By all reports, FF15 didn't have much until Tabata took over so it wasn't really a money pit outside of a few cg trailers.

Endorph posted:FF14 is an mmo based on a hugely popular brand. Remaking it was not only a good will gesture, but it allowed them to A) reuse a lot of things they'd already made and B) will make them tons of money in the long run. 14 also has really good localization work. Like way better than I'd expect from an MMO. They must've run the numbers and determined the expected bank was huge.

I heard it's because they let the English division work on the script first, because Asian players don't give a poo poo about dialogue. EDIT: The head of English localization is the setting writer and the English team creates content that's then localized back into Japanese apparently.

This isn't quite true, but the English localization lead is actively involved in the entire process from beginning to end, and does personally write some of the words which then get translated back into Japanese.

al-azad posted:Gaijinworks did the same for Class of Heroes so it's a working model and I'm surprised it hasn't been more common. Class of Heroes? I have that game on my PSP, charming little dungeon crawler. I just wish someone could localize the other games in the series. I think last time I checked they were already up to Class of Heroes 4 in Japan. We're in the West are all stuck with the first part.

I thought the Class of Heroes series was Vireland's latest crazy project he's willing to sink a company for. 2 did well enough that they did the PS3 remake and are advertising the third PSP game.

That's great news! For some reason I thought everyone in the West had just forgotten about Class of Heroes. I've put the CoH2-Remake down on my budget for fun purchases next month.

To be fair, it still is pretty Kingdom Hearts, however, a lot of people suspect the "playable build" shown prior to Tabata's work was mostly prototype, or possibly prerendered entirely.

Dackel posted:What's bad about the Class of Heroes series? And what alternatives can you recommend on PC or Handheld? The Class of Heroes series is just kind of boring low-quality dungeon crawlers. If you're looking for alternatives, Etrian Odyssey on the DS/3DS is usually considered the right blend of accessible and well-made.

Kingdom Hearts is a very agile character action game that's all about mobility and spamming abilities. Unless I missed some new update in 2.0, FF15 is not that and more like combo-oriented Dragon Age Inquisition.

Class of Heroes was Might & Magic to Etrian Odyssey's Wizardry and just like the early M&M games they went for a kitchen sink approach that's not at all balanced. I think Class of Heroes is for anyone who likes exploring every single avenue of character creation and as new things trickle out the optimal party layout changes.

Panic! at Nabisco posted:Probably half of the Vita's library is anime tiddy dungeon crawlers with better gameplay than Class of Heroes The early Wizardry-parts, you mean. For some reason Japan copied the earlier games. Which I consider incredibly boring. (I've started with Wizardry 8 and could never stand the older parts. Kind of weird how this nostalgia-thing works, considering I never had any problems with the older Might and Magic games. They're neat.)

Might and Magic is simply more accessible and less  than Wizardry. I love basically every M&M game from 3 on (and I even love 2 in a kind of stupid way). I even played through IX (although I couldn't stomach it when I tried playing it a year or two ago). I've only ever played Wizardry 1 (the NES version at that) 7&8. I managed to beat 8, which while being the least brutal in the series took me 3 separate attempts over about 10 years. 7 seemed like it should have been right up my alley, but I just hit a wall and got frustrated and gave up on it.

Atlus US said they changed new game+ for Legend of Legacyquote:So here’s the deal about the adjustments we made in bringing the game to the west. By and large, they mostly affect NG+. I'm not sure what the game is beyond being made by a bunch of ex-saga guys. Is it a rogue-like or something?

Cross-posting from the Steam thread but if you pre-order Tales of Zestiria on Steam right now you will get a free copy of Tales of Symphonia when it comes out on Steam next year. This offer has always been talked about but before it was still needing a bunch of pre-orders to unlock, now it is unlocked and any and all pre-orders are eligible for the free Symphonia.

Yeah, all of NISA's collection releases are just the base, least upgraded versions of those games on PS3. They're a good bargain if you're late to the party, but you might be better off waiting for sales and just buying complete/updated versions.

It already starts feeling kind of annoying by the end of the demo, sadly. Not grinding so much as just too many pointless junk encounters getting in your way constantly. Seems like they tried to make a SaGa game but forgot about the good lessons learned along the way with that series.

I deleted the demo pretty quickly when I realized the enemy icons on the field don't represent the type of enemies you encounter. I kept getting wiped out by a group of dragonflies.
