Catherine: Full Body launches on Switch 7/7

Kind of...it's not really purely visual novel (character portraits and words) but there's actual animation during all the conversation. You get to spend time in the bar every day and drink, talk to people and learn their stories, and you'll see those people in the dreams (climbing) sections. Talking to people passes time, so some people will come to the bar and some will leave. Drinking more makes Vincent move faster in the climbing stages. You can go to the bathroom and see a preview of what boss you'll be facing that night. There's also the Rapunzel arcade game, which has no time limit like the regular stages, but otherwise uses pretty much the same mechanics and is based more on number of moves rather than speed.
The nighttime stages have you climbing a tower of blocks that are falling, and it's a puzzle. The later stages can get pretty brutal. The last stage of each night has some kind of boss chasing you with a gimmick, typically something like they'll hit the blocks and stun Vincent for a second, or they'll strike lightning on blocks that will instantly kill Vincent (you see tells of this like the blocks highlighting in red).
At the end of each stage (except the boss), you'll be on a landing and be able to talk to other sheep that are there, and get tips from them, as well as talk to sheep of people that you see in the bar. There's a shop where you can buy items too, such as being able to create a block, kill all enemies, things like that. Then you go into a confessional and have to answer a question, most of the time about morality and relationships. Things like "Does life begin or end with marriage?" or "would you let your lover look at your text messages?" or things like that. If you're playing online, you'll actually get shown a graph of how everyone else answered online after you answer the question. These questions are generally the biggest factor that determine your ending, and which girl you end up with.
Well it better be like the best game ever at that price.
Stiff competition even this year with Half-Life Alyx existing.
Didn't expect that tbh. I'm not going to double dip this time around as I bought the game on sale for PS4 months ago and still haven't touched it.
What's the consensus on Full Body? Good improvement over the original or a bloated experience? I played 3/4 of Catherine on PC when it was released on Steam and deeply loved it, but I can't bring myself to enjoy a game on PC :( I'll gladly double dip if Full Body is great.
Really happy, one of my favourite ps3 games, start with easy mode peeps, it's quite hard.
Catherine: Gamebryo
Persona 5: House made engine
It's not running on the same engine.

Also, all PS4 and Vita dlc is included with the base game, including stuff that was in the limited edition (Nero Glasses).
lol, it actually says "for nintendo switch" on the cover.
edit: this is the 3rd game on switch with joker dlc in it, after smash and tokyo mirage sessions
I'm glad this was the very first response because this is exactly what I was expecting. You didn't disappoint me :P
OP
OP
Catherine was on Gamebryo
Catherine Full Body is on the P5 engine
And lets not forget.... PLAY ON EASY MODE
Ugh, I'm mixed. The first game was fun and compelling, but the trans panic stuff they put into Full Body really turns me off, from what I've heard. Maybe I'll wait until it goes less expensive used...
The game's not even that hard once you get into the puzzle logic. Especially with the automatic rewind on death now.
Huh, they announced a Switch game at the Switch reveal event you know.
Was watching the direct and hoping SO HARD it be a "available now" drop :(
also the gameplay looked 30fps to me, which would be a bit disappointing but I did enjoy the og game on PS360 so there's that.
What price did CFB launch at on Vita/PS4?

the vita version wasn't localized
it was a full price ($60) release on ps4, tho it's currently on sale for 50% off. there's also $25 worth of DLC for that version which is apparently included for free on switch.
Say, what platform is this for?they need to get on capcom's level
Btw, 49.99 for Catherine:FB is pretty good imo.
I really love the first game, while acknowledging the negative content in it too. But from what I've seen, the redux looks to to be adding just for the sake of additional content. The original game had interesting themes, was tight and focused. I have a hard time seeing a third Catherine as a positive for the game, but more of just a mess.
I'm talking out of my ass since I haven't played it yet, I'll probably pick it up and see soon enough. Definitely sucked that the one trailer played into the trans panic as a gag as well (I know that's not the direction of the game itself).
Edit: After everything, I would still consider the original Catherine an all time favorite. So I'll have to give this a shot eventually.

I mean.
Why are we cursed to do this loop forever and ever.
[Major Spoilers] One of the endings in Catherine: Full Body gets extremely transphobic... moreso than that original (OP Updated Feb. 17)
Update: Catherine does not explicitly state anything about "making everyone's lives better", however that is heavily implied. She wanted to be with Vincent under different circumstances. She took him back in time and dated him in high school, and they go on to get married years later, in the...

Catherine Full Body English localisation changes little, is still incredibly transphobic
Making a new thread to split off from the review one, because this probably warrants both its own discussion and also to be highlighted as a big issue. So, for those new to the Catherine discourse, even more so than the original game, the Japanese version of Catherine Full Body was slammed by...

And??
Well, maybe i should say "more considering" instead?
Idk, who the fuck cares about proper english lol
C'mon, you guys get the point. Stop being an asshole
Catherine original : gamebryo
Catherine full body : p5 engine
Idk if this have been confirmed, but it's not gamebryo so most likely p5 engine
I'm glad the English version drop the "for nintendo switch" lol
it's basically the $80 deluxe version for PS4 that was ported, I wonder if this means we're about to see a price drop on the PS4 version
Not as good as the original imo. They butchered the difficulty curve of the standard difficulty. That iconic Love is Over screen? Good luck ever seeing it on anything other than the hard difficulty. If you die it automatically triggers undo your last move and you don't die. Bosses are no longer a threat, you no longer have to be careful. A lot of the excitement and tension of the experience is removed and it makes for a worse game.
As for the story additions, there's nothing added that needed to be added. It's fine that's all.
The game does give you new content for its puzzle stages in remix mode and I do like its. Changes the way you need to approach Catherine at a base level I quite like it. All new rapunzel stages too. The new content is pretty good. If they hadn't butchered the normal difficulty as I previously mentioned then the new gameplay content would make it the best package of Catherine.
Ah, that's a shame. Hard mode is still the same, though? Since I'm already familiar with the game, I might play this version on hard to begin with.
You mean that as "The story was already perfect, and the additions devalue the overall package it" or "The story was already perfect, and the addictions were harmless"? I honestly can't imagine the story of Catherine with a 3rd girl, tbh.
Can someone tell me if multiplayer (which has online right ?) Is only pvp or can it be coop... enough. Because with how hard some paths can be it remember being close to impossible to coop on high grounds after a while of climbing.
Seeing how well handled it is I'm clearly getting it despite having og game on 360 or was it ps3... whatever.

Of all the Atlus games that could have been announced for switch this was very close to the bottom.
Anyone knows the price on this? Wouldn't want to pay more than 30$ but I loved the original and haven't played it since X360.
49.99, it includes all the DLC of the PS4/Vita version.
Oh thanks. That's a bit too much, will make a perfect discount buy I guess.
