Well, it took long enough, but Square-Enix will finally deliver this solid RPG to PS3 fans early next year.
Star Ocean: The Last Hope International will be here on February 9 and with so many action games on tap for Q1 2010, this should be a breath of fresh air for RPG fans.
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
I'm not gonna buy a year old port of a game, that only has minor content upgrade. I've been spoiled by the SIGMA treatment, and if a publisher is not making an effort and plans to sell it as new, I say keep your SORRY A$$ game and don't even bother. I sure as HELL am not going to contribute to what's constitute as a blatant and lazy MONEY-GRAB!
You choose to go the Timed-Exclusive route, then you better offer us something MEANINGFUL in return. I mean, I like the inclusion of japanese voice-overs but 2d-3d avatars, really? Is that's the best SE can do for long-time fans of the franchise? FVCK THEM!
PS3 version is going to out sell 360 version in one day LOL
well yeh you only have to look at tov ps3 sales to know that lol
still i am not getting this half-done jrpg, sorry s-e you better had found that magic again with ffxiii or else i am never buying any of your products ever again.
I bought, 'star ocean: till the end of time' yesterday. I'd never played a star ocean game before and i'm really enjoying it so far. Hopefully i can have it finished by february cause i plan on getting this game. I really enjoy the space theme.
