Ashtear OP , 1 day ago to World of JRPG's in Square Enix is still working hard on indie/small-scale games, CEO says

Yeah, I think if the interviewer was asking questions in English, they probably would have used the term "AA" or "small" for the type of games in question.

Semantics aside, everyone here knows what Kiryu is talking about.

Ashtear , 10 days ago to Games in DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake – Release Date trailer

The accompanying Dragon Quest I & II announcement was a surprise. DQIII is the kind of game that could sell massively in Japan, so this is likely not the last we'll see of HD-2D remakes.

91 is a rather high score for PC Gamer, and they are usually hard on games for technical issues over there. Good sign for those of us that were waiting for a PC port.

About the same reaction I had. Loved the MC's design but once I put it down for something else I ended up not picking it up again before having to return it to the library. Was planning on checking it out again until this version (and especially the PC port) got announced.

I believe them when they said it was just not in their budget. This already was their largest Persona in terms of voiced character lines, much less all the other development that would go into the option. Disappointing for sure, but I'm not at all surprised.

I genuinely don't think we're seeing her in a future DLC or re-release.

I edited the link to a Youtube channel that ripped and rehosted the video.

We'll see tomorrow, but I'm not convinced this wasn't all planned. Negative marketing is a thing, and if they had assets left over from earlier development, it would have been a cheaper trailer to make. People are talking about how absurd the trailer was, and that's a far, far better marketing result than apathy.

Same reason I never picked it up. They certainly sounded like it was never going to happen in interviews, but this was also Atlus' best launch for a title ever, so who knows.

Haven't seen any follow-up, but if I'm being honest, what Square Enix Europe did bothers me just as much as the dev. That's gotta be systemic over there.

I had a good time with Before the Storm and True Colors. The Expanse was less exciting (despite it being based on one of my favorite properties ever), mostly because the episodes were too short. That doesn't look like it'll be an issue here since it sounds like it's a one-time release again like True Colors.

I didn't like them as much as the first LiS but I see that game as lightning in a bottle in a lot of ways, especially for someone like me that used to live in that part of Oregon.

Ashtear OP , 19 days ago to World of JRPG's in New Turn-Based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Announced

Yeah, a lot of people don't like them. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a setting/accessibility option for it.

Ashtear , 19 days ago to Games in World of Warcraft - The War Within Date Announce Cinematic

Depending on what you mean, all of Warcraft's expansions are "standalone" now. You'll get all the previous content with a purchase.

It's the start of a three-expansion story arc.

The studio head count is under 40, so best not to expect massive production values here. It'll be a smaller game than Metaphor, for example.

That said, absolutely the highlight of the day for me. I'll be keeping a close eye on it.

Definitely not Doom 3, lol.
