I didn't mention quality anywhere in my post? I was just trying to remember how it preformed.

I mean regardless of how good or bad it is I was never gonna buy this game from the start since the it focuses on too many things I hate in modern JRPGs.

This is the weakest attempt at a thread poo poo I have seen in a long time. :cmon:

Literally all I did was ask how the game sold. When someone tried to imply I was disparaging the game's quality, I said I had no interest in playing it for completely personal reasons. Calm the gently caress down.

And I am saying if you thought the game looked bad and you were going to disparage it, like, say, point out bad sales figures, you should fuckin own it. Go full goon!

Ok, lesson learned, when the game tells me not to mess with Savage Enemies, I should not, in fact, mess with Savage Enemies.

They bumped my shipping so I canceled and reserved a copy at GameStop. I didn't want to wait until Tuesday

1) it's got a cool alt. history world war 1 setting

2) yuri is a fun protag

3) it's got a neat combat system based around timed hits

4) the second game is a very nuanced exploration of the pain of losing someone you love, that also has a party member who hits people with mailboxes

Keep in mind that it probably won't ever get rereleased due to reasons, so you'll have to track down ps2 discs or emulate.

Oh well then it sold poorly in Japan so it'll probably have a niche following.

Who knows how it'll do over here.

I'm sold on shadow hearts.

Also, Japan doesn't buy console games anymore, and their network is way better than the US', so I have to imagine digital sales make up a larger chunk of salsa.

The only important number is the studio making its budget back, and it will probably reach that already.

im glad of it.

if you want a really janky 6 hour horror-rpg, check out koudelka too. it's by the same devs and it's got some plot ties to shadow hearts, and they hired a bunch of random american theater guys and had them adlib a lot of their lines and pantomine out the scenes. it leads to pretty good VAing.

I ordered this game awhile ago since the Japanese version got good buzz and I love Atlus RPGs. I'm surprised how good the reviews for this game have been, though.

I forget exactly, maybe about 13 gigabytes? My external hard drive died a while ago so I had to delete Bayo 2 to download it.
Edit: It takes up 12 GB of hard drive space.

Man that outfit is some 4kids level of garbage. Really hate how they sidestepped the gravure stuff. I don't think the Japanese version handles it super well, but at least it's head on. I just don't understand these decisions once you've aged up the characters. I get that panty shots are not something NOA wants probably, but everything else just seems nonsensical.

To be honest some of the changes are kind of silly and I don't really get why they were made. Like the wedding dress with chrome paint, random shadows because "oh no this weird monster thing has boobs" and apparently one NPC is entirely removed from a scene because a guy is standing over her and wouldn't wanna imply anything?

I'm still getting the game and whatnot but I never understood why people want to instantly dismiss anyone unhappy about any of the changes v:shobon:v

because alot of people unhappy about the changes go about it in an abrasive way that makes it easy to instantly dismiss them if you don't already agree with them

it's like how there's some genuine flaws in the fe:fates translation but those got drowned out by vocal complaining about incredibly minor poo poo like removing bikinis or a face-groping minigame

They're kinda like large Shadows in the Persona games. They're enemies from a higher dungeon level than you're currently on, as well as being several levels higher than they normally are, plus you can't knock them down on the field.

Which hey is fine, I just think if someone goes "Man they sure are giving this the 4kids treatment" then that's also fine because let's be real, they totally are.

unless they started replacing guns with water guns or toy hammers and skipped multiple story arcs i don't think #fe is getting anywhere near a 4kids treatment

They're apparently trimming parts out of some stories/altering things so... they kind of are in a way :v:

I hope we have lollipops and water guns though.

Per Nintendo Life:

quote:

Recent hands-on sessions with Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE at PAX East have confirmed previous reports that the game will be subject to a series of changes for western markets.

The first is an age bump for some of the characters - Tsubasa, Itsuki and Touma - taking them up from 17 to 18 years of age. There are also changes to costumes, with some of the female characters wearing less revealing clothing.

Elsewhere, a dungeon which features portraits of female characters in bikinis has been altered - the characters are now fully-clothed.

Finally, it is being reported that the Hot Springs DLC - which allows characters to dress up in swimwear - will not be released in the west. We don't have official confirmation on this as yet and have asked Nintendo and Atlus for clarification.

So it looks like only some aesthetic stuff is being changed.
