Is this still planned for release on other platforms (Xbox One...maybe Switch?) at some undefined future date? Not a port beg, afaik it was planned to coming to Xbox at least at some point.

Yes, still planning to do an Xbox One version.
We're going to see if we can do a Switch version too, but we haven't dug into that yet. We got a positive response from Nintendo regarding the game for Switch, but we haven't jumped into that yet (we have enough on our plate at the moment)

I want to hold out for the "limited run" vita version, but I also want it day one!

Decisions decisions... I'm torn!

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

The soundtrack is now available for preorder on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWTRSL3/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Review codes will go out next week (probably Tuesday). No embargo. Kickstarter backer codes should all go out sometime before launch.

Why not just preorder? You'll get the psv version later. This is what I plan to do:

Remote play the ps4 version on my vita

Play as much as I want

Then play the rest native on my Vita when it arrives.

 

[evilsin]

This is exciting! Will definitely pick this up in the near future.

 

[AgentOtaku]

I wanna preorder but was hoping to see some recent gameplay footage first

Anyone got a link?

thanks

 

[FusedAtoms]

No, it's not.

Didn't know this 😔😔

[Suburban Thug]

Will be buying!

 

[Amir0x]

I feel like I've needed this in my life forever, can't wait to dig in.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

+1 for Vita support.

 

[Sillverrr]

It feels like weird timing, the oft-delayed, spiritual successor to a beloved JRPG (Chrono Trigger) coming out in the wake of Persona 5 - itself the oft-delayed sequel to a beloved JRPG franchise. With P5 already a 100 hour commitment, I wonder who will be left to purchase CSH day one...

I hope I'm wrong, as this game looks equally fantastic to my SNES-era appreciating self.

 

[Jack Random]

Gonna hold off for Vita as well. I like a good rpg for my commute

I'll keep an eye on my inbox!

It's definitely unfortunate they couldn't squeeze it out a couple of weeks earlier. Hopefully P5 won't affect the sales that much. I'll probably buy the game day one even though I won't have any time to play it until probably around May.

 

[Admiral Snackbar]

I backed this for PC and am very excited for the team.

Personally, I will be waiting for a Switch release to sit down and play it. It's simply too good a form factor for RPGs.

I also want it portable, so I'm going to remote play to Vita in bed

Me? Well OK I already paid for it as a backer, but if I hadn't, I'd have gotten it day 1. Couldn't care less about P5.

Would like to buy this for PC but Persona 5 will have me busy for weeks. And I don't have any room on my Vita left...

Basically, Sony came to us and offered us a slot in their indie promotion and we felt that the visibility gain we would get from that outweighed the proximity to Persona 5.

We also do have some advantages - our game is a fraction of the price, requires less of a time commitment (and is probably much faster-paced from what I've heard), has a fantastic, original combat system that I'm especially proud of, and perhaps most importantly, is available on more platforms. I'm thinking we might have a lot of instances of RPG fans getting excited for Persona 5 but not have a platform to play it on and instead transfer that excitement to Cosmic Star Heroine.

 

[Falk]

Dat soundtrack.

Realistically though, I'm not sure how common an RPG fan without a PS3/PS4. I'd instead choose to believe that despite the time commitments for JRPGs, there are few enough quality turn-based games that people will be buying both, not choosing one over the other. Medium-long term, at least.

 

[nampad]

Please hurry up with the Vita version, preordered the PS4 one due to cross buy.

you have it right, I will be playing CSH and not Persona 5, cuz on PC.
I'm really glad to hear about that fantastic combat system.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Yeah, I'm still not tired of our soundtrack. It's so good.

Yeah, I expect a lot of this as well. Just pretend Persona 5 costs $12-$15 extra.

 

[Indelible]

Been looking forward to this, I will check it out on Steam.

 

[pablito]

Hmmm! I think I found the game to play after Persona.

 

[Shredderi]

I'm just about to wrap up Hollow Knight so I'm ready for another indie gem right after it! This year has been really good on both the AAA and Indie side of things.

 

[Grisby]

Aw yeah. Finally.

 

[Mrbob]

This game on Steam April 11? Also 11.99?

Steam page looks unfinished.

What's wrong with the Steam page?

 

[Arthea]

What's wrong with the Steam page?

nothing wrong with it as far as I can see, all information is available, maybe he means lack of ability to buy?

 

[Skilletor]

Is this coming out on Vita on 4/11 as well?

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Is this coming out on Vita on 4/11 as well?

No, the Vita version will come out later.

 

[Greatest Ever]

No, the Vita version will come out later.

((((((((((

 

[ThatStupidLion]

going to be so disappointed if theres no cyborg that transforms into modes of transportation!

edit - congrats on releasing it @Robert. remeber you posting bits and pieces of this a long time ago around gaf

 

[DeviantBoi]

Any idea on when backers that selected the PS4 version will be getting their download codes?

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Any idea on when backers that selected the PS4 version will be getting their download codes?

I'm going to try to send backers their codes when we send out media codes later this week. Might take a little longer since there are thousands of backer codes that need to be sent out as opposed to dozens of media review codes.

 

[Famassu]

Probably gonna use my March spend 50 get 10 euros promo money to buy this just so that I can play it for cheap ASAP and don't have to wait or feel too guilty for doubledipping and buying a physical copy as well, whenever that releases. Assuming I like this.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Preordered via PSN,

Looking forward to playing on vita on the 11th, my PS4 will be in Memphis and my vita will be in Florida...

 

[Big Chungus]

Will kickstarter supporters get the game early?

 

[jaina]

Robert says maybe, 4 posts above.

[Grisby]

Aw damn, I thought the vita version was gonna be the same day too.

 

[Mrbob]

What's wrong with the Steam page?

When can I buy this game.

 

[Strangelove77]

This looks really cool. Any info on game length or side content/optional quests?

 

[Interfectum]

Is PS4/Vita crossplay? Can I start playing on PS4 and then just move over to Vita when that comes out?

Unless Persona 5 is an absolutely massive improvement in those areas over 3 and 4, being better paced and having a better battle system both shouldn't really take much

Anyway, that aside, do you think that there will be any issues running CSH on a GPD Win 10 (basically an Atom with last-gen Intel integrated graphics)? Given that it runs on Vita I shouldn't think so, but there can always be strange incompatibilities.

We're guessing it'll take most people 15-20 hours. Yes, there's optional content (mini-dungeons, some character stuff, super-hard bosses, etc.).

Is PS4/Vita crossplay? Can I start playing on PS4 and then just move over to Vita when that comes out?

The game isn't cross-save at the moment. We'll try to get it in but no guarantees.

No idea. The game runs well on everything we've installed it on but I haven't done a lot of testing on different systems.

How long does the platinum trophy take? Is it too difficult?
