I was part of a team working on a translation patch for Sora no Kiseki FC, but we dropped it at the announcement of the PSP release. We didn't want to take away any potential profits from XSEED Games and their work on Trails- primarily because of the fact that this game IS expensive to localize and bring to the US, with the large amount of text in it. Oh, i thought so, but asked to see the chance. i see, thanks for the info. I was planning on getting a PSP for Christmast, but.............economy issues, so yeah. |

Save up 1 buck from your lunch food per weekday (in case you still are in high school or so) then get one!  It's pretty much what I did to get mine and my DS (imported from the US directly without the taxes, too! Else it'd have taken thrice the time or more) for roughly 8 or so months... I forgot now. That was some years ago, though. Aaah, good times. |

Yeah, PSP is a great console for Falcom fans.  |

See, I usually blame the public school system first... then global warming.. and only then do I blame the economy.
Also if you have a PSP, you should get Phantasy Star Portable 2 for it! <_<
...unless you can at least stumble through Japanese games, then you should get Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity.

See, I kinda am pissed off at the decision. I for example won't buy a PSP. The little screen would drive me nuts. I prefer PC as my gaming platform. By denying Sora in English for PC to me, you didn't get XSEED any additional profit, Floofy -- and with many others it is just the same case. Some people just won't go to PSP just because there is no other English version.
Console exclusives can go to hell.

Wesker, PREPARE TO BE CHEWED OUT!!!  . . . because I once said the same thing, in much gentler tones. . .and got chewed out for it (though I get the impression Floofy just doesn't like me  ) But, for what it's worth, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Cutting the project for legal reasons I can understand, but treating Falcom and XSEED as competitors, and giving XSEED priority? To me, that doesn't make sense. The logic really boils down to, "NO! Don't buy Falcom games, buy XSEED Falcom games!"  Frankly, I've bought one XSEED game (Ys SEVEN), which is actually a lot considering I have no PSP to replay it on, but I do own SnK on PC. . . for someone to tell me I only DESERVE to play it on PSP because my Japanese sucks, and because XSEED is the be-all and end-all of Falcom, it just doesn't sit right with me. --also, comparing the price of the JP games vs the US releases, and taking into consideration Falcom takes the whole pie from their own sales, rather than sharing with their partner, buying the JP means more prosperity for Falcom. To me, Falcom's wellbeing takes priority over XSEED's. . . not meant as a bash on XSEED, but let's face it, this isn't the XSEED forum. There, now we can get chewed out together! *hides* |

I don't feel like being CHEWED OUT because I state a valid point. If I meet with disrespect over that, heads will roll -- I'll simply report the perp to one of the Red People here and let them deal with that.

Fair enough but I doubt that there are a whole lot of people who are in the same position as you. Certainly in an overall sense RPGs (or at least JRPGs) are now a console phenomenon. Remember that Falcom stopped making PC games because it stopped being profitable. I suspect you could count on both hands the number of gamers who are interested enough in this series to consider playing but also won't buy a PSP and still have a finger or two left over. Boo hoo. So do you think that you're entitled to have every company make a version of their game for every pllatform you might want to play it on regardless of whether it's an intelligent business decision? Exclusives can be based on what platform works for a game or what makes the most sense among options. They don't do it just to hurt you. |

Floofy didn't post it but I remember there was a concern that XSEED would issue a cease-and-desist order if the project continued. Regarding English PC version, XSEED was listed on steam's registry and they did say they were "looking into" on having it on steam. So who knows. |

I don't understand why people get adamantly for or against specific platforms, be it PC or PS3 or XBox or whatever. Unless we own stock in one of those companies, their success and failures don't affect any of us. I say root for the people who make those experiences possible, namely companies who make games like Falcom, and translators who make them readable like XSEED. Not playing a game just because you don't like the platform only hurts yourself. Decisions like the one Floofy et al. make sense. Practically speaking, they don't have time to translate EVERY game since they all have jobs and personal lives. We want XSEED to translate games so a greater % of them can be localized, in a more timely manner, not to mention the fact that they do a fantastic job. Launching another version of the translation on PC will hinder their ability to localize games, which is already kind of difficult. And like we all know, localizing a game helps to increase the awareness and popularity of a franchise. Popularity results in more demand and more profits for Falcom. And more games for us  |

See, I for example cannot even afford more hardware platforms, so I stick to the PC. And I believe that actually a lot of people are like me... depending of course from the country they come from, since in some countries income is lower than US or UK. Besides, like I said before, PSP has too small a screen for me to even consider.

....... like I said before, PSP has too small a screen for me to even consider. The small screen argument does not hold up since you can have your PSP screen appear on your TV through a cable. Regarding pricing, since you mentioned it in previous posts, XSEED licenses games for North America, so even if XSEED released a PC version people in the UK and other countries would have to import it. So add on the cost of purchasing + shipping = same or close to the price of a used orginal PSP. |

Someone said XSEED was to enter Steam, shipping and so on goes to hell automatically. PLUS you get weekend sales, first-day promotions, coupons and so on. So, I wouldn't have to import jack squat. |

Yes I said that, but we do not know what games yet since its still a new development, for that reason I did not include the idea of a steam release in my post. Also, XSEED was added on the steam registry late last month and FC was released in North America last March. So still IF XSEED released the PC version instead of the PSP Version last March, you would still need to import until a steam release. IF you decided to wait, then props to you. And remember Falcom games from Ys Seven and on are on PSP, and XSEED does not have programmers, so they can't port them. |

Well some Chinese company is porting Ys Seven and from what I saw, the price of the regular edition, SHIPPING INCLUDED looks affordable for me. I must go now, but when I get back, I'll do the math and tell you exactly the numbers for Ys Seven in particular.

I don't understand why people don't seem to understand why some get pissed because of this. It is kinda difficult to afford seven gaming platforms, it is rather expensive you know. As for PSP, it is handheld. Handhelds are good in three places: WC, bed and somewhere theres no electricity atm. Platform does matter and some games are better/would be better on some platforms than other. Buying all gaming plathforms hurts yourself too. P.S. this is annoying topic atm, I don't like the way this OT goes |
