About Yggdra Union
Ruled by a royal family believed to be descended from the gods, Fantasinia is a prosperous and tranquil land — until the peace is shattered by the invading forces of the Empire of Bronquia. Led by the young Emperor Gulcasa, who seized power in a brutal coup d’etat, Bronquia’s Imperial Army cuts a bloody swath through the people of Fantasinia and the Royal Armies of King Ordene. Princess Yggdra Yuril Artwaltz, the sole survivor of the royal family, escapes with the kingdom’s only hope: the holy sword Gran Centurio. Fleeing to the southern tip of the continent, she encounters an unusual thief named Milanor, a young man destined to help liberate the people of her kingdom...

Key Features
• Break-the-mold strategy system – Turn-based strategy meets real-time action in this innovative battle mechanic! Build your strongest deck of cards to rain down special attacks, monitor the aggression meter to adjust the power of each hit, and create troop unions that will overwhelm the enemy’s numbers.
• Rebuilt for the PSP® system – Yggdra Union is brand new again on the PSP® system, boasting remastered audio and visuals, new playable characters, additional missions, difficulty options, widescreen support, and dual English and Japanese voiceover tracks.
• Unlock even greater rewards – There is more to Yggdra Union than can be revealed in a single game. With 3 different endings plus a hidden ending and secret characters, there’s tons of treasure for a true gamer to uncover.

Is this going to come packed with the game or am I going to have to hope my GS actually gives this to me?

Hopefully not the ladder. :P

Thanks! I'll be pre-ordering my copy soon. :D

[SickleCellAnemia]

Hopefully not the ladder. :P

I hate those ladders! Always having to climb up and down on them...ticks me off! :x

Anyway, definitely will preorder it.

[theGerf]

And they ship to Canada, which was a nice surprise.

[Magnolia]

Aw.. what a bummer. I love soundtracks. Too bad the GS near me is run by such a bunch of jerks.. I never buy anything from them. :\

[Sei]

I thought you had a deal with Amazon. Maybe it would be nice to give stuff like this to them too. Also, why not fix the preorder bonuses on Amazon.ca?

Gamestop exclusive = fail.

[jeffx]

And they ship to Canada, which was a nice surprise.

Except their rate is probably nothing short of rape. Haven't checked, but I only order online from Amazon.ca, which has the game for 35$ right now, free shipping if you add some 4$ filler item, then 10$ coupon makes it 30$ even.

ATLUS. DON'T FORGET YOUR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS.

[Chronis]

Why don't you Canadians just see if EB Games over there has the same preorder soundtrack? EB and GS are the same company, for those in in the know...

$15 shipping, ($40 for the game) which would still be better than importing the soundtrack afterward if that were my only option.

Why don't you Canadians just see if EB Games over there has the same preorder soundtrack? EB and GS are the same company, for those in in the know...

EBGames.ca doesn't ship anything online, or do anything at all, really, so it'd probably be the same as ordering from EBGames.com.

[Chronis]

I meant the actual EB stores...

[Sei]

Actual EB games stores here don't have ANY bonuses EVER. I don't know if they get lost on the way or what.

Whenever there is a nice one I have to get stuff from the EB online store.

And now they use UPS which is terrible.

I'm doing my games shopping via Amazon now, it's nice, but the Canada site doesn't have preorder stuff (what a surprise)

[theGerf]

Yeah, I'm 2 for 2 with nonexistent preorder bonuses from EB up here.

[jeffx]

Sorry to C C COMBO BREAK but EB had the R-Type bonus.

[Hayato]

I meant the actual EB stores...

I've asked at a physical store before whether they receive preorder bonuses or not, and the response was, "No, probably not. If it comes, it comes (and we can give you a call if it does come!), but generally, no. Though we get a lot of ####ty 360 game demo disks that usually end up getting thrown away."

[Chronis]

So does that mean Gamestop has done extensive research that Canadians like crappy 360s games, but not the demos?

[shimo]

Hey AtlusAram or to whom at Atlus. On the Official Yggdra Union PSP website that is http://www.atlus.com/yggdraunionpsp on the Tactics Card section the Flame Card Ace Type should be Staff not Sword. The Ace Type should be changed.

[Lilly]

Ohh, I was just wondering if Atlus had considered releasing the Yggdra soundtrack~

I'm glad my EB gives me my preorder bonus items. Though I know its because we know the store manager really well and would totally call him. I also know where the preorder bonus items are kept if they aren't up front. X3 Last time I had to nearly go in back and check myself to get my harvest moon cat plushie. They kept saying they'd had none and then after my instructions found 5. Sigh. >__>; Soo if your EB/GS says they don't have any on release day (or the day they recived the games) then they probably just decided to keep them for themselves. :/

Anyway. Yay. :3! I like pre-order bonus items and soundtracks. So this is good.

preorder by September 15th to guarantee a copy
So, hey, where's my soundtrack? I preordered on the 13th.

[The Legendary Hero]

And I'm not kidding. I'm pretty sure this could be considered false advertising.

[Inzaghi]

And I'm not kidding. I'm pretty sure this could be considered false advertising.

If you preordered before the cutoff date and didn't get a soundtrack, you should take it up with GameStop, as order fulfillment is their department.
