Support NeoGAF

[JaseC]

They do? They straight up put out a patch to remove Japanese language from Tomb Raider when they put it out on Steam. Pissed a lot of Japanese players off.

Yeah, but that's because Squeenix wanted to sell JP language support as DLC. Every other language the game supports is included in every Tomb Raider sub, which is distinctly different to how FFXIII is being treated.

 

[madjoki]

Japanese is only supported in the Asian sub, but said sub is heavily region-locked.

To add insult to injury, all of Squeenix's other abide by this, too.

They can use that and still limit by sub what languages are allowed, by choosing what depots are included.

Edit: But it doesn't not really work when you want English interface + Japanese audio.

If Disney is somehow involved, and they are in this case, the answer is always: Because Disney.

It's published by Disney and to date it has yet to release a single game on Steam. The frustrating thing is that a digital version of the game exists.

Sigh. That's just a big ole' bummer.

 

[FloatOn]

Can't believe FF XIII is so cheap. Hopefully they get to Tactics and Secret of Mana.

and Chrono Trigger

I want all the iOS ports

 

[Hero Prinny]

that sounds like a stealth-beg to me.

Ew god no. Only reason I'd accept it is cause I was raised to never deny a gift cause its rude. Its hardwired into my brain, seriously, no one give me that.

But isn't FF13 shit? The one with the loooong corridors aka level 'design' everyone made fun of while the few fans kept saying 'keep playing, becomes fun after 50hrs'?

You're correct. Don't let anyone try to convince you that its good

What's the difference between a hidden object adventure game and a normal adventure game?



But haven't deserved it since 6.

7 got it because 'omfg 3D'
8 got it because 'omfg 7'
9 deserved it
10 got it because 'omfg PS2'
11 got it because 'omfg console MMO'
12 deserved it

Really, the good FFs are divisible by 3.

8.7666666666666666666666666666667

That sure divides all right.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

whelp, now I can only hope that someone makes a mod for this

It will likely happen. Persona games have modded ISOs around chaging the English VA for the Japanese ones.

anything is divisible by 3 if you try really hard.


personally, i think it's a solid 70-something. i like the paradigm system, and it's gorgeous and has good music. sadly thats about it.

Square pulling a Sam Fisher and being stealthy bastards. Let's hope the other two Final Fantasy games in the XIII series end up here.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Lightning was a tsundere, vanille was the bubbly quirky girl character, Snow was just a stiff brawler, Hope is the easily frazzled kid out of his element, etc. Sazh was the only main cast member that didn't make me want to hurt myself. and even he is goofy with a chocobo living in his fro.

They all get better as the game progresses, though, but it's initially really hard to sit through.

Thinking back yeah the initial introductions are pretty bad.

It's not like they don't know that Steam exists, given that they are collaborating with Double Fine for Grim Fandango HD and that's 100% coming to steam.

They're just being turdburgers ::kicks dust into the air out of frustration, runs home before anyone can see that he's crying::

The game app was added to the existing sub, which is still in use on the store, so you get both.

But 14

finalfantasy xiv arr = 18 charaters

18/3=6=good

alternatively, "final fantasy xiv a realm reborn" = 27 characters

 

[Porcupine]

It will be one of the best days in my personal gaming history, when every Final Fantasy has been released on Steam.

Spoiler

Don't destroy my dream Square

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Oh shit, you're right.

 

[jediyoshi]

Oops Dragonfall director's cut is out now
My spare money died to save SE

Still good. Nice.

Ah, didn't know. Thanks.

I really hope capcom is taking note. I want the old REs and Dino Crisis on steam. Would have thought they would get the hint with FF7&8 sales.

 

[kevin1025]

I leave Steamland for a while to go to Consoletown and now there's Final Fantasy's everywhere. What is going on here?!

 

[Vuze]

Let's port beg this

But 12 was pretty much universally panned as bad, so your sequence doesn't work.

Only people I know who actually pan it are idiots who thought 8 had great writing.

Really? The director's cut seems to still have only the director's cut on it, no DLC app.

Can we beg for RE5 Gold DLC first pls?

 

[derExperte]

All that FF13 talk while I'm thinking about buying Roundabout. Also Elminage Gothic is out.

 

[rtcn63]

FF games always receive roughly ~15 extra bonus points on metacritic.

The first (dozen) hours are a 2/5 for me at best. Even the traditional-ish combat systems seen in games like Lost Odyssey and Bravely Default were more engaging. It does feel as if you're just pressing one button for years on end.

All the developers know this is where the long term money is, therefore they're finally jumping over.

I can't really argue with this.

Publishers managed to get out of the 2006 vortex and realise there's money to be made.

 

[Deques]

My work is done

 

[drizzle]

FF 13 will have japanese audio, nice.

Only in Asia, though.

Only in Asia, and the sub is heavily region-locked.

I wonder if one could replace the audio files with the Asian version files and get Japanese VO on the NE (or whatever is the version we're getting called) version.

 

[Tellaerin]

I really hope capcom is taking note. I want the old REs and Dino Crisis on steam. Would have thought they would get the hint with FF7&8 sales.

Be careful what you wish for. Knowing Capcpom, they'll hear your pleas and port Dino Crisis 3 to PC, then they'll be all like, "Look what we did for you, Jawmuncher!"

 

[ashecitism]

wait a minute, isn't Kingdom Hearts a Disney collab? Doesn't bode well for a Steam release unless Disney come to their senses

 

[JaseC]

I wonder if one could replace the audio files with the Asian version files and get Japanese VO on the NE (or whatever is the version we're getting called) version.

Yeah, that'd work (theoretically). I assume someone will host the JP files somewhere, or at the very least a piracy group will release the JP version.

 

[MUnited83]

http://steamdb.info/sub/36554/

That's the sub of the DLC, no? The standalone is the Director's Cut.

 

[aku:jiki]

Well, that's a lame Humble. I know, Deadly Premonition. Too expensive when the rest look like shit belonging in an Indie Royale bundle.

I really like the song in the Lexica trailer, though. Not enough whistling in music!

First thing I thought of when looking at it was that it reminds me of old top down games like Gauntlet and Smash TV. Then I saw :"Mix Gauntlet with Smash TV, add in a dash of Ghouls n Ghosts, and stir with a rogue-lite… Iron Fisticle is a game that offers tributes to a lot of classics."

It's a featured review, so of course I'm wary of it. But hopefully someone will post impressions of it at some point, it looks pretty neat.

I already did. That review is pretty much perfectly accurate, though. It's a blend of those games with Amiga graphics and music.
