I hated XII when I first played it because of the combat, but I'd definitely give it another go if it got an HD rerelease.

Xenoblade convinced me that that kind of combat isn't bad.

 

[AmanoBuff]

FFXII International for Vita for US audiences would be a personal killer app if I didn't have a Vita already. Right on, do it Kitase!

I'm still very skeptical about this if he means ONLY Vita. I doubt SE would approve such a port unless it:

- Is targeted to both Vita and PS3/4
- or unless the Vita version of FFX/X-2 sell insanely well.

 

[Paches]

FFXII on Vita would instantly be the best (or second best (P4G)) game on the system.

 

[Tiops]

Final Fantasy XII HD would make me love S-E again and cry for every mobile announcement.

 

[TheSeks]

it's okay, I will.

My problem is them not doing a bundle. I really have no clue why Square doesn't when Konami did for MGS's "HD collection" on the same system. Just put it as a bundle on the PSN store and retail. Boom, done. But apparently they aren't doing that and I'm not paying $15-40 each for it.

 

[RurouniZel]

FFXII IZJE in HD, and I'll give the game another shot.

 

[encephalon]

Considering I still haven't played Zodiac, this is great news for me.

 

[Sub_Level]

This is the only one I can think of, unfortunately. Does Fable count? The topic makes me wish I knew more about EuroRPGs.

I count Stalker as an rpg. Stuff like Pathalogic too. Those are yurop.

 

[Takao]

In Japan you can do it.

Final Fantasy III

They are offering a bundle in Japan. You can choose to buy the Vita versions either separately or in a Twin Pack that costs exactly the same as the PS3 version.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

You know what else would be awesome. KH on Vita.

I think they would have put 1.5 on vita if it didn't have a mandatory digital download rule.

 

[Sickboy007]

To really answer his question, european sensibilities are really disparate.
Rayman feels like a French game to me, for example. Just like Assetto Corsa feels like an Italian game, and insane simulations about bus driving in the DDR feel very German.

 

[AmanoBuff]

Final Fantasy III

The FFIII 3D remake is not available on the Japanese PSN store?

 

[Amir0x]

I'm still very skeptical about this if he means ONLY Vita. I doubt SE would approve such a port unless it:

- or unless the Vita version of FFX/X-2 sell insanely well.

Either way I hope it comes

 

[apana]

No

You don't think PS2 was high performance for its time? I think Sony took a significant loss per each unit sold, probably quite a bit more than they are taking with PS4.

 

[kurahador]

Ya'll motherfuckers better buy FFX/X-2 HD now!!
I need that FFXII in HD/Vita glory.

Is FFX/X-2 still comes separately on Vita?

 

[neoemonk]

I would like that too Mr. Kitase.

Is there a release date for FF X HD yet?

 

[CoachKevin]

Give us some US release details fir Vita and I will preorder ASAP.

 

[Wazzy]

Yesss gimmegimmegimmegimme.

XII isn't even one of my favourites but having it on Vita would be amazing.

 

[Zoe]

Can't put my finger on it, but aesthetically there's no way I would ever mistake LBP for an American game.

 

[shink]

I never got to finish XII because I transitioned from PS2 to PS3 already. I had BC but it made the fan go crazy when playing PS2 games so stopped using it for PS2 games (and I couldn't transfer my saves across)

 

[Takao]

The FFIII 3D remake is not available on the Japanese PSN store?

"It is currently possible to play all the titles in the series up to Final Fantasy 9 on the current hardware generation, through the PS3 archives or on PC"

Final Fantasy III three dee is on DS, PSP, iOS, and Android. Not PS3 or PC.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

FFXII on Vita would be the best thing ever. EVER.

 

[Jarnet87]

Sure glad they switched Presidents at Enix. This jerk off is taking Wada's plan even further.

 

[TastyOreoFriend]

Can't put my finger on it, but aesthetically there's no way I would ever mistake LBP for an American game.

Outside of the narrator/announcers voices there's nothing in LBP that strikes me as strictly European.

