Dragon's Crown (Vanillaware RPG, now 2013 all regions) announced for PS3/Vita

Would I be late to the party if I pointed out that I find it stupid that not only is there no cross buy (which is fine, I guess, it's not a Sony title), but there is also no cross-platform multiplayer in a game that allows save transfer and seems to have complete parity between both versions?

I'm sure there's a reason for it, but that doesn't make it any less lame.

I bitched about the same thing earlier in this thread.  It seems like a bizarre move.  I think when the game was first announced it was intended to have cross-play, but something changed during its protracted development cycle.  I guess they just wanted to get it finished and released.

Vanillaware is mostly artists, not programmers, after all...

Just hope there's enough artbooks for me to get one. I'll definitely be on this game day 1 co-op. Anyone decide what class they're going to play yet? I'm probably going amazon as her trailer shows that she has the Zero pizza cutter move, and if Megaman X 4 taught us anything, it's the only move you need.

Either the warrior or the rogue/archer chick. Warrior is my go to character in any D&D type beat em up...outside PSO, which is always ranger.

Maybe not, I'm not sure.

it should, castle crashers added a lot of replayability with character building and stuff. Gotta grind for those skills and phat lewt

The squirrel in the first picture is playing a Vita.

There is nothing more adorable than that.
Nothing.

Everything else can go home, it's all over.

But how does the squire use the rear touch screen?

[Yggdrasil]

^He's playing Tactics Ogre.

[Kevadu]

I'm confused...is the squirrel a squire?

[Aeolus]

^He's playing Tactics Ogre.

How can I play Tactics Ogre on the PSVita?

And there's no confirmation that the squirrel isn't a squire. The little beastie could just as easily be like Cornelius from Odin's Sphere in that it could occasionally show up to become a bouncing, whirling, buzzsaw of doom.
