3rd Fleet Podcast #41 | Gaijin Falls in Love with Soul Sacrifice

[@IrionMonk0]

I would totally watch Ruri/Gaijin play God Eater and Toukiden

[@rowellbeast]

A remake with more console like gameplay in mind would be interesting.

[@drapas]

"Dullahan Armor+Red Riding Hood Spear+Feather" gang rise up

[@lilfuzzballa]

My most anticipated guest would be Maximillian Dood. But I have the feeling that it won't happen because he's not apart of that elite group of "Monster Hunter content creators." But he is a huge fan of monster hunter and always has interesting perspective and discussion around things. He always makes for a great guest on podcasts, in every single one I've seen him in.

[@the7alchemist]

Maximilian would be so great in this podcast. Hopefully we can get him on it

[@gamestorm3176]

I bloody love this game to the point I made a homebrew class for it in dnd just to keep it alive for me. All my friends never played it but they would love too. For me I would cry if I found it on ps5 just because the story was so amazing and emotional to me

[@darkhellskull]

I lost my psychical copy of Soul Sacrifice years ago and never got Delta. This podcast got me to turn my vita back on and get Delta, thank you so much.

[@IThinkIStoleYourSandwich]

Been waiting all day for this episode to drop!

[@MKPwrz]

I actually prefer the English names they gave us because at the time i didn't know which tale/story I was doing so bk then I had no idea he was Merlin. Magusar always sticks with me as the Soul Ssc character

[@Bobby_Muggs]

Lets get this remade!

[@mhk6943]

Oh my god guys thank you for the notice that Nioh is free in the Epic Games Store at the moment for a limited time. I would have completely missed it if it wasn't for you two Legends

Then watch skillup he talk about the free games in epic every week. So you know if there any game you want.

Ive bought a Vita and Soul Sacrifice Delta so I can join in on the fun. I’m so glad I did. And what a great system the Vita is !!

[@DogcrotchHell]

really enjoyed hearing about the game thanks guys!

[@ThatReviewerGamer]

SSDelta is pretty cool, I have the physical version, asian exclusive in English with all the delta dlc on cartridge, I just wish changing between spells was more dynamic.

[@henseltbrumbleburg3752]

I just recently got into Soul Sacrifice, so this whole thing is perfect timing.

[@jacebeleren1703]

I started playing SS Delta for the first time yesterday, and i'm loving it so much that i'm seriously considering gifting a Vita to a friend so we could play together! (They go for about 100€ on fb marketplace around here). Thanks for one more great podcast, Ruri! Now i'll go play some more Soul Sacrifice Delta.

[@abnormalegor5500]

I am so glad more people play this game.

[@cuttz]

Having played the Soul Sacrifice beta and being hooked since then, this makes me really want to get back into SSD. *blows dust off vita*

[@BoostedMonkey05]

Still hate the term "character action game" because it is so terrible as a descriptor of what the gameplay is going to be like. God of War, Bayonetta, and Devil May Cry are Spectacle Fighters because the primary focus of combat is not efficiency but looking cool and badass.

[@sacred944]

Davi Vasc for the podcast one day plz and talk about the music of Monster Hunter as it is not praised enough

[@GarliccDread]

Yess I love Davi's work and videos ☺️

Man, I really wanna play this game now. Gaijin makes it sound so cool.

And for my third comment on this video; If you guys want incredible characters, mad and epic story that credits the reader with intelligence and rewards deep diving, deliberately written for multiple reads, fully fleshed out world and universe laws, THE BEST TWISTS AND TURNS, and makes game of thrones look like pokemon... You need to read the Malazan book of the fallen. Seriously changed my life.

[@razielgrave224]

I have a limited edition soul sacrifice themed psv, bought ssd, oboro muramasa, gravity daze, toukiden, too bad sony gave up on vita.

[@naivix6935]

To those who care and don't know, there is a soul sacrifice discord who always love new people.

[@lockedlake]

Guys... I just learned about this game a few days ago, thanks to you guys, and OMG I love it. This game really deserve to get a re-release outside ps vita!!!

[@ethangnasher3848]

Is funny, because where I live at least I remember a videogame magazine giving a review of the game, got me hella pumped thanks to the art they put on the two pages dedicated to it... Sadly never got a PSVita, but someday...

