We're all learning a little something~

Also now that it's been pointed out, I can clearly see that White Mikoto and L are the ones fighting in the background while their distorted silhouettes are on display. So this game wil have 20 characters with the possibility of a 21st if the mysterious and still unveiled AC character is in . . .

I've really hyped myself up these past few days and I'm not 100% sure why orz but not the anxiety is getting to me...WHY HAVEN'T THEY SHIPPED IT YET (/.\)

Got my AmiAmi payment finalization like an hour ago~

was 1680yen for EMS, 9440yen in total. Now just to wait = 3=

My order still says shipping is "to be determined". But it says the product is "In stock". Did you get the Standard or Limited Edition?

I got my notice to pay around the same time as SOBA, my status says Processing shipping (Paid). I preordered the LE.

Same as Kurushii, got the limited edition and I've been sitting at Processing shipping (Paid) for awhile now.

AmiAmi's offices open at 12pm JST, so I would check back around then for [hopeful] status updates, still waiting on my actual shipping acknowledgment and tracking number ' 3'

Did anybody order the standard edition? I've gotten absolutely nothing from amiami yet :/

Yeah, I ordered both the limited (for me xD) and standard version for a friend. The sent my the payment confirmation message last night and already paid it, but the standard version wasn't in stock at the same time that the limited version was (that was when I checked my order before). So I think they will notify you soon :).

Can finally learned what this extra style is all about. I liked vanilla PB a lot so I have high hopes for this one. While Vanilla PB have some questionable designs, its far from the poor game people made it out to be.

From the website Extra style gives you the weakest parameters of the the 3 and you can't use Phantom Breaks (H+S) however you are able to switch between Hard and Quick styles when you go into Overdrive and unlike the other 2 styles your Burst Gauge [super meter] lets you hold a max of 4 charges [as opposed to 2]. It is considered an "advance" player style.

And I agree, PB always looked ok and they have manged to improve the game with each iteration, just giving us AC would've been fine but Extra looks like an even vaster improvement and I'm all for it!

This waiting ; w;

Hm that does sound bit interesting but tricky to balance since I believe Phantyom breaker is essentially a meter management game so having more meter at any given moment is huge Advantage in PB. Burst gauge allow for plethora of shenanigans at minimal cost so losing phantom breaker is small price when most phantom breakers had limited application at the expense of all meter and over heat. The damage could be made up for by using critical burst which has more utility. Also considering how critical burst damage increases by the amount of gauge available, I wouldn't be surprise if extra style having 4 gauge making it the stronger critical burst

hard style is the only style to really use Phatom breaker with Guard cancel into phantom breaker was strong due to most phantom breaker having little to no start ups.

Well keep in mind, your offense and defense are going to be significantly lower so they'll probably be glass canons, but I do agree, having double meter will be interesting. Also keep in mind this is a whole new game, no telling what other nuances there could be...the possibilities + w+

Ok so after watching some limited streams:

- Game still has "janky" animation but like the PV showed the game runs much faster than either PB or PBAC

- PS3 ver install probably can't come fast enough, for one reason or another there's a load screen from the end of the match to the victory pose [it's not long or that bad, but obviously noticable. Load times overall are relatively good, so install should make it that much better]

- SUPER import friendly, like all of the main option categories are in English along with the training options and most of the network settings .o.

- Sophie seems like a fun character, lots of riding on her [skate]blade

- Ende uses her mech hand as a literal extension of her own and also has AEGIS REFLECTOR [i expect silliness from this]

- Shizuka, pretty typical iaido [not that there's anything wrong with that :3] also cross through...RUN!?

I forgot to mention that they changed announcers, which makes me super sad if there's no option to have the Maximum Impact guy back .v.

Anyways here's a translation of the trophies before I go to bed, conditions are all there and so are most of the names which I'll fix in the morning, but yeah SUPER easy platinum...

Tnx for the post SxB, Anyways, just a quickie mention...

360 Version of PB:Extra is Region Free! I asked one of my pals on TA to test it out, and it indeed works on his NTSC (NA/US) system! XD

Yeah, maybe one day for me as well, didn't expect it to be R-F, but hey, at least Both Versions will have its equal share played on whatever region/console.

Hopefully one day a localization too, and from a different publisher, but for now, this is good news.

I totally missed that post then, lol. But thanks! I guess I can import this game then.

Edit: For the purposes of decision making, what comes in the LE? Not sure which I'd want to get.

Well, the only place I know that actually took the time to post the contents in English was AmiAmi, and its only 2 things, (actually 3), lol.

-Game Itself

-Game Guidebook

-Soundtrack CD

And a nice LE box to go in it, depending on specific console version for different artwork. So yeah...Its either Standard or Limited depending on your preference/cost/etc.

Also, Phantom Break/Super Moves Exhibition, seems all characters now have 2 unique Lv.2 Phantom Break supers, lol (uploader forgot to add Waka to the ex.). :3

It's not an infinite, just a loop, can only go for 9 reps, does crap damage, and also this was done on the PS3 ver which doesn't have ver 1.01 patch yet so it might not even "exist".

Either way it's far from something alarming. There's also a better and faster loop.

You get a different Phantom Break for Quick and Hard style, Extra doesn't have access to it, also White Mikoto and L aren't shown.
