I think this game would do very well with a late summer release. The only competition would be Xillia really. I feel like ARR has a separate audience so releasing X in the same season wouldn't be much of an issue. In the fall there is already KH in September, LR in the mid months and than all attention will likely shift to next gen in the winter.
But I highly doubt we'll see this game til late 2013. Especially considering for whatever reason how long it's taking KH 1.5 to get to us

Not happening. If that was the case, we'd have a much more specific release date right now than simply "2013".
It's going to be late this year. Probably November or December, and after XIII-3 (which is slated for a Fall release). They'll probably narrow the window to "Q4 2013" at E3, and announce the final date later on.
Agreed.
maybe there waiting till E3

I wouldn't give them too much credit.
$30 might be the bottom line realistically, but still feels like a huge scam. That means getting it on a handheld that obviously produces somewhat reduced visuals costs 50% more than its console counterpart.

Wanted to post here but posted in the X-2 pics thread instead.
Pretty excited to play these remasters, haven't touched these games since they were released, loved them back then and I'm wondering how I will react to the story and characters after all these years, I never liked Tidus to begin with.
Played XII international on my PC recently and the writing and voice acting hold up well.
X and X-2 are likely to make me cringe a few times but I'm sure I'll have a great time revisiting spira.
The cutscenes will also be remastered right? Only collection I can think of that did that is the GoW Origins collection, looking forward to seeing those gorgeous scenes in HD.

I doubt it. I think they'll be $40 minimum.
Type 0 was $80 at retail and the Ultimate hits I think makes it go down to $40. I think.
Square wants the most it can get out of it's FF products.
Yep, I agree and that's the worst part. That will mean paying double to play the same game on Vita, and then when the game(s) sell like shit on Vita, Square Enix will complain, so

I wonder if they will give out a freebie like KH ReMix. Its getting a hardcover artbook, though it could've used more pages, still kinda cool.
Could this get something familiar?

And then will use that as evidence to not support the system and any future plans for any support are shot.
And likely Type series will share Before Crisis's fate. Which I think is rather odd they don't make that a localized iOS title since they are so fond of that market.
Why are you using JP cost schemes for the West? The two don't correlate in this situation at all, whatsoever.
October is fall... Releasing it in November is a terrible idea and I know that it's not coming out in December. It's either October or next year.
And people say I'm harsh. Oh wait. Right. I think it's a C-tier game. Compile Heart makes better games than that garbage.

And your counterclaim on the subject matter is...
-----------------
LR is T-Tier. Toriyama Tier.
It's not a counterclaim. It's a statement of fact. It was what.... 8000 yen or something like that? That's not 80 dollars. Additionally, cost of games in Japan does not correlate to cost in the US. The pricing scheme is vastly different. There's no correlation for this situation. $80 dollar game for the PSP? Uh...
MagiusNecros

It's not a counterclaim as you provided none.
It was considered a premium title because of 2 UMD's. You can't really make an accurate assumption on Type 0 since it's never been priced on the Western pricing scheme.
As it's a Japan Only game until further notice.
If we did use a Western Price it would likely be $50. Maybe $60 if they were that bold. Square considers Type 0 as a mainline entry.
No need to provide a counterclaim.
Okay... so why did you say 80 dollars? It's not. It was released as 8000-something yen. You're the one who's making an assumption that it would 1.) adopt the same price as Japan 2.) assume a conversion rate 3.) adopt the same pricing scheme as Japan.

In retrospect you are correct. I was considering import fees.(Brainfart)
In which case the price for that game would be $50.
At least as a initial retail price.
Imma win that avatar bet now. lol.
Square Enix seems like the kind of company who would sell each on Vita for $40 than complain about sales, so I can see it going that route. A $30 physical and $25 digital version of each would be what they would do if they were not dicks, but we'll see. Maybe Square Enix is going to change! And sega is going to make the dreamcast 2, and mega man legends 3 is going to come out.
I sort of hope they charge 40 bucks for each just so I can laugh.

