Over $20 worth of DLC free for first two weeks.

Lost Dimension

Lost Dimension will launch for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in North America on July 28, Atlus announced. A European release is also planned for the summer.

The sci-fi tactical RPG, developed by Lancarse and published by FuRyu in Japan, will receive more than $20 worth of DLC free for the first two weeks after launch, including nine character costumes, 12 PlayStation Network avatars, a map set with additional story, and three additional quests.

Here’s the rundown:

Costumes

Nine costumes are planned, including:

  • A suit for Toya
  • A superheroine outfit for Mana
  • A cat outfit for Marco
  • More…

Avatars

The PlayStation Network avatars represent the 11 heroes and heroines of the game, as well as the game’s villain, The End.

Additional Quests

The three additional quests add an extra mission to each floor. They don’t provide much in the way of EXP or EN (Energy, which is used as money in-game), but if you successfully complete each with an S-Rank rating, you’ll be rewarded with a specialized item or individual character bonuses.

The following quests are planned:

  • The Emissary from the Netherworld: Moderately difficult
  • The Price of Blood: More difficult
  • Runaway Cause and Effect: Most difficult

Map Pack

The add-on map pack, “The Beginning of The End,” is a separate story that takes places in an entirely different location. It features a total of five missions, explores the creation of the game’s central pillar, and goes into the history of its 11 heroes and heroines.

Paid downloadable content will also be released. These consist of helper items—“consumable items that help raise experience, money and other beneficial stats by providing a passive boost before a battle”—that range from $0.49 to $0.99 in price, as well as status boosters, which can increase vision points or help restore SAN (sanity) stats in combat, that range from $0.49 to $2.99.

    That free DLC sounds like good stuff.

  • http://fav.me/d3k2f2f G3n3raL86

    Wow, i’ve forgotten about this one. Let’s see…:)

  • Daniel Rossevelt

    Hmm I remember seeing this, but I forgotten what is the gameplay like?

    • http://fav.me/d3k2f2f G3n3raL86

      Tactical RPG:)

  • DesmaX

    I can get behind PSN Avatars. I like the characters designs in this game

  • koksuckaahh

    i could use something like this on my vita.

  • RedSuisei

    Think I’d wait for reviews on this, it wasn’t received particularly well.

    • Tetsu

    WHat happens when Cause and Effect go wilfd? Nothing good, apparently.

  • Syltique

    It looks promising. The OST has some neat songs here and there. It’s slightly similar to Valkyria Chronicles. I enjoy sci-fi and like the art style.

    But is the game a steaming pile of crap? I would love to know before wasting money on it.

    • http://twitter.com/SrTirano MrTyrant

      Is like Valkyrie but less than that but not bad. It has interesting stuff like practically creating your story due to the betrayal system where depending on what you do, some character could betray or not each chapter. Also I would say that strategically the characters having powers + VC system + strong enemies = fun battles. It has a very unique approach in some battles, strategically speaking. Some problems come from the plot iselft, it has interesting characters but they lacks dept in storyline or interaction, main narrative is simple as it is how is presented and the game itself could be cleared in 20+ hours since it was made to at least a second playthrought.

      Those were my general impresions.

  • drtoszi

    Oh nice, thought it’d be earlier so this fits into my schedule.

    Definitely something I’m grabbing ^^

  • Mozendo

    Sweet, I’ll grab the DLCs and wait for a sale. Shame Nintendo doesn’t allow the same with the 3DS

  • James Reilly

    Forgot this was coming.

  • Vaporeon23

    Can’t wait to grab this.

    *orgasms after seeing release date*
    *notices the free dlc…..cums again*

    ……th…thank you…..

  • https://www.behance.net/cobaltcomet KOKAYI5

    Since as far back as I can remember I’ve wanted a game full of psychic characters who were telekinetic, pyrokinetic, clairvoyant and telepathic. This is a start.

  • TimRobbins

    I’m always tickled by how different the community is here (not in a bad way). Gematsu: Wow, free DLC, thanks Furyu! Anywhereelse: Piles of DLC announced before a game is even released? Pass

    • drtoszi

      I feel the internet in general seems to be full of vocal entitled kids. Really free stuff is pretty rare anywhere so getting this much is amazing and easy on the wallet.

  • new_tradition

    Yay, free avatars. I can finally change the ps+ one I’ve used for so long, haha. I love changing my avatars frequently, but not if I have to pay for them >.>

  • Dystopiq

    SciFi tactical JRPG/SRPG? Is it decent? Any one who’s played it care to weigh in? I like SciFi and tactical RPGs.

    • Guardian Byakko

      I played the demo from Japan psn and “decent” is one way to describe it (I liked it but the gameplay was so different compared to my normal jrpg games so I can’t elaborate to much). Some on gamefaqs linked it to Valkyrie Chronicles though gameplay wise if that helps.

    • Suriel Cruz

      Is kind of like… Let’s say Danganronpa meets ‘Shin Megami Tensei’ world in a Valkyria Chronicles style.

      • Dystopiq

        That sounds pretty badass.

        • Suriel Cruz

          It sounds, but don’t get your hopes up, you know… The game’s humble. ^ ^

  • Suriel Cruz

    Last week I download the DEMO from a Jap. acc. and I did like what I saw, tho it wasn’t all that “O_O”, it got my attention. To know this, is simply… Awesome! NOW, for me this game is a 1st day buy. ^ ^
    ps. A ‘FREE’ PS3 theme will be good too… I like to have my PS3 transform when a new game come out with avatar and all. xD

    • triggerx

      hmm i heard the gameplay is similar to valkyria chronicle.. is it true?

