Media / Single-Player RPGs / Re: Final Fantasy Type-0 joins Square Enix's Ultimate Hits budget line in Japan

Square Enix is simply waiting to give the west the new and improved "Final Fantasy Type-Lite"....... Just like Type-0 but for the IOS :)
That is a frighteningly plausible possibility. Though I don't even want to imagine playing Type-0 with touch controls...it was hard enough on the PSP and its single analog stick. PSP emulation on the Vita at least lets you map the second stick to the d-pad, which is definitely better than nothing but it lacks the fine control of proper second stick support. There's a lot of stuff going on in this game, controls matter... |

Wait what? How come I never heard of this.
Time to hit play-asia.
I don't know, man, it was a pretty big deal (at least among importers) back when it happened but that was a couple years ago. I remember Andriasang had a ton of articles about it... Edit: Bad news just keeps coming. We already heard that indie devs can't self-publish, but at least they still have XBLIG, right? Well apparently there won't be separate channels this time around. There's just "games" now. Now while MS hasn't said so explicitly, I seriously doubt they want the flood of unregulated content from XBLIG to be in their main channel, so it sounds like they're just getting rid of XBLIG entirely. This while both Nintendo and Sony are aggressively courting indie devs... Also, no cross-play between generations. I guess that doesn't seem very surprising to most people, but with Sony supporting PSP<->Vita play, Vita<->PS3 play, and even PS3<->PC play (Portal 2, and to some extend Dust 514) I wouldn't be surprised if they could do PS3<->PS4 (though they haven't actually said one way or another). But the 'superior' Xbox Live infrastructure can't even handle 360<->One. |

Combo breaker!
I read something that brings me a bit of hope. I think it's pretty obvious that MS is not even looking at Japan with the XBOXONE. With that level of effort, I would be pretty stupid to keep the Idolmaster serie as a MS exclusive instead of jumping ship.
I'm looking forward to perhaps finally playing an Idolmaster game =)
Idolmaster already jumped ship, you know. Idolmaster 2 was released for PS3 with a ton of exclusive content. |

I don't buy and sell used games off stream, I do on consoles . I also use Gamefly and rent games from my local rental store
OK, I understand Taelus's point, but come on. The reason you don't buy and sell used games on Steam or rent games is because you can't. So that isn't really an argument... By the way: XBox One hard drive non-replaceable, does support external storage. Hope you like 500GB...forever. Especially with those mandatory game installs... Edit: Woops, totally misread that headline. I don't know why I saw a 'not' before the external storage thing...I guess I'm just trained to be pessimistic. |

This conference was even worse than I feared. Multimedia crap! Kinect! Their biggest reveal (Call of Duty) is multiplatform anyway. BTW, Wired has a story that is far more informative than this conference. Interesting tidbit: There’s one feature of Xbox One from which we can infer quite a few conclusions: You can install any game from the disc to the console’s hard drive, and then play that game whenever you like without having to put the disc in.
Wired asked Microsoft if installation would be mandatory. “On the new Xbox, all game discs are installed to the HDD to play,” the company responded in an emailed statement. Sounds mandatory to us.
What follows naturally from this is that each disc would have to be tied to a unique Xbox Live account, else you could take a single disc and pass it between everyone you know and copy the game over and over. Since this is clearly not going to happen, each disc must then only install for a single owner.
No used games confirmed. |

I thought Panopticon had a way better name, freedom wars is as generic as monster hunter as far as a title goes...but hokay.
Hopefully more info soon.
Yeah, seriously. Panopticon was an awesome name. "Freedom Wars" sounds terrible... |

 I don't want this game but I sort of want that limited edition...what the hell is wrong with me... Still don't care since it doesn't change the fact that the game is still the epitome of :japan: and :effort: rolled into a single package. And if it helps, all the preorder stuff to me is just a tragic reminder of how wasted the artwork (among other things) is on this game. That's kind of the thing. Vofan's concept art for the game is gorgeous, and I wouldn't mind an artbook with it. What actually made it into the game is another story... Anyway, I've settled down and recalled that the soundtrack for the game is actually pretty bad...meaning the artbook and poster are the only things in that set I would actually care about. And that's just silly for the asking price... |
