Black ★ Rock Shooter: The Game (PSP)

Gibson knocked WRS up. :3

Gibson knocked WRS up. :3

LOL that explains it XD

So? Both parents don't have to know about their kid. It doesn't always apply in real life either.

Well, that's true o.o.

Anyways, we don't have to get so serious about this, because at the end it's just a personal view, and as I said before, I like to see them as sisters n_n;; I didn't meant to start a discussion out of it.

[T423]

I have a little question. What were the aliens' reasons for exterminating humanity?

What about WRS' statement at the trailer where she was first seen? I recall her saying something about humanity's extermination. I am pretty confused about the fact that she is in fact THAT idol and that suddenly, she is against humanity.

That's something that I was going to ask too :S

[Fluegel]

The real question is, What's going to happen AFTER the extermination. The game ends only 3 months away from the 20 year mark of when the aliens 1st appeared.

And technically, said extermination was complete.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

...True. Unless there are more survivors hidden somewhere o_o

And that's a good question too...

Though the whole Singer Love/WRS deal it's kinda intriguing too....at least for me.

I hope they'll clarify more stuff if it is a next game....and that they make a longer game e.e

[Shadow5YA]

I really doubt those PSS members were literally the last remaining humans on Earth. They said the UEF-PSS was the last remaining organization to fight the invasion, that's it.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

I really doubt those PSS members were literally the last remaining humans on Earth. They said the UEF-PSS was the last remaining organization to fight the invasion, that's it.

There. That means it's possible that there are another survivors just hiding. Though it's still only a possibility.

But if there's gonna be a second game...well, let's say that if there are no humans to save, it's kinda pointless to fight o_o

More like Apostle rape doujins

But if this game fails it'll probably go under the radar while most doujin artists continue to make OVA Dead Master rape BRS

[Fluegel]

Well I'm basically done.

WOAH. You're awesome.

Anyways, how do you take snapshots of the PSP screen?? I think I'll need it to translate missions and be able to complete the whole game someday...SOMEDAY.

Either that, or I ask you what to do <.<

[Fluegel]

If your PSP has custom firmware, theres a plug-in that lets you do it. Quite frankly the screen shot feature was literally the main reason I ever wanted to install CFW.

If you need help with anything just ask.

As to the 4 missing records

The 2 on stage 2 both involve completing the bike missions with no damage, which is bull shit so I'm not even going to bother.

6-8 involves killing all golden dawns (You kill them in free hunting to unlock gallery items. The problem is that There's more in the stages than are required to unlock all that stuff, and there's no way to see how many there are total and how many your missing. Getting it unlocks the Moon Rabbit outfit.

The final record is for getting gall records, and again thanks to the bike ones that can kiss my ass.

[Asuras]

The bike rides just look like a joystick fest. You could do it with enough tries and concentration?

[Shadow5YA]

The regular stage 2 bike missions are arguably harder than the EX one. The first part is easy enough, but the latter two have a bunch of moving obstacles can you can accidentally run into while dodging another. I've tried all day to no avail.

[Fluegel]

Yeah. One split second sand your ****ed. And if you mess up once you have to go through the entire map again. The main annoyance half the time for me were those god damn hornets. The one against Mzma I did perfect actually.

[Shadow5YA]

I got past the hornets fine. I kept on getting screwed over in the second part by those leaping yellow blocks near the end and by those blue wheels in the third part.

I'm somewhat curious about what you get from 6-16, but since I'm getting the english version later too it's not worth it right now.

Oh cool, could you tell me the plug-in name, and if it works with any custom firmware? Any other explanation would be nice too, since I'm pretty new to PSP's.

Actually, I don't have one yet, I'll try to buy one by the end of September so I can play the BRS game once my copy arrives from Japan -w-;;

And the bike records really sounds pretty difficult o_o

[Asuras]

I was going to get a PSP a couple weeks ago, if only to get God Eater/Monster Hunter, FF Dissidia, and whatever else I found interesting, but decided against it, considering I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to spend the money on it.

Is the PSP really worth it?

[Marcus H.]

Fluegel, can you help me out in the Wiki? I'm trying to collect all necessary information regarding the game. :3

Well, I actually tend to buy game consoles for games, so if there are games you want to play, I say, why not?

Actually I've been interested in getting a PSP for some games too, the BRS game just motivated me to actually try and save money to get one XD

Fluegel, can you help me out in the Wiki? I'm trying to collect all necessary information regarding the game. :3

Wait, you're Herald of Meridian?!?

[Marcus H.]

^ Yes, yes I am. :)

[Shadow5YA]

I wouldn't call BRS a system seller though. The gameplay gets repetitive, and the story while entertaining and somewhat endearing is short and not very original. Stella might as well be a genderswapped Mega Man X and Gibson a Dr. Light with a shorter beard. It's a nice pick-up-and-play game for those who are fans of the franchise, nothing more.

[Marcus H.]

Well, JRPGs are never really famous for advances in gaming mechanics, and thus THE GAME will never reach very high sales figures. THE GAME will only sell to those who are into the game for either the Figma or the plot.

[Shadow5YA]

At least it could have been on a console where the cutscenes look a little flashier. Stella and Nana are characters who have a lot of emotion, but because it's the PSP all I see are character models with Huke's classic deadpan expression. The clashes at the end of every Apostle fight could have been a real treat with better graphics.

[Asuras]

Fluegel, can you help me out in the Wiki? I'm trying to collect all necessary information regarding the game. :3

Hello, Herald. :heh:

You'll know me there as Ninjaism.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

^ Yes, yes I am. :)

Oh my, a pleasure to meet you :'D (?)

I wouldn't call it a system seller either. The story is nice, but yeah, it's not new. I can't talk that much about the gameplay since I haven't played yet, but for what I see here, it's kinda the same all over. Though I don't think it's a bad game, it's not like super awesome or something.

As you said, this kind of games are mostly for the fans. But hey, I'm a die-hard fan, I mean, I did bought the game without having a PSP yet xD;;.

And yeah, the cutscenes would've been pretty cool on some other console with better graphics, but this kind of games [JRPG games] tend to be for PSP. At least that's what I noticed o.o

[Fluegel]

So when does Nana stop being mean to Stella? I'm redoing Stage 4 Mission 2 and she's still as bitchy as ever.

Am I supposed to give certain directions on ths mission for the canon end?

Fluegel, can you help me out in the Wiki? I'm trying to collect all necessary information regarding the game. :3

What type of info are you looking for?

And FUCK YEAH, Finally got the 2 stupid no damage records.

