    That 3 headed dog was so hard. But it was awesome how I got 4 random people together and finished the fight! It was awesome! near the end everyone kept saying sacrifice me but there was this one dude who kept saying don't give up and revived us !

    A while later the same dude died and said it's time now . So, we sacrificed him then another guy went down and he asked to be sacrificed too. Then it was on me and this other dude and I went down. He sacrificed me and the dog went down!

    That was the most fun I had in a long while in an online game!

    Any idea if Soul Sacrifice will have PvP?

    I almost wrote the game off after the horrendous opening, but as I saw more of what it offered I was actually pretty damn impressed. The various items available for offering and the large differences in combat that come with them seem pretty awesome.

    Does anyone know if there will be more character appearance customization options in the full game or further down the line? I'm really digging this game and I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.

    I played up to Jackolantern, game seems decent.

    I didn't really understand the limited use weapons so I ended up having to beat the boss with the bloodspray and that sucked.

    I actually don't really understand what is going on with the sacrificing/saving, I'm leveling up two meters that don't seem to have any effect on anything?

    I'm not too sure what the 2 meters represent either. Also, is there a quick way to tell how many uses of a spell you have left on the battlefield?

    I suppose I should give the demo another shot. That opening was really unpleasant, particularly given how I had no idea what was going on and the voice acting was...interesting...at best.

    What is magic usage?

    I only had 3 powers, one was the blood spray which seems like a default and uses up health.

    The other two powers were limited use and it looked like the only way to recharge the uses was between battles with the book's tears. I was collecting magic throughout the fight and my weapons still broke/would not come back.

    Usage as in how much you can use something.

    -well first push R to get access to the other three powers.

    -when you use magic several time, a message comes up and says "hey that power is about to break." Don't use it again or it will break, sacrifice something or find one of the spots that will refill your usage. Then you use several more times.

    @jz: This is kind of game specific, but I figured you might know. I'm way into the demo, beaten all of the content offered and am now just collecting offerings and SE/LE in preparation for the real thing. Any idea on how to obtain SE+/LE+ on boss monsters? Is it a random chance kind of thing, or is there something I can do to increase my chances of getting one? I assume there's also a ++ version of them too...

    As a follow up question, do you think this game is worth getting if one never plans on playing the multiplayer?

    I don't own a Vita but this game and Ragnarok Odyssey have me on the fence to get one, though both games seem to have a strong multiplayer focus from the information I've gathered so far.

    Well no game is worth paying over $320 on the low end to play.

    If already own vita SS is the best game on the system go buy it asap. If you don't own a vita, save that money and buy a ps4 in a few months.

    How does the save/sacrifice mechanic work online? Because I just beat some big harpy monster with a few other people and only one of us made the decision it seems. Does the whole party benefit from that?

    What is the best way to level up your character? So far I have only saved souls and not sacrificed should I do both or just stick with one route?

    Why did I start a mission with only one power available and everytime I used it it took off health from me. So basically I killed myself during that mission because I couldn't fight back without hurting myself.

    Nooooo. I'm sure I'm just missing something. You gotta re-up your powers before a mission or something?

    @amlabella: Only if you're close enough. If you're hella far away you won't get the Soul. I think. And it seems like whomever presses the button first is the one that decides for the group.

    @klaimore: It depends on how you want to spec/play your character. Saving/Sacrificing souls ties most significantly into the Sigil mechanic of passive buffs you equip in your right arm. Not only do you have to save or sacrifice specific souls to unlock sigils, different sigils will become more powerful when you have the right Arm type, which is determined by a balance of your Life and Magic levels.

    There is an eventual max level of 100 total between your Life and Magic. If the two numbers are balanced, your arm will remain Neutral. Having a higher Life level will give you a Divine arm, which increases in rank as the gap between Life and Magic becomes greater. The same is true for a Dark arm, which instead relies on having a higher Magic level. Basically, if you want to play a defensive character, Save, and if you want to play offensive, Sacrifice, but always check back with your sigils so you know when you might need to go off-spec to unlock a specific sigil.

    Also not that when the Save/Sacrifice UI pops up over a dead enemy, sometimes there will be a significant discrepancy between the numbers. For example, instead of +2 over Save and +2 over Sacrifice, you might see +2 over Save and +4/-2 over Sacrifice. This means that if you sacrifice this enemy instead of saving it, you will receive a rarer version of that creature's soul, so even if you're primarily playing Save, you might want to Sacrifice it anyways just in case you need the rarer soul later on.

    Also you can always lower your Life and Magic levels to adjust your spec at the cost of tears.

    @handlas: Blood magic drains your health on use and is infinite. Other magic has a limited number of charges that varies from spell to spell, denoted as "Casts" on the menu. As long as you don't use up all of your casts in a single stage, the spell will refill back to full afterwards. The game will warn you with a HUGE text message in the center of the screen when a spell is getting low, and the spell's icon will start to flash yellow, then eventually flash red when you only have one charge left. If you use a spell that is flashing red, it will then break and be unusable until you fix it by spending tears on the Select Offerings menu between missions.

    So be careful and don't burn up your spells. Also remember that there are various spots around each stage that will partially refill all of your equipped spells. Sacrificing enemies has the same effect.

    Why did soul sacrifice choose to remove facebook posting in their most recent patch? I can't find the answer and it is driving me nuts not knowing.
