Your responses to the ridiculous flaming nonsense here are solid gold. I want a piece that is just a huge collection of them in one easy-to-parse article.

Problem is, it'd probably take a lot longer for them to make this Persona-themed Etrian Odyssey game on Vita, since there's not been any other EO games on the Vita. Here they can just use a modified version of the EO4 engine, and are used to working on the platform.

Tobias Funke, the hipster bandit?!

Come on, Timenicebutdim said video games, let's get some RPG representation too.

"..." Crono (Chrono Trigger)
"..." Link (The Legend of Zelda)
"..." Isaac (Golden Sun)

That was actually the Special Effects team putting "SFX" as a signature in the sky, but one stray star makes it look a little like another word that people were much happier to see...

The Japanese have a sound that is halfway between the L and the R (and includes a bit of D as well), so when they just say that sound instead of L or R, they sound like they're saying the wrong one to us.

But the Chinese do not have this issue so much, really. Their R sound can be quite different (almost a soft J at…

That sucks! There's always SMT4, I guess.

I would assume it would be more similar to the last first person portable SMT game that resembled the EO series - Strange Journey. I expect the maps will draw themselves as long as you walk on the tile to be mapped, but given the battle system I wouldn't be surprised if it were still first person.

Also: the latest EO,…

Your confusion with Sega is understandable given the visual style, but here's what solves it: This is being made by a break-off from the Etrian Odyssey team (the director is the guy who directed EO4, for instance). The in-battle gameplay we see in the trailer is the same (right down to the 5-man party size), and the…

I went for 'typically' rather than 'always' for a reason, and you just pointed that reason out. Poor old GC.

Nintendo typically makes sure they have one great game to launch with each console - it's likely that they time the console release for when that first game is finished. 3rd party companies do not have the luxury of delaying a console launch to get their great game out.

Came here to say exactly this. Such things are endless sources of amusement. I still remember my 1MB external hard drive making me feel like I had infinite space...

This sounds like a wackier, more fantastical attempt at GameCenter CX's DS title. That thing was incredibly good (and what a localisation!), and meta as balls.

Despite it obviously being marketing spiel, he's not far off on his assessment of Indies on the Vita. Ever since getting a Vita, every time I see a new trailer for something Indie (like, Risk of Rain or something) I immediately check to see if there's going to be a Vita version. I haven't touched Indie games on Steam…

With Magi it tends to be either travelling adventures OR "do[ing] something", so enjoy the former while you can! I mean, stuff is always happening even on a large scale within the smaller adventures, but it's mostly smaller stuff that ends up adding into the finale, as with last season, or adding into the ongoing…

Has it? I've been playing and enjoying Ragnarok Odyssey Ace, does that not count?

Mahjong Solitaire is a game that is basically impossible to play in real life with very much success (setting up those patterns so they're even slightly likely to be solvable, etc).

Mahjong is a poker-like gambling game played in East Asia that typically requires 4 people to play.

Given episodes like Simon & Marcy, and the whole premise of the show, that would be LESS terrible than what we assume to be true now. That show is tragic enough :(

Was it the console ban that prevented previous versions of Pokemon being localised? I thought it would have been the state censors or else the lack of interest by Nintendo in paying for, or licensing, such a large localisation - given that modified, region-locked versions of the DS and GBA both saw release in China…

That first Bioshock trailer at X06 was pretty much the best game trailer of all time.
