Well, EF suffers from the same problems that the importers are currently describing. I figure if they didn't bother me there, then I wouldn't have a problem with them in PXZ.

I'll admit I was kinda happy to see it, then I saw all the negative impressions here and went back to not giving a shit.

THESE TEARS... I CANT CONTROL THEM.

I really don't know how you can say Endless Frontier wasn't bad. I gave up on it after about five hours. There are only so many 15 minute random encounter battles I can handle. The game might have been decent if the enemies had about 1/10th the HP they had.
But I'm sure it still uses the horrible button mashing battle system from Namco x Capcom and the two Endless Fronter games. And the enemies probably still have the same insane amount of health.
Yeah I thought Nintendo was responsible for every game on Nintendo systems too.
When I was 5.
Unless you mean allowing this to be released, but they're not SCEA, and even SCEA would probably go "fine whatever keep it to PSN." Well, I guess the stake Nintendo has in Monolith can be a factor, but it's probably just some agreement that so long as the game's on a Nintendo platform Namco Bandai's free to borrow Monolith Soft for whatever they want, they do seem to have a dedicated handheld division just for that.

I didn't have an issue with 15 minute encounters when I played it.

WHAT IN THE FRESH HEgeageo

You've been playing too much Final Fantasy XI and XIV! Those long battles don't even phase you anymore!
The combat wasn't the worse thing about Endless Frontier though it was the random battles, enemy health and overworld. If they cut the ridiculous health enemies had in in EF this will automatically be a fantastic game.
IF. I just have no faith in this team to learn from their mistakes.
Banpresto didn't develop this alone, Monolith pitched in too. That's why I have more faith in this game.

That's why I don't have faith. It's the same team that worked on Namco x Capcom and the Endless Frontier games. They haven't made a good game yet.
THE KINGS ARE BACK!
I don't see Haken and Kaguya in there!

They have to respect their elders. Reiji & Xiaomu are the ish.
They developed Xenoblade and Soma Bringer. The best RPGs of the 7th generation but if you didn't like Namco X Capcom, Endless Frontier, Banpresto or Monolith Soft you have zero reason to have faith in this game.
There have been several impressions in this thread but the game wasn't received very well in Japan.
It does contain some of the most beautiful sprite work and animation you'll ever see along with excellent remixes of licensed themes from their respective series though. Conversations between crossover characters are always a fun novelty to see and the game has a few good points. The gameplay itself is best described as shallow though, eventually becoming tedium, along with an awful story. It's almost as if a company like compile heart got their mitts on all these megaton licenses and decided to put together a game with their usual design philosophy.
I half wouldn't recommend paying full price for this because I don't think it's worth it, but at the same time it's probably a good idea to support it if you want to see more localizations for the future.
Elders shmelders. Haken's the king of sexually harassing cowboys and Kaguya's... well, Kaguya!
I like Reiji and Xiaomu, too; they're a hoot.
I think Monolith Soft has a dedicated portable crew that isn't as good as their console team(s), at least not without getting their own IP to work on. So, yeah, Monolith Soft means nothing at best, is a mild warning sign at worst.
Though to be honest, I hope it does well anyway just because I want them to take the message to keep localizing stuff here. I just have no care given it sounds like a very easy, boring strategy RPG when I have trouble getting into that genre anyway.

I wonder if they're going to translate the battle quips & attacks. Not even Atlus bothered with that in Endless Frontier.
(Nor did they bother with localizing the superior sequel. )

)As a friendly reminder, the best JAM Project song is in this game as a BGM.

It's so great having this song while using X and KOS-MOS.

The teams that developed Xenoblade and Soma Bringer are not the same people that did Namco X Capcom, Super Robot Wars OG Saga, and this.

Dragon Quest 9 sold pretty well in the US. I would be surprised if we don't get the 7 remake, they just haven't announced it yet.

Banpresto
All characters have one animated cut-in and one static one (though sometimes they'd forgo the static one). A character has two attacks with cut-ins - the super move and the map attack. The animated cut-in can appear in either. In Hsien-Ko/Frank West tandem - Hsien-Ko's animated cut-in is in their tandem's map attack.

I'm reasonably sure we'll get DQ7r. DQMr is looking iffy and Pirate Slime sadly seems to be a lost cause though.
15 minutes is quite an exaggeration, though. Even when you get into a new area and face stronger enemies the random battles take a couple of minutes at most (unless you can't combo and get FORCED EVASION'd all the time, which can happen in the last parts of the game), once you get stronger and get better equipment/items you can take them out faster. And since you recover hp/mp on level up, you can always keep using spirits to increase hit and critical rate, change the attack order and increase your damage output
Bosses on the other hand...
Overall I liked Endless Frontier a lot, but I played it more like a rhythm game than anything. I noticed that in the new game plus I was mowing down enemies like it was nothing, and then I realized that what I enjoyed was making longer and longer combos, which I couldn't do if I was so strong that the enemies practically had a tenth of their HP (at least until I found a way around that). Bosses were more fun, though

THE RETURN OF SRW GAMES!
Reiji in 3D.
Where can I pre-order my copy?
Year of the 3DS, and there's still so much to be announced! We are only in January!

Whoooooooooo! Such good news!
Maybe Cheesy is right and we'll be getting more and more quirky localizations with the Japanese economy doing whatever it's doing. I would really like Pirate Slime, though...and the other DQs. That said, really glad to see another of Monolith Soft's portable projects get localized.

It's not an SRW game and it's nowhere near as good. =x

That's not gong, skill, stormbringer, transformers evo, or seventh explosion!!
Jk. =D man this song was great live though.
I'm one of the people who had fun with the first endless frontier up until the end, the battle system just clicked with me. Forced evasions needed to gtfo of there, but everything else was just fun to sit and play. I do wish banpresto didn't have such an obsession with boobs, but there's enough over the top ridiculousness in their games that I can deal.
The srw games are also under the banpresto name, share characters and have a similar spirit in terms of ridiculously over the top fanservicey crossover games.
Well, "associate" meaning the lore fits in the overall OG storyline.

Tbh, they kind of shoehorned it in with Endless Frontier so meh. But regardless, it's not an SRW style game or brand. NxC wasn't even close and from what I'm reading PxZ, it's probably more of the same. Might be fun but it'll probably take alot more work to be as good as an actual SRW.
