“Project Phoenix” Emerges from the Ashes of Other JRPGs on Kickstarter

OnlySP - "Project Phoenix has officially launched via Kickstarter, and all my hours of hitting refresh on the website and twitter has finally paid off because this announcement does not disappoint. This sprawling JRPG is brought to us by some of the most important developers, programmers, writers, and composers to ever grace Japanese Role Playing games."

PC only? I thought this was for PS4 and Vita. I'm sad now. :(

They are 90% certain it will be on PS4 and Vita but they are still doing the certification with Sony.

PS4 version will come later.

I may be sunk with disagrees, but the kickstarter page has taken a lot of my hype for it.

since I still love and play Snes and PS1 JRPGs then I don't care because graphic wise I'm not expecting high production values. The important thing is that the game's good, and it has the potential of being good due to the fact of the people behind the project.

My problem is not in graphics, my problem is with the attitude and the ideas behind it: it's not an indie game, it's a self-published game; an indie game works in a very different pattern. They present themselves as "the salvation against a dead genre" that it's nowhere near dead, and present a project that's not revolutionary or really object of praise, at least at first look. I won't doubt the quality of it, and it may even be a masterpiece, but to me it looks as Peter Molyneux has written the kickstarter page. And the "to-be-revealed" people and studios is BS to my eyes: if you are commited to the project, you should be on first page from day one.
There's too much on the shadows for me to get hyped for the game, and that's even without thinking about individual people in the team, which may get some mean opinions from myself. But that's not fair, and I should judge them on their finished product.

They said PS4 and Vita may be in the future but they were focusing on PC presently.

Japanese Game Developers Kickstarter Struggles

Kickstarter backers can be a negative bunch, but it seems they reserve most of their piss and vinegar for Japanese developers. Why is that?

Breaking Down Project Phoenix's Million Dollar Budget Blunder

Joanna Mueller writes: "In the end, CIA's increased scope only served to drive backers further away. Players were not impressed when the team finally released a vertical cut of the new 3D gameworld. CIA was reluctant to start over after investing so much money into their 3D models."

I feel bad for anyone that backed this project. What a mess
