Still took me 50 hours going through on a second run skipping all the stuff I didn't care about. I'd forgotten just how sudden the end of the game is but I didn't mind it that much given there is a big 'victory lap' section before that and it sets up a load of stuff in connection to the Crossbell games.
Managed the platinum - nearly messed it up, which shows how much of a pain it can be. I'm just glad I managed to get the 'all chests' trophy first fun through on PS3/Vita as not getting it this time would have been insanely stressful. I ended up missing a lot of the creature comforts from Sen 3 like the quick skip button and the vastly superior battle interface; even 50 hours in I still found myself pressing Triangle to bring up the crafts menu.
I'm really looking forward to Cold Steel 2 on the 26th. Once I've done that I'll probably go through 3 again - my opinion on how that game ended will no doubt soften with the fourth game so close.
About the PS4 version - the port was done by Artdink and appears to be completely independent of the PC one. the Turbo Mode isn't as good as the PC one which skips all battle animations at high speed, they didn't give us any extra options like FOV, and the save interface isn't the improved one. Still, the massively improved load times and general faster pacing inside both cutscenes and battles with Turbo make it a much better game as it takes a lot of the sting (dullness?) out of some pretty languid scene direction.
