Not a chance. Not heard of Compile Heart but Red Entertainment is famous for Thousand Arms, Sakura Taisen series (with Sega) - both big playstation all-ages renai games which never got an ero port.

Any DDL for this movie on any official sites or something? It's just a promo movie so it shouldn't be that big.

If you really really want to play it, there is nothing to stop you. Like www.gamefaqs.com have great translation guides for japanese console games. You don't even have to be able to read moonspeak. I'm sure by the time the game come out, there will be people start working on the guide. Also it's a strategy game, once you grasp the game system, it will be smooth rolling after that.

This is true. But obviously, playing the game in a language you know/speak is still very better. I will import it only when I'll know for sure the game will not be available in US/Europe.

By the way, due to the lack of JRPGs or strategy JRPGs on both X360 and PS3, I sincerely think this game will be translated. This way, Sony would have at least 1 JRPG available for US costumers that's not a multiplatform game (Enchanted Arms). People cannot wait ages for FFXIIIs or White Knight Story, you know. They have to be offered something in the wait.

it's not true that 360 have a lack of jrpg,by the end of the year it will have 4 great jrpg(eternal sonata,blue dragon,lost odyssey and enchanted arms)btw sakura taisen is not a text adventure but a strategic game with romance sim elements(like tokimemo)

4 jrpgs in 2 years. And you say this is not a lack of JRPGs? You must be joking. Up until now, only 2 games are available. And when X360 will have 4 games, the PS2 will have too, with Agarest, Disagea 3, Tears to Tiara and Enchanted Arms.

I know it's a remake, but it still is a h game without h scenes. It's like a ction movie without action cutscenes. Why should you play something like this? Play the original version. Im'a PS3 supporter and a JRPG fan, but that is the only JRPG for PS3 I won't definitely buy. I'll probably but all other, but no TTT for me.

Actually, I found the PC version of TTT to be a JRPG with H. Here was an epic storyline with great storytelling and seiyuu performances all around (as to be expected from the people who gave us Utawarerumono). And the part that made it weird was all the awkward sex with lolis thrown in. Sure...there were one or two cool love scenes eg with the main heroine and maybe the blonde, but I think the game could have stood very well on it's own without em. And this re-make has SO much new content. I'm seriously looking forward to it.
>> Anonymous
>>190859
That, I don't know. I only have the CG Set. But you're probably right, if they're the same guys who did Utawarerumono.
The problem is that there's the possibility that Agarest Senki will be translated (almost every Idea Factory game has been translated), but I really don't think this will apply to TTT. The fact it originally was an H game should be enough for SCEA to don't even think about translating it... and it will not matter if the game was good or bad, sadly.

Ah, for everyone who was wondering about TTT, you can find pics, wallpapers and such on the official site of the PC version. The PS3 site is still to be opened. Here's the link:

there was knights of xantar as well, did i spell that right? that was an RPG.

mm and well princess maker 2 had advetures she could go on which has an RPG like nature.

Castle fantasia 2 has a fan transelation that's pretty decent and it's a TRPG.

But yeah brave soul i'd say is the best i've come accross, i actually enjoy it more as an old school RPG then a H game. The 100 level dungeon reminded me of arc the lad o.O thank god they didn't have a 1000 fight battle. Yes i actually DID fight the guy over and over 1000 times in ATL >.<
>> Anonymous
of cource while we're on the subject of PC RPGs.. there's always old school RPGs from the super nes that was ripped, fan transelated and can be emulated on the PC.

such as: secret of mana, tales of phantasia, star ocean 1, front mission 1, tales of ruda, terranigma, and if you want something that spans two generations there's fire emblem 4. The second half of the game follows the children of the characters from the first half, you get to decide who end up together through a sort of relationship system that is pretty common in FE games. As a warning it's a TRPG and the maps are HUGE.

I'm getting worried since Compile Heart is the one publishing it... I've never heard of them. I'd be more comfortable if it were Idea Factory! (They're a branch of NIS, right?) publishing... As long as they don't pull a Generation of Chaos (PSP) on us...

Should we have hopes of that game coming to the west (hopefully Mist of Chaos too)... Or we should just start learning moonspeak to import it?

