The street date broke in Japan so someone streamed the Vita version (direct feed) for a few hours earlier.

Here's the archive: http://www.twitch.tv/hamayama/b/434083566
- The Amazon has a dive kick.
- The Elf has what looks like a double jump.
- The Wizard has a teleport.
- The Fighter has flurry styled attacks and a backdash.
- Some of the AI controlled party members have questionable AI.
- The narrator and most of the ancillary characters are voiced in English.
- Getting hit too many times will knock your weapon out of your hands.

There are a bunch of Twitch streams going on right now.

The main complaints I've found elsewhere are:
- Higher difficulties are very grindy because it rewards having higher character stats than player skill. Bosses get a significant jump up in levels.
- There's not enough content once you've seen all 9 stages because stages are relatively short. You're going to be repeating a lot of dungeons regardless of route. People are getting burned out around the 15-20 hour mark.
- Shorter stages + Touch controls = the game seems to be designed for the Vita. Might just be Vita owners trying to get more people to play with on their platform :v:

Haven't seen anything about the netcode, but I haven't noticed anyone lagging out or dropping inputs from livestreams with full online parties.

Here's a solid video review that also serves as an overview of the game mechanics.

I'm getting it for :10bux::10bux::10bux: because Amazon honored my $29.99 preorder when it was being published by Ignition in 2011. :c00l:

Reminder for those posting PSN ids: just add your info to the spreadsheet in the OP.

You won't be unlocking online co-op for a few hours (3-7) anyway.

Is there no way to turn off the narrator reminding you of what you should be doing every single time you leave a building? Every time I need to run through town he says the same thing several times in a row

You can mute the narrator's voice volume in the options.

Dwarf owns. Toss fools every day for big damage at get Frenzy at lv15 to become a machine gun hammerer.

For reference: it took me just under 3 hours to unlock online co-op while going through the main quest and doing most of the side quests.

I was streaming during that run so there was some noticeable lag on my end. Also I never cooked before :v:

What's the best way to beat the Old Capital Route B boss for the talisman? My coop partner and I can't whittle its health down enough before it falls off the bridge

It's best to kill it entirely in the room it starts in. Otherwise, get it low and use the great shield/hallway sequence and shoot ballistas at it.

Is there a way to actually THROW bombs across the screen? All I'm able to do is toss them ineffectually at my own feet, and the enemy escapes or they fizzle out in water half the time.

Press forward+triangle.