Basically I pressed Start to just go bit by bit, and also some memorization.

The Ex Mission with Mzma was annoying if only for that attack where the shot can curve. Basically the second you see the flame start to charge, count to 3 and then move the the farthest lane ASAP. Never stay in the middle.

[Marcus H.]

What type of info are you looking for?

Missions, story overview, unlockables, hmm... everything? XD

[Shadow5YA]

Wow... why didn't I think of that?

[Asuras]

Missions, story overview, unlockables, hmm... everything? XD

That's quite a lot of information... >.>

Standing by for spelling edits. :cool:

[Fluegel]

I can pretty much provide info on all of the, though not so much on story. I can get a little, but I'm not fluent so ehh..

[ed_phoenix]

Well I'm basically done.

thank you, appreciate it very much

[Marcus H.]

If you can wait, there's already an article providing the requirements for the Records. Click here (http://blackrockshooter.wikia.com/wiki/Gameplay_Guide/Records)

damn, i've been going back in and out that website for like everyday
and i didn't know it was there all along
wkwkwkwkwkw

thanks Marcus =D:p

[Marcus H.]

It's not yet complete though, but with the help of Asuras and Fluegel, it would be at least filled with information from THE GAME.

[Fluegel]

If you can wait, there's already an article providing the requirements for the Records. Click here (http://blackrockshooter.wikia.com/wiki/Gameplay_Guide/Records)

I see nothing there other than names and no information. Also it's written english as Fuji Jukai in game. Pretty much all of the menus are.

[Marcus H.]

Well, it's because there are no screenshots of the objectives, rewards and the mission titles in Japanese. :p I just based the other on your screenshots.

EDIT: I'll be doing a backtrack so that I can check if there are screenshots that I might have missed.
EDIT2: I managed to track down Fluegel on Gamespot, lol.

The list of missions should be building up.

[Cosmic Eagle]

This game is freaking awesome...It was worth the new mem stick....

It may get repetitive but the meat's in the storyline.

[Fluegel]

Like I said I did the annoying bike missions, so I only need to find one Golden Dawn to get the full 100%. Though it's like finding a needle in a hay stack, and just boring as hell.

Once done I'll probably go back and run through the entire or maybe just start anew one and redo my steps, taking screens along the way. Many of the records are just gotten through story progression. Such as Stage 1:

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

But....if there are no humanity left to save, what will Stella do now? o_o Join the aliens??

And ooooh gameguide that'll help me a lot when I get the game :'D

I can pretty much provide info on all of the, though not so much on story. I can get a little, but I'm not fluent so ehh..

Speaking of that, how did you learned japanese? [Regardless of your level]
I just know a few words, and I don't think I'll be capable of getting that much about the story like you did <.<

[Fluegel]

I took 1 class in high school where I learned Hiragana and Katakana, but for the most part, mainly just picking it up from playing JP games, and over a decade of watching subbed anime and foreign TV shows.

I'm nowhere near fluent though, and I can't recognize Kanji for ****. I'm pretty much at the bottom level of the bottom levels. It's just what what little I can read helps a ton.

I actually have a friend never once took a single Japanese class, or even cared much to study it, and all he did was just play Japanese games and anime.........And a few years ago, he passed the highest level of the JPTL without breaking a sweat. He also now lives and works over there.

As to the guide, right now I'm mainly working on the records 1st since it's what people need the most help with. But because I know some people can't read any moon at all, I'm also including as many images as possible. Specifically for which enemies to specifically kill (Since there's ones that all look the same and colored differently) and also which specific missions for the EX mission Records should be chosen.

[Shadow5YA]

Was it confirmed that the PSS members Stella met were the all the members?

And to be fair, Nana is a bit more grown than Stella.

[Fluegel]

Yes. The record itself when they all died and you get the Lost all outfit is literally called "The destruction of humanity".

lol then you're just like me [I learned hiragana and katakana and some basic dialog once]. Only that I lack the JP games part, guess I start playing them more xD Also, a friend told me that she learned by translating songs o.o

Yes. The record itself when they all died and you get the Lost all outfit is literally called "The destruction of humanity".

And that makes me wonder again....what will Stella do if there's no humanity left to save?

[Fluegel]

Wincest with Nana.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

.......lol xD

No thanks xD

[Shadow5YA]

Or Stella and Nana continue Dr. Light Gibson's work and create a world full of Reploids Accelerated Clones.

[Fluegel]

There's nothing to actually clone. The story won't end there though. It's too stupid a plot to.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

But you [or someone else, I don't remember...] said that there indeed is a second game in development, that's why I'm curious about the story, since there are no humans left o_O

Guess we'll just have to wait and see...


Anyways, you haven't told me the plug-in to take snapshots on the PSP D: Or if it works with any CFW :S Since I haven't bought a PSP yet, I'm not sure with which firmware it'll come :S

[Shadow5YA]

Yeah, can I get a source on where it says there's a second game in development?

I'll probably play the english version so I can better understand the plot. There are too many things I dont understand, like what WRS wanted or her wish that Stella is supposedly going to carry on now.

[Fluegel]

I forgot the name, but 1st you need to know whether or not you can even install CFW on your PSP to begin with. Also

The second title is under development with a summer 2012 release in mind, PSP RPG "BLACKROCK SHOOTER THE GAME".

What?? Stella is supposed to carry on WRS's wish? Interesting... I was planning on playing the english version too, does anyone knows when that'll be released?


And OMG I'll be waiting for summer 2012 then O_O


Oh, and I guess I'll be able to install CFW in my PSP, since here in my country almost every console system is sold with CFW or chips so people can get copied games and stuff.....I'm not sure if I should be talking about that here o_o

[Shadow5YA]

Ugh... PSP again? This series is probably just meant to be a cheap cashout.

But who knows? Maybe the popularity will explode despite the mediocre gameplay like the original .hack series.


This wish will come true...
http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/6954/snap144.png

Because I am her as well.
http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/7094/snap145.png


I was referring to that when talking about WRS's wish.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

Ooooooh I see o.o Didn't thought about that the first time I read it....

And I think it's logical that the second one will be for PSP too, since the first one was for PSP. I don't think they'll take it to another system unless it gains A LOT of popularity :S

Anyways I'm fine for it being for PSP, and maybe they'll fix the gameplay....maybe....

[RRW]

but i am hoping it for Vita.

[Fluegel]

That article is months old. They were working on the 2nd game even before the 1st came out.

