Glad Yokai is here to feel the gap left after Pokemon ORAS. I imagine if Z is happening it's probably coming in Spring 2016.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Was not expecting Cadin to be given. Actually, by the anime's logic ...

Spoiler

he died while in my pocket. Oops!

Edit: No picture option on Miiverse. Nooo...

 

[Schadenfreude]

I see the terrible opening song they first showed us made a comeback in the game.

 

[Vinland]

Great OT! I am really starting to think this may be my new lunch break game. Looks kooky and fun.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I am enjoying it more than the demo since you are not overpowered and can use items.

Trying to recruit is tough, got 2/3.

 

[ShikabaneHime13]

Who's gonna play as bad bitch Katie instead of wimpy Nate? And can you rename your character?

Me! My daughter plan to use her as well and my son wil, of course, opt for Nate. They spent the last couple weeks gaggling with excitement

 

[GuitarGuruu]

Is this out tonight on the eshop or no?

 

[TheSlySoul]

Yep, out right now in NA. Enjoy.

Good deal, gonna snag it now. Man. This, Fallout, and the new XIV patch are going to be keeping me busy on top of everything else going on. What a great time to be a gamer.

Add on top of that that Call of Duty, Guitar Hwro, and Assassin's Creed are all apparently they best they've been in years. I don't have time for all this

And Bloodborne DLC this month!

 

[TheSlySoul]

My strategy of giving the Yo-Kai an item each battle seems to be paying off. Got 7 now...

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Pokemon will always be my main hoe, (and I really hated the battle system in Yokai's demo) but I'm really intrigued by the prospect of a simple, cute story revolving around quirky designs of Japanese folklore monsters.

So, essentially lukewarm on the game, but still tempted.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Is it bad that I'm thinking about getting this because the localization's setting is really close to where I grew up? I'm pretty sure I've played soccer in like the closest town to here.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I hope the OST gets released, I want the summoning themes. Mysterious is my favorite.
Edit: Komasan will be mine!

[Tyeforce]

Does this game have multiple save files? I'd guess not, but I'd like to be wrong. =P

Actually it has 3. So kids can share.

Whaaaat?! That's awesome! Good to know, my husband and I were about to buy two copies, lol.

 

[Benzychenz]

Somewhat glad that NA gets this a month earlier than AU, you can all be beta testers and tell me what you think of it in a month

 

[TheSlySoul]

The bonus scenes are great. I got my first Boo. Poor Dismareida! She cannot perform.

 

[Meffer]

I'm really enjoying this. I've only played 2 but it's great playing this in english.

 

[tirkaroKujo]

Bout an hour in so far, this actually is kinda like SMT, huh.

Game is super charming as expected, kinda easy so far, but I'm not terribly far in so I can't quite judge that yet.

I'm also a terrible little girl who can't pay attention to the traffic at all.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Apparently you can recruit a powerful Yo-Kai doing it plenty. Not gonna try yet.
Edit: Boss 2 down, was tough since they kept loafing.

 

[Kitoro]

Will Yokai and/or any progress be transferable to the sequel?

 

[TheSlySoul]

Think I got recruitment.
Three lines means I think 1/3 chance to recruit and heart is 2/3 chance.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

So I assume unlike Pokemon, you're not supposed to simply keep the same team of your favorites, and like SMT you should switch them around---but when is a good time to switch them?

Really fun game though, with a LOT of content it seems. Still kind of confused about the little bits of the battle system like how weaknesses work, is there a type chart or do you have to trial-and-error each individual Yokai.

 

[TheSlySoul]

This boss fight was great. I am loving it so far.
Edit: Wonder if reviewers knew pressing X will fast forward battles. Probably not...

 

[Meffer]

You can't transfer them, but the this game will give you goodies in the next one.

Just use whatever Yokai you like. You get and buy orbs that give EXP when used so you can level up Yokai that need the boost. Quests also give decent EXP when completed.

What kind of goodies?

 

[Possumowner]

Cant wait to play this,well the wife cant.

 

[Newtype-001]

still waiting on that eu date.

 

[Flintty]

Awesome OT, good job Kubus!

I really want to try the demo for this before I buy though. EU demo pls!!

 

[Sinople]

That's the real downer. I just spent 2 hours to find the item needed to recruit

Spoiler

Kyuubi

. No way I'm doing it again in the sequels.

 

[justgames7604]

Godamn it Nintendo we Australians speak English just like Americans. Just do away with region locks ffs. We would all get games sooner.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Played 4 hours and gonna go to sleep.
Overall I think I would agree with Destrutoid's 85/100.

You can get her in the gashapon. Sooner or later.

 

[Vuze]

My US copy should arrive today (based region-free)! Hyped for the game, tried the Japanese version but then it came to my knowledge that they'll localise it, so I decided to wait.

 

[AnkiRendan]

I watched some episodes of the English anime and found it highly enjoyable, but I didn't want to bite the bullet at 50 bucks (Canada)...

But now I really want to play after looking at the list of Yo-Kai. I really like some designs like Thornyan.

Can we get away with using unevolved Yokai?

 

[Persona7]

I might get this for the target buy two get one free in a few days.

 

[poutmeter]

My friend got me the game and I've been playing it since the early morning. It's quite charming and while I thought I might get bored during the fight, it's actually quite hectic and there's always something to do -unlike the demo, where I sometimes ended up just watching the Yokais do their thing.

I just wish I wasn't so bad at catching bugs!

Ha ha! Bug catching and fishing take a little practice but soon enough it'll become easier once you get used to timing your button press

 

[Randomly Nameless]

I was pleased to find out that Cadin is your "starter" Yo-kai. I was not expecting that at all, I thought it would be Jibanyan. Cadin is one of my favourite Yo-kai thus far, judging by the english show and the demo, so I'm totally happy.

I also didn't realize that you could nickname Yo-kai. I'm just sticking with the default names for now so that I can learn them better.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Can we get away with using unevolved Yokai?

Yeah because evolution is completely user controlled. No level based.
You can fuse with items to evolve.

Just waiting for my mailman to arrive......

Sweet! I like Komasan more than his evolved form.

[Choomp]

Pretty hyped to play this. Love Level 5 and the game looks really cute, could be something to try and fill my 3DS void for the time being.
