NeoStrayCat Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Well guys, I got some more good news, Elphelt will be free on launch week for a limited time (kinda like P4AU) and the US LE contents! Enjoy! X3
MasterXDrake Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 https://twitter.com/Yamanaka_ARC/status/522781917276426241 US Xrd is getting a dub! YAY! Hopefully It's a really good dub.
TheRealBobMan Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Ok, one thing that scares me is that the initial print of the game in JPN was announced to get the Vocal Collection CD, whereas the LE was getting that + the Xrd OST. They're announcing now for the US that we're getting the Vocal Collection with no mention of of the OST. Amazon specifically states, "Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Official Soundtrack - The Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- soundtrack is filled with the hard rocking tunes!" So... even though I'd still be happy with the purchase, the main reason I bought the LE was for the complete OST, which is what was advertised. If I don't get that, I'm going to go ape shit for false advertising. They pulled this shit once already with +R not having online play on Vita. I don't have a twitter, so would someone mind asking for clarification for us? If I have to buy the Xrd OST separate I guess I'd be ok with that if it's not too expensive (IE having to import at JPN prices), but I wouldn't be ok with it if they put the OST exclusively on Amazon and iTunes since you get shit MP3 quality (not even the full 320 bitrate). If I'm paying for music I want CD quality, or FLAC if I can only get digital. Fear and ranting aside, YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GUILTY GEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR This is great news. Great way to start my day. I'll have a whole 2 weeks to play the US edition before I go back to work and stop having a life, though I might break down and get the digital JPN version just to get an extra 2 weeks of play in.
ZenTzen Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 And like always still no EU release announcement

Vocal only, sadly https://twitter.com/aksysgames/status/522824089287659520 (I hate the GG Vocals. Guess it's alternate avenues for me.)
SoWL Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Oh bother. Now I gotta find someone to buy a Japanese copy for as a gift, taking all the bonuses for my troubles.
Ragnarok_F4 Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Awesome!!! Will buy the PS3 version in japanese from the PSN. Then will buy the US version when i get a PS4 .
Garalian Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Oh fuck son, this is super great news! Now I just gotta do that whole "how's my stick gonna hold up on PS4/should I even get a PS4 this soon/will the damn thing even WORK on a PS4/ what do when I eventually a PS4". Oy vey. BUT NEVER MIND THAT SHIT, WE DECEMBER 16TH NOW
TheRealBobMan Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Vocal only, sadly https://twitter.com/aksysgames/status/522824089287659520 (I hate the GG Vocals. Guess it's alternate avenues for me.) Thanks a ton for following up for me. I'm mad, but I'll live. It's not like ArcSys and Aksys have lost a sale over this, as I still want the game, and I'm still going to purchase the OST at full price when it becomes available, even though *cough* being a member of the JellyFish Pirates already got me a *cough* discount *cough*. It sucks considering I already bought the Vocal Tracks on Amazon when they released them before, though now I'll have them in much higher quality. I guess it's worth it to get Ride the Fire (which I don't really like) and the new song that was in the Trailer (which was pretty awesome)? Oh man, I hope the netcode is good. It'd be awesome if PS3/PS4 cross-play and multi-region compatibility becomes the standard for online play because of ArcSys's efforts!
Tenj|n Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 That Backyard box looks beautiful... Gonna be getting myself NA PS3 LE and JP PS4 :D
Troll_Badguy Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Looks awesome. I want that belt buckle key chain dammit. Bet it'll be out in EU some months after the US release. Like, in spring 2015 or around august. (i'm not being ironical.) Also I just discovered that Ky could lose his ponytail by being hit by Pot's special that do no damage, have unlimited range and knock you down (I forgot the name sorry...). Holy Orders III so good...
Jocelot Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Think you're thinking of Slide Head. And I wouldn't call it unlimited range, just ground unlockable.
Narroo Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Who's doing the localization? If it's "Strangely Compelling" we're screwed.
Chainsaw Guitar Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 This year is going to be my best birthday ever. ... And probably the last time I'll ever leave my house. Goodbye sunlight, you will be missed.
balofo Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 No one datamined the demo to know the remaining DLC characters??
NesmerII Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 The hype is fuckin palpable god damn. December can't come fast enough. And yeah, I'd like to know about the localization too, though I realize not much info probably available on the topic. Arc System Works has only ever done 2 things wrong, and that is replace Tony Oliver's Bang Shishigami and Doug Erholtz' Hazama, for no reason at all I might add. I really hope they just let Aksys do it for fuck's sake. Aksys-supervised dubs are always decent at worst, stellar at best. Virtue's Last Reward has one of the best VG dubs ever. More importantly, Aksys has a great talent pool to draw from and know how to cast a fucking character. Certainly better than making a shonen-ninja-warrior sound like a tired old man. I love Steve Kramer, but a match for Bang he is not (yes I'm still fucking mad).
ZenTzen Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Yamanaka just said they didnt forget Europe and want to release it ASAP, even though EU still hasnt gotten GGXXAC+R, just hope we get a limited edition and the wait isnt too long https://twitter.com/Yamanaka_ARC/status/522915379950022657
TheRealBobMan Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 EU STILL doesn't have +R? Holy shit I feel bad now. You're going to get Xrd before +R, just like PSN didn't get +R until after Xrd hit arcades.
kosmos badgirl Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 even though EU still hasnt gotten GGXXAC+R, It was released on 360 but not Playstation systems.
Kirnupiima Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Wasn't it a month or so ago they told Arcsys would do the localisation themselves, not aksys?
Troll_Badguy Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Yamanaka just said they didnt forget Europe and want to release it ASAP, even though EU still hasnt gotten GGXXAC+R, just hope we get a limited edition and the wait isnt too longhttps://twitter.com/Yamanaka_ARC/status/522915379950022657 Well that's awesome ! It virtually confirms that they plan to release the game in Eu, that's enough for me, I can sleep in peace now... And we have AC+R here in Europe... Only on xbox 360.
RWA Announcer Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Heard about this earlier today, but it's still FANTASTIC NEWS and it's fun to join in on Hype Trains! Glad to see Elphelt is going to be free for a week just like my new P4AU main Adachi was, since I plan on putting ALOT of time into her and her sister Ramlethal, since I don't have my original main, Dizzy.........yet! Now to just figure out how to get myself a PS4 and the Xrd stick BEFORE Christmas! FREE BRIDE WAIFUS LET'S GO!!! Just out of curiosity though, isn't muti-regional gameplay the standard in most games, save for NRS titles? I can play anybody from anywhere in Capcom games, and was pretty sure I had some international SCV matches back in the day too, though I could just be remembering wrong.
Bloodcrave Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 still haven't decided if i should get NA version or the JP i'm scared if i get the NA version i'll only be matched with NA people, and my ping to the US is 250+
