Apparently this is real, and yes, you will need to be online all the time - and I don't recall reading from anywhere beforehand that you essentially need to "log in" to play what ought to have just been a downloadable game. Bloody online DRM I suspect. Fuck that then.
Then again, I've no plans to even get this re-release. The character booster thing is just laughable anyway considering like I said somewhere before, it just cheapens getting the "achievement" for something like bashing the Ruby Weapon.
About that thing of logging in, they said that the saves are Cloud based which means you have to be online to save and load it.
