Why does America get 128 page art book for Grand Kingdom but EU gets a lame 32 page one. And NIS America is no longer shipping to PAL countries. Lame. Hoping Play-Asia or some other online store will have them

Uppers looks like the Kenka Bancho game we deserve! The released combat videos look great. That's one game that I will import if there is no localization announcement. I am still bitter about the 3DS version not being brought over :(.

For digimon, grabbed it but haven't had a chance to play it. What about reddit posts that there are issues with voiceovers in later chapters as well as the missing DLC questline?

Eh, they're reporting straight from the horse's mouth so it's not so bad.

I wonder why it affected some Vitas and not others - mine was fine, and they seem to suggest in their request for contact that it isn't something they can easily figure out who will and won't be affected.

Yeah, I had concerns about mine, especially since I've been using it exclusively for Remote Play since my 8GB card died. Even with heavy usage on that front, my Vita battery life may have actually *improved* since switching back from my JP account. I did get the firmware update while my Vita was connected to the JP side of PSN; I don't imagine that matters a lot, but I wonder if Japan is experiencing the same Vita issue, or if it's an NA/EU-exclusive problem?

Isn't there that whole girl supporting mechanic? Not sure about pompadours but hey, this is as good as its going to get since Kenka Bancho 6 tanked in Japan on 3DS. Personally I think they picked the wrong platform for that game.

I guess the network issue was with the accounts and not the Vita itself? I had troubles connecting to the PS Store using my japanese account but I had no problems with my north american one.

Thanks, this worked.

The real problem turned out to be that I was searching for "me and my katamari" when the vita store really wanted me to search for exactly "me & my katamari (™)" and it wasn't smart enough to know the similarities.

Looks like Atlus has 4 games on sale, Gungnir, Hexyz Force, Riviera, and Yggdra Union. How are they? I've played Riviera on the GBA and it was not great, but not terrible. I've heard of Yggdra Union, but know about it past it's name.


How does the system handle switching data from one Vita Memory card to another? I don't mind losing the game data, as I can just re-download it, but how does it handle saves, like can I use a regular SD card to hold the saves, is there a slot for that?

Is there a way to back up a save game and then delete the game itself? I know on the 3DS if you delete a game it asks you if you want to make a save back up, but when I tried to delete the Demo for the Dungeon Travelers 2 game, it said it would delete the save as well.


And what is that second slot in the top for? One is obviously for the vita games, but there's a second tiny slot that I don't have the system manual to know what it does.

Copy to PC/PS3 with content manager, swap memory cards, copy back. This copies all data to the PC. To back up saves alone you need PS+

They're all Sting games, and since you've played Riviera you already know a bit of what their schtick is. Mostly trying to leave you confused as to how to play but they're alright if you can muddle through. It really depends on your tolerance for having to decipher their bullshit. You could look up a Youtube or something and see if the gameplay at least looks interesting. I've picked them up because they're dirt cheap but I've only barely gone through the intro to one of them.

Yggdra Union is pretty fun, but the early game is really hard, since you don't have access to skills for the first few battles. The game is one of the most unique strategy RPGs out there, though Knights in the Nightmare (which I'm surprised isn't on sale as well) is far more unique in that aspect.

Gungnir is a lot closer to a regular SRPG, and is a lot easier to get into.

Hexyz forceis an RPG instead of an SRPG, but I have barely play any of it.

Gungnir feels super slow

I think I played like 5 or 6 chapters and then I got to a forest map where you're surrounded and the chests looked kind of far away and I just said no thanks

The timeline thing was cool, but it felt like every single action took a while to resolve

do you like strategy rpgs? yggdra union is really really good, but comes with the standard sting caveat of "god drat use a guide for items"

Dunno, Uppers just looks like nothing but fighting thus far, unless I've missed something? I like the loving around parts in Bancho more than the fighting (and really, the smash talk more than the fighting, too).

Hexyz Force sorta feels like it has all the bad qualities of a Sting game (ridiculous amounts of obscure missable content, plot that's weird in a bad way) and not much of the good (innovative gameplay systems, plot that's weird in a good way). Yggdra Union's pretty good, though.

Buy any YS game, buy both Trails in the Sky games, buy Trails of Cold Steel

The regular Legend of Heroes games range from average to good. But none are as good as Trails in the Sky or Cold Steel.
