Mr. Fortitude posted:I can tell Star Ocean 5 will be something special already. Having the main characters sister as the love interest but IT'S OKAY BECAUSE IT'S NOT BLOOD RELATED and another girl who has JRPG amnesia and the ingame screenshots still have an uncanny valley doll look to them too I guess they played Demonicon

Rinkles posted:What made Infinite Undiscovery a bad game? It kinda had the same problem as Fable, where it was hyped as being super ambitious with things like "if you eat an apple a tree will sprout up later" that turned out to not be in the game. There was also supposed to be a big system with how you split up your party, but it ended up not really mattering. Things like that. Overall nothing I would call absolutely terrible, just kinda mediocre.

Endorph posted:Are they bankrolling it, or is it Tri-Ace's new parent company doing the bankrolling and squeenix going "Uhh, we get money on this, right? Okay knock yourselves out." Square-Enix is the publisher so it's them bankrolling it. The director is a guy who worked on Valkyrie Profile and I don't recognize the producer at all.

Well okay, I was being hyperbolic but still don't have much faith in it. http://gamearts.pgtb.me/G11qsW Not sure if this was posted yet but GameArts have a little survey thing going, gauging interest in possible PC ports of their other games like Grandia and Lunar.

Max out everyone's initial special move fast, since when maxed out it's an instant canceler for moves enemies need to charge up, although Grandia II is one of the easiest JRPGs out there regardless.

So after the dumb as hell regular battle theme, here's a 17 minute preview of the other music in Xenoblade X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOMmE6bsl_c Those sure are track names? Also considerably less rapping. Anyway if you've ever this composer before this should all have a really familiar feel to it.

Tallgeese posted:So you Saturn fans know, Dragon Force II has been translated. Yeah, Saturn emulation is basically SSF, which has decent compatibility but looks like utter poo poo, and Yabause, which sometimes looks decent but seldom works. An neither of them have anything close to resembling active development.

Sawano is good at Sawano music, but it's very same-y. You could have told me that was the soundtrack to Aldnoah and I'd have believed you initially.

Speaking of MonoSoft, they're pretty forward about their past mistakes. The problems in their development style that got worked out under Nintendo were already mentioned, and in a recent Iwata Asks for the 3DS release of Xenoblade, Takahashi pretty much said right out that Xenosaga's development was kind of a mess. quote:Takahashi :We began Monolith Soft in 1999, with funding from Namco before they became Bandai Namco. The first game we made was Xenosaga, but because we were developing it while we were building the organization, we didn't have enough people. The programmers and the planners were all rookies. At the time, the director of Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X, (Koh) Kojima, had just joined the company right after graduating college.

I recall hearing that some of the scope issues came from Takahashi not being able to say no to his wife, who was one of the lead writers.

I thought people were talking about how they just want to get out of video games all together and go full panchinko. Because at least that would make sense. But its sad that loving Lunar and Langresser have revivals or corporate interest while Suikoden is still dead after Tieketris.

I would argue that Grandia 1 is good, just dated. If you can put up with older JRPGs it's fine. 3 is pretty bad though, and that one weird offshoot one who's name I can't remember is even worse.

Someone at Game Arts refuses to let go. Between most companies that kill their franchises and those that pretend they never exist, I'll gladly take another release of Lunar for PC from a company at least knows what sells. It's better than getting another dragon song and then to hear nothing for another 5 years.  ImpAtom posted:There was another Suikoden game after Tierkries actually.
