Re: Phantasy Star Online 2 Producer Talks About 2014 Plans

I own a PSV and I absolutely adore it. Sure it doesn´t have many games but man, it´s a great system. Sadly not that many people seem to like having your whole PSN PS1 compatible library with you on the go. Or some nicely upgraded games from the PS2 or PS3.

Sega never said that the PS Vita version would come westside. The only version that they said would come west was the PC version. Why people are so hung up on a PS Vita release of something that Sega themselves never have said is coming west is beyond me.

Reread the comment. I said I disliked learning how to beat a boss before partaking.

Where in tarnations do i say I don´t like studying a bosses move set? I didn´t.

Learning how a boss acts with multiple attempts is what´s fun. Learning what element it is weak against, how to protect against the attacks of the boss etc etc is fun. When you experience it for yourself and not by watching others.

I am all for dying in a game and being punished for it. Makes you either grind away or be very very cautious.

Penalties for playing like a jerk is a must. Some games do have a "revive on the spot" function. So far it has worked fine since the usage of this function is limited to 3 a day or to the amount of scrolls you own.

Permdeath in a MMO? Dear lord. That sounds horrible.

Indeed. Learn how to beat a boss before partaking is how you play games? Then I understand you could accept that.

For me it would ruin the game knowing exactly what to do against a boss or how it moved.

Grinding away for levels yes that is the sole option left so I wouldn´t die. Not fun. Games are supposed to be fun.

And in a way they are holding a gun against your head since the revival items would surely be cash shop only and thus if you die once you have to start a new character from square one...

After more than half a year they did mention that it was "delayed". But that a 2013 release would be done...

So if they make each boss requiring you to die at least once and the only item for revival is sold from a cash shop then you´re all "oh goodie I have to spent hard earned money on stupid shit just to beat the boss"?

I sincerely hope not. Increasing difficulty only to be able to sell more items in a cash shop is a shitty move.

Re: Xbox One-reklam med Zlatan - Zlatan is #TheOne | Feber / Spel

Hm jaha. Så Zlatan vill inte spela Fifa eller Xbox trots att han är ansiktet utåt. Han är ju fullständigt ointresserad av produkten och bryr sig om spelet.

BRA REKLAM!!! eller kanske inte.

Re: Ar NoSurge Brings Song Magic And Talk Matters From Ar tonelico

manga — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 23:39:39 -0000

So. Any talk of it ever reaching outside Japan? Cause I´m so very interested in this title. Given the amount of time I´ve spent on Gust games I would so very much want a game like this.

I´m missing Ciel no Surge pretty hard but I do understand why it would never get here.

Re: From Strategy RPG To Fighting Game, Here’s Team Tears To Tiara In Aquapazza

manga — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 23:41:41 -0000

Well. I´ve only played Tears to Tiara for the PC and Utawaremono and both are great SRPG titles. Loads of text and character development and funny moments mixed with sad ones.

So yes, if you understand Japanese and can get your hands on their games then by all means yes Leaf´s games are good. ToHeart 2 is quite popular and even got itself a dungeon crawling spinoff.

Hm, well Arawn was hailed as the "demon king" and RIannon was supposed to be the sacriface to wake him up. But Arawn being Arawn just didn´t feel like it so he woke up early and didn´t require the sacriface :p

So slayer of demon king? Nah, not really :)

Good to see that Tears to Tiara is getting some posts about it. Octavia is in Aquapazza right? She´s also one of Arawn wifes. So yeah, he could be called the harem king :)

Re: Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness (PS3) Review

manga — Sat, 12 Oct 2013 07:07:36 -0000

Great review of the game! I would say that Disgaea 4 is the one game coming close to the original game in terms of fun facts and parodies.

But yes, the main cast is back and NIS have really spent the time moving the old classic tale into a new enviroment and succeeds very well.

Re: Killer Instinct Is Like Playing Darkstalkers At A Heavy Metal Concert

manga — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 01:35:28 -0000

Good to know. It still feels to much like SF4 for me to be interesting.

But that they are not making all the stuff from the original game and having that from the start is bull. I found it fun to humiliate the CPU opponent by making him/her dance.

Re: Killer Instinct Is Like Playing Darkstalkers At A Heavy Metal Concert

manga — Wed, 02 Oct 2013 23:44:09 -0000

Hm. So you can do a manual Ultra combo? KI has died if that is truth. Ultra combos are the ultimate joy of watching, the ultimate finishing combo.

