Love it but I'm pretty sure they'll be giving us something more edgy for the west.

Quick, someone shop some angry eyebrows on the girl, replace the hammer and naginata(?) with firearms and place an explosion in the background.

And who is Sahid again? *dead serious

I forget what his position is with Sony, but basically months and months back he asked people to tweet jrpgs they'd like to see localized on Vita, so that he could work with people to make it happen or something like that.
Tales of Hearts and Innocence ended up being the most popular tweets, followed by stuff like Type 0 and VC3.

 

[Pierre Levegh]

Fantastic. Day 1 for me. hopefully they do something like a special edition physical release.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Since the box art in the west most casual people would think it was a fishing game.

 

[Skinpop]

parts of me are getting moist reading this.

 

[ATXAlchemy]

Doubt it since he's been teasing the JRPG thingy long before the japanese announcement of this game in Japan IIRC.

This was first announced for Vita in 2012 TGS, if I am not mistaken.

Thanks for taking the time out to answer. Do appreciate it.

Shahid "Vita Pimp Master" Ahmad.

[Gbraga]

This actually looks cool as fuck, gives me a Chan-wook Park vibe.

 

[Takao]

Eh, possibly, but considering it's Japan Studio, I would have put money on it being planned for localisation from day dot.

I doubt that. The first game in this series had two chances at localization (on PS1, and then PSP) but were passed on each time.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Holy shit.

SCEA cares about Vita today.

 

[cardinalmind]

I'm going to be bancrupt this year.

You're not the only one bro who's becoming bankrupt in the end. Well atleast I'll be swimming with games this year. This is the most interesting game for me out of the three games announced today.

Spoiler

LOL

 

[Ridley327]

Holy shit. :O

we better get the PSP one as well then.

It's dead, Jim.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm ok with this.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Nice. This seems interesting.

 

[TheChaos0]

Thank you, Shu. I love you too!

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Oh shit! This is that crazy beautiful "Over My Dead Body" game isn't it? I was afraid we'd never get this! Is this going to be the first or second game?

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Shahid has nothing to do with this - this is first party.

 

[TraBuch]

Turn-based or action?

 

[antibolo]

So what kind of gameplay are we talking about? I hope it's not another Monster Hunter clone...?

 

[Takuan]

Was expecting a different art direction given the logo and title. The screenshots aren't very flattering.

 

[BadWolf]

The second I believe.

 

[sense]

Turn-based or action?

Pretty sure it is turn based

 

[ramyeon]

So what kind of gameplay are we talking about? I hope it's not another Monster Hunter clone...?

Huh? It's a turn based RPG.

 

[RpgN]

Most games worth importing are being brought over. What we're missing are Legend of Heroes games and Lord of Apocalypse. It feels good buying a system where you don't feel the need to import. And even then, the option is there. That's how it's done.

 

[chickdigger802]

looks kinda neat solely because im a bit bored of monhun style games.

is this out in japan? Any impressions?

 

[prwxv3]

It looks amazing in motion

 

[injurai]

Are there any fan translations of the original?

 

[SolidSnakex]

I doubt that. The first game in this series had two chances at localization (on PS1, and then PSP) but were passed on each time.

I actually remember someone from one of the smaller translation studios saying that they looked into bringing over the remake, but determined that it wasn't worth it because the PSP was so late in its lifespan at that point.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Amazing scenes. Vita on a real roll!

 

[Parakeetman]

Shahid "Vita Pimp Master" Ahmad.

Great informative article! Thank you for posting this.

I doubt we're ever going to see Lords of Apocalypse. Whatever opportunity Squenix had for releasing it is long past, no doubt due to Lord of Arcana's crappy sales in the west.

Yes, it's another Monster Hunter Panty Raid game. That is what every Japanese Vita game is.

I actually remember someone from one of the smaller translation studios saying that they looked into bringing over the remake, but determined that it wasn't worth it because the PSP was so late in its lifespan at that point.

Victor Ireland has said he's tried, but ultimately the kind of money it would bring in wouldn't be worth SCE's time to devote staff to the project.

 

[Koppai]

Yay for Vita and all of it's Japan games being brought over, I am so fucking excited for the Vita finally, I bought it at the perfect time I think

 

[Acquiescence]

Pretty sure it is turn based

Does the game have a full-fledged protagonist, or is it one of those dull create-your-own-character systems?

 

[jackissocool]

That box art is some of the best I've ever seen. It will be sad to see the US version. But it's so cool to see a game this absolutely insane getting localized.

It's one of those "your bloodline has been cursed to age to adulthood and die within five years so you play multiple generations of the same clan that you create and manage your characters'life span and breeding with deities"

 

[Ryuukan]

So what kind of gameplay are we talking about? I hope it's not another Monster Hunter clone...?

edit, wrong thread

 

[Parakeetman]

I seriously am going to die here, considering have to now pick up both JP and US versions... D:

 

[RpgN]

I doubt we're ever going to see Lords of Apocalypse. Whatever opportunity Squenix had for releasing it is long past, no doubt due to Lord of Arcana's crappy sales in the west.

Yes, I lost hope for it it too which is a shame. Its demo was very enjoyable on the Japanese store

 

[Wereroku]

I actually remember someone from one of the smaller translation studios saying that they looked into bringing over the remake, but determined that it wasn't worth it because the PSP was so late in its lifespan at that point.

I think it was Vic Ireland talking about that. If i remember its not that it wasn't worth it but that Sony wanted more minimum guarantee sales then could actually be recouped. Sad since the game seems really good also the translation work would probably be expensive as well apparently.

It's one of those "your bloodline has been cursed to age to adulthood and die within five years so you play multiple generations of the same clan that you create and manage your characters'life span and breeding with deities"

I like to think of it as selective breeding in game form.

 

[Zephyx]

Thank you based Sony. Vita's lineup is just getting better everyday.

 

[JimPanzer]

hmm don't like the JP cover, hope we get something which actually represents the artstyle of the game

 

[itzknickknac]

Wow, I'm just not meant to neglect my vita.

kinky kyoto

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I'm guessing this is good? It looks cool.

 

[Ouroboros]

I've heard nothing of this game before but judging by gaf's excitement I'll be buying it for my vita.

Makes the day a little better considering I couldn't get Paul McCartney tickets today...

 

[ATXAlchemy]

Yes, it's another Monster Hunter Panty Raid game. That is what every Japanese Vita game is.

I need to see this game realized. How many waifu does it have?

 

[AniHawk]

i've had my eye on this. glad to see it coming over.
