Support NeoGAF

[Azure Phoenix]

Sucks that Europe won't get a physical release, but with the state of Sega Europe it isn't a surprise. I already imported the game from Japan, but I'll make sure to import a US copy as well to support this release.

 

[Lockon]

Nice, got the Vita version but will support the NA release of PS3 version.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Does anyone know/think that the Japanese Vita version will be able to connect to the localized PS3 version?

You can only share on a Japanese account. So if you want to use your US/EU account your out of luck anyway.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Very cool! Got into the Japanese demo a couple of months back. Glad to see that Sega is going to take a chance with it.

 

[KillerMan91]

So Sega, where is my Valkyria Chronicles 3? WHERE IS MY VC3!!

 

[Jucksalbe]

So Sega, where is my Valkyria Chronicles 3? WHERE IS MY VC3!!

In Project X Zone.

 

[LuuKyK]

Are you kidding me? Unreal. Will buy.

 

[Lambtron]

Miku-chwaaaaaaaan~

Day one, copy for me, copy for my spouse.

I'm a bit bummed we don't get the Vita version too but I'm not terribly surprised it's not happening. To the people crying that this isn't Yakuza 5, I feel like it's more likely that it's coming if they announce this. This is really awesome, but it's definitely a pretty minor announcement compared to Yakuza 5... which is probably why it's being announced the week before.

 

[Cornbread78]

this game was released on japan a while ago.

I'm refering to releasing it on PS3 in US rather than VITA...

 

[Yazuka]

A damn shame it won't get a retail release in Europe. Guess I'll have to get a us copy then.
Great new by the way, didn't think the whole FB stuff would lead to anything.

 

[StarCreator]

Should I import the big ass controller too?

That ship sailed months ago. You could still get the mini controller (which is still larger than your typical arcade stick) though!

 

[1337]

Digital only in Eu? Damn, that blows. Would go digital for f, not so much F.

You can grab it right here http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en...3-hatsune-miku-project-diva-f-controller.html

but god damn those shipping costs sure are expensive. : [

 

[Kaizer]

Omg, if Yakuza 5 isn't announced next week I might cry.

 

[Stark]

I'm so freaking happy. Best news to wake up to.

 

[Solbringer]

YESYESYES, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Good thing I didn't import Project Diva F a few months ago.

 

[Tempy]

Pleasantly surprised. Will buy. Hopefully the DLC is priced well.

 

[dakkumauji]

Hey Koei-Tecmo, look at that. If Sega can release a retail copy of Miku out in the NA, I don't see why you can't do it with the Musou spinoffs! /jealous


Amazing news to wake up to. Day 1 and all that jazz!

 

[Clov]

Now this is great news! I'm glad that the Facebook campaign worked and Sega is taking a chance with this game. This August is going to be quite busy for me now...

 

[Auskeek]

Digital and Retail for NA.
Digital only for EU.

Demo next Tuesday!

I want to buy this game and send Sega EU (Au?) the message that we want their games here, but I really want a retail release!

Will probably end up importing.

 

[Malajax]

I was initially thinking going digital with this, but the print run is sure to be extremely limited given how niche this is. I think I want to own an actual copy if something like this never happens again and my digital copy gets lost to time.

 

[beanman25]

Great news. Retail all the way

 

[Rickenslacker]

Sega you crazy bastards, I love you.

 

[Rarutos]

This is great news!!! I wish it wasn't coming out in August though, that month is so packed.

Hopefully I can get it because I really want to support it.

 

[Rocky]

Just tell me when I can preorder it, lol. Hopefully the Vita version will come later, maybe even as a cross play download.

 

[Kincaido]

Have the Vita version but will buy this since I never imported the PS3 version.

Fucking cheap ass Koei-Tecmo.

 

[Mr.Monitor]

Retail? What? Fuck it, I'll pick it up.

 

[A Huge Battleship]

Never been that into Miku, but I suspect I'll buy this anyway. Will probably import the retail version from the US since I prefer physical.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Makes me a little mad since the game is coming to PS3 in NA and not Vita but as soon as I saw the news, literally a single tear fell. About time Sega.

 

[CSX]

shocked that this is coming over.

Not interested but got plenty of friends who would be

 

[Orpheus Telos]

Day 1 purchase.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Yep, day one. Thank you based Sega.

 

[Shizzlee]

I'm in. Good shit, Sega.

 

[RurouniZel]

I want the |OT| to be called:

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F |OT| TELL YOUR WORLD to get this game!

 

[Dolphin_Butter]

So getting this.

 

[Midnight Moon]

Waiting for NewEgg to put it up on Preorder. How long does it take them?

 

[chickdigger802]

I am ecstatic!

you haven't picked this up yet when it came out in japan?

 

[RurouniZel]

you haven't picked this up yet when it came out in japan?

Won't be the first time I've imported and then bought the later English release (Did it for Ar Tonelico 3 and Dragon Quest IX, will do for Project X Zone and Bravely Default as well)

 

[Danj]

Sign me up, I support Western releases of Miku stuff. Now where's my damn English Miku Vocaloid, Crypton?

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Poor Vita. At this rate I wonder if PSO2's going to make it even?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I'm glad a resisted to import it now.

 

[ArchAngel]

So, good. Own both, Vita & PS3 version + mini Controller, but I will import this from the US and get the digital EU version later on PS+

So good, thanks SEGA. Now cross-buy the Vita version and my wallet is yours!

 

[Squire]

Today is a great day.

 

[kayos90]

No Vita version? Says a lot honestly. lol.

 

[Sora_N]

Didn't even know they were gonna do this, might buy.

 

[StarCreator]

No Vita version? Says a lot honestly. lol.

As I just posted in the main Project DIVA thread, I can't help but feel that they just earnestly want to give the franchise a shot here, and the logical move is to start by targeting the largest install base. If this release does well maybe they will be willing to branch out from there.

Oh, I'm sure that's definitely the reason. I also think it's funny to note that I'd much rather play this game on the Vita than on the PS3. Idk how others feel but I'd say that this game would be much more enjoyable on the go and would've made the Vita good. Of coruse, assuming the audience is there, which in all honesty there isn't in the west.

Anyway, I understand why they're not bringing it over. I just find it funny.

 

[Kareha]

Nice, now to find a cheap pre-owned PS3

 

[Alboreo]

Not sure what to say other than holy shit, I didn't expect this.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

I'll double dip for this (since I had imported this).