Not something you do on your own :p

Re: How I Saved A Chocobo in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

So it´s like FFX-2 costume changes? Changing her costume makes her being able to use different spells/skills?

Nice Square-Enix!

Or maybe not. I thought the costumes were supposed to be just a design, not change her personality and give her different skills...

Re: Ar Tonelico And Ciel no Surge Combined For Gust’s Next Game, Ar No Surge

I thought I wasn´t going to get hyped for games after this year. But oh so wrong I was.

Lovely news. Now let´s hope there is a nice and spunky CE edition to drool over.

How have Tecmo Koei been doing on the Collectors Edition stuff? NISA always had fun collectors editions. Does Tecmo Koei do this too?

Re: Sega confirmed as the new owner of Atlus

manga — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 02:34:21 -0000

I´d rather have had Sony buy Atlus. That way there would at least be a 1% chance of their games being transalted and released overseas. But with Sega as the owner?

Oh we have this nifty game mixing relationship anxieties, cheating and puzzles and we would like to translate and release it outside of Japan

Sega Management: No! To risky! make a pachinko version of it instead!

...

If Catherine already hadn´t been released and developed.

At this point I just can´t see anything positive comming out of this. But I hope and might even pray that I´m wrong about this gut feeling of mine.

Re: Sega köper Atlus | Feber / Spel

manga — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 23:37:26 -0000

Givetvis tolkar jag fritt. Det är svårt att göra någonting annat när folk är lyriska över att Sega köpt Atlus. Man undrar ju om de missat hur de hanterat PSO2, VC3 och andra titlar.

Sega har en "om det är minsta ekonomiskt problem så riskerar dem ingenting" policy verkar det som. Atlus är fokuserade på "riskabla titlar". Jag menar Persona 3 med dess innehåll var väldigt riskabelt, Catherine som spelidé var bara galen.

Jag ser inte hur Sega med deras bakgrund ska "våga" att låta Atlus göra spel av den kalibern för släpp utanför Japan. På det sättet blir jag inte besviken när några titlar aldrig utannonseras från Atlus för engelsk release hädanefter...

Re: Sega Dream Will Take Over Atlus’ Parent Company Index Corporation

manga — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:19:39 -0000

Or they could let Atlus USA handle the localization of PSO2 so we get the game translated...

Re: Sega Dream Will Take Over Atlus’ Parent Company Index Corporation

manga — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:17:40 -0000

Will they let Atlus USA continue to localize niche games? If they couldn´t bring over a class-a title like VC3 then I don´t know what.

Or how their american division is handling the PSO2 thing right now?

Into that we throw Atlus who takes risks, localizes games that are as you said niche games and then take a look at how Sega does things? Anything other than Sonic? Hm we´re not sure if we should release this outside Japan...

But I´m being overly negative. I just don´t want to miss out on Atlus awesomeness.

Re: Sega Dream Will Take Over Atlus’ Parent Company Index Corporation

manga — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:15:02 -0000

Don´t you mean "you feel the localizing powers in your heart weakening..." ?

I mean, PSO2, VC3 to mention two class A titles we haven´t seen outside of Japan...

Re: Sega köper Atlus | Feber / Spel

manga — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:44:48 -0000

Så att de fullständigt skiter på sina fans genom att bara släppa Sonic spel, inte släpper PSO2 på Engelska efter nästan 1års tystnad, inget släpp av Valkyria Chronicles 3 till PSP och bara allmänt förstör spelserier hit och dit är ok med dig?

Jag vet inte med dig men jag vill ha fler SMT titlar översatta till engelska och släppta utanför Japan. Nu när Sega Sammy köpte upp Index Holdings så ser det mörkt ut för att man någonsin får se några intressanta titlar från Atlus på engelska igen...

Re: Xseed “Looking Into” PS3 Version Of Trails in the Sky SC

Then I had missunderstood the whole thing completely. I am sorry.

Re: Xseed “Looking Into” PS3 Version Of Trails in the Sky SC

manga — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 16:53:32 -0000

Then i´ll excuse myself for having a foggy memory. From what I understood the cost of translating the game was to large for Xseed so they dropped the title.

Was this wrong information?
