Support NeoGAF

[Takao]

I'm sure it doesn't involve the western market. Considering it's not getting a physical release, their expectations should be close to zero.

Still, I'll do the same I did with Tearaway and pick it up on day 1... if japanese impressions are favorable.

Who said it's not getting a physical release in the west?

 

[Ogawa-san]

Nevermind, I'm dumb, it's SS Delta that's digital only.

The last JRPG I remember coming out of SCE

Actually..

It was this beautiful beast

 

[Jawmuncher]

i would take a new Legend of Dragoon over Wild Arms I have to say.
Wild arms at least had sequels. LoD was just left alone and sitting on the PS1

As much as I enjoyed the first two Wild Arms games... I would have to agree. The battle system and the pre-rendered backgrounds were a perfect mix. I really wish we had a new one too. =(

Is this the game being discussed in the first post? If so, I'm so ready to throw down cash for this

It's gorgeous

 

[sublimit]

That's dumb

Agreed.

I'll be buying the game personally but not because Sony tries to blackmail me.If they don't want to support JRPGs then there's always the competition (3DS) to look for.

 

[ZettaiSeigi]

Not really. If you want more good games from a genre, buy good games from said genre. It's not that hard to follow.

There's a reason we didn't get more Sakura Wars games here.

The mention of Sakura Wars actually made me say "Wow, somebody actually knows about it!" then the remaining of the sentence reminded me how such people in the West are far and between.

It needs to have a presence before you can use this as the "test game" as some have previously said. This game has little to no media attention, is a sequel to game that was never localized and is gonna get that "Niche" game label pretty hard..

To be fair, the only Sakura Wars game ever to be localized had very little connection to the previous games. It's essentially a reboot for the series. The inclusion of Sakura and Oogami at the beginning was more of a fan service than anything else. I was hoping that NISA would've localized Atsuki Chishio Ni (the PS2 remake of the first game in the series) instead of STV. But then again, they probably thought STV would be a lot easier to sell given its setting and it being the most recent game.

On topic though, I'm looking forward to OreShika's localization. I really hope it does well to help the localization of more JRPGs.

Every sales data about every new title of every video game company influence their future development decisions.

This is just "please buy our game" statement.

The Wild Arms comment was added by ATXAlchemy. It's his opinion, and not what was written in the blog post. He originally had the Japanese text, and his translation in quote tags with the WA quip outside of it. Since you can't double quote, I just copy/pasted the translation, and the formatting made it look like it was part of the blog post. I've edited the OP to make note of that.

Oh, and I just noticed that I got the game's subtitle wrong ... I'll PM a mod about that.





Here's two previous threads on the game:

All Vita games are released on PSN.

Thanks for the links, appreciated. What a gorgeous aesthetic. Now I just have to pray we get dual audio...because I couldn't stomach such a beautiful game sodomising my ears with subpar dubs.

If Nintendo ensured Fire Emblem / Bravely Default had dual audio, surely Sony can for this.

yes that's the game.

Thanks

I don't need the promise of more in house RPGs in order to buy this game. It looks terrific

 

[zeroshiki]

This is not a hunting game, wtf.

Its a turn based RPG dungeon crawler with heavy emphasis on party management in between "raids."

 

[Usobuko]

I thought it looks good, accessible and has a distinguishable style of its own. Shouldn't be that hard promoting it.

 

[Brew124]

I'll certainly do my part and purchase it as soon as it's available.

 

[Curler]

Who said it's not getting a physical release in the west?

I was thinking the same thing, considering nothing official has been said yet.

But, but

-it's japanese
-it's on Vita
-Miku isn't in it

It's a hunting game.

I don't like blackmails but i'll do my part because i have already planned to buy it! XD

It's possible but I wouldn't count on it. We know Soul Sacrifice Delta is digital only in the west. But, Freedom Wars is physical. I guess it's kind of a toss up about this one.

 

[Wereroku]

American audiences are less likely to buy content upgrades like this just look at UMVC3 and DDark Arisen the numbers tanked on those. They just want to get it released to the people they know will play it.

Unless the reviews, or sales for the game are really poor in Japan, I can't see it being DD-only over here.

http://www.unigamesity.com/wp-content/uploads//2008/11/folklore-ps3-cover.jpg

I enjoyed both those games, and would love to see another mid or bigger budget JRPG from SCEJ or a developer affiliated with them. (on a home console)

 

[Jomjom]

This game is Sony 1st party??

It's developed by Alfa System, but funded/published/owned by Sony.

Wow. Awesome. I'd never even heard of this game. Looks ace.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

I'm buying it day one so I'll be doing my part.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Never heard of it.

Guess I'll have to do my research now.

So would I, Game Republic died (the developer that worked with SCEJ on this game) but I think SCEJ is more than competent enough to make another game as good as Folklore

Mmm, Folklore. I need to just buy this game. I borrowed it from a friend twice, but never got to finish it before returning it.

S-so there will be a physical release then? I was under the impression that it wouldn't because of SSelta.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Delta being DD only is likely because it's an expansion. Freedom Wars has apparently been confirmed to be a retail release.

Now they just need to make a Miku hunting game. Would totally buy day one.

 

[OldKingDoran]

I'm buying this day 1.

I just hope it gets a physical release in the west.

[joe2187]

Just downloaded the JPN Demo.

It looks fucking gorgeous!.

However It's very menu based and seeing as I cannot read anything, Im lost.

I think I just had a baby with Naruto or some shit.

 

[Sinople]

I completely forgot the demo was out. Downloading now.
I hope it's not the total rehash of the first game the screenshots make it looks like.

 

[KTallguy]

I wanna buy this...
