Wow that looks pretty good. What's there to it besides fighting and that puzzle? How's the story, conversation, world, cities, and side quests. I missed out on the JRPGS of the PSP and the PSone era was my favorite time for gaming, so many good RPGS. So you known my favorites are FF 7-10, Suikeden 2, Lunar Silver Star Story Complete, Wild Arms, Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger/Cross. With such poor JRPG intergration this gen I've stayed away from a lot of titles for fear that they are trying to hard to be "japanese quirky" instead of serious titles. It's the same with anime really, way too many poorly done bad shows not enough Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Wing, or Death Note.

So guys the director of Final Fantasy type 0 says he would like to make a game for the vita. I'd like for him to put type 0 on vita but I'd settle for a new title ;)

I'm probably the wrong person to ask since I've only played Ys: Origin (the PC version).

But my understanding of it is that the series as a whole is very much traditional action-RPG.  Some dungeon crawling, some exploring cities, some side quests and all that.  Ys has a very time & skilled based combat system that's a lot of fun, and the boss fights (at least in Origin) were always awesome.

As for the story, I'm not entirely sure what Ys' story is.  I think each one is separate.  But if not, this is the fourth game in the series, and you can buy 1 - 3, 6 & 7 on PSN (at least in EU).  So it might be worth looking into if you're a fan of JRPG's :)

I buy physical because I can't afford not to. It has nothing to do with collection anymore, digital provides the best mode for collecting games. They are tied to your account giving you essentially limitless quanitites. Physically I am able to sell my games when finished, even though it kills me I am under the burden of student debt. Hopefully that changes soon. People make a big deal about digital, but I see it as an enhancement of ownership. I think it must be all of the Steam users who get shafted via online activiation. PSN though, that's ownership. Think about all the digital PSP games someone could have bought last gen, they can play them on Vita. That's ingrained backwards compatibiilty and as long as you hold an account you have access to whenever you want.

I will look at buying a digital title when I know I want to keep it forever and not sell it. A physical title, means far less to me now. Back years ago a physical copy meant something because digital didn't exist. Take FF7 for instance. It was selling for $140 at a local gamestore. I had my copy until someone stole it, so pissed. Anyway, after it released on PSN for $10 the price of the physical copy shot down to $20-40 relatively quickly. Same goes for all physical games, they are finite and no longer the only means of aquiring.

Excellent, excellent news.  A new Final Fantasy specific to Vita would be awesome.

But seriously, they need to get Type-0 to the West.  Soon.  Just port it to Vita already, c'mon!

Tomba is finally here for EU ps3/psvita owners! Though for the moment it doesn't work on psvita and I don't know what to do :(

@bolded: Really, I loved his lvl 2 speacial, I got all three other players with it. but you're right playing with Kratos does feel so natural, as for jak, I think his level 2 special consists of him jumping in the air with the stun gun then slamming down on them.

Aaaaand a slightly less positive look at Black Ops: Declassified.

Non really, it's just popping one out of the system and putting a new one in. You do need to Power Off the console before changing though which is where it might be a hassle for some people.

I'm doing the same as you. Holding fire slightly to avoid the whole paying full price for it to be reduced a week later, but I dont get the hate over $39.99 for the game in the US. The Wii ver was one of this generation's (inc PS3/360) best games. I can't wait to get the Vita ver which is meant to be improved in every way. It's almost enough to make me wish I wasn't saving for a wedding next year. Luckily I'm selling all my 3DS stuff so I should be able to get NLKS as well as NFS:MW and WRC3 :D

According to whats going around the hacking sceen, the "psp cfw" for vita has some sort of kurnel access and its possible to launch psp iso games..

I'm not gonna lie, I've used cfws on my psps since the psp1000s and free game is awesome! I'm 100% sure that everyone and their grandmas who are saying that "oh but I just want homebrew and snes emus and genesis emus and such" are lying through their teeths. They will put psp isos on their Vitas.

The difference between then and now is that I've already bought Crimson Gem Saga, Persona 3, GTA Liberty City Stories, Power Stone Collection, KOF95 and FF Disidia (or whatever its spelled) from PSN and IT IS AWESOME to see those nice little Icons on my Vita and am not about to start putting shit on it. Plus I'm loving PSN

Also I have a psp with cfw now (well my son does) and......
