It has its own 1gb internal memory, but you can swap out memory cards between the Vita and this although your home page icon bubbles will be shuffled if you had them arranged.
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

Dungeon Travelers 2? Looks like it could be a promising dungeon crawler. I liked Demon Gaze and am hesitantly optimistic about this...

Also, anyone notice the subtle difference between the Japanese and North American cover art? Hmmmmmmmmm....................

Yeah it's a very ecchi centric game. As long as Atlus doesn't censor it, I'll buy it. Looks to be in the Lightning Warrior Raidy / Monster Girl Quest vein of things and I'm for it.

Looks like it is censored. In all seriousness, why would this bother you? There are scores of retro games that were censored and altered in various ways. And I suspect that the Japanese D rating allows for more than the American M does, hence the alterations.

My understanding is there are four images being censored.

Because censoring as a concept itself bothers me.

Yeah Mr.Popo was right: http://www.vg247.com/2015/04/24/dungeon ... tlus-vita/

I mean, GTA V has exposed penises, The Witcher and God of War have exposed breasts, but they're what, censoring camel toe and panties in this game?

Bleh. If it's only four images, I can deal with that. I can just go on the web and see what those images were supposed to look like.

Fair enough.

It's more of an ESRB issue than an Atlus one anyway. Many games with a "for teens" (C) rating in Japan become M-rated games in the US. And some D-rated Japanese games would (theoretically) be AO in the US without content removed. So yeah, the alterations make sense.

Moving on, I'm charging up my Vita as we speak. I still need to finish Memories of Celceta.

The biggest thing is that Japan is much more accepting of loli content than the US is. On Gamefaqs there was a series of threads trying to guess at what the censored images could be, and they tended to include obviously 6-8 year old girls in very sexually suggestive poses.

That's what I was thinking. The art style can read as underage, even if it's not officially representing that (or changed to claim characters are older in some versions, etc). Similar to changing bikinis to shorts in Bravely Default or TERA (Elin race).

The game in question is getting an M rating. When other M rated games can have exposed genitalia and breasts, and the ESRB is okay with that... leads me to believe maybe Atlus is worried about pedophilia perception issues after all. This issue is usually skirted around by claiming they are older in the USA versions as mentioned. It's not that I want to see scantily clad girls of questionable age. It's just that I don't like censorship. If Atlus was removing crosses from the game I'd still not be happy about that. Whatever I'll buy it anyway because it's not like USA Vitas are awash in new JRPGs.

Anyway, have fun with Celceta Bone. Looking forward to your consensus of that one. I own it, but haven't played it yet.
