I can't find sources on it...

Jesus fuck, the guy should've gone straight to NIS, that's got to qualify as actively sabotaging the game.

Oh, you mean you have the jap version, i see, my mistake, i tought you were talking about trying out the PS2 version first.

It can't break your PS3.
But it will crash it.
Technically speaking crashing a PS3 over and over can lead to damage, maybe, in theory, but i haven't read any reports of anyone straight up getting their PS3 bricked because of this game.

That's cool to hear. I like the look of the game but I don't want anything to do with NISA.
Are you talking about Odin sphere here or wathk?

The Asian versions of WatHK for PS4 are dual-language, so there's no need to learn moon when importing.

Ah, fair enough. Nah, I have a high opinion of Vanillaware, so I went ahead and preordered it, but my backlog has been too overwhelming to get around to it yet.

mine's started crashing in other games and apps since it started in 100 knight
at the very least it's leaving something corrupted on the hard drive

The Witch and the Hundred Knight didn't kill PS3s but it did crash a lot if you played it for too long.

Disgaea D2 is the one that fried PS3s

Odin sphere Leifthrasir, yes, the NA version is handled by Atlus so it should be safe.

For The Witch and the Hundred Knight the PS4 version should be fine, but you're still giving money to NISA, and they caused the problem in the first place, so i don't recommend it.

Well now that i know this, then the smartest thing to do is simply to import the JP version.

I see, make sure to do a system restore then, this is the first time i heard of the game affecting the system in general outside the game itself.

How did that happen?

How does it fry PS3s? It doesn't look that visually intensive compared to other games on the platform, or even other games that came out late in its lifespan
