I was totally going to order it until I noticed the price tag was 80 dollars. Christ, are all imports like that, or is just because it's the pre-order?



Is it going to be on the Japanese PSN? If so you could do a game share with another person for ~$40 apiece.



[e] Iggy and Fugo are coming as dlc characters.

I hope Fugo's gimmick is throwing the match and leaving if his health falls below 50%.

Geez, if they keep up these DLC announcements I'm going to have to basically buy half of another new game once I get the dang thing.

It's cool to have more characters but to announce so many as additional before release seems a bit much. I guess I'm out of touch with new gaming practices.

Speaking of Fugo, is there a reason for him getting written out of Part 5's story other than Purple Haze being difficult to incorporate into fights? What a shame.

From what I heard Araki just considered his stand overpowered, so he wrote him out of the story.

I honestly found it kinda cool, actually. You don't often see people on the protagonist's side in these kinda stories go "gently caress that poo poo, I don't wanna die fighting impossible odds". It's a surprisingly reasonable stance when the genre standard is everyone deciding to fight for friendship or what have you after ten seconds of thoughts.

That actually comes up in one of the part 5 light novels from memory. In fact, there were a couple about him, which is pretty boss (though I only know the outline from reading the summary on the JoJo wiki.)

Here's the trailer for the new DLC characters! Looks pretty awesome. Nice to hear you in the game, Usopp.

EDIT: Iggy talks? Inner monologues I guess. I like that you can choose his ugly first introduction design though! Also THIS IS BAOH. I just finished SBR, now I have to read/watch Baoh too!

Iggy is voiced by Shigeru Chiba, which I'm for because Iggy sounding like an annoyed old man is perfect, and Fugo is voiced by Hisao Egawa.

Also, I like that Iggy gets to turn The Fool into Shadow Dio from the Part 3 game. I hope that becomes a trend.

Actually Iggy created a fake sand Dio to fool Vanilla Ice in the manga, I'm pretty sure that's what they're referencing rather than the old fighting game.

He did, but the Dio we see Iggy use looks exactly like the Shadow Dio sprite down to the blanked face. I don't buy that as a coincidence.

Fugo before being written out was originally planned to be Diavolo's mole which would have been cool if it has panned out.

Shigeru Chiba?! As in Buggy the Clown and the Gaburevolver? That's awesome! I hope he gets a few screamy lines in addition to his ornery grumping.

As for Shadow Dio, it could be a reference to the game but I think both the old game and this are both drawing from the same images of Dio that we'd seen in the manga prior to Dio's official reveal. Iggy copied that design in the manga as they hadn't shown off what Dio really looked like, right?

Man, while Fatty's a pretty cool character, I'd rather have Okuyasu's brother in the game. Instead of having regular tiny dudes, you'd play as a TINY INFANTRY DIVISION :getin:

Ah, you're right. I had forgotten that they fought Vanilla Ice before Dio put on a shirt showed his face to Polnareff, and that he also just had a blanked face in the manga instead of being covered by shadows from the environment. The attack the sand copy makes is even the same vague chop he tries to use.

If I looked at it right, that date at the end says, "All DLC Characters Half Price until September 25th." Diego will be announced on the 26th.

Also, ASB League ended with Jotaro vs. Dio. Dio won and is now the King of JoJo. Other than that, though, they had a demo match for Iggy and Fugo.

And an exhibition match between the voice actors and their characters, except Hermes is played by Kendo Kobayashi.

Does that mean half price as in 300 yen instead of the shown 600 yen, or is the 600 yen price already half off and they're normally 1200 yen? Because the latter would be absurd.

It only says half price, but I assume 300 yen during that period. I hope so at least. I'm interested in Iggy, and there are probably some other characters planned that I'll end up wanting, but I'm not paying ~$12 a piece for them.

According to a comment on that video:
"So people managed to check the data in the ISO of the game, and found slots for Annasui, Lisa Lisa, Vanilla Ice, Old Joseph, Iggy, Fugo, Baoh, Fatty and Kira. There should still be 9 more characters after that, so they'll most likely be added in patches."

I mean who knows, maybe the dude was bullshitting, but I want to believe!

That I agree with. I'm only interested in Annasui if he sets a precedent for FF getting in too.

Someone made a Nico video of every Josuke hair insult. There's also a demo for his super hair insulted mode at the very end.

Alongside that, someone made a Nico video of every "Your next words are" pulled on the cast by Joseph. I'm not solid enough with Japanese to tell you what most of them are. I am solid enough to tell you that Joseph pulling a WRRRYYYY on Dio is kind of awesome.

I've never been able to figure out Nico, though I'm sure there's tutorials out there, but I am inhumanly excited about the spoilered bit. This game can't get to me fast enough. Also holy poo poo, the Japanese are fast.
