I'm really excited for this game! I enjoyed the Genesis game immensely back when it came out. Played the SNES game more recently which was also pretty cool. This game will have plot tie-ins with both 16-bit games, but I'm happy that this one is going to be turn-based.

Yeah, I guess you're just not a SRPG fan. It seems a lot of people hate escort missions with a passion. I don't really mind them though and there aren't many in this game (Only seen two so far and I think one of them was optional). It helps that you can cast spells and use items on the NPC...

Hmm, strange, I don't even really think of Growlanser as a true SRPG... It's more like a traditional RPG with tactical / real-time strategy elements. I don't really care for tactical RPGs like FF Tactics, but I love Shining Force and Growlanser. Like you said, the battles tend to be more fast...

That is correct. If you want to play the game on a Vita you must buy the PSN version. Currently the only way to play it on Vita is to download onto a PS3 and then transfer to the Vita. It should be up on the Vita store soon, though.

My copy just arrived in the mail! Gotta go :p

Yep, I hear the battle system for this game is basically like Growlanser III except with some new features (i.e., Limit Abilities) and other enhancements. Of course, if you're never played a game in the series before, this is as good a place as any to start, since the story is not tied with...

Vita owner or do you just have a huge backlog?

To clarify about the RTS elements... while your characters move in real-time you can choose what you want each party member to do in turn... So it is sort of like a hybrid of RTS and turn-based RPG. Also, you can interrupt a character who is in the middle of an action if you realize that you...

Cool, I hope you like it.

I'd definitely go with the 3000 (or a used 2000 or 1000) unless you find a GO for a lot cheaper. You may find that you want to play an older PSP game that was never put on the PSN and then you're SOL with the PSPGO. Also, the memory cards aren't exactly free and if you have to download all...

I think anyone who likes RPGs will love this game. It takes all of the best elements from traditional RPGs, tactical RPGs, and real-time strategy games and this makes for a really fun game.

The decision really comes down to what kind of RPG you like best. Unchained Blades is a dungeon crawler and Gungnir is a tactics game. I was never really a fan of first-person dungeon crawlers so I probably won't be getting UB any time soon. I do have Gungnir, but I'm finding it a bit hard...

Anyone else here excited for this game? Growlanser Generations (PS2) was (two of the) best RPGs I ever played. What I love most about this series is that in the major battles "killing all of the enemies" is not the only obejective. For example, during some battles there are civilians that will...

Crimson Gem Saga Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth

Yeah, knowing Atlus, the game will come with a nice full color manual :)

Well, the one other advantage of digital downloads is they usually have faster load times than the physical UMDs. However, even the UMD version of Wayfarer of Time is supposed to have significantly faster loading times than the (Japanese) original PS2 game. I believe if you buy a digital PSP...

So there's two main paths you can take in the game, right? Does that mean it should be possible to get all of the endings in two play-throughs, or would it take more? Just curious as I'm sure I'll end up playing through this game a few times :)

Sony is going to announce some Vita titles in development next week. Here's hoping that there are some upcoming RPGs. I love my PSP and I think the Vita has the potential to be an amazing handheld system, but I'm a RPG fan and won't buy it until it has some decent RPGs (that aren't also being...

Probably goes without saying, but if you do decide to buy a used PSP from eBay or Amazon marketplace make sure the seller has a lot of great feedback (as a seller). I bought my PSP 1000 off of eBay years ago and it was in great condition exactly as the seller described. I've had really good...
