Suikoden 2 as well
But the only "other things" from 3PP were Borderlands and western indie games?
Revelations 2 itself is a game that appeals much more to western markets, particularly as an episodic digital game. It's not like they're doing DQ Heroes, Tales of Zestiria, Yakuza Zero or something that might actually move the needle in Japan. Or an actual AAA Japanese game like MGSV.

If we ask that they will localize it in the west as an ps4 game
Don't have a Vita so I don't know when or if I'd get this, but it's nice to see the series still kinda has a presence outside of mobile/browser games. Had a feeling the announcement wasn't going to be a console game though.
I like that it seems to be a throwback to 90s-era SaGa games.

For a studio that is only a year old they still have a lot up their sleeve. They are not going to stop the studio after yakuza 5
Yes, they paid for a SaGa game. Next up, moneyhatting a Platinum game.

Hahahaha, I'll never understand why Square-Enix keeps on giving SaGa a go, yet keeps more popular IPs dead.
I love SaGa, but it really baffles me.

They might stop bothering with non-indie Vita ports after RER2 though.
You really think that they moneyhatted a SaGa game? You seem irrationally upset.
Why not?
I don't have the slightest interest in this game so I don't know why I would be upset.

I guess it all relies on sales for rer2 on vita.

The PC version fixed many of these issues. It turned it into a much more polished game.

Cool. Hopefully this means we'll get it in English in 2019 for Playstation 5. For $69.99.

Type-0 HD console only makes sense. The PS4 is wildly popular worldwide and has an actual future. While the Vita is dead everywhere but Japan (and even in Japan it's still not very popular), so a smaller IP with a smaller budget is a smaller risk.
I meant why couldn't they have paid for a SaGa game.
What more popular IPs?

Damn, artwork looks tight. Too bad the game's going to look NOTHING like that. I'd kill for a SaGa game that tried to replicate that artwork's general "look", in 3D(similar to a FF that did the same with Amano's designs).
Though nice that Kenji Ito's back. I always felt he and Uematsu were two different sides of the same coin.

Chrono (although it has been so long since the last new release, it's hard to gauge its popularity) and Star Ocean are the main ones that have worldwide appeal, yet appear to be dead as fuck.
Then you've got a bunch of IPs that sell about as well as SaGa (if not more), yet haven't had a full release in about 1 trillion years.
For the same reason. Why would they pay for a SaGa game? The last game came out more than 10 years ago and it was already niche as fuck.
Well, you're comparing a new game to a full-priced 2011 handheld port. I'd say the risk is equally small.

But it's not a port.
It sold 400.000 units in Japan. I wouldn't call that "niche as fuck".
Well, no. They removed the multiplayer.
I meant WW, I find hard to believe Sony would invest in a game exclusively for its popularity in Japan.
Wow, I guess it is. Minstrel Song released early 2005 or late 2014 in Japan.

The platform is the real surprise here. Hope to see more info soon.
That's precisely why I don't understand why would Square Enix release this on an (almost) dead platform unless Sony paid when they wouldn't even bring Type-0 to it. I'm confused, that's all.
To talk about this announcement, same as you.

I think the last SaGa (non mobile one anyways) game was the Romancing SaGa 3 remake for DS, which tanked in Japan. And that was for the goddamn DS.
Yes, let's get started asap!
Romancing SaGa 3 wasn't remade that I'm aware of. SaGa 3 aka FF Legend 3 maybe.

But you have no interest in this game. So what is there to talk about

I'll keep my eye on this and see how it turns out.

Why do you want to talk about an announcement for a game you "dont have the slightest interest in"? Lol

It's not dead in Japan and FFX-X2 HD sold well in the West IIRC.
I don't think the Vita is dead in Japan, they're still making games for it. Japan loves SaGa.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Vita? Color me surprised.
Please come west. I know SaGa hasn't been localized in a long time, but Vita owners are starved. We'll jump on this, SE, we promise!

It's far from being dead and not every game needs to be on the same platform.

Hell no.
The Vita is barely swimming above water in Japan, and it has completely drowned everywhere else.

It's possible there's Sony behind it, because they know worst case scenario, they can soften the blow with a port later on. I mean, you can sell a PSP game for 100$, at this point everything is fair game.
