Tri-Ace was recently acquired by a mobile developer. You can't kill what's already dead. That Nepro Japan bought Tri-Ace to expand into console development and is charging ahead with SO5 certainly isn't what people expected, though. Persona 5 is a PS3 game also being released on PS4 in 2015. Is this going to be the same thing, but in 2016? Or is the PS3 version going to be a terrible stripped-down port? Either way, yeesh.

It's a franchise that's well-known, even if negatively-so in the case of the last game, and the actual gameplay is generally solid and bug-free.

JRPG's take a very long time to produce, especially when the studio is relatively small, so they probably only got their hands on a PS4 devkit partway through development.

quote:According to the producer, they’re not thinking about story downloadable content or a “full version” to be released later. “I sincerely don’t want to do anything with this game that’ll upset people even a little bit,” Kobayashi said. Ahaha. Well, they are aware that SO4 had some issues, so that's good, I guess. I loved it personally. I'm actually really hopeful for this one.

Honestly if the battle system is good they can do whatever the hell they want with the stories. SO4 may have had the most incredibly terrible cast and plot in like... Any JRPG ever, but the battle system was really fun and there's always a skip button for cutscenes. I hope we get to blow up an alternate version of Earth again!

Lalalalala can't hear you over this battle system, can't hear you over this battle system, ignore the creepy annoying child, ignore the creepy underdressed catgirl, just focus on Bacchus and the combat system and it'll be fine.

Excuse me but she is not a child. She is a teenager who just happens to be both mentally and physically a child!!!

hubris.height posted:holy poo poo that game is actually good when you present just the third point It's not anywhere near as good as it sounds. That third point is where you pick up the catgirl for starters, so she's front-and-center for most of the scenes there. And Edge Maverick's gullibility is really, really blatant and stupid.

The woman he teaches the antimatter junk to is setting off blatant I'M EVIL AS poo poo alarms the whole time and no one even tries to stop him. It honestly feels like they let Edge commit mass murder just to poo poo-talk him about being a little emotional over it.

I like that after the third point they show his sadness by just..removing his battle win poses entirely and have him doing an idle animation while looking into the camera with cold, dead Tri-Ace 3D eyes.

Star Ocean 2 is legit great. I appreciate 3 for what it was even if the story was dumb and even if I re-wrote the story from memory. 4 was hot trash garbage. I'm expecting 5 to be super awful based on those character descriptions but I'm gonna get it anyway because an idiot.

What was the reasoning behind xenogears being the first game they released in that series again? Was it just supposed to be a "start in the middle of a conflict to get people interested" sorta thing?

I actually liked SO3's story, plot twist and all, its real crime was its crafting system from hell. It was so bad compared to SO2's. Neddy Seagoon posted:Really branching out here for our protagonists, aren't we Tri-Ace? Yeah no kidding. Bland on bland on bland.

This looks like pretty much the most "playin' it safe" sequel ever produced, but the guy basically admitted as much so I don't know that I can fault them for it. Wait, yes I can.

Was it just supposed to be a "start in the middle of a conflict to get people interested" sorta thing? I imagine that as they worked on the game and came up with more backstory, they decided on the episode format as an afterthought. IIRC Takahashi's main idea for the game was the Fei and Id plotline, a soldier with dissociative identity disorder, and Soraya Saga's idea was Miang's plot, a computer becomes the mother of humanity and guides its evolution. Everything else was just kinda made up as they went along.

hubris.height posted:holy poo poo that game is actually good when you present just the third point The following main character's moping is clearly bullshit because it's quite apparent that his single brain cell is incapable of any such emotion. The guy in SO3 was annoying and a stickler for rules, but he wasn't a complete moron.
