I’m not sure what that expectation was based on though? The original working title?

I’m actually pretty excited for the game, as I do love FE as well as SMT and Persona. It is most certainly not what I expected back when the game was announced, but to be honest, I had no clue how they could possibly fuse the gameplay of SMT and FE, so my expectations were of a rather vague nature anyways. Looking at…

I only played the digital version of ‘X’, and while loading times are always annoying, I didn’t find them particularly aggravating in any way. No clue about the physical version (+ data packs) though, but I did read somewhere that it was suggested to get the digital version of GIR#FE, precisely because it as well cut…

Is it just me, or does the title picture basically demand a Dresden File joke? It’s a robotic T-Rex and not a reanimited one, sure, but still ...

Yeah, I mean seriously, this is most likely Yoshiki Tanaka’s most important work after The Legend of Galactic Heroes, one of the best animes I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching - and actually finishing, including prequels and movies.

The licensing issues for a game like FH must be nothing short of hell, and the inner most circles at that. I would not hold my breath for X1 BWC. It is possible, but to me, it seems unlikely. Anyways, I jus got a used 360 for like $25 and FH digitally for like $6, so - to me - being able to play the game is not the…

I’m not sure I really liked any of the FE games for their story tbh. PoR/RD had the best presentation obviously, so that was a compelling aspect, and overall the story was interesting enough to keep reading/watching, but not that much more either.

Seriously, what happend to the fog? It was not “just” a technical limitation ... jesus =/ By the same logic, you could remake RE with a dynamic camera and wonder why it would not have the same impact. Those technical limitations started out as such, but ended up being clever ploys to increase the tension and…

The sad part is, I think Nintendo has yet to realize that people outside of Japan take note of releases inside of Japan. I honestly doubt they even realize Americans take note of European e-shop releases, and vice versa. It’s the only way I can explain the current state of affairs ... they are ignorant, utterly…

Wait, so you play games from last week? Oo Have some respect for yourself man!

Well written article, and I think the point about communication - or lack thereof - is really well taken. I’ve been saying basically the same thing for some time now. Nintendo needs a much more direct and encompassing approach when it comes to communicating issues like this kind of localization-realted changes. But…

2015 was not particularly impressive, that much is true, but the overall library is so strong already, and 2016 looks to be adding several huge hits to it ... so that I would indeed argue that the state of the 3DS is rather strong. With FE:Fates and SMT:IV Final, I know Nintendo/Atlus has me covered for 2016! ^^

My Vita menu looks almost exactly like on that screenie. I got all kind of PSX and PSP RPGs on the system, two of my favourites are the utterly obscure Yggdra Union and Knights in the Nightmare.

I was wondering the same thing ...

“Destiny scholars” ... All of this sound very Ready Player One Oo

As far as training goes, this is probably better than nothing - in fact I’m doing a similar thing right now, meaning I’m playing Forza this way, as to not to get out of the habit to use a clutch + shifter - but, and it’s a big but, the thing about driving stick is not really the stick, but the clutch. You could…

I remember playing the browser-based demo for 999 ... it got me totally hooked, and was one of the few demos I ever played, that made me count the days until I could get my hands on the full game! ZE3 is amazing news, and with Danganronpa 3 in development as well, it’s safe to say that visual novels are here to stay,…

One of my favourite animes in recent memory. I wish both movies would come west, I’d definitely be interested in getting them on Blu-ray!

I love how you put in GIR#FE at the end, since that was one of my last & lasting impressions of this E3 week: Nintendo Treehouse finally showing SMTxFE for real, albeit as GIR#FE, and it looks amazing & it’s coming to the WiiU, in the west, in 2016. The WiiU might be terminally ill, but it’s bucket list looks great…

Why would you be embarrased about that? The game looks to be very competent, even without it, so it’s just a bonus. As far as boni go, it offers something very nice to look at, which is as mundane as entertainment gets. If basically everyone likes to look at a beautiful woman in a ‘titillating’ costume, then there…
