Would you buy it if the PSP version was PSN only?distantmantra said:Yes, please. I have no plans to buy a Vita anytime soon.

No better time. And it would further make Namco Bandai's decision to release Tales of the Abyss in Feb. even better!ULTROS! said:It will be interesting if they released this game at launch for the Vita.
Well, two things. Printing, packaging, and distribution can actually be a fairly significant expense, but more than that, shelf space and shop visibility for PSP games is dramatically decreased at this point.BocoDragon said:Everyone's saying "PSN version"....
but after you've already translated the game, isn't the money already spent? Doesn't it make sense to release a UMD copy at that point?
The expense isn't just the printing, packaging and shipping... it's the translation + voice work. And at that point, a UMD release may simply mean more sales + buzz.

The expense isn't just the printing, packaging and shipping - I imagine for megapublisher Square Enix that's not a huge expense... it's the translation + voice work that is the initial investment hurdle. And at that point, a UMD release may simply mean more sales + buzz.
I definitely don't think UMD is a healthy market.... but I think a Final Fantasy game on store shelves has a much bigger chance of any kind of buzz than a game buried in the PSN store.Father_Brain said:You used "UMD release," "sales," and "buzz" in the same sentence. Does not compute.
SpaceBridge said:Couldnt Sony help with getting FF Type 0 out there. By either covering costs of advertisement or helping costs of localization?
chandoog said:Isn't Level 5 doing something similar with a former 3DS exclusive game that's now coming to both the Vita AND PSP ?
I hope if Square is bringing this, they do that for both PSP and an enhanced version for Vita too. Though for some reason if there were a Vita game and it would be releasing near launch window, Famitsu would have blown it by now ...

That would make too much sense. SCEA and SCEE are hopeless.

SpaceBridge said:Doesnt Sony still own stock in SE? So isnt it mutually beneficial to see the game and vita do well?
Unknown Soldier said:I don't think there's anybody who actually thought Squenix would fail to localize a Final Fantasy title in this day and age.
Takao said:Sony's owns 8% of SE. Type-0 doing well would make them like $20, lol.
They regretted picking up WKC instead of Demon's Souls which I assumed they are avoiding it like a plague now.DiscoJer said:SCEE at least published the PSP version of WKC. SCEA couldn't be bothered to publish the PS3 version (which D3 picked up).

I think Squenix is in a position where they need all the money they can get, so they won't be always trying for million sellers (like Capcom)
Er... I was referring to the PSP version and not any hypothetical Vita port.Grimmy said:No better time? I'd disagree. That would be foolish of SE to launch the game with the VITA in the West. If SE is smart they'll wait until the Summer, so they can release the game in Japan at the same time and call it FF Type-0 International Edition.
Why not milk both sides of the Pacific? If they release Type-0 in the West just 4 months after their Japanese launch, all they'll do is sabotage their own domestic sales (especially since they'll have to announce it even before that!)
Hell, throw in Gideon Emory as well.Knux-Future said:Steve Blum is in everything...ever.
Get Nolan North, Bosch, and Lowenthall and we got our self a party.
Troy Baker probably will be in here too.
Laura Bailey as well..with the same voice they always make her use.
I'd be so surprised if they didn't do a PSN version, regardless of UMD release.AlphaDragoon said:Please God, don't let this be PSP only in America. Please.
Paznos said:God I hope so.... if XSEED and Aksys can be releasing PSP games I don't understand why SE wouldn't with a Final Fantasy title....