We can't know if this game will arrive to US and/or Europe yet.
But we do know something. PS3 has no JRPG up until now in the US. I don't even consider Enchanted Arms as a game, because it sucks. More, it's also available on 360.
So, according me, Sony HAS TO translate this game, so that JRPG fans don't start looking on 360, now that it has Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata. Sony always had JRPGs, and Microsoft never had. A changing turn of the wheel may be lethal for Sony, and they surely know that.

(Idea Factory has nothing to do with NIS. NISAmerica it's just the distributor of their games in the US, like Koei is for Europe)

To Counter-point the fact that the 360 has more JRPGs right now: they're kids' games.

Blue Dragon is nowhere near as long and sophisticated as DQ8. And if you think Eternal Sonata is awesome... well you haven't really kept up on youtube and such lately.

All this is moot is you really want MOE characters though, then there's no stopping you.

Hell no. The ST series was born and died on the Sega Dreamcast. End of Story. Whatever they made afterwards was not done with Red Entertainment, or were just ports of the first 4.

>>191724I'd be more comfortable if it were Idea Factory! (They're a branch of NIS, right?)

Compile Heart are just the people fronting the money for the game. Like how Namco is fronting the money for tri-Crescendo to make Eternal Sonata.

>>191856
Without getting into list wars... the 360 has a ton more JRPGs than the PS3 at this moment and for the next year. Period. And if you like Argarest for the art, there is a 360 game called 'Absolute Blazing Infinity' that is done by the same character designer.

Besides, the 360 has Idolm@ster, and that automatically wins and satisfies any Japanese moe animu fan.

>>191932
Idea factory games always have the same character design.
And, if for JRPGs on 360 you're talking about totles like Blue Dragon or Operation Darkness, I couldn't care less.
>> Anonymous
All right, let's list all X360 and PS3 games.

X360 & PS3
Enchanted Arms
The Last Remanant

X360
Absolute Blazing Infinity
Blue Dragon
Cry On
Culdcept Saga
Eternal Sonata (possibly going multiplatform)
Infinite Undiscovery
Lost Odyssey
Operation Darkness

PS3
Agarest Senki
Disgaea 3
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Senjou no Valkyria
Tears to Tiara
White Knight Story

So, I guess that's all.
X360 has 8 games, while PS3 has 7.
Eternal Sonata package lack the "Only on X360" sign, so this means there's the possibility it will be available on PS3, too. That would make a total draw, with 7 exclusive games for both systems.
If we consider that Culdcept Saga is no real RPG, we have a draw already.

After that, I'd like to say that JRPGs take looong time to be developed, and that it would be pretty normal if PS3 has less RPGs than 360. The fact is that they've about the same amount of JRPGs.
I actually possess a 360 but no PS3, and this really makes me worry. In a few months, PS3 JRPGs number raised, and we can assume it will keep going up and easily surpass X360's in 2008.

Operation Darkness is a SRPG, I know. But I like JRPGs with a fantasy/sci-fi/modern setting, not games in which I take control of an army to fight another army in a worldwide war setting. This is sooo much FPS-gamers aimed.

>>192055
You must be kidding.
Star Ocean 4 on 360? No one knows the platform yet.
DOA Code Cronus it is possible to have RPG elements, but Itagaki didn't say how the game will be. So we can't assume it is a JRPG.
An Untitled Nippon Ichi Game? just because NIS bought the rights to do games for 360 this won't mean
a) they will really make games for 360,
b) they will be JRPG. NIS also develop other kind of games. Check their japanese site. You can't list games that do not exist at the present time.
Mabinogi, up until now, is a PC-only MMORPG. Maybe in the future, but for now no 360 release.

All the other games (4 I think), are JRPGs I forgot to mention. All of them are Idea Factory games, but Ziria.

About Operation Darkness, this is obviously a personal matter. I don't pretend that people thinks the same way I think.
I just don't like this type of setting. I don't care if I'll fight against vampire soldiers and such, because I don't like the "modern army" and the "worldwide war" setting.
I SINCERELY love JRPGs (95% of games I buy are JRPGs), so if this game will sell like crazy, I'll be totally happy. More JRPGs are appreciated, more they will be produced, and thus, more time I'll be able to spend with my fav videogame genre in the future. But since I cannot play every JRPG on the market, I choose the ones I like most. And OD is not one of them.

