I'm far, far more interested in this than the third release of P3. Here's to hoping it isn't another Nine.

Re: 3D Dot Game Heroes Dated

Ereek — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:52:45 -0000

That is refreshing, isn't it? I hate having a game announced 2 years before it comes out only to have it delayed for another 6 months two or three times.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV May Add Surnames To Ease FFXI Name Transfers

Ereek — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:23:50 -0000

Even if they don't let players transfer everything from their FFXI character, it's still nice that they're allowing some things to remain intact. It's a bit sad, though, since you can tell they're completely trying to replace XI with XIV. It's strange, though, since XI is still obviously making a good deal of money and has a rather large amount of players.

Re: Square Enix Publishing Modern Warfare 2 in Japan

Interesting decision. Perhaps trying to get on the heels of Gears of Wars 2? I heard that did very well in Japan, considering.

Re: Look It’s A La Pucelle Port For PSP

Oh, I like this. I just hope they fix the EXP off of party members "trick." It's a lot more challenging without that.

More Third Birthday information, Square. Please? In the next year? Maybe?

Re: Look It’s A La Pucelle Port For PSP

You should be awake, then, since they already are making a new PSP title.

Re: Finally, A Way To Transfer Skills In A Shin Megami Tensei Game Without Random Luck

Ereek — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:15:34 -0000

Yes, yes, thank you ATLUS. Devil Survivor had inheritance done nicely, I'm sure they can expand on that. I think I spent 2 hours+ fusing a perfect Helel in P4 and an hour making an invincible Beelzebub in P3. Nocturne was much easier to inherit in and extremely simple in the Devil Summoner games.

I agree that it might be almost too easy to abuse, but if that same player is going to just spend hours re-opening the fusion box to get the skills they want, making it any easier isn't going to do much in the long run.

Re: Okamiden In Glorious Motion

Ereek — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:58:45 -0000

I wasn't the biggest Okami fan, but my god Chibiterasu makes me need this game. The graphics are lovely for a 3D DS game, too.

Re: La Pucelle: Ragnarok Trailer Looks Familiar

Ereek — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:06:31 -0000

Demon Prier was originally just a reskinned La Pucelle succubus when you cleared the Demon prerequisites. I doubt it's just the addition of more scenes with that in it.

Re: Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble Not Intimidated By Holiday Rush

Ereek — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:26:14 -0000

ATLUS may not be intimidated by it, but I am. I have way too many games to play and I don't have the time or resources to play them all. I might have gotten this if it were not in the Holiday season, but as of now I simply have too many games higher on my priority list. It's a shame, too, since these smaller ATLUS titles sell out quickly.

Re: Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Coming Out This Year

Ereek — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:57:23 -0000

The graphics look amazing. I'm very, very impressed and I typically don't care about graphics in my games. I'm looking forward to BbS far more than Days. I love how it's more Disney oriented.

Re: Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Coming Out This Year

Ereek — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 23:43:19 -0000

As far as I'm aware, BbS takes place before the events of the first Kingdom Hearts, so it might.

I would totally buy something like this for my children if I had any. I remember loving this story when I was young.

Re: Dragon Quest VI DS Resurfaces, Dragon Quest III Port Joins The Party

Ereek — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:48:43 -0000

Ugh, III for mobile phones. III is amazing. I spent a huge amount of time on earlier versions of III and I still feel like I could spend more. Unfortunately, I don't play games on my phone, bring it to DS or something, SE!

Re: SEGA Teases Project Needlemouse: New 2D Sonic for 2010

Ereek — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:05:27 -0000

Indeed, Happy Birthday Dreamcast! I think I'll spend some time today playing my Dreamcast out of respect and love.

I'm too wary of Sonic Team to get excited about this new game yet, though.

Re: How Long Will The New Demon’s Souls Servers Be Online?

Ereek — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:21:39 -0000

For some of those who bought the Asian version and were on the fence about getting the North American version, I think this will be what solidifies their answer as "no." This is the type of game that you can play for more than 6 months, much like Monster Hunter.

Still, it's not as if the game is unplayable without the Online.

Re: Half-Minute Hero Timed For October

Ereek — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 17:39:22 -0000

It has already been released in Japan. It's coming out in the US in October.

I, for one, can't wait.

Really? I've heard from multiple sources that the localization is dismal.

Re: NIS Europe Is Working On Atelier Rorona

It's existed for a while. I know at the very least NIS Europe published Disgaea 3. They have a different logo.

Re: DS RPGs: Where’s My Plot?

Ereek — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:48:11 -0000

I enjoyed the story in Suikoden Tierkreis, Avalon Code, and Black Sigil. The latter had especially charming characters. And not really a RPG, but Lock's Quest has a surprisingly good plot for the Tower Defense genre.

Like pretty much everything in the DS, you have to wade through the layers of muck to find the gold.

Re: This Week In Imports: Tales of Vesperia Take Two

Ereek — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 04:51:02 -0000

Indeed, I'm trying not to hope for it because I know I'll just end up let down in the end.

Re: Is A Square Enix Strategy Game Heading Stateside?

Ereek — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:27:36 -0000

I'm interested, as long as it's not Wii/DSiware or an iPhone-only game. But the chances of that are slim.

Re: 3D Dot Game Heroes Seems Inspired By Zelda

Ereek — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:13:59 -0000

I get where everyone is coming from with Zelda, but I just can't shake the early-Dragon Quest feeling I'm getting from the Hero's sword/shield and how they're held.

Wait, wow. How did I miss this news about PS3 SO4?
