It'll flop if on PSP, needs to be remade for Vita to sell well. Which is a shame,it was one of the best recent Final Fantasy's I've played. Everything which made 7,8,9 and the rest good, while giving meaningful new elements.

STK0263867d ago

While I would prefer a Vita version, as it would look and play better, the PSP, in the West just like in Japan, has a much bigger install base than the Vita. On one hand, people wouldn't be as interested in buying a PSP game, but on the other hand, SE would have many more potential customers by releasing it on the PSP. I think it would be for the best if they released it on both platforms.

@STK026

I think PSP piracy is a factor and could eat into the legitimate sales.

"Hey, I can pirate this on my PSP.

I'd wait for the PSV to go down in price or even drop it all together." = potentially lost profit

I don't think it's better to risk on something like that.

Probably best way to avoid this is either to have a limited UMD run, no PSP digital and make native up-port of the game for the PSN VITA only and PS VITA physical cart.

Easier if it was a VITA exclusive (better if up-port) as it will also promote the system internationally.

That limited UMD run can still spread to .ISOs all over the net.

I was always surprised by how much people in the west have to beg for localizations.

They should definitely localize it because this game is awesome and everyone deserves a chance to play this.

Blastoise3867d ago

Well...they don't really seem that interested

Capt-FuzzyPants3867d ago

If it does come west I'd prefer a Vita update for dual analog sticks, but I wouldn't be opposed to downloading it off of the PSN and dealing with the one joystick.

N4GCB3867d ago

Uh, any game for the psp that has camera control rigged to whatever buttons wether it be the dpad or l&r buttons can be rigged to your second abalog stick in the psp emulator settings when you hold down the home button and press settings in the top right corner.

King-Prodigy-X3867d ago

So bring it to the PS Vita damn it.

vivid833867d ago

I don't think they care otherwise they would have done it and I was so looking forward to this game aswell

How Final Fantasy’s First M-Rated Game Laid the Foundation for XVI’s Dark Tone

Final Fantasy XVI demonstrates how the franchise has matured since the release of its first M-rated installment, Final Fantasy Type-0.

90°

Type-0 Is The Darkest Final Fantasy Ever Made

DS: “I hate that Type-0 is forgotten among the Final Fantasy games. While not the strongest entry, its mature story makes it stand out from the others. And even though Final Fantasy now has three rated M games — including Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and Final Fantasy XVI, — Type-0 will always have the crown of being the first, and arguably the darkest.”

i agree that it is indeed dark, but it has its issues.

and i feel like the ending is what makes it really a dark final fantasy game.

the rest is more or less war where teenagers fight.

This game was the epitome of the FF dark age pretty much, was hella boring and the gameplay was tedious. I'm glad SE got the series back on track

gold_drake312d ago

well, it was more of a spin off rly.
especially after they dropped the fabula nova crystalis stuff

H9312d ago

I actually really love this game, the main problem however was that the entire story and personality of the characters, was in the lore that you need to dig very deep to find and external materials outside of the game, honestly it has my favorite lore in the franchise, I wish they had made the game more story focused, god it would have been a masterpiece

The Best Final Fantasy Spin-Off Titles Ever Released

Xfire writes "The Final Fantasy franchise is nearly as old as the video game industry itself.

First released way back in 1987, what initially started as a hail mary title has since turned into a media franchise that has spawned more than a dozen mainline titles and been featured in other forms of media, making hundreds of millions of dollars along the way.

But while the mainline titles get all of the attention -- all eyes are currently on Final Fantasy 16 -- the franchise also has a handful of spin-off titles that are just as good as the mainline titles."

I enjoyed World of Final Fantasy and I love Crisis Core

SDuck1150d ago

Do you even know what a spinoff is?

FallenAngel19841150d ago

Do you? if you even have to ask that

FallenAngel19841150d ago (Edited 1150d ago )

@ cool

It’s more than just having characters. KH uses various gameplay mechanics, themes, terminology, & aesthetics from FF.

It just happens to be a spin-off that’s also a crossover, similar to fellow spin-off crossover titles such as Pokémon Conquest, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle, & Warriors All Stars

coolfool1150d ago

Does including characters from a game make it a spin off? If so, is Smash Bros a spinoff of Metal Gear Solid? 😕

Nerdmaster1150d ago (Edited 1150d ago )

I would put Bravely Default as the best Final Fantasy spin off, even though it doesn't carry the Final Fantasy name (although the japanese version does have the subtitle Flying Fairy so it could carry the FF acronym).

About the games in the list, I like Dissidia 012 a lot, but my favorite is Theatrhythm. I still turn on my old 3DS from time to time to play a few songs.
I wish it had some remixed or orchestrated versions of the old songs, though. NES/SNES songs are nostalgic, but when played by an orchestra they're taken to another level. Strange that some people complained that Theatrhythm Dragon Quest did exactly that... I guess nostalgia does speak loudly.
