I'm fine with this.
The star ocean series has been finished for a long time now and i can't think of a tri-ace game that i was interested in for years.

They did it just to slight her.

Lymle was a boring 11 year old pothead. This asshole was just the most aurally and visually grating piece of shit character I've ever seen.

People better get used to this sort of thing. Console gaming is a shrinking niche, and it's only going to get worse.
It's not, because you basically
destroy EVERYTHING from that alternate earth.
EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERTHING!!!

well MS kept Infinite Undiscovery..
I'm so sad especially because of Radiata Stories
Looking forward to more exciting growth/consolidation/product and market centralizing/under-utilization of talent in the mobile sphere!
RIPPPPPPPPPPPP
The companies without a focus on mobile gaming failed us all. PSNova underperforming was not good. I didn't know it was do or die, but with some of the staff leaving and lack of a strong console/handheld title, some would say the writing is on the wall
That being said, I'm still mad as hell, and RIPPPPPP
What's going to happen to PSnova? Aren't they still supporting it with DLC/adjustments...

Thinking along those terms, how awkward would their battle system feel with a touch screen? I mean, the control will be as wonky as ever without a nub/thumbstick..
Nepro's subsidiary develops games for Square Enix
I imagine any ongoing contracts will still be done by tri-Ace.

I will miss you...
Word.
I was one of the very few that loved star ocean 4 international despite its flaws..and hoped they would get a chance to make another with a similar fighting system, which to me is still my all time favorite in any rpg..I'll remember you always.
sörine;152921012 said:I'd also like to point out that Mobile & Game Studio is essentially Game Studio. Nepro acquired them in 2011.
The creators of Xevious and Druaga aren't bad company for tri-Ace to be keeping.
Right, Masanobu Endo is still there at MGS as adviser to the board. Funny how there is always some Namco connection somewhere in there. =D

This is tragic.
Time to go back and earn all of those Battle Trophies in Star Ocean 3/4, unlock all 10 difficulties in Ressonance of Fate and clear all 50 rounds of Valkyrie Profile 2 if you haven't already. You should probably clear all Seraphic Gate dungeons in each respective Tri-Ace title for good measure, too (including Infinite Undiscovery, so that you can witness the "Dinner, Dinner" scene 4/5 times).
Maybe, by then, we'll all be old farts living in a world playing true spiritual sucessors to Tri-Ace classics, developed by the chosen few offspring who will have grown up and followed in their mother/father's footsteps, crusading a new era/rennissance in traditional RPG gaming. Or maybe none of that will happen and we'll be too dead and tired to give a shit about the endless supply of seemingly cool mobile-based games with surprisngly good OSTs and slick artwork/logos that deceive our fragile minds into thinking these APs are cooler than they actually are.

I d.. um... I don't know who Nepro is. What do you think they're going to do.
tri-Ace are the three aces of Wolf Team, one of the three developers I respect and respect the legacy of more than any others. So I hope things will be okay.
Edit: Oh, they're going to focus on mobile. That's not good. :<
I don't want the legacy of Wolf Team to just make touchscreen games.
I hope that Windows 10 becomes popular in Japan. And that mobile starts to mean things like ultrabooks.
I would love to see tri-Ace games on Steam.

How sad.
Well there goes my hope for a Star Ocean The last hope definitive edition.
Well, not entirely, SE could always put another team than Tri-Ace for a 'HD remaster'. Though I don't think the game was a big enough success for SE to consider such thing.
A new Star Ocean though? Forget it.

Damn. Now I'll never get my Resonance of Fate 2.
Hell, I'd take a remaster of RoF. That battle system was so much fun.

That's coming anyways from S-E, but tri-Ace doesn't own those properties.
If S-E headhunts some of the major players at tri-Ace (please don't do this), it could happen. If people from tri-ace start a new company or go freelance, they could be hired to make games. It's happening with RomaSaga 4.
