I guess it's good to get but... You think it didn't fit on the cartridge?

Likely it was needed so the game wouldn't go past the 4GB limit on PSN.
Anyways, these guys are amazing

Ah okay, makes sense! My LE just came in today, and I've got mixed feelings about it so far... First of all, I got a plastic bag, with in it one of those brown postal envelopes. So far so good. We open it, and the game comes falling out, next to the box... Not that it REALLY matters, but why isn't the game in the box? Is it that expensive to get the box to be a little bit bigger, with one of those cool fold-in cardboard things that you put the game in? I don't know, I always liked it. A bit weird to get the game and a completely separate LE box (although I get the pictures on twitter now...). Picture of the box and the game: Gotta say, the box is pretty darned cool and will definitely get a cool spot in our room somewhere. On to the contents! Picture of the box, opened, and the game with it just to show how it could've been if they put the game in the box... (sorry, getting a bit emotional here...). I didn't get a separate picture for the CD, but it seems to have 56 tracks, which feels like a complete soundtrack, rather than a small collection thereof. I'm a soundtrack kind of guy, so I really quite like that. Picture of the art book The art book deserves some words of it own. I know RD isn't know for nice A4-sized art books as NISA tends to make them, which is a shame, but it is what it is. Now, what IS just real bullshit, is how it's ALL IN JAPANESE. Now, at least they tend to use our trusted Arabian numerical system, so I know what page I'm on (but really, who cares?), but none of the info is actually legible... There's probably tons of fun little facts on the weapons, the characters and their designs beyond the typical measurements that I just can't read... I find this a real shame and the next time I pre-order an LE from RD I'll definitely ask beforehand whether the art book will be translated. Picture of the pouch (sorry, this one is quite large. I thought I resized them all, but it seems I didn't...) The pouch is a little pinkish, a little lot pinkish, not only because of the pouch's design, but also because the VD artwork they chose seems to have gotten a bit affected by the pink surroundings. Nonetheless, it looks cool, and it perfectly fits my phone (5in smartphone, iirc, a Wiko Jerry for the other three people with a French smartphone) so that's cool. Picture of the art cards (sorry, this one is also a tad large) The art cards are dope. The size is a bit bigger than what I'm used to from the xBlaze ones, that were about the size of the vita screen (probably because they were screenshots of it...), and the quality is pretty good as well. I did my best not to look too much at what I was going to get, because it's fun to be surprised, and it was a good one. Despite VD being well... let's say... a Takaki-made game, most of the cards I would display in my room without any problems (mind you, I'm displaying Sonico figures without problems as well...), except for maybe the one where one of the characters is getting her skirt lifted up by a creep... that's just a bit weird to have displayed in my bedroom. XD All in all... Mixed feelings. Weird choice for the LE box to be a box with just the extras, and even more an extreme shame for the art book to be left untranslated (and perhaps a deal-breaker had I known beforehand). Still, the pouch is cool, art cards are cool, soundtrack seems quite awesome as well, box is cool... Now I gotta hope the game will be cool as well!

...Gonna be honest, my only hang-up about skipping the English LE was that the artbook might've been translated. I already got the OST and artbook with my JP LE, so... I guess that's that.

The Liberator Edition is looking great "drool, drool, drool, drool, wipe, drool, drool..." Dang, that looks so good! Can't wait for it to come! Is it here YET?

Mirei and Mamori will be released on October 14th!!!! Good to see that! It seems PQube isn't releasing any info on dlc unless asked. There was also something about getting free dlc with a bon appetit save game? I got that, but unsure about how to get anything. So far I'm really enjoying VD. Feels like my first introduction to Senran Kagura (which was SV) again, but the fighting system is so dope! Trying to play around with the Phantom system is really cool and visually the game is so gorgeous. Considering getting a PSTV though, think it may be better on the big screen.

So glad you're enjoying the game! Hopefully is living up to all the hype I made for the game all these months.
Yeah, having a BA save unlocks 29 free accessories on Bhikkhuni, you shouldn't need to do anything to unlock it though.
So, what do you think about the characters and plot so far?

I think it might have been tough to live up to THAT much hype but nah it's very enjoyable.
The fighting system is like Senran Kagura+: though the similarities are undeniable, the phantom system adds an incredible amount of depth and the drives are well done with cool special attacks and weapon transformations.
As for the story and characters... I like the characters so far. I'm not too far yet, just unlocked Manpukumaru (a missed chance for a chubby character in-game imo), and it looks like there may be more to the characters than they initially show. I'm just hoping they'll actually fill in the outlines of depth I've encountered so far.
The story... Hmmm... Not seeing much besides the premise so far, as it has mostly been character interaction so far. Still waiting for something to really happen.
Also: Director needs to be playable in any possible sequel.
