According to amazon Virtues Last Reward (Vita) is frequently bought together with Virtues Last Reward (Nintendo DS). Add both to basket?

Hmm, no....

Got this ordered, haven't played 999 though. Is that gonna be an issue do you think, should I get that first?

No, but if you are going to play 999 then do it first as VLR will spoil some of 999 for you otherwise.

Is it possible to have 2 separate saves on this? I want it for the gf as much as myself.

Yes, normal Vita save system. It saves to the game card, by the way.

Sensational game. That is all.

Edit: English voice overs are brilliant, highly recommend importing the US version.

^^ Agreed. Can't imagine playing the game without the English voice overs. They really added to the game IMO.

It would be the same thing as playing Portal 2 muted.

Just finished this, and I was really impressed. Characterisation was generally very strong, and script was top-notch - easily the best localisation of Japanese dialogue I've ever come across. Some may argue that some of the humour was a bit too childish given the subject matter as a whole, but personally I really appreciated the change in pace and tone every now and again.

I was shocked to see Eurogamer only award VLR a 7/10 when they the site as a whole seems so keen to promote lesser-known titles that try to do something a little different. I honestly cannot remember coming across another game quite like this that has seen release in the West. To make matters even more confusing, it won GameSpot's Handheld GOTY, basically confounding my expectations of the two sites completely.

@Murbal - as you play though multiple story threads, that keeps coming up

Really is a quality game - certainly one of my top 5 for 2012.

By far the best game I've played on the Vita thus far. Sunk 45 hours into it and every time when I thought I was getting to the end more would come! Loved ever minute of it.

I imported a copy but now I have finished, if anyone would like to save the hassle of importing it themselves (to get the english voices) then give me a shout and you can buy my copy. I'm more then happy to share this fantastic experience! I'm London based.

Just so you know, save files are on the game card. If you're completely done with it and never plan to play it again then that's fine, but I just thought I should mention it.

I'm just about to do my last run through on 999 I bought it same time as Virtues Last Reward. PM me if you are interested in buying it.

I picked up the US version and even though it was about a tenner more than the EU version it was worth every penny for the voices!

cockney robots FTW!

The plot was fantastic as well, I didn't think it could get any crazier after 999, how wrong I was.

Bring on the 3rd game! Also, who the hell is Phi? So many questions! Thank fuck the 3rd game has been confirmed. Fingers crossed for another excellent English dub.

Exactly. It's worth it for the cockney robot alone.

Heh! There's a bloody garden!

Really didn't enjoy Clover's ending :-(

At least there were no axes.

Bearing down on the 30 hour mark. Can't see myself being done with it any time soon though - plenty of endings to go!

Now the locks - when they're green does that mean I'm ready to go back to them?

@Murbal Hmm, I think so. You can always skip, fast forward, and see if it stops.

Finally bought this. Should have it tomorrow \o/

I know it has multiple endings, but how long is one playthrough?

I want to be finished by the time Persona 4 releases in Europe.

I've about 29 hours in and have about half the endings. That's not to say it's a 60 hour game - my progress towards those missing endings is at various stages. You'll see. I reckon I may have up to another 10 hours to go.

@ZizouFC - I think I clocked in at around 32 hours, playing all endings.

Can you do 30 hours in a month?

Remember that you can click on any part of the flow to jump straight there. Hit square to cycle to skip if you've heard it before.

I didn't realise these things for about 10 hours.

That must have been a relief when you realised! I love the writing but I was very grateful for the skip button by the end.

I'd say! Had to play through a couple of storylines again when I did though. If I'd never realised, I'd never be getting the revelations :-)
