Aeana said:The Arc games have such cool music, written by the leader of T-SQUARE, Masahiro Andoh. That was pretty much the only reason I wanted to play them in the first place. Never did beat 1, though... I'd like to get to 2, since everybody says it's really great. Maybe I'll buy 1 on PSN and finally beat it so I can move on.
vireland said:I am obviously biased, but this seems like a serious stretch. TotS was very generic, with little to interest players in the characters. They were painted in such broad strokes. Very different than Arc I-III.
vireland said:Don't read TOO much into this, but would the Alundra fans out there pay for a Maximo HD PSN release?
vireland said:It's more a question of "is it worth the effort"? It's a complete pain in the butt to get older titles licensed and ready for PSN. If they only sell 5,000 or 10,000 or something, it's hardly worth it after everyone takes their cut. If we're selling 20 or 30k units (which is completely reasonable for an RPG at these prices and with the PS3 installed base), and up, it makes sense to keep grinding away at the other titles we're working on and maybe even get some PS1 content that was never localized translated for first-time release. There are lots of possibilities, but they all hinge on sales of these first few titles, since they don't get a whole lot better than this. If these won't sell for $5.99, nothing will.

vireland said:Playing it again getting things ready for this launch, I've been struck all over again by how fantastic the MUSIC is in the game. But it's all great - music, story, puzzles - it really is the superior Zelda experience, with a really dark storyline that Zelda would never touch.

The arrange album for 1 is wonderful, especially. It really sounds like T-Square's music. I hope I'm not their only fan on GAF. :\Teknoman said:1 and 2 have a great soundtrack.
Twilight of the Spirits was actually pretty cool (soundtrack wise too). Then again it was the first game I played before finding the collection...so that might have something to do with it.
None of the Arc games were ever that different. The combat sucked in Twilight too.I3rand0 said:And you finished Arc 3 because it was so different...?
Outside of the plot (translation) issues, it's still a better game overall than 3 but nowhere near as good as 1/2.
PepsimanVsJoe said:Yeah I dunno. To me Zelda games tend to have characters who I wish would die. Alundra has characters and I wished they wouldn't die but...sigh.
I3rand0 said:I'd rather you try to get the Lunar games on PSN (long shot I know).
TheSeks said:He's said in a previous thread he no longer has the license and the license is a mish-mash... don't ever get your hopes up for that, basically. But it would be nice.

You're not.Aeana said:The arrange album for 1 is wonderful, especially. It really sounds like T-Square's music. I hope I'm not their only fan on GAF. :\
vireland said:Close, but basically right. I have only one part of the rights, the rest were sold back to GameArts a long time ago. To get the games out as-is lots of parties would have to come together. I'm an optimist, and even I am pessimistic about that actually happening.
I3rand0 said:How about Growlanser games? I loved the Generations packages you guys had on the PS2.
ULTROS! said:I'll totally get Alundra despite finishing it 3 years ago.
I do have a question: since Arc the Lad and Alundra were published by Working Designs on the PS1, will you guys be solely publishing the Working Designs PS1-published title or are you guys planning to publish other titles that are were not necessarily published by Working Designs (on the PS1)?
vireland said:I'm not sure what's going on at Atlus, but I doubt they'd try again after GL V bombed hard. I'd love to give GL I and IV a proper showing, but both would need localization as well, so that's a whole 'nother leverl of PSN classics dedication. You need to buy a LOT of Alundra and Arc.
Yay.thebagofsand said:You're not.
RyanDG said:So what are the chances of Elemental Gearbolt coming out with Move support. :lol
Please? My disk broke...

vireland said:I'm working on licensing and releasing both WD and non-WD stuff. The press release coming (Monday, I think? I'm not handling it) will make it clearer.
That's about how I feel. I bought the WD collection when it came out 8 years ago. Arc 1 was mediocre, Arc 2 was good, Arc 3 was average.vireland said:I am obviously biased, but this seems like a serious stretch.

Ha! You're not missing much. There's another game I quit 25 hours in. You keep waiting for it to get interesting, but................... Nope. Good combat system though....still havent finished Grandia 1 though.
ULTROS! said:Cool beans.
I do hope Tomba would get published too *hinthint*.

What are the chances of you finding one of the Gold GunCon in the Assassins Case I'd say about the same. :lol

Huh? Maximo, as in Capcom's Maximo? I don't really see what relation that has to Alundra fans...vireland said:Don't read TOO much into this, but would the Alundra fans out there pay for a Maximo HD PSN release?

But yes, that'd be pretty awesome.
vireland said:We talked about this in another thread a month or so ago. Until the PS1 emulation has some kind of Move or lightgun support, the gun games will stay dead, unfortunately.

Not from most other RPGs.B.K. said:Arc the Lad II was a HUGE change from Arc I.
vireland said:I think there'd be a natural crossover, and it's a sin that series stopped at II.
ULTROS! said:Cool beans.
I do hope Tomba and Thousand Arms would get published too *hinthint*.
Arc II ranks up there with the Quest Tactics games for "things that would consume my life if I could play them on PSP." Arc I is... a light apéritif.Yasae said:............................And no love for Arc the Lad.
Which makes sense, as it wasn't too great.
SabinFigaro said:By the way, who owns the rights to Thunder Force? I'd love to see TFV on PSN, and I'd kill for TFIV (aka Lightening Force) on the VC.
sciplore said:What is the story behind this? I swore it was a Sony game so I never known why it never made it up on the store.
vireland said:Don't read TOO much into this, but would the Alundra fans out there pay for a Maximo HD PSN release?
That's pretty fantastic news, even with the prospect of simply being under consideration. It makes the pain of getting outbid (today) on an eBay auction of TFIV that much more bearable.vireland said:A little complicated with the demise of Tecnosoft, but I'm unraveling it. The rights did not die with the company.
Ahh that sucks well hopefully it gets a chance of release.ULTROS! said:The company who developed it closed down and most of them moved to Access Games (Deadly Premonition, Lord of Arcana).
