 80% off, holy crap.

Also Caladrius Blaze!

Thanks for the advice!

I just realized that Kiwami is due to release late August (which is basically the day after tomorrow). I'll buy 4 and 5 now, but wait for Kiwami to arrive. Then probably watch a cutscene compilation of 2 and 3 before diving into 4 and 5.

 

[Beeblebrox]

Anyone knows what are the differences between Metal Slug 3 and Metal Slug 3 in Metal Slug Anthology?

Basically, I wanna know if I'm missing anything by getting just Anthology.

 

[SugarDave]

Bought Yakuza 5, Flower, flOw and Parasite Eve II.

I was tempted by Odin Sphere too but really prefer to try and get most games physically. How is the Vita version anyway?

 

[Aselith]

You'll be getting a hot garbage version of the game if you buy Anthology as it runs like shit and has a lot of input delay.

I've heard the standalone are better but cannot confirm.

4 has a story summary of the previous games.

 

[Anung]

Is Edith Finch worth that price or holding out for cheaper?

 

[GetDigitized]

Is Edith Finch worth that price or holding out for cheaper?

Might end up being free on ps plus, the unfinished Swan their other game was free on plus.
It comes down to do you want to play it in the next couple of months or can you wait. Nobody can say if it'll go lower since discounts depend on the type of game, how well it's recieved, sales & publisher /developer and they don't have much of a history.
The unfinished Swan went much cheaper than Edith is now.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

Languages: Japanese audio with English subtitles (NA | EU | AS) | Japanese audio with Traditional Chinese subtitles (AS) | Japanese (JP)

Yes it does. Actually it only includes Japanese audio.

Yep, although not every line is fully voiced.

Thanks for the quick answers folks!

I ended up picking it up before going to bed last night.

I always heard great things about the game but I really never play games on my handhelds, so finishing a RPG is a long shot on Vita. Was pretty annoyed that the PS4 version never released here even in digital form.

I just finished Persona 5 last weekend so a more light-hearted JRPG is exactly what I want at the moment!

Now to decide if there is anything else that I should pick up...

 

[Gunkankun]

Is road to boruto worth it for someone who played through the main game, traded it in and is looking at the expansion and some online brawls?

 

[Zambayoshi]

Vita prices such a joke to start these prices hardly be called good.

Not sure if serious. This is one of the best Vita game sales I can remember on EU PSN.

Bought way too much considering my backlog, but I'll get around to playing them all one day. I'd better buy another Vita as a backup for when I wear out my first three.

 

[pbayne]

Sale would have perfect for me if the dusk aetlier games were on sale.

Yes they are two different games, the one you should consider is Future Tone Bundle which includes the Colourful Tone and Future Sound packs which basically are the core game in itself. You can download Future Tone for free and try out one of two songs I believe before purchasing any of the packs.

Cheers. Been a good while since i played a miku game.

YakuzaGAF, please help!

Now I'm waiting for Yakuza Kiwami to hit in localized form.

Can I buy Yakuza 4 and 5 and still enjoy them without knowing what happens in Kiwami, 2 and 3?

Yes. Play Yakuza 4 and 5, IMO you don't even need to watch the recap but if you want to, there's nothing really wrong with it.

Yakuza 4 was the best entry point into the series before Y0, as it introduced 3 new protagonists, a whole new cast of characters and antagonists with a fresh new story. Yakuza 5 however assumes you know the characters so you have to play Y4 before Y5.

The stories are all standalone enough that you can get away with skipping some games in the franchise so you should be all good to go

Just remember that Y4 and Y5 are older games than Y0, and are still PS3 games so don't expect a technical marvel. Also, be wary of series burnout as Yakuza 5 in particular is L-O-O-O-O-N-G.