[scr]

d) let's sell even more figurines

[Shadow5YA]

e) all of the above. Let's split the stories into multiple parts so we can make more money off of it. On top of that, put it on a popular low-end Japanese platform like the PSP, so that it's easy to code with minimal budget but will still sell like hotcakes. To top it off, throw in a figma that the fans love so much.

Another cashin on the BRS franchise. Honestly if they were serious about making a high-end game, they would have made it for a console. However, developing it for a handheld is probably the best low-risk strategy for them to make sure the game sells without putting too much money into it.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

^ That's true. Since the OVA it's almost obvious that they want to get money with the franchise. I mean, the game was announced like a week or so after the OVA? And now when the game was about to came out they announced an anime too.

If they ever make a high-end game for another system, that'll be when they're sure that it'll sell like hotcakes too.

Though I don't really mind if they keep releasing games for the PSP, I like the system, and I don't have the money to afford a PS3 or Xbox 360 :|

[Asuras]

I can't imagine a BRS game coming out for the 360.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

lol why not?? xD

[Shadow5YA]

I can imagine one for the PS3 with beautiful CG cutscenes. 360, not so much because Japan doesn't like the 360.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

^ Oh yes, that would be beautiful indeed <3

[Fluegel]

ImageEpoch isn't into console games.

[Shadow5YA]

Well, they had Arc Rise Fantasia, but you have a point there.

What's wrong with hand-helds? You realize you can't exactly lug a console with you around?

If it just so happens that strategy suits handheld consoles then so be it....IMO if you really want a serious game that most people can have access to, make it a PC game.

Maybe I was expecting too much. Maybe I was hoping for a masterpiece that would cement its identity as a separate franchise from Vocaloids and Hatsune Miku. A lot of people still think BRS is the same as Miku.

[Cosmic Eagle]

There is that but then Vocaloid itself is a major PC software....Backed by Crypton.

Unfortunately I don't think the guy who made BRS has that much resources....well there's always the chance it can pull a Touhou...

[Fluegel]

Huke is simply that character designer and artist. He doesn't make the games or any of that stuff.

[Shadow5YA]

BRS is an original character design by Huke. It became popularized by a song of the same name with the producer of supercell using the vocaloid Miku. Other than that one song, BRS and Vocaloids have nothing to do with one another. However, to this day people still think BRS is another Miku design.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

^ Yeah, I've seen that A LOT on deviantART. It pisses me off :|

Now the question is...Do I open it when I've already 100% the game?! >.>;

[Shadow5YA]

Depends on if you're into collecting that kind of merchandise like 90% of the BRS fanbase.

I personally couldn't care less about the figma, but the artbook and soundtrack might be cool. There might be some artwork or tracks not in the game.

[Sageblink]

The artwork of the packaging is just wonderful.
I wouldn't mind to get a poster of that.

[Fluegel]

The art books sucks ass. It's like more of a pamphlet only.

It's only like 5 or 6 pages. The only thing that's awesome in it is a special prequel art work featuring loli Gray in full gear. (All of Stella's Ch.3+ clothes were Gray's old clothes, weapons, booster unit, etc. She even makes a comment about how tight the shorts are)

But most interesting, 2 other girls are with her.

[Marcus H.]

Looks like we haven't seen the last of the Givson 7 Squad.

[Fluegel]

Yes we have. They're all dead except Gray. Aside from the old clothes and booster unit she got from Stella, The other weapons belonged to the others. You can see the war hammer with the other loli.

[Marcus H.]

Oh crap. Prequel game expected for BRS THE GAME 2?

[Shadow5YA]

Would they really make a BRS game without BRS? I doubt it. Stella could play detective and find more about the past, but that's about it.

The Givson 7 sounds like a squad of accelerated clones made by Gibson to fight the invasion. Considering we never see any of them except for Nana, I'm guessing they failed, or at best died taking out the other unnamed Apostles who are already dead in The Game.

It's a shame we didn't get to see badass war veteran Nana in action and instead got a whiny baby Nana.

[Fluegel]

Nana wasn't stupid like the PSS. She knew the world was over anyways even if the last 7 were defeated, so what was the point?

Also it's Gibson. They just screwed up with the engrish as always.

Also Black Rock Shooter technically doesn't even exist. It's just the title of the franchise. She's never referred to as such, and even WRS is never referred to anything other than Sing-Love.

The only time you'll see it is during the information pane when attacking, ete for the player to know.

[Cosmic Eagle]

Huke is simply that character designer and artist. He doesn't make the games or any of that stuff.

But then shouldn't he hold original creator rights?

And in the dialogue captions....She's referred to as BRS throughout even if none of the characters call her that...

[Fluegel]

He does hold them. To the designs that is along with the name. ImageEpoch also earns rights to the game itself.

And again, that's just for the players.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

Hmm, the other lolis seems interesting o.o It's a shame they're all dead e.e

About BRS, maybe that's like, the project name or something, but everyone just called her by her real name so it was never used.

[Shadow5YA]

Huke has rights to all BRS designs. Even for this game they put a copyright to his name at the bottom of the title screen... I think. It could have been in the credits. However, he's not the only one with rights to the franchise. If I recall correctly BRS is also owned by Good Smile Company.

[Berzerker2k5]

The milking continues..... So Gray was a bad ass before? oh how much she has decayed.

Anyone noticed that the officially posted videos (the ones that appeared months or weeks before the game's released) spoiled too many things about the game? It is as if a lot of the significant parts were shown, especially that vid showing the battle with Azuma.

Coincidentally, it seems that a number of the speculations I came up with turned out to be true.

1) The game will be short. This is BRS we are talking about. Since the character was just a design/concept in the first place, there was no established canon about the character ever made. Since its not related to the OVA, a new (and unrelated) story had to built from scratch. Since this game was announced late last year, it was pretty evident that it wasn't going to be long. Coming up with good (I am not saying that game's story was bad!) and longer stories can take more than a year to make.

2) No civilians. Their presence might have made the story longer.

3) The 11(?) human survivors will perish. I had a gut feeling that they'd have very little air time.

4) Gray dies. I started thinking about this after the game's opening was shown in the net. Its because she was never present. Of course this is disproven in the 'true' end.

5) WRS' 2nd form. Right after I watched the first video where WRS was introduced, I was considering that she'd have 2nd form. After all, that concept is a videogame staple. The end of the newer video all about her just answered my suspicions.

The game is ok, but I somewhat disliked the setting of a post-apocalyptic earth. I am not complaining about the setting, but it's only a matter of prefence. To me, the OVA's backgrounds were closer to Huke's designs. His drawings always made me think of an alternate world that wasn't of our own. Much like the Mortal Kombat games, I loved the backgrounds found in MKI and MKII because of their otherworldly feel, which gave it an aura of authenticity. MKIII's style of putting real world-like places turned me off somehow.

