Not to go off topic, but they can't sell Wolfenstein in Germany? What part of killing nazis do they find offensive?
I bet Germany has Hitler's DNA in a magical tube somewhere in the capital city. Waiting for the right time ro revive him and start WW3 AHHH!!!!
Can't have Wolfenstein bringing in bad vibes then can they!
j/k lol

Did you give them a ring about it?
I'm sure if you pulled the "I payed for this shit" card and shout angrily at them for a while they'll give in.
I sent an email to the support center lol Hope that works but I seriously doubt it.
I just don't get why they don't unify the stores. Like when you access the PSN store you could get a short list of all the stores, and check out them all.
If a Japanese guy who is working in Europe wants his Japanese game, why shouldn't he be able to get it? It makes no sense to me. As long as he have his VISA or Mastercard everything should work.

I said ALMOST everything
and its mostly rock. Like your softer mixes get a little poppier, but they tend to still be rockish. Even that Nights Preview track. Its pop, but its got that rock vibe IMO. (I compared it to Rush didn't I?)
Shameless self-promotion?
A little lol Well he asked for Metal ReMixes, we got a lot of them so
there you go -

Ok, some months ago, I started buying PSOne classics, and I have access to the stinky European PSN store, that is selling all the PAL versions of all games. And for those who know the difference between PAL and NTSC knows that PAL sucks 100%, everything is in slow-mo, the colors are not as good etc.
So I got a US PSN store and I bought FF VIII. Everything worked perfectly.
My VISA card connected with no problems.
Now, months later I've gotten a new VISA card because my old one expired, and today I connected it to the US store, but I can't buy anything now!?!? Because of an update they did, new user agreements must be the reason. I can't even download the FREE stuff. Not even a Wallpaper!
And I live in China right now (I've been living here for a year), so most of my PS3 games are Hong Kong versions, like Assassins Creed 2.. I bought the expansions from the Hong Kong PSN store. Everything worked perfectly at that time, now: Nope.. can't even connect my VISA card.. So what is going on here people?! This may sound very wrong but here I go:
THEY ARE ASKING FOR PIRACY!
Because clearly, they don't want to earn money.

I take this ReMix album as sort of a statement.
I can 100% understand that people may not like this, and I am not a huge fan of it myself, but I think using primitive midi sounds can be a personal preference to some.
Like the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, it has tons of samples that most would say YUK! to today, but I think those samples were what inspired the tunes to come out. And I think the Advent children remix tracks that are in the CGI movie barely brings any of the charm and attitude of the original midi tracks.
A lot of the past FF tracks would not sound as special or nostalgic if orchestrated, that's my thought at least.

Why hate on Sony? Don't try to play NTSC games on a PAL TV, it's not going to work.
Well, again I don't think that's the case.. must be a very low percentage rate. Because I have a PAL TV in Norway that runs any game on the PS3 (PAL, NTSC US and NTSC JAP). It's not even SDTV, it's the most standard TV you can get. And now I'm in China, used this old crappy TV for a long time, worked fine, then I bought a HDTV.
I guess the only ones that notice this problem are people with SDTV's of certain types.

EDIT: Sorry, should have mentioned I meant PAL region too.
MAN does that suck!! Ridiculous! Let's take a moment and hate on Sony lol
-
No, Namco are not getting my money this time. They took WAAAAAAY too long to just announce that they had no plans to bring it to the US and then after a ridiculously long time now they saying they are?
And here in Europe we've been shafted when it comes to Tales games over and over again. I'm just not bothering any more.
For HDTV users, yes. Some of us are too poor to make that jump yet. SDTV users are out of luck.
SDTV users are out of luck? How so? Doesn't matter what TV you have, plug in the PS3 into any TV and play any game from any part of the world. No difference.

