Hey now, no need to resort to name calling. I know it's hard, especially with people acting like Tat, but insults like that don't lead to a civil conversation (that's why personal insults are a bannable offense). Just keep than in mind, please :)

you know Tim is a Sony employee right?

He claimed to be in meetings with Stringer and was Kutaragis personal translator. (he's working there, but i'm 99% sure in a different capacity than what he suggests)

Hes whining about you guys in irc btw.

I can almost hear the sound of his sony brand tears hitting the keyboard.

And, pretty much holy crap at those impressions. They make it sound like the second coming. I'm still on the fence. I don't trust him after the final fantasy movie personally. I heard some bad stuff about that.

Most people are debating wether it will sell in japan. Wether it will sell 360s in japan. Or, where the developers loyalty lies. Is he making the game to piss off sony? piss off Square-enix? Do you people have no SOULS!?

Some people are more worried about if a Japanese audience will accept a game rather than themselves accepting it.

Oh, btw... the game sounds fun.

It will be safe to assume this game wont set japan a blaze. Itl move some units though. It wont be some phenomenon like dq or anything though.

Squaresoft barely exists anymore anyhow. It's all absorbed companies and pet projects for Nomura. =/

I really hope Matsuno ends up somewhere decent.

What was the game that would sell 500K in japan? Is this the one?
Click to expand...
Trusty Bell evidently... though there's no way it would've moved 500k on PS2 either, probably not even 200k actually. It's just crazy Namco at work again. ;)

Most of that thing about Sakaguchi is bullshit. He left Square, didn't come back into game development until MS waved money in front of his face, he caught a smell and scampered to them like a dog.

Well we all know he wasn't hiding in Microsoft's basement during the big gap when games were being made after he left. Also, he seems to be in favor of the 360 for a reason. Also he did say himself that MS is funding his games.

Riiight....more like he left Square and decided to take some time off and think about his next Step, MS just "Jumped in" at the right moment.

Jump in :p

yeah ok.

Mistwalker is a Japanese video game development studio started by Hironobu Sakaguchi (the creator of the popular Final Fantasy series) in 2004 with the financial backing of Microsoft. The logo and name were trademarked in 2001. Mistwalker outsources coding duties to other companies (including Artoon, and Feel Plus), preferring to focus primarily on the design portion of game development.

Sakaguchi is the president of new studio, and Kensuke Tanaka, the creator of the PlayOnline system, is the vice president.

Tim really wants Square Enix to crash and burn! :lol

Of course I can understand where he is coming from. The company is becoming a huge FF machine. FF this and FFthat all over the place.

OLD OLD info, even before they were announce. but..

Daisuke Fukugawa, who previously served as battle planner on Final Fantasy Tactics and as planner for Legend of Mana is now serving at Mistwalker as director on one of the team's two projects. Hiroshi Arai, who supervised 3D graphic design for Final Fantasy 7 and served as modeling supervisor on Final Fantasy 9 is now at Mistwalker, doing modeling work on both projects.

Plus Nobuo, kind of. And supposedly quite a few others, especially at feel plus. I'd say yeah, it's the SquareSOFT rebellion.

WTF is up with the thread title? Demo impressions on page 6? I posted the same Tim Rogers insanity on page 4.

If LO and BD actually did make the 360 turn around in Japan it would be a miracle and would go down in history books.

And that is exactly why I want this to happen!!

Seriously though, can LO really be that good? Can any game be that good? I'd love to see game that good, on any platform.

So...well would you list you know games that you think have amazing soundtrack, and when i say amazing soundtrack i really mean it, something that you would hear it and you wouldn't say "Let me guess, this soundtrack is from a videogame".

Guys it's a reading comprehension issue... Darkness thought he used a singlur noun instead of a plural... "It's the best song I've heard in videogame" instead of "It's the best song I've heard in videogames" even though that's not what Aryuken said anyway. Now stop the bratty stuff... it's a single stupid misunderstanding and you're all fully aware of it, yet you all still bicker for the sake of bickering. I'm really getting tired of this being the Gaf standard.

Okay some news needs to appear and fast. Quick MS put the demo up on marketplace...please?

ehhh was the demo he played in Japanese or English?

It'll be interesting to know if they are synchronising the localisation of BD and LO with the development process.

I know Blim said that we wouldn't have to wait too long for either game to go West.

I am fully confident that we'll playing this demo by Hannukah. (Is Hannukah late or early this year? Fellow M.O.T.s, ASSEMBLE!)

i keep getting this sneaking suspicion that if you want to play all the great japanese rpgs this gen, you're going to have to own a heck of a lot more consoles than you've had to own in previous gens.

...and it looks like microsoft might have cornered the market on big budget jrpgs for the next year - is there *anything* on the horizon for another console that's been shown in anything approaching a near-complete state?
