Just for generally beating the game? Level 45 will do since you can use most of the swords that you can unlock by that point. The game makes it really easy to power level in certain spots as well, so levels shouldn't really be an issue so much as the swords you use.

Yeah leveling is super easy, esp if you have zones where you can keep running back and forth too that have 100% encounter rates. Its why I raised levels so fast. Also just to basically pad my HP a bit.
Thanks for the answer will see about clearing this tonight then. Am trying to blast through some of the backlog as its just gotten stupid on my end lol
No, I think you're right just from playing Muramasa for a few hours. The game has very little variety. It's very repetitive with a lot of redudancy in the areas. You'll be spending a lot of time running through pretty backgrounds that look the same doing nothing but getting from point A to point b. Occasionally you'll run in to a pack of enemies (of which there seem to be very little variety).
Just from trailers, Dragon's Crown has far more variety just because of character selection and moveset alone.

I actually went to my local soba place in town thanks to this game and got me some tempura soba lol
dat subliminal marketing...
Thanks a lot, those are usually quite important for me in a game like this, don't play the genre too often and not fussed about story or characters - I think one of the two will be enough for me. Bit sad I won't get to see the rest of the artwork, for a while anyway.
Guess it probably won't come to EU and with what I've read on the previous page it looks like I may have to import DC as well. Hopefully not.
Just imported that waterfield case and it's seriously overboard for what I would buy pay if it wasn't imported. I guess I'm more lax since it's experienced and has been many places safely.
There's plenty of areas that have a 100% enemy encounter rate, if not substantially higher than the normal rate. Or you could practice inside an evil cave!
To get Ending B, you need to have those two swords equipped on you when you go fight the final boss.

Received my game from newegg today, came with a worthless cd too. Hate those preorder ost, would have preferred a mini art book or a cheaper price. Who the fuck uses CD's anyway.
Played through shy-japanese-girl story until the third boss on Chaos. Fun but very repetitive and with too much padding. I hate the crafting, reminds me of the awful harvesting of odin sphere.
I hope DC is more focused on its gameplay.

I PREFER CD's--gives me actual ownership over the media. Same reason I buy all my Vita games in their physical form.
But, yeah, the pre-order CD that came with this game is junk. Why the hell is it only 5 tracks? Do they think that they'd be missing out on some potential sales of the whole OST if they were to include it as a pre-order bonus. Silliness.
Hmm? There's absolutely no need when you can literally go invincible for the entire boss when spamming Secret Arts like Gale. Stock up on spirit recovery items and mash away at the circle button! I said it before that the strongest swords aren't the ones with the highest attack power (not counting Oboro Muramasa, anyway).

This game is gorgeous! Finally got around to trying it tonight and wow is it pretty. It flew under my radar on Wii but I'm glad it's on Vita for me to give it a play through.

YES! Gamestop had a copy!
Just grabbed it off the shelf. Starting it up on my Vita.
I'm pretty excited for Dragon's Crown.

Its a lot cheaper to print CDs than it is actual printed materials even more so if its in color.
What crafting? You make food to regain HP or have in your inventory. Wouldnt exactly call that crafting. Its not like you even need to use the system as you can buy most of the general items from the vendor anyways. Gotta love it when folks whine about something thats optional.

For some reason I suck so much more when playing as Kisuke instead of Momohime, despite the fact that they control the same.
I don't know, I am baffled myself.

Maybe it's because he uses a long sword primarily, which is slower but stronger.
I got level 99 and 16 ryo with Momohime (still can't break white barrier yet though).
Trying to obtain all the trophies in this game, found a YT channel that shows how to obtain some difficult/tricky ones.

Just got this yesterday and played maybe three hours. So far my impressions are really positive, they did a great job getting this game on the Vita. I like it more than the Wii version, for sure. At first my only complaint was I couldn't use the d-pad to control it, but then I found the control options. The game also looks great on the Vita's screen. Kinda makes me wanna get Dragons Crown on the Vita instead of the PS3.

Btw forgot to ask is the US version Eng voices or JP w/ subtitles?
JP w/subs.

fantastic, hmm even harder to resist picking up a US copy. Only main issue now is how sony went and made the vita single region. due to the account BS. Its how I actually lost some save data when switching back to the JP one during a format.
really wish sony would patch in something removing that crap when the ps4 comes out hell even before that would be appreciated.

For those who have completed the game, what is the length for one of the campaigns (not both of them)?
9-10 hours for the first ending. To get the alternate endings you need to have played the other campaign as well.
Took me 9 hours for one. Normal difficulty. I did go through a couple of areas more than once instead of moving to the objective marker.
So maybe take an hour or so off that.

Sweet! The game isn't as long as I thought it would be, which is ultimately a good thing. I'm not that big a fan of overtly padded games.
Hmm? You can use games from multiple regions without switching accounts (unless you're talking about digital downloads).

I feel like I'm more poor with Kisuke, having a hard time buying accessories and stuff.
Even though I'm fighting every battle I encounter + Evil Caves...

yeah digital dl D:
otherwise trying to reverse import it here is going to be a little bit too expensive for a game i already have.
Been enjoying this game a lot so far. I love the setting, the music and the massive combos make you feel bad ass. Also glad there was key remapping because the evade binding was a little strange (rebound it to R trigger). Not the biggest fan of both jump and attack interacting with people/doors, why couldn't it just have been attack? That's not a big complaint though.
I've been going through with Momohime and not paying attention to the other guy. Is it more beneficial to go through with one at a time or go through with both of them at the same time?

As soon as you get to Hida just grind there for a bit to build up cash and souls, that's what i did on my Kisuke playthrough it did seem to be a bit harder to build up resources with with him in the beginning of the game versus Momohime.
Sooooo for those people who had their Amazon order crushed and asked for a new one, did you just say it got crushed? Do you have to return the crushed version? (meaning I have to pay for shipping back)
Man, I already beat the game too on digital LOL!
Edit: Welp, it looks like Amazon's system is telling me that I have to return it.
Edit2: Fucking cancelled everything else I had with Amazon. Screw them!

My guess is that they hired a bunch of shitbirds as the fulfilment company. Which is why they stopped and pulled the product for a while. Returning all defective products is to build the case against them.
If you think about your amazon experience in general and how many times shit has arrive in one piece and generally on time, Id say you sound more like you are having a case of the "kneejerks" lol
Make your case back to amazon explain the situation / having to pay shipping etc and am sure you will be credited back.
It was my first order, and I have alternatives.
I'd rather order from the devil (local EBGames/Gamestop) than to deal with another two week shipping and a crushed product.
And I don't want to pay for shipping to get invisible money only usable in their story. That's garbage.
