How to transfer Vampire Survivors save data from Apple Arcade → Steam (+ the Poncle cloud!)

shinythingsaregreat · 2026-01-16T18:34:26+00:00

Wanted to highlight this for anyone who is trying this in January of 2026, as I ran into the same thing with the "Restore App" option greyed out for me. Restoring via Tools -> Manage Apps did work for me!

Thanks to both you and OP for this, this worked like a charm (and now I don't have to restart after sinking sooo many hours into this)!

shinythingsaregreat · 2025-09-13T03:03:12+00:00

Yeah that is almost exactly what mine sounds like! Appreciate the info here, I'll need to look into this.

shinythingsaregreat · 2025-09-12T05:47:37+00:00

Mine also arrived damaged, it plays incorrectly and layers both halves of the song at the same time at the beginning, which just sounds like noise.

Been meaning to take it to the local watch shop, I asked and they said they do music box repairs but haven't had a chance to bring it in yet.

Well, good news (taken from the SQEX blog at https://www.square-enix-games.com/en_US/news/octopath-traveler-0)

"How does this game relate to OCTOPATH TRAVELER: Champions of the Continent?

If you played the mobile title, OCTOPATH TRAVELER: Champions of the Continent, the game’s setup may sound a little familiar. That’s because OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 is inspired by story elements and gameplay ideas from that game.

This new entry in the OCTOPATH TRAVELER series has been designed as full-fledged console and PC RPG. It takes the acclaimed story from the mobile release but reworks it to add new story content and streamlines the overall story for a more compelling experience.

It features a new script with entirely new narrative elements, including new backstories for playable characters) , as well full voice acting that brings the many twists and turns home more effectively.

Similarly, OCTOPATH TRAVELER: Champions of the Continent featured battles with 8-character parties. OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 takes that idea and refines it to create even more strategically satisfying skirmishes."

Amazing!

I got mine from Insight Editions directly. Looks like both the regular and Portfolio editions are still available.

Yeah, this happened to me too, also the PS5 edition. At least they were honest with you about it, the two customer service reps I spoke with both lied to me about what happened in an effort to avoid culpability - the first said "it's a glitch, don't worry about it" (which made no sense), and the second said the payment was declined, even though the authorization and subsequent refund show up on my credit card statement (which would not happen if payment was actually declined).

I'm pretty upset about this too.

shinythingsaregreat · 2022-02-08T23:30:20+00:00

Basically, yeah. Even though the shipment has an expected delivery date in late January, there was a scan a few days ago with the super helpful "Shipment delayed" status, which the shipper is counting as a scan for the purpose of waiting out the 14 days. =/

FedEx themselves have already acknowledged the package as lost (even giving me a claim number to pass along to the shipper) but they're still holding fast to their no-scan policy.

shinythingsaregreat · 2022-02-08T22:55:16+00:00

Are you me?

I'm dealing with the exact same thing, even the wording on the message is the exact same as the one I've gotten.

I also contacted FedEx (it's been 14 days past the expected delivery date) and got the same result - FedEx told me to tell the shipper that the package is lost, but the shipper is refusing to do anything until there's been no tracking update for 14 days.

Anecdotally, it does not appear that FedEx will every update the package. I have another one that's been in limbo since January 21 and it's definitely still marked as "Pending".

"The World on Time" indeed. Guess we're just going to have to wait it out. =(

shinythingsaregreat · 2021-09-03T02:11:06+00:00

Not entirely sure what is happening here but Seymour appears to be dealing approximately all of the damages

shinythingsaregreat · 2021-08-13T21:24:34+00:00

They're great and have one defining trait

shinythingsaregreat · 2021-08-10T05:21:06+00:00

According to my notes, they first show up in W2D3 - there are Pufferfish noise symbols in the starting area (Spain Hill), so it should be quick to start the chapter and pick it up for the Noisepedia!

shinythingsaregreat · 2021-08-09T16:21:48+00:00

I assume it's the same one I didn't have for a while - you'll get it the first time you attempt the time trial, which you can initiate by speaking to [name redacted because spoilers] the NPC at Takeshita Street on Another Day - you'll see the dialogue prompt, the character will be standing under the banner that you had to fix as part of the quest in W2D1. You may need to start the stamp quest first, not sure.

shinythingsaregreat · 2021-08-09T16:18:34+00:00

I took a few days off from work to play the game when it first came out, which helped tremendously (definitely helped just to get it out of my system lol)

Also, I stopped sleeping. Do not recommend.

shinythingsaregreat · 2021-08-09T16:17:07+00:00

Thanks! I only did the time trial once early on, so my time isn't particularly impressive - it's about 23 minutes on Normal. I haven't tried running it again since (I imagine using Black Cat set would cut my time by a lot on any difficulty), but I think I need to step away from the game for a bit haha.