      • Suriel Cruz

        It is! ^ ^

        • Budgiecat

          The “Nightcrawler” type character is the best

      • DrForbidden

        Only superficially. In LD, you’re completely dependent on synced attacks as none of your units are generally capable of killing anything by themselves.

  • RedTakuya

    I hope it comes to EU.

  • Guardian Byakko

    The free dlc and early release date compared to what I thought is most pleasing to me. Atlus is definitely one of my favorite game companies.

  • Guardian Byakko

    George’s costume is kinda cool, but Himeno is my favorite among the cast and their dlc costumes.

  • kao

    I dont like the artstyle/designs but the srpg battle system looks fun it almost remind me of valkyria chronicles.

    • Budgiecat

      I like the art style and designs. Not feeling the DLC designs though.
      Its a nice break of pace from too much moe shitz these days

      • kao

        yeah, it’s a step up from the moeblobs and shonens.

        the temp free dlc is just an incentive to buy the game early. I never cared much for costumes in games anyway(and I’m usually anti-dlc) but I guess some people will like it..

  • OverlordZetta

    Is this the first time Atlus has done avatars before? Or have they done it with other, non-Atlus IPs?

  • https://www.behance.net/cobaltcomet KOKAYI5

    Agito? is that one of their names?

    • Hikari Langley

      Correcto.

  • Jansen

    Yes!

    I actually this game will have an LE but this is even better, thank you!

  • OverlordZetta

    … Also I think someone confused “wrestler” for “superheroine.”

    What kind of weird ass Japanese superhero has a costume without a mask? Or one that shows off skin?

    I mean besides Ultraman ones but they’re naked aliens they don’t count.

    • Budgiecat

      Ultramen arent naked

      • OverlordZetta

        I was trying to make a funny, gosh!

        • Budgiecat

          well you failed! huehue

    • Super Build Panther

      Cutie Honey?

    • Hachiman

      Kamen Raider

  • http://www.santashi.com/ Santashi

    I’m getting this one as soon as it comes to Europe. I’ve been intrigued by the premise and liked the look of the gameplay style for some time now/

  • Lastlight

    One of the last localized physical vita games??
    *that I’m interested in*

    Of course I’m getting it!

    • Hachiman

      The only digital game i know is atelier

      • Lastlight

        J Stars
        Resident Evil Revelations 2
        Plus all the past releases like
        Soul Sacrifice Delta
        Sword Art Online

        More to come

        • Hachiman

          Are you sure lost song is digital?

          • Lastlight

            Hollow fragment sure as hell was
            Lost Song might have a limited edition physical copy but I really don’t think it will have regular physical copies

            • Hachiman

              Asia ver is physical tho

              • Lastlight

                Im…not..in…Asia

                • Tom van Aken

                  Vita…is…region-free…though

                  • Lastlight

                    …my point above….still…stands…

                    Unless you don’t understand English.

                    • Tom van Aken

                      You could just get the physical Asian version, I don’t see the issue.

                      And there are tons of physical vita games recently. Steins;Gate, Operation Abyss, the new Danganronpa spin-off etc.

                    • 「ＰＹＲＯＦＲＯＳＴ」

                      Lastlight has already made his point on why he wouldn’t want the Asian version. Let it go.

                    • Tom van Aken

                      Perhaps I missed it, but his only point seemed to be that he’s not in Asia…

  • Budgiecat

    This and Yakuza 5 = last PS3 games to really get

    • DrForbidden

      I’d advise you to get this used.

      • Budgiecat

        you could just get it for me too. That way I wouldnt have to buy it

        • DrForbidden

          I only have the Japanese version. You want that?

          • Budgiecat

            nah sell that and get me the localized one!

            • DrForbidden

              I’ll only get you the localized one if you buy the Japanese version from me.

              • Budgiecat

                dah hell kinda counterproductive move is dat??

                • DrForbidden

                  The best kind.

                  • https://www.behance.net/cobaltcomet KOKAYI5

                    LMFAO

      • new_tradition

        Was the over-all game poor? I liked the demo I played, but is there something really annoying?

        • DrForbidden

          I found the battles to be boring and not strategic at all. The only way to kill enemies in one turn is to have several characters in sync attacking one enemy. Otherwise, it’s pointless as no single unit of ours is capable of killing an enemy except in rare cases. When the enemy starts bringing in their tanks, the game starts getting disappointingly unnecessary. If you were hoping that LD is a replacement for VC, you should abandon that notion as LD doesn’t have much of a strategy backbone at all.

          I was also disappointed with the Vision mechanic for discovering the traitor, which I found had too many restrictions. Of course, this may be as designed but I found it immensely annoying and not fun at all.

          • new_tradition

            I see, fair enough. Like I said, I was fine with the gameplay, so I’m not too bothered by lacking strategy (plus I wanted to get it for Vita, so the easier I can finish missions in case I’m on the bus, the better~)

            But the Vision thing now confuses me-can you not get various endings depending on the ally character left?

            • DrForbidden

              I dunno. I didn’t finish the game…

  • JeremyTMH

    Still asleep I guess… I read that title as DLC Gate… -_-;;

  • Unknowingreaper

    Heard this game sucked. Which sucks cause it looked cool

    • http://twitter.com/SrTirano MrTyrant

      I can’t tell you it doesn’t suck but whatver you heard that from suck. Maybe they were looking for something even batter than VC and got dissapointed because is not a top-tier rpg but still is very recommend it.

    • kirkyeehee

      I prefer to create my own opinions on games instead of letting someone else tell me if a game is good or not. They may not have my taste in games after all. I’ve been playing this since yesterday (got an early copy) and I personally like the game.