When talking about Nippon Ichi, the possibility that they'll develop a ADV for 360 is consistent as a JRPG, because both genres sell well in Japan, and it's clear that Microsoft wants to enlarge its fanbase in Japan. In the west Microsoft is quite appreciated already.
More, we don't know what game NIS'll develop but we also don't know if they'll ever develop anything. This is not 100% sure.
To make an example, Tecmo bought the PS3 toolkits just to create a remake of a Xbox game. Nice for non-Microsoft system owners, totally uninteresting for those who already played Ninja Gaiden (like I did). When I first heard that, I was sure DOA would have come to PS3. It didn't happen. So, it's better not to assume anything until we know something.

I didn't know Mabinogi was for 360, too. This must be a really recent news. Or maybe no. I don't care for MMORPGs, so I'm not much informed about them. Sorry for that. My bad.

(Field too long, so I'm continuing my previous post)

Lastly, maybe you think I'm a Sony fanboy and I hit hard my head on the table every time a promising game is announced for X360. This is not true. I have a 360, and I'll have to buy a PS3 in the future because I want to play some of the games that will developed exclusively for that system. If all games were on a single system, I'd be lot happier. And since I own a 360, I'd be happy to have them all on my console. I wouldn't have to spend 600 USD for another system. But this is not what it is. So, I'll buy almost every system and enjoy playing with all games I like, spending all money I have as usual. And it would be absurd to say "Ah, 360 sucks!" when I spent 500 bucks I earned with months of part-time to jobs to buy one.
>> Anonymous
The thing is with the 360 and PS3 games, they are really expensive! With all the anounced, chance are I'm just probably gona buy around 3 to 5 games for each system. Making sure they are titles that really worth the money because they burn hole in my wallet. And I hate games that are remakes of the old system. Stop milking Oblivion damnit, let it stay in previous system.

>>192078More, we don't know what game NIS'll develop but we also don't know if they'll ever develop anything. This is not 100% sure.
Honestly, I would prefer that they made an ADV for the 360 over a JRPG. But consider, why would a company spend money for a license they're not going to put to good use? I don't think too many 360 gamers would complain about a next generation Disgaea 2 or 1 port to the 360, a la Tecmo and Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

>>192079Lastly, maybe you think I'm a Sony fanboy and I hit hard my head on the table every time a promising game is announced for X360.
Not at all. I enjoy both consoles, so I consider myself *relatively* balanced. It's just that in general, the anime fan community is willingly ignorant of the 360's offering this generation. Perhaps it's because of all the great games on the PS1 and PS2, but many are able to see the few positives for the PS3 while completely being unable to accept the fact that this generation, the 360 is on par, and perhaps better than the competition at providing the content that they desire, yet their prejudice at the console as being primarily a FPS/Western game console blinds them to this very fact.

Excuse me for being on the lose out, If I want to play Disgaea 2 I would buy the PS2 one. Why would I spent 500 bucks on my 360 to play Disgaea 2?

Remakes can be interesting for those who didn't play the actual game, but for those who have they're not such a great thing. I own a PSP, and I'm mad for how many remakes are there. I already played all those games... damn.
This is a personal matter, too, like the fact I'm not interested in Operation Darkness, though. I guess there're lots of people who like remakes, so to play their fav games again and again and continue loving them.
Still, not everyone like remake, but I guess that everyone would be happy with a totally new game. If NIS were to develop remakes for 360, even with improved graphics and extra scenes, characters, class and stuff, I won't buy them, and I would be very sad of this. Chances for new good games would have been wasted.

About the console war thing, I agree with you.
Usually, people think of systems in a totally wrong way. Wii is for party-games, DS is for kids, PSP is worthless, 360 is for FPS. Even if X360 has and will have more FPS than PS3, this does not mean it only has FPS. Considering how FPS are popular in the US, it's obvious there're many. It would be unwise not to develop them. But you still can find japan-aimed games, too. They're not so large in number, but there're, and compared to the first xbox, 360 has TONS of them.
