I have so much trouble starting DR2. It seems to be vastly different from DR1. I guess i should just keep going with it. Also got spoiled just by seeing a picture of a figurine from DR2. Hope that that isn't major.

New Vita firmware 3.63 is up.

If you're on 3.60 or lower don't update obviously unless you want to lose homebrew / :filez:

If you're on 3.61 and missed the earlier exploit, I'd not update.

Just don't update unless you absolutely need something.

Helluva blink of an eye going from what you were doing into the credits but I was okay with the way Half-Life 2 did it, I'm okay with this one. Would have been pissed to wait until October for the sequel had I picked this up in January though. Games weren't better before, the good ones just got rare. I've played many serious business all-serious games with stories going nowhere near this deep in thought and detail. It really stands out, quality piece, if there was a flag to check for skipping cutscenes and conversations (beyond hammering X/O) I'd go grab myself the platinum in appreciation of it.

Final chapter notes: Dug the mad dimension of madness and its boss, another one that felt fair and balanced (and easy). Really great encounter tuning I think, nothing like Star Ocean 5. Adorable lovely scenes of festival and dance. Then Garrelia Fortress, we get that figured out in the sequel right? And then everything on the day of the radio broadcast, WOW. Two losses at the final fight until I figured it was meant to have you playing it safe and using Morning Moon whenever up.

I'm going to miss it now that I'm done :smith: 5/5 actual best reason to get a cheap PSTV if you see one on the shelf
(58% of trophies, 73h40m on the clock, played over 17 days, no sensation of time being wasted by design or backtracking like Star Ocean loving 5 which still took 28 hours for my slow rear end)

Generally anything that mentions Crossbell is actually handled in a completely different game, you're basically just seeing the side effects of another JRPG going on at the same time.

The Bad People are basically a franchise-long villain group. You kick part of their asses but they remain in the background.

Crossbell stuff becomes more critical in ToCS2 though you never really need to know it. You'll get spoilers for the ending and one of the segments of ToCS2 is clearly intended to have more punch for people who played the Crossbell arc but to my understanding the same is true in reverse, parts of ToCS are spoiled in the Crossbell games, just with less context since Crossbell came first.

Trails is an incredibly ambitious game franchise for what it is. It doesn't always hit but it at least attempts things that are not really something you ever see in a JRPG franchise. Even just the idea of ToCS is interesting in that your entire cast are from an expansionist empire who are actively involved in dirty dealings with their neighbors without your protagonist's first response being "Hmm, that's kind of lovely, let's rebel!"

I love the politics of this series. Nearly every faction in every nation has its terrible people. I was also amused at how often the conversations among my group of anime teenagers turned into taxchat.

Everything Vita-only shows up on my PSTV store, but if something is not compatible with PSTV, it is stated in the (web)store, that's what I see so far.

Well I don't see any language like that anywhere on the web site... luckily that also revealed that there's a demo, so I'll just try to run that on the thing instead to confirm it'll be okay.
