[PSV] Mind≒0

[Iggy_Pop]

Yukito's voice sample somehow tells me he's going to be a boss character.

Here’s How You’ll Use Your MIND To Win Fights In The Stylish MIND≒0

The MIND have very high power. There will be some enemies that won’t take much damage from regular player attacks, but using a MIND’s attack can do great damage to even the toughest foes. You can also call them out for a MIND Guard ability, which uses them to shield the players from attacks. While being shielded, you won’t lose any LP, but you will lose MP to make up for it, so it might not always be the best idea depending on the situation.

If you don’t call out a MIND, you will take direct damage from enemies. Taking enough large amounts of damage can put you in a critical condition. However, sometimes you’ll have to make these sacrifices, as your MP gradually recovers when you don’t have a MIND out. Additionally, you can also use Charge, Item and Escape commands that may help out in different cases while you’re left without a MIND.

Game reminds me of Persona which is a good thing.

It looks like the old persona games. Are we sure this is for the Vita and not the PS1 emulator?

What is up with the audio during the battles? It sounds really muffled.

[DragoonKain3]

Definitely reminds me of Persona 1. Atlus pls! I would instabuy a Vita just for this game, I promise!

Aksys are bringing this one over to North America (and to Europe as a digital-only release).

Run away as far as you can from this game people and never look back.

^ EDIT: why? does it suck that badly?!

-----------------------------

Danganronpa, Toukiden, Deception IV, Conception II, Demon Gaze and now
Mind Zero. my VITA is crying bloody tears of joy right now.

What I heard is that it doesn't end. There's a fairly involved story, and then at some point it just hits a full stop. It ends out of nowhere, resolves nothing, and then a sign pops up that says, "This is only the beginning."

But it's probably the end, because everyone hates it. The PSVita is starved for good RPGs, but this one just bombed bad.

Here was an amazon 1-star review:

I knew that it was a persona clone, and developed by Zero-Dive, and that the story didn't end, but I decided to just ignore those things and try it anyway from a neutral start.
The UI is slow to respond because it shows little animations every time you do something.
The 3D models you see whenever a battle ends have scary eyes.
There are Lions everywhere who are immune to your MIND.
Healing items are useless. (They heal so little that if you use them it actually makes your situation worse.)
Lots of irritating little gimmicks in the dungeons (A prompt appears that says "Rip open the door!" and then you have to tap the screen a bunch of time.
Enemy spot marks that don't make any sense. (The encounter rate is so high it just feels like they're laughing at you.)
Long load times
The scenario forces you to use certain characters even if they're underleveled.
Skills don't seem stronger even if you've powered them up
Skills can't be powered up while equipped (You need to strip naked before you can combine them)
The way the male characters interacts with the others is stupid.
There are people you can't talk to once you've finished their quests.


It goes on in this vein for quite a while, but that should suffice to give you the idea. His opinion is more or less reflected by the rest of the reviews.

Mind Zero coming to North America and Europe this spring

the answer is obvious to me from a financial standpoint on where this game project is going but has anyone involved in the development of this game said anything about making sequels to it? i was considering buying this game and i feel like my time is better spent elsewhere after reading what you posted.

The North American and European release dates are up: 27 May in North America, and 28 May in Europe.

This game looks a bit.. underwhelming? I don't know. I probably will pick it up anyway. I'm a sucker for visual novels and RPGs.. It's dual audio so that's pretty nice.
