Looks like new parent company wants tri-Ace to keep supporting consoles (that includes handhelds I assume). Good

Pretty sure Square Enix owns the Valkyrie Profile IP. Good luck getting triAce to work on it now that they're owned by Not Square Enix.VP3 next please. thanks.

Guys, guys.
Isn't it good news that a mobile company is looking to branch out into console games via acquisitions considering most of the news is the other way round?
can't kill my optimism

Welp, guess End of Eternity will never ever have a sequel.
Just let us be happyWell, it's good news that Nepro Japan actually sees the value of owning experienced developers, at least on the surface. Their investor report for the acquisition also points out tri-Ace's technical strengths and the multiplatform nature of their ASKA engine and tools. For what it's worth, this would be the first time I've heard anyone at all mention their engine in years, so it's nice to see their new owner knows what they bought!
I dunno though, Nepro has owned MGS (Mobile & Game Studio) for some time now, and all they've continued to make is Lord of Vermilion games for Square Enix. So unless tri-Ace can actually get publishing deals for console stuff, I'm not sure if Nepro will really step in. They're not even a game publisher afaik.
MGS also does 3DS games and even selfpublushes some of them. Mostly eShop titles like 50 Pinch Run or the Bike Rider DX series but also packaged games like Gyrozetter for Square Enix.Well, it's good news that Nepro Japan actually sees the value of owning experienced developers, at least on the surface.

Would be cool if Tri-Ace can be sorta like a Platinum, where different companies can hire them to make games (as well as doing mobile, of course).
Either way, I hope they have something in the works.
My guess is they ARE serious. But tri-ace needs a publisher, so... yeah...This is strangely reminiscent of the Last Guardian
They're dead, people. Market realities.
Is that the engine they made that Star Oceanish tech demo for but wasn't actually used for anything?Well, it's good news that Nepro Japan actually sees the value of owning experienced developers, at least on the surface.

that's...that's pretty much what they've been their whole existence and they were unable to stay that way without being bought up.
What? RoF is in my top 3 favs of last gen. I haven't seen much hate for it on GAF.Who hates on Resonance of Fate?
GAF...
Like Nepro's MGS working on Lord of Vermilion 3 for Square Enix you mean?Pretty sure Square Enix owns the Valkyrie Profile IP. Good luck getting triAce to work on it now that they're owned by Not Square Enix.
Yuck, Infinite Undiscovery was awful. Having said that, this is sad. I take it Phantasy Star Nova didn't sell well? I don't take this as a death toll though, smartphones can still be great JRPG devices. Hopefully they'll be able to make a few standard RPGs down the line if the expected ftp games do well.
A lot of it could be down to expectations going into a new generation and hoping for something to really push the genre, but it could also be that there were a million and one little issues framed by really bad cinematics. tri-Ace just dropped the ball with those entirely last gen, it seemed only Resonance of Fate could be considered halfway decent there.Why did everyone hate Infinite Undiscovery? :/ Sure it has a lot of untapped potential, with its basic battle system along with too much hit-stop lag and bad voice acting, but the game had an interesting story, a unique world, a phenomenal soundtrack, some good characters, it didn't overstay its welcome, and the battle system was quite fun and diverse despite the simplicity and limitations it cast upon the player.
It's definitely a good RPG in my opinion.

Star Ocean: Second Story HD Remaster might still happen? I can dream now

Well... Square-Enix kills them far more efficiently than any smartphone company could do...You had one job, Square Enix and/or Sega...