Some thoughts of mine;

Remember that Final Promise Story came with a BRS: The Game disk? I know most people didn't care about FPS. but many bought it anyway just because of the BRS disk that came with it.

Gray is unarmed throughout the whole game. Concerning her gun, it is never seen and used until the part where we see she gets carried to be taken away by the robot. How did that gun get there? hammerspace?

[Fluegel]

No they don't. GSC has rights for the Figmas and Nendroids and such, but they do not own BRS in any ways. Just like everything they create figmas and figures for. They're basically just a toy company.

You asking about hammer space when Stella's taking out weapons out of nowhere that are twice as big as she is? Also Stella's mid to end game gear all belonged to Nana when she was younger. Nana even makes a comment on the size of the shorts.

2) No civilians. Their presence might have made the story longer.

That's because they're dead. In the mission where they go to Moscow, they go there to find Nana because she's literally the last woman on earth.

And considering dialogue at the end of Stella's movie, and also the fact that when she wasn't fighting in the opening she was alone and sad, that gave it away months ago that pretty much everyone was going to die.

[Shadow5YA]

I would have sympathized with Nana more if her main issue was also the death of her comrades like Stella. She could have been a hardened more cynical version of Stella after seeing death after death and being alone for much longer, but instead she decided to whine about how daddy loved her sister more.

It also didn't help that Nana did not fight once over the course of the game. The only times she ever attacks is 1) when she uses Llwo's bowgun to blast Stella and 2) in the true end when she uses her own handgun to blast the mecha that was carrying her off to WRS. Throughout the whole rescue Nana ordeal I couldn't help but feel that Nana wanted to die. If Nana had resigned herself because everyone she cared about died, then I would have understood, but wanting to die just because she wasn't the favorite sibling made her look incredibly petty.

[Fluegel]

That's because all her good gear she gave to her little sister. And she was basically living alone over the frozen ruins of Moscow in the cabin. (You can see the city under the ice)

She clearly had enough of it all. Aside from the family issue, all her other sisters were dead, humanity was basically wiped out, and there was no point in fighting. The defeat the aliens, but whats left? She gets knocked up trying to restart the human race one PSS member at a time? Albeit that will happen at C81. wait for it.

See, I would have sympathized with her if she didn't exaggerate the family issue. Had I not seen Huke's artbook, I never would have known that she and Stella had more sisters. With just the story alone, it seemed more like she was tired of Stella than she was tired of losing everything.

[Fluegel]

She had her inferiority complex, but she did care for Stella, even if she didn't show it much. She was basically tsundere the entire time. Stella was the last...well anything she ever had. And not to mention as how Nana lost all of her comrades and was alone, Stella just lost all of hers as well.

They were basically 2 of a kind, and Stella going through everything Nana already went through. Passing on her gear was also part of that symbolism.

[Asuras]

I want that figma. Gimme gimme gimme. :love:

It truly does sound like the game was a flunk, really, at least in my opinion. The flaws I've heard sound like something that I would avoid altogether.

[Berzerker2k5]

Is it just me or Halo comes to mind?

Givson 7 reminds me of the Noble team from Halo Reach, and it takes place before Combat Evolved (part 1). They are a team and they all perish, save for one member. In Combat Evolved, it is Master Chief alone, with a bunch of regular human soldiers.

I don't know what other people think. .hack//IMOQ didn't have very good gameplay either but it was a successful series.

This game has a decent story, but until the second game comes out there are too many loose ends.

[Fluegel]

Actually my 1st thoughts when I looked at the art book were in fact Noble team. With Nana as 6....At 1st.

However unlike Nana who was a proto-type and Stella, Master chief had nothing to do with them, and also he came before all of them being a Spartan-2 where as Noble team were nothing but Spartan-III's. (Basically mass production spartan II's).

At least in 6's case, He/she despite only being III was, was regarded as a Hyper-lethal vector, and actually on par with the Chief.

If anything, The Gibson 7 were probably more like ODSTs, with Nana being the normal but still badass Sgt. Avery Johnson. (Johnson was a Spartan-I )

.hack// was only mediocre at best. Story was great, but the gameplay, and the horrible and bland main character of Kite was just too boring. It's what happens when they try to show little of the character to try and get the player to fill the role.

Where as with GU they abandoned that formula and just had a main character who was himself. And it worked, Haseo is still the most popular character in the franchise.

I agree with you. Similar yet at the same time, different.

[Fluegel]

Also while I'm sure my photos from my book gave it away, I did indeed open the White edition. Mainly because I didn't want to feel like I paid 146 bucks for a shiny box.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l139/Zerouette/Game/BRS/CIMG1249.jpg

It actually all looked a lot bigger in the nico video. But I guess the girl just had some tiny freaking hands.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

Well, figmas aren't that big, so yeah, the girl had tiny hands xD

Although Fluegel said they only own the figmas and nendos, if I remember correctly GSC has some rights over BRS, that's why they keep making figurines like there's no tomorrow XD Sometimes I wonder how much Huke wins out of all the BRS merchandise...

Well, Huke seems to be a fan of Halo and those kind of games, so it's no surprise for me XD

[Fluegel]

Actually if anything, they were probably based on Delta from Gears of War. Huke's actually a huge fan of the series. In fact not only is he a fan, but he designed Stella's weapon, the Daiharukon (The one you start with in the tutorial), modeled after the trade mark lancer from Gears of War. He even gave Stella her own personal logo similar to ghe gears logo.

I dunno, I think the original series was successful enough, especially if they have to throw in a Kite lookalike in every installment to the franchise. I agree the gameplay was mediocre, but the story seemed enough to carry the series. I'm hoping the story will be enough to make the BRS game series a success too.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

^ I agree on that. I want the BRS game to be more than just another way to earn money -w- And the anime too :S

There's so much wrong with that I don't even know where to....

A lot of the names aren't even right. And there's skills missing.

[Marcus H.]

^ That's where you step in, Fluegel. I haven't even bought the game.

[Asuras]

Were is that page? I can't find it... :\

/stupid.

[Fluegel]

I'll post info on the list later in, right now I have a class to get to.

FUCK. I entirely forgot classes started last week. I missed my morning one.

I hope you and Fluegel are able to finish it soon :) I'm sooooooo going to need that guide if I want to 100% the game once I get it XD

[Marcus H.]

War Blade? イクサブレイド -> いくさぶれいど -> 戦ブレイド -> War Blade.