If I were to point to one game though I'd have to say "The Witcher".

 

[Jinfash]

I don't care which platform it gets released on, as long as it gets released with the Zodiac content.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

I know they spit out this kind of PR speak all the time, but I genuinely agree with him when he says FFX has a certain quality to it that is just not present in today's modern games. Cannot wait to get my hands on this.

 

[kubricks]

>>Today’s younger generation who grew up with smart devices now carry these devices around with them to play games whenever and wherever they want .... Even when they are in the toilet!

This man knows what he is talking about!

 

[Takao]

Sure glad they switched Presidents at Enix. This jerk off is taking Wada's plan even further.

I don't believe Kitase is the man to blame for the phone spam.

 

[Squire]

I know they spit out this kind of PR speak all the time, but I genuinely agree with him when he says FFX has a certain quality to it that is just not present in today's modern games. Cannot wait to get my hands on this.

It's really troubling that every word out of a developers mouth is contorted into being "PR speak" in the minds of gamers in the modern era.

 

[AmanoBuff]

This was also my favorite quote from the interview. So true. I hope a lot of people discovers these games with the HD releases.

 

[shouamabane]

I'd buy XII Internation Version HD. I hope these come to PS4.

 

[Shamdeo]

He said the same thing to me about FF12 at E3. Actions, not words Kitase.

(Because it's probably going to be a while. ;p)

 

[clem84]

Would also get FF12 on Vita. Hopefully it would also be on PS3 or PS4.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

I'm buying both FFX and FFX-2 on vita. I'm doing my part.

Let's make this thing work out and FFXII portable.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

FFXII making it's way onto Vita would tick one of the boxes for being my favorite system ever.

 

[Paskil]

Man, as much as I would like to have XII on my Vita, I already have it on PS2. How about we discuss it after you bring Type-0 over?

 

[GotchaForce]

I'd so love FF12 Zodiac Job System for Vita.

 

[Jubern]

Great interview.

I'm double-dipping on this, as soon as the EU version comes out. Physical PS3, digital Vita, most likely.

I *could* buy the JP version since I live here but I'm just too used to the English dub of those games ahah.
And it's not like the JP dub is really much better, truth be said.

 

[clay_ghost]

Me want


I will help push vita instead of telling why people they should buy a 3DS instead.THIS GAME

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

XII on Vita would be pretty cool. Don't know if I can play 100+ hours again but I'd still get it if it happened.

 

[Vane_MagicCity]

This is false.

How so?

1 and 2 = PS3, Vita (maybe)
3 remake = Vita
4 = PS3, Vita (remake)
5 = PS3
6 = PS3, Vita
7 = PS3, Vita
8= PS3, Vita
9= PS3, Vita

 

[Jubern]

XII on Vita would be pretty cool. Don't know if I can play 100+ hours again but I'd still get it if it happened.

Keep it mind it would likely be the International version, that has a fast-forward button

 

[Rojo]

You mean this

 

[tokkun]

How so?

Saying that it is hard to play the PS2 games on modern hardware is false. They run well in PCSX2.

In any case, I feel fairly confident that the answer was not completely honest. The larger reason they are remaking these PS2 games and not FF7 is because it requires significantly less time and money to do so.

 

[Kaneda Shotaro]

The greatest modern FF on Vita? Yes please. FF12 HD could be the last game ever made and I would be fine with that.

 

[Hedge]

I hope it means vita AND PS4. I want to play the best FF on my home console. Just like the glorious PS2 days. Golden age of gaming.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Kitase: I hope I can bring FFXII HD to Vita!

Square-Enix: Nope, ios!

 

[neoism]

XII on Vita? Now, I will buy a Vita and the phattest memory stick for the best FF game in exsitence.

yep day one if its the Japanese version in hd.... woooood in a second... the best FF portable.. @_@

 

[reKon]

FFX was the other reason I'm buying a Vita other than Remote Play. FFXII is what I was hoping would come next. This would be amazing. I only got like 20 hours into FFXII and I enjoyed it (other than that the soundtrack)