[@anthose2955]

This whole time I've been playing the original for years not understanding what delta was. Now I have started the delta and I cant believe how much bigger it is I may have to buy that Hong Kong copy

[@AnotherBrokeGeek]

Glad to see Soul Sacrifice finally get some well deserved attention. Still need to get Delta. They've added so much according to what Gaijin said. Looks like I gotta finish some games on my PSTV so I can make some stuff for it. And Rurikhan, the PSTV can mimic the touch controls by clicking L3 and R3, and the touch pad on a DS4 if I remember correctly. I know that the Soul Sacrifice doesn't work on PSTV, and part of the Japanese reveal of the PSTV showed it running Delta. Sony does have a white list for games that are able to boot on the system, and they differed by region if I remember correctly

[@peepeetime1]

The traversal in Forspoken kind of reminds me of a more refined version of the traversal in the last FFXV dlc "Episode: Ardyn". I'm happy Square-Enix gave the FFXV dev team a chance to make their own ip. Hopefully the finished product is great.

[@BadButterfly65]

I just dont want anything near the combat 15 got. It does not look like it. So hopes are high.

[@AdamG]

I put off Soul Sacrifice 7 years ago, this got me back on track. Borrowing my brother's vita and have a Japanese copy of delta on it's way. Thanks

[@JohnShaft1469]

PLEASE consider posting a VOD of a full PT for SSDelta!!!

[@blockington99]

"grotesque versions of classic fairy tales" people always forget how fucked up original fairy tales are because their so used to the overly friendly disney versions and the like, for example the classic ending to Little Red Riding Hood involves the woodsman cutting open the wolf's stomach to free the grandma and then stuffing it full of rocks and torturing it by placing it just out of reach of water while it can't move because of the previously mentioned stomach full of rocks

[@drapas]

Are fairy tales fucked up? Yes, no doubt about it. Grotesque? Not in a sense that soul Sacrifice is. Because damn there are some Berserk-worthy designs and they are all sorts of fucking weird - Odin with his Brain-horse, Fetus-gods, Ouroboros whose design might've as well represent biblically accurate angel (well, less eyes and rings, but still), Leviathan who's just weird, all the rest look like a distorted parody on fairytails, which they also don't hide, since there are great fragments of stories in monsters' entries. Then there's also aspect of the Sorcerers in general with Save or Sacrifice system, with the underlying things happening between sorcerers of different factions Man, that game is great, ima go play through it again

[@lynxfresh5214]

I would be willing to "sacrifice" some "souls" to get Soul Sacrifice on current gen consoles. Easily my favourite "hunter genre" game that isn't Monster Hunter.

[@skulltula1352]

I see what you did there 😏 👍

[@WarriorCicada]

It sounds amazing I have been looking for something else that hits the spot like MH,I tried both Dauntless and God Eater 3,but neither one really held my attention like Monster Hunter dose,but Soul Sacrifice seems like it would.

[@Ocean5ix]

I know it's like 0.9% of the video but Ruri, you should try using the motion controls of Gran Turismo Sport on the PS4. It's the closest thing a controller will ever get from becoming a wheel. There are videos of sim racing nerds trying the motion controls for the first time after playing decades with wheel and they literally match their best times within 4 races. That's how good it is, and I 100% expect it to be on GT7. As for Gaijin, WRC9 is a rally game and it's one of the best uses of the DualSense so far.

[@jeslan9773]

Correction: the Infamous games are made by the company Sucker Punch, not Insomniac.

[@glitchmeister1177]

might the gunlance damage reduction shown be because you were fighting monsters that were resistant or immune to fire? gunlance shells and stuff do have some fire damage in them after all and the patch list doesnt show a damage decrease but the 3.2.0 shows that artillery was not applying to the fire damage portion of the shelling but now is

[@IThinkIStoleYourSandwich]

Commenting for the interaction

[@thaneesquire5038]

I wanted to play this game so much but when it came out I had so many financial priorities that it slipped through my grasp, I really wish for a remake a la FFVII

[@HunterG5]

my fav games for the vita is soul Sacrifice and Dragons Crown. I got the vita to play soul Sacrifice

[@GlitchedVision]

I totally miss this game... I honestly think the rerelease would go perfect on the switch because of how pick up and play it is over all.

