Is it on the PSN? Do you have a link to the website version?

I found it through the vita ps store. Can't find it on the web.

This is the link I get in the download list https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/ja-jp/cid=JP0700-PCSG00264_00-SRWFIRSTDLGAME00

Hm, yeah. It isn't on the website or PS3 store yet.

Play-Asia hasn't shipped mine yet so if it shows up before they do I think I'm just gonna bite the digital bullet.

Edit: For comparisons sake the Saisei-Hen PSN copy is 1345MB

It's a good thing I ordered a physical copy rather than buying it digitally. I have finals to worry about, then I can waste my time destroying everything with Bonta-kun.

Play Asia shipped mine last night. Despite getting quick shipping it will still take a week to arrive according to FedEx.

I expect the PS3 version to appear on the PS store in an hour or two...and then take loving five hours to download and another hour to install. Still, it's marginally faster than having it mailed to me.

Crossing my fingers hoping it gets a digital release on the Asia PSN. We got Infinite battle and Dark Prison so ideally they'll give us this too. Else I'll have to wait till my friend is back from Japan to play it.

Those people are terrible because Unicorn's soundtrack is amazing and that song's one of the best from it.

I agree, it's just that the in-game rendition of Mobile Suit is not as good as the original. The strings don't have as much depth and the brass is tinny.

Still, I'm grateful that the song made it into the game at all!

And now I proceed to refresh the Japan Post website at hourly intervals.

To people saying that its on the Vita store, and saying the web store updates at a different time than on the PS3...why the hell don't they all update at the same time? They're all just different expressions of the same underlying content, right? What kind of mickey mouse operation are they running over there?

edit: I give up; I'll have to check again tomorrow morning. Stupid Japanese internet incompetence.

So, this DLC equip part, the Otodi Fencer(sp?) is pretty crazy.

It gives: 100% Sword Cut activation rate, unit gains the Spiritual Fortitude skill, and evasion decay and placement are nullified.

Anyone with a PS3 copy already, can you tell me anything about the audio quality?

I might be over reacting here but to me it sounds like they really compressed a lot of the audio on the Vita version. Of course all of this is based on my paranoia about them announcing a physical version due to "better compression" a while after stating that it would be digital only. Well that and I actually think the audio sounds compressed/tinny on the vita, of course again I could be batshit crazy.

For those playing, some of the early SR points are up on akurasu. There's also some info on Custom Bonuses, which are like the unique Full Upgrade Bonuses, but you get them automatically when a robot is upgraded half-way. Seems pretty cool! Now I just need to decide whether to get the PS3 or Vita versions....

Huh. Custom Bonuses being cheaper to get is actually a nice change. It makes it viable you might get them on weaker units.

I couldn't remember the credentials to my ancient japanese PSN account so I tried to create a new one today using this guide: http://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/02/how-to-make-a-japanese-psn-account-on-the-new-psn/. It seemed to be going well except I got a gray box after the checkbox for newsletters but before what seems like should be the confirmation step in the process. I barely read Japanese but it said something beginning with "Support" in Katakana. I accidentally cancelled and now the ID I tried to setup seems to give an error but I never received a confirmation email either. I wish I had taken a picture.

I guess I'll try again after work today.

Oh wow, I actually think I commented that the old "mecha specific FUB bonus" should really be at 50% instead of 100% because it really isn't worth it FUBing many units, and now they actually did went ahead and did it.

I'm liking how this game is making such system changes to the core when its been unchanged from quite some time.

Though the Invincible nerf seems odd. I always thought Flash was the more overpowered one because of its cheaper SP cost.

This is actually fairly similar to what UX did. Each unit had bonus stats that applied to the whole squad and the bonus would level up when the pilot became an Ace or you upgraded the stats by 50%.


Also some of the assets being re-used in Z3 are really obvious. The older portraits look very blurry compared to the new ones, while some of the new ones either look bad or off model. Also can't say I like how some of the new UI elements look like.

enemy one body to the proximity Zan attack discard the power slap hit.
The damage numbers and the HP displays in combat look incredibly out of place, in my opinion.

Also, animation skips seem to have regressed to MX levels of speed.

I was able to find it through the genre sub-menus, at least I think that's what they are...

Looks like we get one of the DLCs for free? I don't recognize these other two things it threw at me for purchasing. An hour long download for my game. That's an improvement from usual PSN speeds.

Maybe the inevitable Z3-2 will add back in everyone who is MIA.

If we really want to dream, maybe Z3-2 will be about everyone who's missing plus a bunch if new series. Then everything is mashed together in a blender of mecha-goodness in Z3-3! I can dream, right?

Trip report for those who love music:

You can override the Maximum Break theme (WOOT).

Also the custom music selection is done via in game through the normal music change feature. You just get an entire section in the music list for all your custom music. Seems to be no extra load time associated with using these and the preview works and everything. Even has plenty of screen space on the PS3 to display really long track names so I'm right at home.

Seems to normalize volume to an extent so it's in line with all the other music too (this was my biggest fear).

Ahhhh Storm, you never sounded more RIGHT as a Getter theme...

[e] Although not being able to use my L-Stick in the PS3 version is a bit criminal, yikes.
