I've read it's 30fps on Vita, 60fps (w/occasional drops) on PS4.

Reddit sez: noticeable frame drops on Vita when bosses do special attacks.

And PlayAsia have a pre-order up for a region free, multi language version. Vita and PS4.

PS4 it is, then.

Plays well enough on the vita. I'd rather have it on the vita, going away next week and need a handheld game to play

I haven't even started the download on the Vita version Mostly because it hasn't been turned on in a bloody age. I think only P4G or a VN will make me go back to it at this point

Made a start with Hugo Fact after beating the game with Yunica.

The lad may be a bit of a stuffed shirt but good to see he can be entertaining, too.

He sounds very much like our own Hugo.

He's a massive jerk! And so is Hugo Fact. (Written tongue in cheek and without any malice.)

This took a little turn in the story which I wasn't expecting.

Those playing Hugo and not enjoying him: his abilities pick up midway through Guilty Fire. I'm in Blighted Blood at the moment and he is kicking arse Though Mantid just got his own back handful of times

How difficult are these? Are we talking Dark Souls/Bloodborne level or something more like oh, I dunno, killing Bambi?

On a side note, I've only just understood your Avatar/forum name Saint. Been watching Preacher this week and it makes sense to me now! You're one mean badass ain't ya!

It shows me that price when not signed in.

As for the bosses... in a way they can be as hard or as easy as you want. If one is giving you a particularly hard time* you just load the game back up, grind on the last set of monsters you encountered and you'll be in better shape to face it.

*They're pish when you know their patterns. Except for Mantid. strawberry float that guy.

Whenever I check out the Activity Feed on my PS4, it is filled with entries of SoK playing Ys Origin . Saint is a one-man Ys machine!

Some of the bosses are nails

No doubt. But as with most bosses they're pish once you get used to their patterns and weaknesses.

It's just too, too good! However I think it's only fair, that, given all the praise I send its way, I also highlight when it falls short of the lofty bar it set itself.
So y'know how I mentioned it ran super smooth on PS4? Well...



If you can't watch at the moment: the game basically went into 1 FPS mode. Upto then I hadn't seen a hint of slowdown, not even when the screen is filled with enemies and weapon and spell pyrotechnics are going off. So I really have no idea what went wrong there.

Oh and, I'm *still* ranging about this even though I later beat it:

That's bullplops man! Absolute. Plops.

Bought this on Vita following SoK's recommendation. Better be good. I paid £11odd too

Also bought FFX/X2 remastered and Vagrant Story (old PSP version) too.

Once (if) I finish P4G then I've got hundreds of hours worth of RPGs to play!

Oh, for some reason the Vita version doesn't have the additional PS+ discount. I wonder if it's cross-buy when purchased on Vita... it definitely was for me when I got it for PS4.

Goddammit

Ignore this if you're after the plat: Do not waste your time going for the speed blessing

SoK's marketing ploy has worked.... KingK is on-board and - breaking news - NBK has joined the ranks!
