Shocked it's on Xbox.

Hint: Xbox One software sells quite well.

 

[antibolo]

Vita means undeath.

FTFY

 

[Kyoufu]

After playing the version 2.0 demo, I'm not touching this game. Ever.

 

[Nirolak]

To be clear, this is the platforms Deep Silver is publishing it on.

 

[SliceSabre]

Dat western PS Vita love! Looking forward to this!

 

[prudislav]

really weird to see them picking Xbox over steam release (pretty much unlike most of the japanese devs these days)

 

[AnthonypUK]

we might have our first 90% split, right here.

 

[prwxv3]

Hint: Xbox One software sells quite well.

Hahahaha. Depends on what the software actually is.

 

[Suburban Thug]

Love the art! This reminds me that I have to beat my copy of Valkyria Chronicles Remastered...

 

[LiK]

Deep Silver eh. SEGA won't even publish it themselves?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Vita means life

 

[SgtCobra]

we might have our first 90% split, right here.

Yep lol. PC version will come down the line, I'm sure.

Hint: Xbox One software sells quite well.

JRPG's too?

 

[Hellraider]

Hint: Xbox One software sells quite well.

Not for a game like this. Not that I complain, but an XB1 version of this particular game makes absolutely no sense.

 

[sense]

To be clear, this is the platforms Deep Silver is publishing it on.

Looks like Sega is doing the NA version if I am reading the op correctly

 

[YianGaruga]

Yep, they've been improving it. There's also a second, and a third(?) demo. They've been taking a lot of feedback, so hopefully it ends up being good.

I haven't paid very close attention, but I know Sega has completely revamped the combat system since that first demo. The development team seems to be paying as close attention to consumer feedback as the FF XV team did/is.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it. Completely ignored it after the first dmeo

 

[purseowner]

From the Gematsu article:

physically and digitally for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and digitally for PS Vita.

The physical dream is dead.

 

[Dark_castle]

Wow another awesome RPG moving away from Turn Based Combat? I am loving this.
First time played FF game in FFXV due to real time combat and l am in love with the game. More the merrier.

I don't like this guy.

 

[BY2K]

Deep Silver eh. SEGA won't even publish it themselves?

Sega is publishing it in America, Deep Silver in Europe.

 

[blahness]

Yay Vita lives!

 

[Castef]

Hahahaha. Depends on what the software actually is.

Just check at the sales. They sell quite well. Not at PS4 level? Right. Yet, why would they cut away something like 1/3 of sales?

 

[Ganado]

So that's the upcoming SEGA Vita physical.

Not physical for PS Vita.
Also, what is SEGA Europe doing, why does everything get published through Deep Silver?

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Holy crap, out of nowhere! Hopefully this one turns out well.

 

[Kyrios]

Aww sweet, making 2017 even more amazing.

 

[Nirolak]

Looks like Sega is doing the NA version if I am reading the op correctly

Actually you're correct.

 

[Rymuth]

BASED SEGA

Shouldn't that read 'Based Deep Silver'?

Unless I missed the sarcasm :/

Edit: I see it now, cheers

 

[prudislav]

Deep Silver eh. SEGA won't even publish it themselves?

i would say they will likely selfpublish it digitally on Steam later down the line

 

[LiK]

Sega is publishing it in America, Deep Silver in Europe.

Thanks

 

[YianGaruga]

Deep Silver eh. SEGA won't even publish it themselves?

Sega is done with physical/console in Europe.

Deep Silver is also doing Yakuza 6 and Yakuza Kiwami

They're now the dedicated publishing partner for everything Atlus/SEGA JP in Europe

 

[BY2K]

Shouldn't that read 'Based Deep Silver'?

Unless I missed the sarcasm :/

Well Sega AND Deep Silver.

Sega is publishing in America, Deep Silver in Europe.

 

[Hellraider]

Not physical for PS Vita.
Also, what is SEGA Europe doing, why does everything get published through Deep Silver?

Sega bought Atlus not to release their games in Europe, but to have their own games released in Europe by Atlus' partners. Everything makes sense now!

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Great news, I look forward to import impressions soon

 

[kswiston]

Just check at the sales. They sell quite well. Not at PS4 level? Right. Yet, why would they cut away something like 1/3 of sales?

Have you seen the splits for stuff like Final fantasy XV in countries that actually support the XB1?

 

[Montresor]

Yay Japanese game on Xbox!!!!

We did it guys!

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Also, what is SEGA Europe doing, why does everything get published through Deep Silver?

Football Manager and Total War.

 

[Nephtes]

I feel obligated to buy this game for the Xbox just so more companies bring these kinds of games into the Xbox ecosystem... Even if I have 0 intention of playing it...

 

[prwxv3]

Just check at the sales. They sell quite well. Not at PS4 level? Right. Yet, why would they cut away something like 1/3 of sales?

Take a look at type zero sales again. FFX sold more on vita then on Xbox one in the US.

And FF15 splits in places where Xbone is doing well.

 

[Wagram]

Did they ever improve the demos? I heard the reception was incredibly mixed.

 

[AnthonypUK]

Just check at the sales. They sell quite well. Not at PS4 level? Right. Yet, why would they cut away something like 1/3 of sales?

1/3? go check out Final fantasy type zero, and final fantasy 15, take your 1/3 of sales and half it, take off 4 and your about there, and this doesn't have the final fantasy name to sell it to the XBO audience.

Physical as well? so they're getting that minimum XBO run? bomba price drop incoming.

 

[Linkark07]

Surprised they are releasing this on the Vita. Well, Vita means life.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

Did we know this was planned for Vita as well, as far as I recall only the Ps4 was mentioned.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Nice. There should be a Steam release, then.

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Had a shock when I saw that Xbox One boxart. Will pick it up on Xbox One as the hipster choice.

I suspect a PC version will come later, probably when the value/price of the PS4/One versions drops from the $60 launch price.

 

[antibolo]

Not physical for PS Vita.
Also, what is SEGA Europe doing, why does everything get published through Deep Silver?

Sega Europe only exists for Football Manager now.

 

[Holundrian]

So worried, I have super low confidence of this turning out to be good :/ hope I'm super wrong. The demo wasn't too great and they went backwards on the designs.

 

[YianGaruga]

Did we know this was planned for Vita as well, as far as I recall only the Ps4 was mentioned.

The port was announced somewhere down the line, originally it was PS4 only I think

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Wtf the game is not turn based like the first one? Why?

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Wtf the game is not turn based like the first one? Why?

It's a spin-off

 

[Pooya]

Cool, now if only the game was actually good. I hope this doesn't bury the series for ever.

 

[Saphirax]

Just check at the sales. They sell quite well. Not at PS4 level? Right. Yet, why would they cut away something like 1/3 of sales?

We're talking about a niche rpg. The split (in the UK, doubt it'll be that much different in NA) for FFXV was 79-21. It definitely won't be 1/3 of the sales.


I hope this has dual audio.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

Pretty surprised it's on Xbox, very happy it's releasing in NA
