What's the best dungeon crawl rpg for a new player? I tried Soul Hackers on 3DS but it was a bit obtuse and difficult.

Demon Gaze on the Vita. It has a lot of QoL features over other similar games and it's not ridiculously hard or obtuse.

Cool guys. I think I'll go for the 64GB card after all. Seems like a decent way to make up for the loss of convenience I've incurred by getting the older Vita model. So I'll have to keep that charger around, but I'll never have to worry about space!

EDIT: are "Japan import" cards something I should avoid? There seem to be a lot of those.

64 GB only exists in Japan. You'll need to import one from there or buy from a local seller who did so.

Nope, you can get other cables that work fine online, and as long as the usb port you use it with supplies enough amps, the vita doesn't care.

Doesn't the cable has to have that proprietary end for the OLED Vita, though - I imagine that's the problem, the USB chargers themselves are generally more plentiful.

Getting consistent s ranks in Odin sphere feels awesome.

When is that possible on Hard?

I did a stage or two just starting out on Hard and got B ranks after getting hit once, and taking too much time to kill things. Does it even out once you've gotten a few levels up?

Yes you have to make sure you get a vita specific cable.

I am sorry my attempt at comical hyperbole made you think I believe the creator of tohou is literally Hitler. I must clarify that I am aware that Hitler is both dead and not a Japanese man.

Edit: IF Hitler was alive though he would be a touhou fan. This is unarguable truth.

As a dumb American still amazing to me that they can actually sell a thing like that and don't have to answer to anyone. Though I am guessing trying to escape lovely licensing laws is a big part of why Touhou ever took off in the first place.

"All this, for me? 💃Ah, you didn't have to! 🥰"
Kind of a specific question but for those that have played both Dragon's Crown and the Odin Sphere remake:

If I were interested in playing both, is there a better one to play first (mostly with regards to QOL stuff)? Odin's Sphere is a PS2 game but the Amazon page mentions "The controls and mechanics refined in Dragon's Crown have been fine-tuned and carried over to Odin Sphere Leifthrasir" which makes me think playing Dragon's Crown first would be the better choice? Or are the mechanics basically the same?

I just don't want to play the "wrong" one first and have it end up diminishing my enjoyment of the game because it feels too clunky or inconvenient compared to the other one. I'm guessing it probably doesn't really matter, but I figured I'd ask first to make sure!

They are very different games. Have you played Muramasa Rebirth?

Dragon's Crown is a multiplayer game and Odin Sphere is not. Play DC if you have friends to play it with, otherwise ignore it and play Odin Sphere.

Tbh they are very different games, but I'm sure the more straightforward nature of Dragon's Crown would make you care for it less than OS.

Yeah, I'm actually finishing Muramasa up right now. I wanted a new...brawler? to play after I finished the story and maybe one of the DLCs.

If Dragon's Crown is super multiplayer-focused, I might grab that on PS3 instead (assuming there's local multiplayer and not just online).

DC isn't super MP-focused but it's short and designed for multiple playthroughs and the co-op makes it a lot more fun.

Just get Odin Sphere.
