drat, Atelier Ayesha is a hell of a lot harder than E&L was. Fortress was hardcore but I did beat him and that felt good

Yeah, I didn't manage to beat all the super bosses on my first playthrough. I really enjoyed how you actually had to explore the world to find everything you needed to get the 'better' endings.

For those not yet on the EDF train: Get it. Unless you have a lump of coal in place of your heart it will be fun for you.

Also, rush through the missions on easy to get to Pale Wing ASAP. She really makes the game shine in every way, by allowing you to go everywhere in a level and usefully flank groups of enemy mobs.

In Japan, probably. Vita has not broken the 10m mark globally though.

Globally, the Vita hit 12 mil last year and is a bit over 13.4 mil now. The Wii U is around 12.8 mil.

I got the PS4 EDF and since it would take approximately 1000 hours to do everything in that game decided I didn't need another one right away.

yeah, it can do that. there's also some ps3/vita games with that capability. but you can also transfer stuff between the two over wifi or usb so you don't need psplus to do that.

Sorry, I guess I was mistaken about the psplus cloud saving thing (only lets you upload Vita and ps3 saves... which is stupid) but you can absolutely sync the saves over local wifi. Use the content manager and you can send the memory card back and forth or store it on your PC. Sorry to mislead you but I was SO sure you could :(

Hahaha oh man this 64GB is worth the price of admission in that I can have virtually every Vita/PSP/PS1 game I own and could ever feasibly want go play stored on it together. Downloaded everything and I still have 14 GB left over. I dunno when I'll get around to playing both of the TitS games but they're both gonna be on my memory card forever!

I feel like customizing this with themes now, does anyone have a link to a good Vita theme site?

Back in the old thread most of them (like one post every hundred pages) was about a 64 gig except for the time it was a 32 and I think one time it just turned out the guy forgot to push his 64 card in all the way. In either case my vita has yet to explode so it's all good at the moment.

I don't see why. If it's :filez: you're concerned about, there's not anything wrong or illegal about homebrew applications, including emulators. I didn't ask you for dumps of your game cartridges or anything.

I see. Oh, well. I was kind of hoping that getting a Vita would mean I could offload all of my PSP's functions to the new device.

Thanks. That's currently one of my PSP Go's duties. I just figured it might be cool to give that to my roommate when I pick up the Vita.

The Vita is very deliberately designed to be the opposite of the PSP in regards to the massive amounts of homebrew.

There's a generous character limit for naming one's Digimon(s?)


np: McDougal

Could a real Digi-dudette please tell me whether or not a Neutral mon gets an attack bonus for using a Neutral type attack, and what the INT stat does?

INT determines magical attack and magical resistance. you can check in a skill's description whether it's physical or magical. early on you won't have much choice in what attacks you give your mons, but it's still good to pay attention to which will be most effective in battle.

To answer your other question, no, there's no bonus for using the same type. Neutral attacks aren't too useful as a result, though they can still do bonus damage through elemental weaknesses. They make good tanks, though, since there's no way for them to be hit with double or triple damage -- slap some support or heal skills on there and let them back up your damage-dealers.

e: there are some good early game neutral attackers, like stingmon (has a fixed damage attack, which utterly decimates some bosses).

Non-elemental attacks do have a higher base power than the elemental ones, at least. So if you're not able to hit a weakness there's no reason not to use them if you have them available.

There's one negative review of it, that lambasts it for, of all things, lacking touch screen controls, since the dude played the iOS version first. Other than that the fps apparently go down a bit in hectic situations, and the sound is optimized for headphones.
