I hope you’re ready for Soul Sacrifice — the demo will be available this afternoon on PSN!
Your first reaction to the demo might be, “Holy moly, this is a LOT of demo!” …And you’d be right! The entire first chapter of the full game is included, all of which is playable with up to three other friends via online or ad-hoc multiplayer. Inafune-san made it a special point for the demo to be quite substantial, as you can read in his comments below:
Soul Sacrifice is a long adventure, with dozens of hours of gameplay. The demo is not only a great way to sample the full experience, but also to let you get a head start on that adventure before the game releases. To that end — this part is important, pay attention! — the save data will carry over to the full game! Not only that, if you do carry over demo save data to the full game, you will receive an exclusive bonus item: “Spirits’ Heart”! It summons a powerful stone golem that will fight for you!
Trying the demo and carrying over your save data is the ONLY way to get “Spirits’ Heart,” so why not give it a shot if you’re already interested in the game?
The Soul Sacrifice demo offers a single player mode AND a multi-player mode. Multi-player can be played via both ad-hoc and online, but please be aware that multi-player and all online features for the demo will be terminated and will no longer be available on April 30th, 2013. After this date, you will still be able to play the demo offline and ad-hoc. Of course, that’s not a problem, since you’ll all be picking up the full game when it launches on April 30th, right? *wink*
Don’t forget to pre-order! Not only do you get three exclusive Magic Offerings and two exclusive costumes, but you’ll also get the Japanese voice-over audio pack for free!
Actually hasn’t xbl been hacked a few times in the last year? I thought one attack was somewhat recent but that could have been Bs.

Backing up my PSV now. Will reformat the card to login to the EU PSN and download from there!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
@5499 LOL Sony is making me not my usual self today….
been waiting for 2 days and no demo yet.
What if the game turns out to be just awful?
self entitled people should not be allowed to eat at buffets.
I have a conspiracy theory, maybe Nintendo is sabotaging the demo release in NA so they can continue to dominate the handheld gaming market in NA….
We (the gamers), want the Playstation Store updated by 12:00 this afternoon, Sony you have let us down 1 too many times in the past and we bought your Ps Vita out off the hope that you would support your system, which you have not to the tiniest degree, you have loaded the system with blockades and limits, and have only given us gimmicks, we want results, otherwise, if after 12:00 this afternoon if the Playstation Store is not updated and you do not give us answers, all the players will log off PSN, perminently.
These are our demands…
Update the Playstation Store
Give us answers to our questions, stop beating around the bush
Persuade devs to support the Ps Vita, if that means pay them to develope software for it, then so-be-it
Remove the stupid restrictions from the Ps Vita, you have to see this is stopping people from buying the system
Support your Gamers, you never have, and if you don’t this time, you WILL pay for it… “
@5510 I always go to buffets to chow down gellos. YUMMY!
Sony I demand a full refund for this demo. The entire $0!
look, just copy and paste this…

Been waiting for this demo, meanwhile Nintendo announces A Link to the Past 2 this morning. I might be trading my Vita for a 3ds guys :(
@Chromeo_El_Lobo
Don’t even think about that!
Wow, i got so bored waiting for the store to update that i read all 5517 comments on this topic
Maybe Sony will comment once the maintenance is finished. I mean they are busy and s***.
I also want answers but I trust they’ll do their job.
look, just copy and paste this…

Oh yea… Chromeo_El_Lobo …add me if you want. Or don’t want. Or do want. Or want a damned Soul Sacrifice Demo.
an EU user who already is playing the damn thing says the english voices are terrible and the opening voices are “cringe worthy” who will be using japanese voices here?
@5508 Well, gaming taste is subjective. I for one, have played the Japanese demo and I don’t understand **** but enjoyed the game.
Feel free to add me on PSN.
Unless you’re going to delete as soon as you add, then don’t do it lol.
I’ve planned on using the Japanese voices since I first saw the game.
English voices just doesn’t fit the ambience. At all.
I can’t even function right now.. All that’s in my mind is ss demo 4rs of gameplay .. Etc.
i like the thing that says dont be a jerk down on the right side
it says comments are the lifeblood of playstation blog
Add me please
add me.
#PrayForSony
This wait makes me feel like a Jill Sandwich!
@5525 in that regard, why is the audio pack not free anyways? They should have learned from NIS by now. It’s not like they made an extra effort for that one, the Japanese game was out first, so the audio was supposed to be done earlier.
I’m not sure if the audio pack will cost a thing, but given the fact that they’ve included it as a bonus for the pre-order I guess they’ll be charging $.99-4.99 for it.
Trading my vita to 3ds
@5528 Nice avatar! What game is that?
WHAT WOULD Jeff Rubenstein DO!

U KNOW WHAT……I MIGHT DO THAT TOO, I DIDNT EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT AND MY VITA IS PLUGGED UP TO MY PC RIGHT NOW….I MIGHT ACTUALLY DO THAT..
pray to who the gaming gods?
@5537 It’s this game called Soul Sacrifice.
You’ve probably never heard of it.
@5476 I AM! I LOVE SNEAKERS
Good thing I also have a 3DS to back me u whenever Vita waits like this get too long.
@5537 lol
You won’t be able to use your Save Data if you switch regions… I guess you’ll get the demo quicker but you wont be making progress..
