Hmmmm, it looks like Phantasy Star.

However, I hate everything SAO related.

Decisions, decisions.

Digital been my way of gaming on the Vita since it came out so being digital only is a no bother for me at.

Yes, it is better then no release at all for no Japanese speaking gamers. I'll go physical until gaming becomes digital only though.

It might be a while till physical copies completely go away but its happening little by little right now.

As a note, anyone interested in playing this in English but wants a physical copy may want to wait for the Asian release in May as that will have English or so I'm told.

I had no interest for the anime but now looking more into the game it looks kinda fun.Though I have a feeling it will be subbed not dubbed since digital only usally means that.

What is your sig from? game or anime?

porting the asian copy will probably cost double than it will be priced on PSN english version so i doubt that many going to do that, just get PSN version that way we support the english version and get the cheapest version while at it.

Anime, specifically Guilty Crown which I don't recommend watching. (I should get my sig swapped...)

As for supporting the English version, I'd -love- to, but I ordered the JP version already~ albeit at 1.5x the cost. ._. Least I get to play way before you guys.

Given the close proximity to the JP release, I'd imagine subs. Given that the NA version is digital-only (Read: They're not trying to spend much on localization), it'll likely be subbed too.

Yeah i wouldnt be surprised if it will be english subs which is perfectly fine imo.. i believe Sony has a policy where Japanese audio with English subs can be only released digitally but at the same time im sure i read somewhere how they removed that policy as SEGA was able to release Yakuza perfectly fine physically so now its more open and up to the publisher/developer.

For me I cant do subs.Im not a big fan of JPN voice work.The only reason I kept buying yakuza games was cause I liked the first one and that was dubbed and since they kept coming in I wanted to know more of the story and had no other choice.Im actually kinda afraid of how open they are with devs since its just gives them more reason to release it without doing a dub.Now everytime a game is announced coming from jpn not from a big studio I gatta worry if its dubbed or not.

But that openness is really good! this way we can see a lot of games come over from Japan even without English dubs its perfectly fine besides it will not only save the devs/publishers money it will also help them make sequels and bring them all over.

what Sony is doing is really good imo.

whats great is that even visual novels are now allowed to be localized/brought over ( which is why the first ever is also coming over from Japan for the Vita this year i believe its called Xblaze ( engish subs only ) and quite a few are coming to PS3 too ).. seriously this openness is very good for gamers.

I see it as a double edge sword.The openess allows more to come in but in return the devs get lazy and dont even bother dubbing it.Hell xblaze a game from the BB devs who always dubbed their games like you said is not even dubbed.Even though I like the BB story and characters I will be skipping this since its not dubbed.Im afraid it might encourge my devs to bring stuff over without even trying.

Will definitely get.. not even a fan of SAO but the game gives me a flavor of early to mid 2000 MMOs (and for a portable offline game).. yum yum nostalgia.

I wish RO VITA was closer to this.. I love drowning in hotslots/quickslots!

That is a fake review?There is no review for the PSP game Infinite Moment as the game wasn't released in English and I'm pretty sure Kevin VanOrd doesn't know Japanese.

Nice try, but the date and platform availability is a dead giveaway on top of what FoG said.