And Matsuno will go back to Ivalice! But he's not.
I don't think it's right, i think it's what's happening.
Also, if this was coming out before KH HD, why date KH HD first? Why even announce KH HD for the west first? It's not coming out this summer.
Their pricing is a big reason why they will continue to get a total of zero dollars from me.
30$ together TOTAL is the max that they could charge without me laughing at it.
Even if both games came on one Vita card it would still cost $40 IMO, since MGS HD for Vita cost that much.
But in this case, both games are just huge and each requires their own Vita card, so $30 for both is definitely not going to happen.
Personally, due to the scale of the games, the amount of hours that I will play each, the degree of effort put in the remasters and the fact that each game needs one Vita card (which adds to its cost), I consider $30 each to be a fair price for the Vita versions.

I hope we'll get more news this week!
Why would we? Best bet is going to be E3 for anymore media. I'm hoping for a real trailer.
Btw. Anyone has a guess as of why there is no Vita preorder for these games yet? My only guesses are that: a) They are debating going digital-only for the Vita versions (unlikely, since every main FF has seen a physical release) or b) They are perhaps waiting to get some kind of deal from Sony on the Vita cards or perhaps even the possibility of getting a special 8GB card for these games.
Just some wild theories. Feel free to add yours.

FF III is digital only on PSP/Vita (At least outside of Japan, they have a physical release I think), they may go that route with these.
Thanks! I forgot that one.
Still, FFX is way bigger in terms of popularity and appeal. I'm almost sure it will get a physical release here as well. On the other hand, not having preorder information for it is a bit concerning.

So... the best estimate for Vita price is around 30-40 each?
Damn.
I'll be getting both of these though for my Vita. Sometimes I am such a sucker >___>
Damn.

Here is what I think: Since Vita games cost more to manufacture (due to the cost of the Vita cards), releasing both in one package would almost force them to a) Price it the same as the PS3 release and not earn as much per sale or b) Price it higher to earn the same per sale but at the same time getting a lot of negative reactions from the market for "overpricing" the Vita version and losing a lot of sales as a consequence.
On the other hand: c) selling them separately at about, let's say, $30 each, allows them earn on each sale and also gives a choice to consumers who only want to play either X or X-2, since buying only one would still cost less than getting the full PS3 version.
Scenario a: SE loses.
Scenario b: All Vita customers lose.
Scenario c: Only those who plan to buy BOTH games on Vita lose (my case).
Hope it's $30 for each.
Because I ain't gonna pay another $10 just for a $40 PS3 version. That's like me telling SE that FFX is worth $10 when it's actually worth $0.
FFIII is a PSP port of a DS game. It's also available (or will be) on Ouya. It's a complete outlier.
If SE was willing to physically release that game where you play as the king of hell or whatever I can't comprehend how anyone would think the HD remaster of not only a FF, but a fairly popular one would be a digital-only release on Vita.

They could indeed be debating whether to do that; it would certainly explain why there aren't any Vita pre-orders up yet. It's true that packing both in one cart might be pricey for Square, but doing so would also easily facilitate cross-buy and/or cross-save support (both of which I hope make it in).

You don't like FFX man?
It's one of my favorite FFs. And this is the International version too, so 10 million HP super final boss awaits! Hahaha.
Here's my 1st post from this thread.
I've played and finished most mainline FFs. FFX is almost on the same tier as FFII. And by God I hate FFII with a righteous fury, an energy rivaling that of a 100 waifus scorned.
Which boss is that again? I only played International once and that was years ago.

Hwy Square. Now that you have this engine working on the vita, why don't you re-purpose it and the assist into a new game?
How about you use the beast master class and the Spheres (or Crystals) to capture fiends. Then you can use your captured fiends to battle other fiends and beast masters.
Bam! The vita has its own pokemon style game and Square has a multi-million unit game at relatively little cost.
Your welcome Square.

You Know FF X-2 International already has capturing monsters and being able to use them in your party right?

Hahaha.
Well, I never really *hated* any mainline FF games. The closest maybe is FFXII, but that was not hate, that's just indifference.
Penance, that one dude that only appear after you defeat all the Dark Aeons. IIRC, he got a main body and two arms, with the main body HP's reaching 10 million and each of the arm have 500.000 HP--and his arms regenerated too just to fuck the player more, hahaha.

I mean as its own game with different characters. The fact that they've had this mechanic already and haven't exploited it boggles my mind

Penance isn't really a very hard fight. Even if you escape from the battle, the damage you do still counts, so you can just fight a few rounds, escape, and fight more later.
They haven't explored it 'cause it's lame.