[Fluegel]

Normally, maybe. However, It's written in Katakana. Where as anything they wanted to right in Hiragana or Kanji they actually wrote in the proper symbols. Such as the hammer upgrade, or Absolute-ZERO with a kanji. And with those 2 they also showed they had no issues mixing up the different characters.

[Marcus H.]

What about the passive skills? Are they numbered according to something?

[Fluegel]

That's how they're all listed from top to bottom of the list in the game, not specifically in the order you get them.

Also with the exception of Stealth, all non parameter based passive skills are gotten form chests. Not records. And unlike the attacks, they won't overwrite each other.

eg, Both After care and After Care+ will appear no the skill list.

Rocket Starter - Gives a 25% chance to start a battle with a 25% attack boost.

Stella has a 25% to start battle with a 20% increase, not 25.

[kenjiharima]

Will be waiting for the license game. Seems there is many things to do in BRS the game.

[Berzerker2k5]

I won't be talking about the gameplay, but the story.

I don't really consider the events of the EX missions (like the boss rematches/revenge missions) as canon.

I found the 'Plot-shots' quite funny. At the very start of the game, the PSS' guns were useless against the little eaters and the flying thingies. But then not too long after, Phobos (and a few other guys) were able to kill the big-cannon robot because BRS didn't take action (in the first playthrough). Then Mii not getting hurt by Phobos' shots. So, Mii and the smaller robots are more durable than the big-cannon bot? Oh well, in Mobile Suit Gundam, when Amuro uses Gundam in its first battle, the Zaku II's machine gun was totally useless against Gundam's Lunar Titanium Alloy. But on later episodes, Gundam can already get damaged from the machine guns.

Gray being shot by Lirio, then BRS shot by Gray using Lirio's gun. What came to my mind was the Phasers from Star Trek, it was set to stun.

I don't have much questions to raise nor I have seen any mysteries to ponder about (because there are no hints or clues), but why was BRS referred to as 'White'? (is it because she's the perfect clone?) and what is it that WRS wanted from her? I had a feeling that WRS might have wanted BRS to take her place or something like that, but I might be totally wrong.

A prequel is the most likely thing. After all, it was pretty clear that there is nothing to continue from the story as shown in the ending.

On my opinions;

The yuri vibes are strong here XD.

The game could have been much longer, story-wise. What makes the game last longer are the skill acquisitions/grinding and the unlockables (art, costumes, etc.). Even if the story wasn't anything spectacular, it was well done and it does have its charm. Its a really touching one in the emotional aspect. I found the characters likeable even if they weren't really standouts (personality-wise).

I never saw WRS as an incredible character. She was just like most villains. How the villains dealt with failure was indeed very Darth Vader/Palpatine-ish. Yes, she may have a really impressive character design but the game did not show much about her apart from being the head of the invasion and being the template for the clones.

She didn't strike me as an authoritative figure either. For example, I cannot just consider someone capable of blowing planets up one. Its all in the personality because just like in real-life and in several other fictional works, its a character's personality that draws some people in.

It is a rare instance for me to consider a character that. For example, in the anime Armored Trooper Votoms, one of the villains, Jean Paul Rochina, apart from his personality, he has this VOICE of his that conveys an air of confidence and authority. I am not comparing WRS to him, I am just setting an example.

To me she was a BRS attempting a DM (who had some really sexy vibes despite not wearing sexy clothes) approach, without the chase scene. Even before the BRS OVA was out, there was something I saw in the original Dead Master art. Something I cannot easily express in words, but it was her charm, and that charm had a personality. I am not bashing WRS here, these are just my thoughts.

Azuma and Lirio's designs reminded me of Zell's/Tidus' in some way.

Why were the apostles sitting their butts idly when they could easily crush the PSS or BRS herself together? Instead they die one by one in separate places. Villains, oftentimes don't learn from their mistakes, don't they? It would have made more sense if they were preoccupied with other matters to do, like perhaps participating in a separate battle elsewhere, and yes I'm aware its not possible because there aren't anymore humans left to battle with.

[Marcus H.]

why was BRS referred to as 'White'?

It's probably because she is the perfect clone. Well, it's obvious; BRS and WRS look like twins, and BRS needs something to awaken that side of her that will remind everyone of WRS. Besides, Stella is, as she said before, WRS.

I never saw WRS as an incredible character.

You have mentioned the answer here:

there aren't anymore humans left to battle with.

It turns out that the Aliens are given the human trait very few villains have: the sense of boredom. After 19 years of almost endless combat and eight deaths in the side of the Apostles (not sure about this), they came to a point that Earth is just one big Sims map. They have reached their True End, and without any more enemies to frag, what's left to do?

SZZU's probably randomly whipping CKRY elsewhere, while MEFE is blindfolded by XNFE and directed to whack a pinata (and LLWO is stalking MEFE as always). SAHA is building up his muscles, and MZMA...? I dunno. :uhoh:

As for Nana, clues to her former duties as member of Gibson 7 and the fates of her comrades have caused her to resort to pacifism; she no longer thinks that the world is worth dying for, so she is trying to live for herself.

1: They're not exactly the super friends, and were all waiting to back stab each other. The Only ones that actually liked each other were Mefe and Llwo, and that's because they were banging each other, Saha and loli bunny because they were a team, and also the S&M twins.

2: Sing Love's orders. She was basically the person behind it all.

As far as the other projects went, There were actually tons and tons of clones, but most of them all died in the wombs. The girls you see with Nana are all basically mass production Gray's. Spartan-III's to use as a reference.


Stella herself on the other hand is a 3 generation clone.

Also the extra missions are considered canon.

[Berzerker2k5]

I see. Thanks for correcting me.

I should have specified the boss rematches only. Did they get resurrected somehow?

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

War Blade? イクサブレイド -> いくさぶれいど -> 戦ブレイド -> War Blade.

Well, it does says "ikusa bureido", all in katakana, that means it is "ikusa" blade. And ikusa coul be written as IXA or EXA. Google translator translates it as EXA o.o

It's probably because she is the perfect clone. Well, it's obvious; BRS and WRS look like twins, and BRS needs something to awaken that side of her that will remind everyone of WRS. Besides, Stella is, as she said before, WRS.

Wait. WHAT?

I think I got lost somewhere...

[Berzerker2k5]

The WRS/Sing-Love matter must have its inspiration from Hatsune Miku. A possible reference to Vocaloid which was a vehicle to BRS' popularity? I know BRS isn't Miku, but back then, some people thought she was just one of Miku's personas.