[@chaoschalice]

i bought a vita because i was following vita list of games religiously since i was a psp gamer for a while and soul sacrifice was one of the games that i keep imagining playing, i even ask a friend who has vita before me how was the game but they didn't seem to like it(they were playing the base game) but everytime i watch a youtube video of the gameplay my interest just grew bigger and bigger so when a someone from my local ps group wanted to sell his psvita i jump on it then someone else wanted to sell their physical copy of Delta(it was for the asian market but its was in english)for $15 this was actually the first game i bought for my vita. never regret that purchase actually i feel that it was a steal on how lucky i was on the purchased

[@worstwordmonger]

I’ve never heard it called Playstation TV in the US. It was always the VitaTV

[@CEDL0W]

Ok

[@LegendaryBattalion]

World is a lot of people's first mh game, so it holds a special place with a lot of people.

[@sarcirinsdaefarin3950]

*oh my gog* I didn't even pay attention to who was making the wolverine game. I played the crap out of the first two Infamous games because of how much fun it was and the combat only made it more fun. I've been meaning to play the other series in the infamous world but all I can hope is that wolverine comes to PC now. Sucker punch does good stuff :)

[@LaughingBat]

Crossing my fingers for a steam release of Soul Sacrifice. I have a vita, but swore off giving them money after a recent encounter.

[@jacebeleren1703]

Well then, why don't you softmod your Vita? ;)

[@LaughingBat]

@@jacebeleren1703 lol So I actually used to have it soft modded for streaming steam games. I unmodded it so I could buy mhfu. Never got around to remodding it.

[@jacebeleren1703]

@@LaughingBat I bought MHFU while mine was modded to 3.60 and had no issue. And i will maybe buy SS Delta so that i can play online.

[@Weedbongz]

@@LaughingBat You could've just downloaded an ISO and play it there with Adrenaline, along with the rest of the PSP MH games. I get wanting to support the developers, but Capcom isn't making it easy to play older MH games. Also, MHFU is the only MH game available on Vita in NA, while EU has every game except P3rd and JP has all of them, so screw you if you want to play any game before MHFU. People wonder why people use emulation and ROM sites, and it's because the free alternative is so much better than the one you have to pay for, along with being far more convenient.

[@Kegaran]

Gaijin you joined the right faction, Sanctuary and spear is the best!

[@pablosoria4071]

All this talk about Soul Sacrifice and the brief mention of Toukiden actually made want to play those games XD I´m searching for those games on Amazon and cex and found them at reasonable prices but since I don´t have my Vita around right now I don´t know if they are cheaper as a digital version, could someone let me know or if there are better offers? The delta version of Soul Sacrifice is a bit mor expensive than what i Thought XD Also, which Toukiden game should i start with?

[@jacebeleren1703]

Toukiden Kiwami, its the G rank version of Toukiden age of demons. SS Delta is probably a biiit cheaper digitally compared to getting an asian physical.

I just dusted off my old vita cant wait to play my max blood sanctuary character it's sad I always wanted to play this with someone

[@champ6436]

What annoy me is that Soul sacrifice WASN'T some hidden unknow gem; it was one of the most popular game of the vita (together with gravity rush) it was a system seller and they were ton of news and hype for the game. basically everyone who was interested in the vita or MH like game knew about this game (or maybe i just hangout with too many MH enjoyer '-'). i remember that it was for a long time, first, in populary poll for the vita on some french video game site and the forum for the game on that site were also full of member. It sadden me that such an unique game which was more popular than killzone mercenary, toukiden ,god eater at that time ( 2013-2014) faded away because it's stayed excluse whereas Toukiden, god eater and gravity rush leave the vita for ps3/ps4 and stayed relevant for years ( well rip gravity rush now)

[@MKPwrz]

I'm the 2% of the 10% of the 5%.....🤔 yep. Inafune basically wanted to make this game for the Vita specifically. I remember following this game religiously

[@justsomejojo]

Never played Soul Sacrifice and looking at prices, I'd have to sacrifice an arm and a leg to get both a Vita and Soul Sacrifice over here. Which is a shame. You guys sound as passionate as me when I talk about Gotcha Force.

[@gaijinhunter]

If it's any reference, I can take down 15-star Cinderella in 4m45s with a 50:50 grim build, or 4m25s with a 99:1 sanctuary build (with a messily 100 attack). One thing that can help you in early to mid game is purely focus on specalizing in a specific weapon (like spear for sanctuary) and just focus on getting the higher level versions of the sigils and you should be good. Once you get access to Behemoth (the tree), farm it. It's spell is the best in the game imo, since you get +200 attack for half the hunt, then you can do it again ^^
