Is it time to get worried about Shallie+?

Lol, no platform announcements, eep. Though I can't see them not bringing Toukiden at least. Samurai Warriors is gonna bomb everywhere.
Now where is Shallie Plus?

I'm really glad they've announced Firis and NoA 2 before they're even released in Japan, but why couldn't they announce Shallie+ as well? Game's been out for months now :/.

This lineup seems to be related to the things they're showing at TGS, so absence of Shallie Plus doesn't have to mean anything. Can't hurt to tweet at them though
EDIT: Theory from my butt: They're working on a release together with LRG and want to make sure everything is sorted before they announce it.

I'm wondering about that. LRG managed to sort things out with Spike Chunsoft for a simultaneous release of One Way Heroics, so it's possible Koei Tecmo could be starting with Atelier Shallie and then work backwards.
And I hope they are working backwards, because I want the Arland games through LRG sososo much.

World of Final Fantasy PS4 vs Vita gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nilnO7NnrUA
Vita version looks fine to me. Also runs pretty well it seems.
Also god damn, this cutscene is awesome: https://youtu.be/nilnO7NnrUA?t=903
The facial animations and the voice acting are top notch.
edit: and I missed that this got posted earlier. Meh.

I really hope KoTec won't turn to darkside and treat Vita as a "dead" dead platform. Toukiden 2 is a long ass game, I can't see myself playing it on PS4. Monster hunting and all other grinding games shouldn't exist on anything except handhelds.
Hope to see Vita versions announced for the games, but nice to see Toukiden & Nights of Azure 2 confirmed for western release

Nights of Azura 1 & 2 Vita Double-Pack, pls.
World of FF looks awesome but we should see the framerate in fights and heavier scenes.
I'm worried since sophie's localization, too bad because i want shallie.
I hope that all the vita version of the announced games will be localized

Didn't they port the Oddworld games and Lumo to the PS Vita? Not a fan of those to be honest, but hey, would be still cool doing it.
Thanks - another one for the list!

Correction: There is DLC. 14 songs, 19 if you include the pre-order DLC.
But the game already has a huge amount of content so don't let that discourage you
I think lumo was a lazy port but the oddworld games , I don't think so. Stranger's wrath is just perfect IMO .
I will buy the game twice if they can release it on Vita .

As a side note, does anyone think there's something going on with Banner Saga on Vita?
To compare to a similar game, Resident Evil Revelations 2 for Vita was announced in December 2014; had to wait until April 2015 for the full game to be released (meaning progress had to stall before that) and then released on August 18th. I can't be 100% certain when it started development, but it seemed to spend about 8-9 months in dev.
Banner Saga was cancelled in December 2015 and Sony stepped in to save it the same month. I'm assuming development on it didn't start immediately but it couldn't have been too long after, maybe a month or two? It's now September and we haven't heard a peep about where it's up to, so that's 9 months and counting.
Considering Resident Evil appeared to be a much more ambitious game to have to port to Vita, I really wonder what's going on with Banner Saga. My guess is that they're porting the second game as well, although that may be wishful thinking. Either that or the game is nearly finished but Gio is going to save it as a surprise PSX announcement like last year.

I think the writing was on the wall for this when we went several weeks without hearing a word about it after they had changed the preorder info to Chinese only. Still surprised about it though considering Chronicles doesn't exactly seem to be doing badly for import sites and it's not like they would be doing real work on a localization, considering Chronicles was just barely above google translate at times.
To be fair though, even if it had an English version, lol at $52 for this game. I only got the first because it was on sale last December and I didn't have to pay shipping, I do not feel like full fanservice games are worth a marked up price, especially when the gameplay is usually lacking compared to other offerings of the same genre.
The based ones.
btw no, Oddworld games weren't ported by them, maybe just Stranger's Wrath, but New N Tasty was ported by Nephilim games and Munch's Oddysee by Four Door Lemon

Nice. Got GB3 on PS4 physical and Vita digital. Will get this Vita physical only.

They're spending less for a less demanding game though, so I wouldn't assume that means a longer cycle.
I dunno. I just find it weird to have heard nothing in 9 months.
Thanks. I think I can live with that.

Thanks. I hope Amazon UK lists it soon. Does Spain use PEGI or some other rating on the box?
Nachtfalke
Member
Yeah, but I prefer a UK copy if possible. I should mentioned it. But thanks.
I only saw the big collector's edition. But they usually add the smaller LEs later. At least that was the case for Gal*Gun.
They use PEGI. Only Germany and Russia have different rating boards in Europe.

Cool ill preorder just in case amazon uk doesnt list then. thanks
I sent an e-mail to Sony Asia about it, and their response was basically "Your e-mail address is not registered in the Asian region, so we cannot offer you customer support. Please contact the American branch." I'm too lazy to try and find a free HK email or something since it'd be a waste of time anyway.

After we saw that the main reasons for "localization changes" in the west are Germany and Australia, I wonder how much games could get away with if they just focused on PEGI and ESRB. Gal Gun, SK, CG and VD all push it pretty far already. I wonder if PQube would have the balls to release a Genkai Tokki game.
I think IFI could get away with localizing Seven Pirates uncensored if they didn't care about Germany and Australia. It's not as risque as the previous two games in the series, and we've had other games with boob groping get localized already. I don't know if they'll bother trying, though.

I hope they do. I'm also already getting worried about Mary Skelter :/ That would probably run into the same issues in those territories
Pellegri Testament

Honestly, if anyone tries it at this point, it should be IFI. I'm sure anyone who has been paying attention to Compile Heart releases sees that there's not exactly a whole lot IFI can even do anymore, without starting in on the more fanservicey games. Like what can IFI even do after SeHa releases in October, other than more PC ports? Black Rose is probably a lock even if it's guaranteed to sell poorly and then we "might" get Mary Skelter, even though it's guaranteed to be banned in some countries. Other than those they don't have much, since even the next Neptunia spinoff (Cyberdimension Online) hasn't been dated for Japan yet.
YianGaruga

Yep. Something else I'm thinking about is that they're releasing Monpiece uncensored on Steam. I could almost see them skipping Vita versions entirely and bringing those games to Steam only, if ratings for console games remain an issue.
Yeah, IFI has nothing left to localize other than Black Rose unless they take a chance on the Genkai Tokki games. I think Mary Skelter will be fine for everywhere other than Germany/Australia, but that's not even out in Japan yet so I don't know what they're gonna be working on in the meantime other than PC ports.
More otome pls.

.There's a lot of otome out there.

For every single otome title from Idea Factory you get to know, there are another 40 that you don't know. They could release two per month for years and there'd still be a lot.

I mean I was joking of course but I just looked up what Otomate releases and Jesus. It's always weird to see how much there is in these sub genres you know nothing about.If by all you mean like 1% of them, sure

I think I have some research to do
I don't mind if they do more otome games, but it seems like they'd rather just give them to Aksys since they haven't done any themselves after Amnesia. I just want Compile Heart's games to keep coming over too, but we're nearly caught up to Japan now other than the Genkai Tokki games.

Otome. Also it's time for them to take a gamble of Date a Live.
And more seriously, like everyone other Japanese localization house out there, they can always just get into publishing other company's games.
Pretty please.

And not just Otomate. Sometimes it feels like otome games could make up for half the Vita's library.

I'd love to see Aksys go after a D3 otome game or especially a Ruby Party title. Just to see what the genre is like made by these other studios (not because I dislike Otomate's stuff, just out of curiosity's sake).