To be honest, I'm just really tired of all these overdramatic JRPGs that often fill every cliche in the book. Star Ocean 4, Last Remnant, White Knight Chronicles and Infinite Undiscovery to name just a few. I feel they all have lame voice actors and generic plots and although it's hard to tell as it's in Japanese, I have a strong feeling The Last Story will fit right in with those examples, even if the gameplay looks pretty cool it's the story that makes or breaks a JRPG, which is a real shame.
The last truly good JRPG I played was Persona 4. Whilst graphically inferior to the examples I mentioned, it has so much more personality, originality and plays superbly to boot.
Agree with most of the titles you mentioned, but SO4 isn't all cliche. The characters may be unlikable to many, but they're not all cliche. And I don't think going to planet Earth of the past and ending up blowing it up before returning to the future is cliche. Tons of unique stuff in SO4..
And the way the main character becomes 'EMO' to most people, he became extremely rich and interesting to me.
PS: Not to pick a fight, but I pull my hair playing Persona, I've given Persona 3 a shot.. and I can't stand the whole school concept.. makes me sick to my gut.
-
Game looks pretty cool, but I hate the title -- sounds like a deliberate parody of Final Fantasy.
If it actually were a parody, it would be pretty funny, but to make a serious game and give it a title which is simply a paraphrasal of the name of another series seems pretty weak.
I know, the title could have been a lot better lol But I guess he is trying to tell the people that don't know who he is, that he was the creator of Final Fantasy lol Who knows.. maybe for nostalgia reasons, to create anticipation.
But the game looks awesome, has a serious feel to it, looks like it'll have unique game-play mixing action elements into a action battle system. This will be bought on its release day IF it get's a US localization
-
Bump.. added a trailer link to my opening post.
-
Yeah. That Norway thing kinda blew my mind. 100 bucks?! Most new games in Japan start between 60 or 70. FF13 was over 100 though. But I pre-ordered an American copy for like 40.
I also agree with the people who said that MS should release the Tales of Vesperia extras as add-ons. Even though I totally support PS3 in the battle of the consoles, it's just not fair to XBOX users.
Indeed, with the extra costumes, Flynn and Patty as playable characters, and a bunch of skits + some scenes etc. how big would the down-loadable file be? 7-800mb tops?
-
Fair enough. Like I said before, it's just a convenience thing, if worst comes to worst, I'll just order a US copy.
... This is by far one of the most interesting conversations I've have on this site, kudos to you!
Hey! My pleasure!
-
Yep. Besides, I usually find that I get stuff cheaper from the UK anyways and whatever I order gets here sooner, so it's more just for convenience really.
Uh huh... And we Aussies get shafted harder than our European counterparts. We're more or less like a gaming ghetto.
Well, in Norway new games in general cost around 100 bucks.
From good UK stores the price is around 67 bucks (40 pounds), often with free shipping.
From ebay stores in the US the price is around 70 bucks included shipping from personal experience.. so I don't see much point.
-
It'd be cheaper for me to import from the UK than the US, that's the point.
How much cheaper?
The ten bucks in shipping? lol -
AHH!! the nr.1: Shadow hearts 2.. the revival attempt of Alice. holy crap, best emotional scene I've ever seen.
-
Valkyria Chronicles when SPOILER died. Quite a few places throughout that game actually.
-
This is good, now it needs to come to Europe so I can import from the UK... (But I'm hoping it comes to Australia too...)
With ebay and various other sources to easily import from, I don't see the point in a European release.. especially since PS3 is region free.
-
FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! I had lost all hope.. this is the best news in a looooooooooong time.. BEST news.. PS3 kicks ass!
-
Cole wasn't exactly a good character. But that's not what made inFAMOUS great. It was the gameplay that made all the difference.
I thought Cole was a good character, far from classic, but he was certainly good. Now he is a dofus lol
-
Cole has been totally transformed.. I think this change is extreeemely amateurish. In the first game he was cool, looked mature, had a deep voice that had a great impact on the overall touch of the game. His monologues were cool and felt unique. All that has been changed to this stupid guy with a TOTALLY new face, the voice has gone back to puberty and his dialogue sounds hip and stupid. This promises to be the worst sequel in video game history. Nothing holds ground! Is this made by the same people?!?!
The game-play looks cool.. same as the first game but with a weapon, if Cole was Cole I'd be psyched, but this is just ridiculous.
-
All tracks aren't good.. Have to disagree there
BUT there are some greeat tracks here and I am sold. I'll surely do one of the main theme and mix in a couple of other tracks. Consider that done -
over my dead body
anyone who techno's this fine music will be slain
Hahaha! Agreed.. Well said my man!
Tales of Translations Overview
in General Discussion
Posted
Thought I'd make a quick summary of the translation projects going on behind the scenes for various promising Tales games that didn't make it across the globe:
Tales of Graces
Got a neat progress bar on the right side of the page, they're sure coming along! AND they use the Riivolution patch system that requires the original disc to work, which is great!
Tales of Hearts
They already have a demo patch out, can't wait for this one.
Tales of Innocence & Phantasia
These two are finished and ready to be experienced, get it!
Tales of Phantasia lol
The Translators Razzie award goes to! Nah, they are doing a good but very slow job for a game we already got a translation for.
