Will this have the same sound track as the original? If so I might have to buy the sound track. Did a sound track for the original ever come out? Damn good music.

Oh no, you didnt say Agetec, you didnt say Agetec. After the blashpemy that Wild Arms alter Code F localization was thanks to agetec, i dont want them doing any localization of an rpg game anymore.Emotions said:

I would imagine that having full speech in it would qualify it as having 20% new content (or whatever the requirement is).
That said, Atlus would be the likely candidate (since they already have a translation), but I doubt they would want to spend the cash on doing a full English voice version even if they seemed to be interested in doing PSP games (which they don't).
What would be cool is if the Japanese developer of this just got the English translation from Atlus, and included that as an option (along with the Japanese voice). Won't happen, but would be nice, as it would be minimal work, but could sell a few hundred extra copies to people who import games.

I actually prefer the GBA version. The PSP sprites don't look as crisp, they even look a little blurry

Mad Super Eagle filtering on the sprites...
Looks like the same thing though. Just maybe just more illustrations, revamped music score, more voice acting and maybe some more extras.
If they added like another story arch like playing that other angel dude, then it might be worth something.

I completely disliked the GBA version, and the PSP "remake" looks like a ****ing joke. No thanks.

Eh, the filtering doesn't seem like much considering the pics ares still lower resolution than what the game will look like on the PSP screen.

It's amazing because if this was on the DS people would be going "WOWOW DS FTW 2D 4lyfe". Now a GBA-looking game is on the PSP and people are complaining.

No, if it's was on the DS people would be saying "Hey, wait a second, this is the exactly same game we already played for the GBA." :lol

It's amazing because you've lost all sense of reason and logic?
Riviera is not a GBA-looking game, it IS a GBA game. And before that, it was a Wonder Swan Color game. The game is being ported with its GBA graphics 100% intact. Why SHOULDN'T anyone complain about that?
This isn't a new game. If Sting announced a new game on the DS with the graphical quality of Riviera, or even better (as Riviera was ****ing gorgeous) -- as most 2D games on the DS or PSP have seen a big jump in quality in numerous respects over the GBA -- then yeah, I would say that's great. But doing a barely upgraded direct port (same graphics) from the GBA to the PSP, and you think people should praise tha?
You seriously need to get out of your anti-2D crusade; it's just tiresome.

Pretty much, yeah. :lol
Come on, let's not turn this into a stupid fanboy battle. What the fvck is the point? No one can and should defend this, it's a sad retarded attempt to make a tiny profit by selling Riviera for the THIRD (turd?) time! If this was on the DS it would be even SADDER honestly, so maybe they're trying to use the PSP as an excuse to claim "FULL VOICE" but really, fvck you Sting, go make a NEW game please.

Honestly, I blame Bandai more than I do Sting -- Riviera: Full Voice Edition being announced, like, a month after Tales of Phantasia: Full Voice Edition screams to me that this was not Sting's idea, and they're just going along because they're a tiny developer that relies upon this publisher's support.
I really, really would prefer Sting to be making a new game, but yeah, this is more Bandai's fault than anything. Wait a month and I'll bet there'll be a third Full Voice Edition port announced for the PSP.
