This looks neat.
Another Vita game I'll probably buy but never actually find time to play.

Yes, it reminded them for about 0.3 seconds. Then they went back to mobile.

If two ports that took them forever to release is proof of how SE remembers Vita exists then ok...
Maybe you read what I wrote. I said it reminded them of the Vita because of the sales success it had in Japan.

Wow, year of the Vita. Never heard of this game, but it looks decent. I'll probably give it a shot.

This might be the first game I buy for its box art. Has anyone here printed out box art before?

Considering that it was never localized I doubt it. Even more so when it would have to compete with the 2nd version that is just a massive improvement over the original visually. People are just going to have to bite the bullet and import it from the JPSN if they really want it.

making babies with all them gods and fellow cursed people lol
Ah well I was saying that because there was some interest from Gaijinworks but costs were too high at the time from what I understand. Now I'm guessing this hasn't changed because of the state of the PSP market and all that but maybe it still has a change if this game is a success? I don't know but it just looks so good.

Hah thank you, must have gleaned over it looking for a more concise title.
How would a monolingual-ite like me go about playing those?

Pray your memory is good enough to remember all the chinese characters, lol.
I wish I had the time because Oreshika 1 is one of the games I'd love to fan translate. It's a really amazing game, easily one of the best on the PS1/PSP. It'll appeal to folks that enjoy scenario games (or games focused on the atmosphere and setting), or are really into tweaking and creating fantastic characters ala Pokemon.
If it's like the PSP version, there's also a variable difficulty setting so that you can change the pace of how you play with ones that just make it easy to go through the story or a setting that makes it a long, tough adventure. You can easily change it mid-game too.
This is a confusing statement because it implies that there was ever a possibility where Sony focused more on Vita at E3 than PS4. That was never going to happen.
Game sounds awesome. Maybe the Localisation of the sequel will spawn a fan translation.
What? Holy shit, that sounds good. I love when devs include options like that. We need confirmation on this stuff for the sequel, stat.
I'll pick it up when my Japanese is sufficient to navigate through the menu lol
Seriously it'll be long before I can touch

And this is why I think we can be friends. lol. Game really is for those who love to "grow" characters so to speak. Its why I love stuff like Dragon Quest Monsters. Cept with this game its with humans lol. Not exactly but you get the picture.
Seems like this is all we have to go off of for the time being.

It was a pretty wild slider. If you found the hardest setting too punishing and draining on your resources, you could swap to the easier one for a time to gather a better base of resources to work from then go back. This was actually kind of important because the game is brutal at harder settings. Characters get injured and die so if one of your best chars kicked the bucket during a mission, you'd have to restart an entire lineage from scratch, lol.

I am really surprised they are not translating the name. I think "over my dead body" rolls off the tongue a lot better than "oreshika". Glad it's coming out though, will buy.
Yep, I agree.

Physical release pls.
Sounds similar to those "new age mechanics" everyone raves about in Bravely Default. Except the game came out in 1999, and the mechanics seem even better integrated to the system at large. I always wondered why there was never a game that used a woodblock painting art direction. The new 3D art looks just as good.
Except it's actually a really off translation. "Over My Dead Body" in English is used when you're saying you will stop something from happening. The title of this game is someone telling their offspring to walk over their dead body and continue in their footsteps. It's a totally different connotation and I can't think of an English phrase that really properly captures it in few enough words to be a title.

So who's localizing it? Lends a lot of credence to the theory that Victor Ireland's mysterious PSP title is the first Oreshika.
It is not. Vic said this today on Gaijinworks forum. "Now that this is finally public, I can praise the decision to bring it over. However, probably as a result of this, we weren't able to license the first one. Tried multiple times and failed."
Oreshika 2 was probably the game that he hinted some months ago here.
