The Guided Fate Paradox looks neat.

Is ZHP any good? How similar is it?

As I promised earlier last week, here are the links to our interviews:

-Sohei Niikawa (NIS America President): http://www.t-ono.net/interview/Sohei-Niikawa-Interview.html

-Kay Hirono (Time and Eternity Producer):http://www.t-ono.net/interview/Kay-Hirono-Interview-NIS-America-Reunion-Press-Event-2013.html

"People overseas really like the glamorous (voluptuous) style of girls, but people in Japan really like the skinny, small, kind of young girl style- you know, the very moe culture. *laughs*"
-Kay Hirono

That's a good way to end an interview lol.

Since fans abroad are really into things like first person shooters, we want them to understand that it's really different from those games. This title is a really happy and fun story so that is one of the things we want the fans to enjoy.

That seems like either a broad generalization or they are a bit confused about who their audience is going to be.

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

BlisteredThumbs also had an interview; according to what they heard from NISA, BRS has been completely done for a while and will release sometime before E3, and will also be PSN-only.

 

[Clov]

PSN only already was known, but I'm just glad it's coming out in the first place! I've waited way too long for it.

It would be pretty neat if they could make a limited physical edition like Gaijinworks did with CoH2, though I wouldn't count on it.

 

[Red_taiyaki]

That seems like either a broad generalization or they are a bit confused about who their audience is going to be.

Since I was the one conducting it, it really did seem as though Kay is really worried about how the game is going to be perceived overseas since it wasn't all that particularly received all that well in Japan. Still going to purchase it, but I'm not expecting much tbh.

NISA only allotted us around ten minutes per each guest so we kinda had to end the interviews abruptly. Glad to know the ending to Kay's interview worked .

 

[Clov]

I'm not expecting Time and Eternity to turn out very good either. I might get it for the novelty, though.

Is Black Rock Shooter supposed to be good? It looks nice, but it's been so long since they announced it, I hardly remember anything about this game.

Yeah, its reputation won't really help the game. I might get it cheap a few months later, if reviews won't completely trash it, say, if it's better than Last Rebellion (setting quite the low bar here).

It's a decent game. I have some problems with how it fits in the "universe" due to other media already grounding a look that makes sense for its look in huke's art and then they do that. Then some voice acting choice issues, characters, etc. But that's more of a fan in me. Gameplay's not too bad.

Good man. Moe culture and young girl style is best.

 

[Durante]

Since there seem to be a few people who have some regular contact with NISA in this thread, could anyone ask them why the Disgaeas are not up on PSN? I would have purchased Disgaea 4 for full price already on 2 separate occasions if I could have instant gratification

So most of your issues is stuff that won't bother me because I've never seen/read anything of this series?

 

[InfiniteNine]

Black Rock Shooter is an alright game but if it didn't come with that White Rock Shooter figure I would have felt a little disappointed in my purchase.

 

[Stark]

Not really a series, but yeah. That's the gist of my impressions. It's nothing amazing though and it is imageepoch, iirc.

Wanted that so much.

 

[Clov]

The only Imageepoch game I've actually played is Fate/Extra, which I really enjoyed. Would you say that BRS is better or worse than it? Just curious.

I'll bring it up next time I get in touch with their PR department.

japan has to do the work first. if the market isn't that big for psn games in japan, they might not bother.

 

[djplaeskool]

So I just pre-ordered all three of these.
Also, Amazon has The Witch and the Hundred Knights slated for release in a couple of weeks. Is this accurate? Scratch that. Witch and the Hundred Knights is March 2014 rather.

Interesting interview, rather short though.

Didn't see this

 

[zroid]

Ughhhh

Am I a bad person for wanting to play Time & Eternity

It's just... so pretty... ;_;

 

[Walter Matthau]

Agreed. It'd also be nice if they could do a complete bundle for Disgaea 4.

 

[Red_taiyaki]

Ughhhh

Yes, your lust to play Time & Eternity has caused starvation worldwide. I don't know how you can sleep at night...

 

[zroid]

Yes, your lust to play Time & Eternity has caused starvation worldwide. I don't know how you can sleep at night...

I mean because everyone says it's a terrible game.

I feel shallow and superficial.

 

[Jucksalbe]

I feel shallow and superficial.

Playing the game will be your punishment.

 

[djplaeskool]

Hey, I'm walking headlong into the spinning blades.
If my man RyougaSaotome had to play it for a review, the least I can do is play it as a show of support.
I plan on live-streaming my exploits.
His review of the game has absolved most hopes of me fully enjoying the experience, but hey, who knows...I might like it still.

 

[zroid]

Playing the game will be your punishment.

Good point :lol

 

[pancakesandsex]

Good point :lol

you may want to look at some videos before you double down on that "pretty" comment.

 

[Coxy]

Playing the game will be your punishment.

I think we have an OT title

 

[Red_taiyaki]

Playing the game will be your eternal punishment.

Fixed.

 

[Master Milk]

So I just pre-ordered all three of these.
Also, Amazon has The Witch and the Hundred Knights slated for release in a couple of weeks. Is this accurate? Scratch that. Witch and the Hundred Knights is March 2014 rather.

Huh, these are up on Amazon. Is the date for D2 right, 10/8?

 

[zroid]

you may want to look at some videos before you double down on that "pretty" comment.

Well I haven't seen a ton of it admittedly, but from what I can tell, the environments are nothing special while the hand-drawn character art is ducking gorgeous.

 

[Stark]

Ughhhh

Am I a bad person for wanting to play Time & Eternity

It's just... so pretty... ;_;

Not at all. I look forward to playing it too. Albeit for a different reason.
