My friends and I love Culdcept and have been waiting for ages for another one to be localized. There are like 5 or 6 of us with 3DSs ready to get together the day it comes out to play together, start out with the starter deck and build up our books over the course of the day.
But I'm curious if there's some forced tutorial before you can get into local multiplayer. To me it's less fun if we all show up, put the game in, and...spend a couple hours individually doing mandatory junk before the option opens up to let us play together.
I briefly looked up a Japanese playthrough of the game, but it's hard to tell because obviously they're playing story mode and not trying to get to multiplayer ASAP. It did look like there was a forced tutorial, though.
I'm curious if you can start the game, name your character, choose your book, and reset the system to be able to access the main menu denied to you on first bootup. Or if you just have to play...half an hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, not sure.
Anyone know?
