Just crossed 100 hours in Ragnarok Odyssey. Still enjoying the shit out of this game.

I feel like finally trying one of these "Tales" games BG is so fond of. Which is a good one to pick up on the vita?

Neither of them have been released on Vita outside Japan

[Xno Kappa]

Bah. Saw a few of them on the list and figured I'd try one.

[Tyrath]

Yeah I just realized the list mentions the JP release date without signifying it for games that haven't come out here. If any strike your interest I'd cross check it on wiki.

Grab Vesperia if you have a 360. On the PS2, Abyss would be the standout. Wii has Symphonia. Beyond that, I feel the others are either inferior games or just too dated.

[Ratatapa]

Symphonia can be on PS2 too

And it's a GC disk not wii (even if wii can read GC)

[Exoduso]

How is the Vita supposed to handle PS4 titles though?
I mean, don't get me wrong Vita games look pretty good, but I don't think the majority of them are top PS3-tier, let alone next-gen worthy.

I guess we'll find out. Either way, I'll be glad if this happens since I do already own a Vita.

The same way the PSP did. Remote play. Supposedly it will run 100x better since the vita and ps4 actually have ram. (The psp's was so awful) also the fact the psv has wireless-n which will help tremendously. The other alternative would be they link your ps4 to gaikai and allow you to stream games some how through that service, from your PS4 -> cloud -> vita. Who knows.

It's rendered on ps4 and streamed to vita.

In the same way you can stream your desktop using splashtop to a phone.

[Exoduso]

Gotcha, I wasn't aware that this was already going on heh.
Sounds good to me.

Graces F has a SHIT story but an AMAZING battle system. Especially on extra hard mode.

inb4 charismatic tells you how wrong you are.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game, but apparently hardcore Tales fans find the battle system to be a travesty. Something about the CC system sucking donkey dick and all that.

[Dmitry]

Honestly it takes some getting used to, but I think it's not a bad system. It was basically you have TP you can spend it on your big moves all at once vs you have CC that builds up over the course of the battle depending on your combos or how much damage you're taking, so you have to work up to the bigger moves.

Also, does the Vita have Wireless N? Or maybe I wasn't paying attention cuz my N network is on 5ghz band.

Seems to.

[Franzer]

Seriously, for those on the fence about a vita, its awesome. P4G alone is worth it to me, but having access to almost the entire psp library, and ps1 library, there's literally access to hundreds of games. Besides PC, i really only play handhelds, and my vita gets way more use than my 3ds does. Subscribe to playstation plus, and you get a bunch of games just being a subscriber.

[Tyrath]

Yeah and if you're thinking about getting a Vita along with PSN+ I'd do it this month. The year long PSN+ free games, Uncharted and Gravity Rush, are also two of the best games on the system and probably won't be on PSN+ after May/June.

[Merovingian]

The only problem with vita is the mem card storage and price

[Tyrath]

Yeah thats true. But with PSN+ I've played tons of games on it and only paid for one of them, so can't complain too much.

Ask Chari. He'll give you a six page dissertation on them