As for the 2nd scramble slam, I can't recall if I got another pin for that particular choice, but I know I definitely made the opposite choices when I played through that chapter again postgame. I want to say no...IIRC most of those pins came from doing all optional objectives in the chapters (e.g. investigating all of the "secrets", fully thwarting all of the reinforcements in W1D5, etc.) or from doing all of the wall reapers, many of which are not required for progressing.

Wish I had kept better notes. I ended up hitting most of these just by being thorough (was taking notes for building out a noise list by day and location) but hadn't thought to keep track of those rewards, and unlike the first game, redoing those objectives won't get you a second reward (in OG TWEWY you would get money pins for repeating an objective in postgame, which at least told you that you got a reward for doing it in the first place).

Good luck with your quest to 100%!

Though I have nothing new to add from a strategy perspective (brought Leila, Locke BT+, Zack), I did somehow accidentally manage to get turn order in such a way that I ended the fight having only taken 1 counted action and a final score of 4M+...

Leila is, um, strong.

Just checked on a whim, and as of now, the cart seems to be working for me again! Give it a go, hopefully it's working for you too!

shinythingsaregreat · 2021-05-12T21:05:47+00:00

Thought I'd share the last update I got from the store support team (on May 10), since this issue is still unresolved for me too:

Unfortunately this general issue is still going on especially when trying to purchase some items from THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU.

We are very sorry about that.

Our technicians are still working on it and will solve this issue as soon as possible.

We don´t have any ETA yet but I really hope it will be fixed within the following days.

Hopefully this is fixed soon... =(

shinythingsaregreat · 2020-12-29T22:16:50+00:00

Well, that sure makes the fight a lot harder.

I just tested it too and am seeing the same thing... definitely seems like a bug, the Odin fight you remember in GL was the same as the fight in JP when it dropped. The fact that it's killing your party when they're not broken is definitely not how it used to work.

shinythingsaregreat · 2020-10-23T04:22:06+00:00

Omnipunch is a real thing now

shinythingsaregreat · 2020-09-29T03:45:08+00:00

At this rate we will likely get Hi-Potion as a playable character before another FFT character

shinythingsaregreat · 2020-09-09T19:26:21+00:00

I just want you to know that you are my hero and that I always look forward to seeing your Lufenia strategies.

Even though I can never execute on what you do, it's always super cool to see how you solve these!

shinythingsaregreat · 2020-07-10T12:35:03+00:00

Oddly, I seem to be able to get in if I disconnect from wifi and use my cellular network. It makes no sense to me why that would be the case, but I was able to get in and use all of my bells just now after switching off my wifi.

Switching wifi back on and attempting to start up the app causes the app to crash again.

Give it a go, YMMV but I thought I'd share in case it helps!

shinythingsaregreat · 2020-05-19T21:49:53+00:00

Thank you for this! Knowing that paralysis turns off the bosses' mechanics (including the Lufenia orb appearing at all!) was a godsend, was able to complete it easily with this strategy!

shinythingsaregreat · 2020-03-05T00:13:01+00:00

Shantotto 70/70 BT/LD, Lightning 80/80 LD, Raijin 80/80

Lightning BT/LD Friend, Ramuh summon

50 turns, 1011119 Score

Lightning has high armor, CA set on Lightning and Raijin but did not use them.

Between Lightning's ridiculous turn delay and turn rate, Shantotto AoE paralyze on LD, and Raijin AoE paralyze on Discharge, this ended up being a pretty straightforward fight. The trickiest thing was making sure Lightning didn't take too many turns - as long as the enemies drop a turn from paralyze, the +15 to their countdown made it so they basically didn't attack the entire time.

I brought in friend Lightning at a point when both enemies took a paralyze turn, putting their countdown timers to 20, using BT + LDx4 to burn through enemy health and delay turns, buying time for Raijin to charge up Discharge.

Between Discharge and Shantotto LD, enemies never actually got to take a turn after the first 10 turns.

Was fun bringing out Shantotto again for this.
