I imported this and it's one of the best rpg's I've played. It's hard but very fair. Good thing they managed to make a localized version because From Software should make more games like this.

Already have the special edition pre-ordered and it only costs $10 more.
Can't freaking wait. Been dying to play this for months.

@Freaksaus: The few things I've read and seen about this game make it seem ridiculously punitive. Did you find that the level of difficultly eased up as your character gained levels and you became comfortable with the game, or do you just die your way through from beginning to end?

@AndrooD2: The games not hard you just have to take your time, there are only a few moves per weapon but you have to use them right, like not using a sword in a corridor or you'll just hit the sides, so instead a spear or some such. Just things like that, timing and baiting are key aswell, most bosses are pretty easy once you get into a pattern, with each you just focus on staying alive first then once you've got them figured out just go at it.
 
P.s. I never liked that trailer very much.

 @AndrooD2:  Getting used to the fighting does make the game somewhat easier, my second playthrough was so different from my first tries. You still die sometimes, but that would be more you getting overconfident then the game being too hard. As long as you don't try to rush through, the game is very doable.  The weird thing is, even after dieing lots of times I never got frustrated with the game, and this seems to be the consensus for this game.

" When a game touts its ability to "Replay Deaths" I know its not the game for me.  I've come to the conclusion that punishing games like Mirror's Edge and Mega Man are Not Fun, para me.  Dying over and over and over with little progress is just Not Fun. "
What are you talking about? The Replay Death thing is to help you out. It shows where and how someone died on the map to give you and hints on what is coming up.

I like how this trailer is a bit of a throwback to 80's commercials going "ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH?!"

Apparently there's no swearing or sex in this game, so I'm not 100% on it...

Man, I can't wait to play this. It looks like what a 3-D castlevnia game should actually be like. So glad I'm not gonna have to import this one.

Looks cool.  Personally, I'm not too sure about the part where it's too hard.  Those types of games usually frustrate me, and that takes from the overall enjoyment.  However, I love Persona and want Atlus to succeed, so I'll most likely try it at least.  Gamefly FTW.

When it says Atlus at the start, that's usually a bad sign.

Wow, it's been a while since I've heard X-Ray Dog's music in a trailer. Well done as far as matching the music, but it hardly shows off the game. I've been checking the progress of the game since hearing about it from KoeiWarriors, and they provided better info about what the game's actually about than this.
 
If its difficulty wasn't an advertised feature, though, I think I'd be more interested.

Uh, what? Atlus USA is easily one the best English localizer's out there.  Or are you one of those people who think everything released by Atlus USA is also developed by Atlus? Because that's just so completely wrong. Even this game was actually developed by FromSoftware.  Atlus USA just handles localizations, and they do a great job of that.

Everything that I've heard about this seems to indicate that it's brutally hard. It looks good but not sure I'm going to subject myself to the frustration.
