What is the buzz on this game in Japan? I want to know if it's the new monster hunter or if it was just a promising idea that isn't too great. I want to be excited.

It this skills-based like demon's souls/bayonetta or is it rpg-style, where your stats matter more than your reflexes? I know in demons/dark souls and bayonetta, you can grind for better stuff... but actual player skill is the most important thing, unlike (for instance) a traditional JRPG where it's stats-based and tactical thinking. Where does this fall in the spectrum?

Belzac posted:I would say it's a bit of a combination of both where you can substitute a lack of one by being really good at the other but ultimately you'll need to be strong in both to overcome the hardest challenges. There are "levels" in this game but they only affect 2 stats: damage and life. Then there are the spells themselves which you can build up getting duplicate copies and combining to make higher ranks. Finally there are seals which are how you focus your character to the playstyle you've built up. So you leveled neutrally (half life, half damage), got some strong melee skills, and put on seals that improve your melee damage. Hey, that's a nice kitted out character but if you're bad you're probably gonna get stomped by the bosses. Damage is very high in this game, so much so that most people seem to play glass cannons cause the difference from a 1 hit kill to a 2 hit kill are pretty minimal. Just don't get hit and lay on that damage. SOLD gently caress YES. Thanks for that. I found some import review which told you about the spells/monsters/etc but absolutely nothing about the gameplay.

Please add me (silkhorn on psn) to the OP friends list. I'm in NA and I'll be playing the demo, and almost certainly buying the game on day 1

Apparently all the psn work until about an hour ago was routine (? ) maintainance that went on for a while and became emergency maintainance. Only now can the store be updated. I think it has been updated this late before so I *am* expecting it to happen tonight. We'll see....

Since it's not up by now I suppose the best we can hope for is 'some time this afternoon, PST'

I had a lot of fun with this tonight. I only unlocked multiplayer an hour ago and had two games.
