Arggh bring Demon's Souls to Europe already. I cant resist this!

More like gamers in Europe devasted, since this deal will likely never reach in here, if even some publisher would even publish Demon's Souls.

This makes me even more glad I pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition yesterday.

I believe this is the only game I will have ever bought twice.

I hope it sells decently in North America, or else the blue/black phantom community will suck. I may return to the asian version if that is the case.

Good news.  What's the latest on improvements to the game?  I had heard that there will be more character shadows (gasp) in the new release; what does everyone know about how they will tweak gameplay/multiplayer functionality?  I remember seeing an interview where I believe they said they were making further improvements in such areas.

This is a definite purchase for me, either way.

This is definitely enough to get me to pre-order.

Soundtrack? A lot of the time there are just ambient noises... lol

Still, I hope these bonuses get some fence sitters to buy it.

Day one

They patched shadows into the Asian/Japanese versions. The only differences AFAIK is a cleaned up english translation (so no more sticky white stuff) and according to Atlus different servers for online play.

All the changes have been patched into the asian/jp versions so far.  There were a few balance tweaks and bug fixes, but there were two pretty big chagnes: the re-addition of shadows for most character models and a few other objects and a much smoother framerate (thoguh there are still some dips).  My only issue with the changes so far is that the sun is the only light source in the game that seems to cause a shadow. =/

I hope they re-add the nice lens flare effect from the trailers as well.  The game is coming closer and closer to what it was in the trailer, but it's not quite there yet.

I'm hoping they just cleaned up the text and didn't redo the voice acting.  The original British VA'ers are great.

And it's Atlus.  I'm sure they'll keep some bits of humor like Sticky White Stuff.  Hopefully they'll remove the rather annoying "This is harsh. Evaluate me" message everyone uses.