[Shadow5YA]

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8913/singm.jpg

If the extra missions are considered canon, that means none of the Apostles were killed and the only ones who really died were the PSS members.

That calls into question what exactly they did do to each other. Mzma looked like he was eaten by Ckry, Szzu and Ckry were supposedly nuked by Xnfe, and Xnfe looked like she was offed by WRS.

In turn, that calls into question what WRS and the Apostles were planning. Do they really kill anyone, or do they just put them into some interdimensional limbo for losing The Game?

[Fluegel]

Actually more like Maya Sakamoto, who is a great singer aside from being an actress.

The events in the extra missions are canon, but the revenge battles for whatever reason aren't since they're just that. It's stupidly confusing, but then again the overall plot of the game was as well.

Besides, Stella is, as she said before, WRS.

No she isn't. >.>

Everyone else keeps calling her white.

Stella says it herself after the battle when WRS simply goes back to her chair and lays there.

Watashi wa, howaito jyanai....

Watashi was.......
then it fades to black.

PSS members say hi.

[Shadow5YA]

Actually more like Maya Sakamoto, who is a great singer aside from being an actress.

Which is why I sort of expected her to have a song in this game, but nope >_>

Aren't some of the apostles there outside of the revenge battles? I mean, some of the other EX missions are still from them.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

Now that I think about it....anyone cares to explain me the whole "The Game" issue? I read some pages back that it's not only the title of the game, that it had a meaning in the story or something like that <.<

[Fluegel]

Sing Love's playing some sort of game. She even says Last Boss when you fight with her.

[Marcus H.]

inb4 WRS saying "THE GAME, Earth lost it."

[Asuras]

You lost the game.

http://troll.me/images/troll/you-lost-the-game.jpg

[Shadow5YA]

4th wall breaking?

I find it strange how WRS went from being an idol to the harbinger of destruction. I wonder if Gibson made some challenge to her where she gives him her DNA to make clone warriors for a showdown.
The apostles could have easily wiped the Earth much sooner if they were serious about it. Maybe they were meant to hold back to face Gibson's clones. Since nearly all of Gibson's clones lost, the population was reduced accordingly.

[Fluegel]

It's not like that. In fact Sing Love is the only one who even mentions it. And it definitely wasn't 4th wall breaking.

[Shadow5YA]

Yes, but isn't she behind the Apostles?

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

Sing Love's playing some sort of game. She even says Last Boss when you fight with her.

Huh....interesting o.o...


Anyways, this is kinda out of the blue, but....which cannon is this one?

http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/5828/snap208.png

Like, it's the "normal" one, or is it from some skill or something? o.o [Like the vulcannon and others...]

[Fluegel]

Blue Square. It's the 2nd weapon she gets in the game, the one that Nana gives her along with her old clothes and booster unit.

And before someone pastes it in the wiki under some "types of rock cannons" section, that's not a rock cannon. Neither is Daiharukon and Hyperion. The only Rock cannon in the game the starter that's actually called Rock Cannon.

[Marcus H.]

Where would you categorize it, then?

[Asuras]

You don't, I say.

Just list off all the weapons, and their attributes? Unless of course there are enough weapons in the game that constitute categories based on fire-rate/weight/some-type-of-category/etc.

[Fluegel]

There's basically 2 categories. For armaments, and the skills that are attack based as sub armaments. As to the main weapons,

Rock Cannon (start off with): Attack:15/Shots:6

Blue Square (From Nana): Attack: 20/Shots 7

Dainharukon (Complete Record 6-7) Attack:50/Shots:8

Hyperion: (Complete Record 6-13) Attack:60/Shots:8

[Shadow5YA]

So is WRS in charge of the Apostles or not?

[Cosmic Eagle]

BTW how do you get the extra missions? At Moscow and have completed Free Hunting for all but haven't opened any extra missions...

EDIT: And you say the extras are canon? Then those Apostles you fight all survive the battles?

[Fluegel]

It's up in the air now. People are waiting for a perfect guide. Story wise, it's unknown. But don't forget the entire story revolves around cloning and copies of people. aside from the final EX mission for each apostle, they're most likely just in between segments.

So is WRS in charge of the Apostles or not?

Yes.

BTW how do you get the extra missions? At Moscow and have completed Free Hunting for all but haven't opened any extra missions...

You can't get the Extra missions until after you clear the game. After that you'll get 2 for the PSS, but that's it. To get the real extra missions you have to get the canon ending 1st.

After that the Nana EX mission pop up. There's 3 and a short episode.

-Nana's test
-Nana gets high in the woods
-Nana's looking for something
-Nana short episode

After that there's a scene with WRS and all the apostles in her....room thing. It's that picture I took and posted with all of them together, and green and purple feeling each other up.

After that each apostle will get 1 Ex mission, and the following ones will unlock once you clear the previous one for that apostle. Each has 4. 3 missions, and the final is a rematch.

After that the final mission, The Last Game will unlock. You have to fight all 6 apostles in a boss rush, and then Lv.55 Sing Love.

[Cosmic Eagle]

Ah I see thanks...

But if those you killed are clones....it would seem strange that the other Apostles seem to acknowledge their comrades' deaths...Most clearly in Mii and Llwo's case....unless they themselves don't even know if they are clones or not but that would be plain confusing..

[Berzerker2k5]

Ahh... Nojima's fondness for clones.

With these clone thing going on, nothing is real anymore.

God made mankind, but everything else, is made in China.

[wm4]

I took those mission as fan services. Of course, I don't think they are canonical.

I just remembered that the game specifies there are 7 out of the 15 Aliens survived.
It contradicted the clone theory. If the clone counted as the story go, the given number
of 7 is invalid, and the story is broken.
And I cannot see why they did not clone the other 8.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

Oh I see, thanks :) And I knew it weren't "types" of Rock Cannon or something XD Just wanted to know the name C:

Where would you categorize it, then?

Uhm....weapons? cannons?

There's basically 2 categories. For armaments, and the skills that are attack based as sub armaments. As to the main weapons,

Rock Cannon (start off with): Attack:15/Shots:6

Blue Square (From Nana): Attack: 20/Shots 7

Dainharukon (Complete Record 6-7) Attack:50/Shots:8

Hyperion: (Complete Record 6-13) Attack:60/Shots:8

So...the Vulcannon I've read somewhere would be a skill and not an actual canon like, for example, the Hyperion Cannon? o.o

Ahh... Nojima's fondness for clones.

With these clone thing going on, nothing is real anymore.

God made mankind, but everything else, is made in China.

