Some people think it ruined JRPGs forever. I think those people are just having an Al Pacino moment.

They still haven't had their all important PS3 release so delaying that gives them some room to maneuver. For now the PC version is like a $50 beta test. SE takes FFXIV extremely seriously, it's a numbered release so making it succeed the way FFXI did (say what you will, the game's been active nearly 9 years now) is currently their number 1 priority. You don't have the director of FFXII doing something as menial as game interface and web design unless you're serious. Emerje |

You're being awfully generous and forgiving with that statement.
I really don't think anyone...sane, or smart, has denied FFXI's success. While it may have seemed off-putting, as far as MMOs go, it's definitely high tier, sitting pretty high, but just below juggernauts like WoW and EverQuest. And that's both in quality and popularity. Ignotant Gamer #458 can say whatever the hell he wants, FFXI is a damn fine game. And erm...interface maker?  I dunno about you, but I happen to find the UI one of FF14's drawbacks. To say that its a clusterfuck, is to say chocolate clusters with peanuts...taste like peanuts. It's an understatement. It's missing the chocolate, in that comment.

I was never implying she was useless. Granted she is a hilarious character but her humor worked better for me in the non-Disgaea games she appeared in.
How so? Should I insult them more? |

Very true. It's a real shame Versus seems to have been put on the back burner. I was way more interested in it than in either XIII or XIV. That's where I don't get why they would try to push XIV out half finished either. If they wanted another game to follow up XIII relatively soon it would have made a whole lot more sense for it to be Versus. |

I was just talking to a friend about showing her Legend of Mana this weekend. Glad I'm not the only one who remembers it. and wants it playable on current consoles; with slight tweaks; and an up-rez treatment. and would like a sequel.
Sure it wasn't a proper sequel to Secret of Mana, and it's got a few shortcomings. But it grew on me; and it's quite good in its own right. |

I first played Chantelise back when it was released; it's a lot of fun but lacks replay value once you complete all the levels. Now Gunners Heart, that's totally worth going through over and over again.

The CD released here in North America entitled Time & Space, a Tribute Album to Yasunori Mitsuda, featured a bunch of really well done mix of Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger, and Xenogears tracks with guitars and the like, and it's one of my most played cds to this day - fantastic stuff to get my creative juices going on art projects. I look forward to more of his stuff making it out of 8-bit.
As to Square's current cheap projects, I'm surprised you have yet to mention their Facebook games. Yeah, they're pretty simple, and some are still in beta, but god dammit, I'm a Chocobo Breeder,and damn proud of it - or at least as much as you can be proud of a facebook app. |

Such an ugly way to put it! Just say it how it is...  Sometimes, the truth is uglier than diarrhea. In this case, I'd rather spend a whole week stricken with diarrhea than play Re:coded again for another five minutes.
I literally resold that game on Amazon, like, a day and a half after I received my Play-Asia shipment. |

Megaman Legends did get a few re-releases:
Each of those PSP releases recieved Capkore re-releases: 
Before being bundled into this: 
Capcom actually submitted this PSP release to SCEA, but were rejected on the grounds that both games were literally the PSone ISOs burned onto a UMD with no changes what so ever. They didn't want exact ports at retail. It's the same reason why Breath of Fire 3 got released in Europe in English, but wasn't released here. In 2008 they even released a midquel: 
Granted, it was for cellphones and was Japan-only. But the series hasn't really been dead in Japan, and the first two games certainly have been released enough given these games are just above ten years old at this point. |

@belvadeer: Oh I know, was just messing with you, TBH I kind of agree Etna really has more screentime in crossover & Spinoff games in the main series. But yea looking foward to P2.
Anywho, all of those pictures make me want to Play legends ...and make me want Legends 3 even more. |

Not nearly as ugly as the fact that somebody bought it five minutes after I listed it. I swear. Sometimes, I really do think that diehard Kingdom Hearts fantoids are too godamn stupid to even know when a series has gone straight to shit. And if you even make so much as a TINY criticism, you're automatically a troll. An evil creature who must be extinguished. It's depressing - I blame the fansites for false enthusiasm and zealotry. And the gaming news blog Siliconera. Ishaan Sahdev is a zealot fanboy of the most fail classification. Then I had a cup of pudding, and I felt better. Yay! Know what else is depressing? The fact that those Legends PSP ports never made it stateside. Like, what is wrong with Capcom? If they could release Fate/Unlimited Codes...why not that? |

If I remember correctly it's because Sony of America REFUSES to release ports of old games unless they have a significant amount of new content. It's why the Suikoden 1+2 PSP port and the Breath of Fire 3 port have never been released over here. |

I'm not so sure about that.
Look at FF Tactics or the Persona remake. Only about 25% of them have been changed or tweaked in content. Not exactly a significant change per say, but they apparently warranted releases. What about the Power Store collection, or SF Alpha Max 3? There's also the Viewtiful Joe Red Hot Rumble port. I dunno, plenty of ports have been brought over without significant changes. I guess you could just chock this up to another case of Capcom being...well, Capcom. |