I must say, I lol'ed so much at this XD

[Fluegel]

Vulcannon ->Volcane ->Vortex

They're just skills.It's just a coincidence cannon's in the name. As I said, there's just the one rock cannon. The other 3 main weapons aren't called rock cannons.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

^ Ooooh, I see.

And are the skills independent of the cannon you're using, or certain cannons has certain skills??

[Fluegel]

The only thing that the Rock Cannon/Blue Square/Dainharukon and Hyperion affect is the base attack power for each, and number of shots fired. They have no affect on skills.

[Fluegel]

1st week sales were 105,277 .

[Shadow5YA]

Is that good for a low profile game?

[Fluegel]

So so. Not as good since it also combines the figures for the normal and LE.

[kenjiharima]

Probably since many are just more interested in the figure than the game itself imho.

[Berzerker2k5]

I have a rather silly question, since the game covered; San Francisco, New York, Moscow, and Tokyo. What of the rest of the world? shouldn't there still be any remnants of the robot army(ies)?

[blitz1/2]

Does anybody know which track is the one for the flashback scenes in the ost?

But other than that, fav. track is still the Alien conference theme. xD

[Fluegel]

Best track is Black Ride. neither of the memory themes are on the soundtrack CD.

[SilverSyko]

Result of the costume vote from earlier, can't say I'm surprised:

I'm sure a quite a couple of folks will recognize it. Hell even I can.~

[Berzerker2k5]

I already knew that costume would be the winner. Its really inevitable...

[Shadow5YA]

What were the other choices?

[Berzerker2k5]

What were the other choices?

I only remembered the Bridal Gown and the Bloomers/Gym attire.

BRS in those costumes were drawn in chibi style

Sadly, since the contest was already done, they seem to have disappeared.

I'll try searching for them in the net. Some folks are bound to have screenshot(ed) them before it was over.

[Fluegel]

I blame you all for voting kurisu instead of waifu rock shooter. A pox on all of you!

[Berzerker2k5]

I voted for the wedding gown. Using another existing character's attire isn't really an interesting choice for me. But then again its not (and never) enough to stop those legions and legions of Steins; Gate fans.

[Shadow5YA]

Hey, I didn't even know this contest was happening.

I liked Steins;Gate too, but Kurisu's color scheme just doesn't fit BRS. It could have been better on Nana's design.

So, how is good is this game overall?

[Fluegel]

Pretty meh. You play it for the moe.

If you ask me, I think the "rule of cool" is more present in this game than moe is.

Not to say that it's totally absent considering the fetish-catering alternate costumes and light implied yuri scenes, but an apocalyptic alien invasion with gigantic deadly mechs squaring off against a limited amount of resisting armed forces isn't really the most convincing setup for something that's "moe".

The rule of cool is sort of hindered by having forgettable graphics on the PSP. The gameplay is also not very dynamic.

Stella on the other hand is a very endearing character.

[kenjiharima]

Just got my copy. I'll just wait for the licensed english version. Makes me wonder what are the things they're gonna cut out there, hope nothing.

[VashX007]

i do hope they will add an option in switching from English Dub to Japanese Dub like in BlazBlue Continuum Shift II :D or more better keep the original voices but if it's completely English Dub well >.<

Personally I'd like to see a dub. Mostly out of curiosity of which voice actress they'll choose for BRS, but secondly because of the setting in destroyed American cities it'd be more realistic too.

Also guys, not everyone here has played the game yet (like me), so I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk about plot without spoiler tags. At least until the localized game is released.

I don't know who Stella is and I don't want to know right now.

[Fluegel]

Destroyed american cities? The entire WORLD is destroyed. Look at the ground in Moscow, the entire country was basically frozen and your walking on it.

And that's only the 2 smallest stages, the rest of the game takes place all over the world. Japan gets 2 larger stages, and Tokyo got eaten by the city eater.

Also the moon, and inferior dubs, etc.

[SilverSyko]

What did I just say mate? I haven't played the game yet so I don't know anything more than what I've seen in previews. The only places I've seen in the previews are destroyed American cities. (I didn't doubt the rest of the world was affected either, since it is an apocalypse.)

Not to mention that if that it is where the game starts like you say, wouldn't that say something about where BRS was in stasis?

And dubs being inferior is for the most part entirely subjective. I don't dislike Japanese voice tracks, but I'm not Japanese so I can live without it.

[Shadow5YA]

Not all dubs are inferior. It's a case by case basis. Atlus did a decent job with the Persona games. Then there's anime like Cowboy Bebop.

[Shadow5YA]

Yeah, I was disappointed about all the hype around Sing Love being a top idol but there was none of it to be found in the game?

WHERE'S MY SONG MAAYA

[Fluegel]

That's why BRS2 is a prequel.

[Shadow5YA]

Oh, it was confirmed to be a prequel? Link please?

[kenjiharima]

There is a 2 already?! O_O Wow...

[Iron Maw]

Pretty meh. You play it for the moe.

Is the battle system decent at least? It kinda reminded me of "The Last Ranker" from the footage I saw.

DAT SMILE! I love it!

[blitz1/2]

Maybe the prequel would have Sing as a playable character and the relationship between her and the professor.

[Qikz]

I just got my copy today, I'm loving this. I can't explain why, but I love the combat system so far and the characters are pretty cool too. Rosco <3

Also, that costume contest on their website... Is that costume being added to the game in a patch? *loves Kurisu*

[Fluegel]

No, Just something Huke wanted to sketch since he was bored.

Wedding Stella barely lost so chances are he'll do that as well to please the other voters.

Cue inevitable Hatsune Miku comparisons...

[Qikz]

Well BRS' character design was based off Miku as far as I remember. (It was an illustration of a costume for Miku first I think).

This is awesome, just did the first bike section.

I thought it was just a design by Huke that happened to somehow look like Miku.

[Qikz]

My mistake. :heh:

[Fluegel]

BRS was never based on Miku, and looks nothing like her. One DFC doesn't make another DFC look like the 1st DFC.

[Asuras]

Just having twintails doesn't suddenly make you a rip-off of Miku. :heh:

[Shadow5YA]

People hear one song and think they're the same.

Huke's design came before ryo of supercell ever made the damn song using Miku.

[Fluegel]

They're not even twin tales, hers are uneven.

I'm talking about Sing-Love in that pic...

[Shadow5YA]

I'm talking about Sing-Love in that pic...

No... still no. There's nothing remotely similar except for the fact that she has twintails, and even then that's styled differently.

Since when did Miku ever trademark the twintail look?

[Cosmic Eagle]

Not even talking about her hair...

Since when was Miku even constrained to one outfit anyway eh?

[Marcus H.]

^ When the American version Miku came up.

Don't suppose anyone where has any Play-asia coupons do they?

I like the tongue action more. :p

[Cosmic Eagle]

the game technically real time but there is cooldown between skill which make appear to be turn based

When you reach the mission where you must rescue Nana's undeserving, whiny ass in 5 mins, then you'll see just how real time it is....

[BravoSix]

Rather making a game of BRS. They should make the f**ken animated series....

For those of you that have already played the game:

Anyone have a list of where all the Golden Dawn enemies are located for the Free Hunt missions? I cant seem to find a number of them and I'm trying to get the record for defeating all the Golden Dawns. I've played through all the stages a couple times over but I cant seem to find them all. I'm betting I missed one probably somewhere in either stage 3 or 4 but no luck yet.

[Shadow5YA]

Is there a list? All I did was search every single area accessible... though that's easier said than done.

I can't find them all myself....Only thing I can say is just try every corner where they might be hiding...IMO hunting in Jukai is much easier than Moscow.

[Fluegel]

2 hard ones to miss in Moscow is one in the starting area, and another literally at the end right in front of the bosses in a corner. Rotate the camera.

In san francisco there's a new. Most miss able is near the end near the boss on a roof that you have to jump towards.

Just thought I should bring to attention that there's currently a vote which will help NISA decide whether or not to release a limited edition box-set for the North American localization:

http://www.siliconera.com/2011/09/26/black-rock-shooter-fans-we-need-your-help-to-bring-the-premium-box-out-of-japan/


It'll include EVERYTHING the Japanese limited box had. WRS figma, art book and soundtrack (without the theme song "NO SCARED").

Even if you already imported it, a nice "yes" vote would mean a lot.~

I command all of you to punch the voting button like the fist of an angry God!

I wanted to play the game, so it being under consideration is a godsent. Since the vita will be able to play PSP games I'm in the green even if I don't get it until next year.

I was also planning a few months back to import a quantity of the japanese limited edition to resale. Thank god I didn't. Personally I could do without the artbook and the WRS figma. I'd much rather have an OST and the game.

[xBTAx]

I'm... kinda annoyed about that. I understand it was probably for contract reasons, but it would've been nice of NISA to announce it a bit sooner. The main reason I bought the JP version, fully intending to get the US version when it came out, was to get that Figma. I'm certainly happy that other people will be able to get it, but this means I lost out on a decent amount of money, especially considering the current exchange rate...

[Shadow5YA]

Depends... would this mean the artbook would get translated too?

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

^ ...Good question. I want to read the chronology <_<

[Asuras]

I just want that figma! :L

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

^ I already have it *¬* I must say it's awesome :')

[Asuras]

D:

I'm waiting to see if ebay will sell one without the bundle.

[Fluegel]

There's not much in the chronology.

Also voting no. Simply for delicious tears.

[Kimera_Kuroaki]

^ Hahahaa you're evil x'DDDD

Anyways....I'm asking again: Where did you got that book/magazine/whatever with the Sing Love pics? D:

And it's confirmed already that the second game will be a prequel? o.o

....Now that I think about it, how do you get all that info? XD

[Shadow5YA]

You're actually not the first I've seen do this. All of the people I know who imported the limited edition did the same.

[Nerroth]

I missed out on the JP LE for this game, but I have gotten LEs imported for various Type-Moon-related PSP games (such as Fate/Extra).

At the time, I had no particular expectation for any of the games in question to be brought over, or that they would come with any of the figures/assorted items the Japanese LEs had.

That said, had Aksys managed to offer the Figma with their LE of F/E, I wouldn't have begrudged anyone the opportunity of getting her.

(Actually, the first LE I imported was for Fate/Tiger Colosseum; I still use the PSP carry case I got with that game for my own machine.)

[Fluegel]

You're actually not the first I've seen do this. All of the people I know who imported the limited edition did the same.

**** YEEEAAAHHH

Haters gonna rule supreme.

Also, I doubt they'll bring it, this is just a troll by them.

As it's been confirmed that there will be NO UMD version of the game. It's PSN only. And I don't see them bringing over the Figma and Art pamphlet when that itself would cost a lot to produce for such a niche market. Pretty much anyone who really wanted the White Edition, already owns it.

[SilverSyko]

Haters of what exactly? English localizations?


As it's been confirmed that there will be NO UMD version of the game. It's PSN only.

Seriously? That's a bummer.

Well, I guess if it doesn't come with the game the limited box isn't worth it. To me anyway. Still a shame though since North America always seems to get screwed on these things for whatever reason.

Crossing my fingers for there to be at least a retail "normal" version.


Pretty much anyone who really wanted the White Edition, already owns it.

I don't agree with this. I'd imagine there are quite a few folk who would like it but can't get it for various reasons.

[Fluegel]

Then they didn't REALLY want it.

Huh... I didn't know that.

This changes everything. I don't really care for the extras if a hardcopy of the game doesn't come with it.

[shinku no kage]

Well if you're desperate for the figma you might wanna just try importing it from Japan. The game has already gone down 40% in price on the JP Amazon...which I'm kinda pissed off about since I paid full price. (T^)

[Izayoi]

I played this. It was a stretch to call this game alright, but my expectation should not have been that high given the game is based on moe and fandom. There is not a whole lot to the plot which consists of merely several uncoordinated boss introduction pieced together. The gameplay is based entirely on repetitive timing which got old pretty quick. The game should not be played for its gameplay aspect but for satisfying your fan desires. I am not flaming but this is just the impression I got from the time I spent on it. It also strikes me as extremely odd how the series, Black Rock Shooter, gotten so large from a combination of a song and some visual art.

[Marcus H.]

^ You should NOT play a JRPG for gameplay aspects.

[Shadow5YA]

The story is also too short and incomplete for me to consider it a great story either. I'll have to see how they're going to elaborate on this universe, but for now it's not that good of a standalone JRPG.

[Cosmic Eagle]

But it does have potential to outdo the original BRS storyline. They just need to expand more on this.

[Fluegel]

What story line, The original BRS never had a story to begin with.

It was just a drawing and a Nico video.

Looks like there will be a full OST release (http://jrpg.jp/news/?nid=233) over in Japan on the 26th of October, with 30 tracks from the game.

30? I can't even remember that many different tracks from the game.

Give me a vocal version of WRS's song by Maaya Sakamoto.

[kenjiharima]

Cool cover.

I hope the psp localized version will have the WRS charm.
