Yeah, I'll be buying Sakura Wars, just out of retro-curiosity. It's probably too little, too late for the series as a whole in Mother America, though.

Worked for Fire Emblem.

They just need to throw a mec (or a moe) into the next Super Smash Bros. and they're set!

A SAKURA WARS GAME GETTING LOCALIZED

Neat, who's bringing it over?

...

And Cross Edge got localized? How the hell? Capcom actually let them?

What is going on over there?

Lunar gets another remake.

It's almost like the Street Fighter 2 of RPGs. Except Final Fantasy 1 has that honor.

Brentai · « **Reply #1307 on:** May 13, 2009, 08:42:57 AM »

I think they're both about 20 iterations behind Ys I.

Still, both Ys and Final Fantasy have actual, you know, sequels. Lunar gave us one good sequel and a Game Gear spinoff and then retracted into a perfect little ball to recover the same territory over and over forever.

No, Dragon Song did not exist. I don't know what you're talking about sir.

What bugs me about remaking Lunar is that the game has no replay value. Regular battles are just what you'd expect from an average RPG, and all the boss battles go: Alex --> special sword attack, Kyle --> special sword attack, Jessica --> Heal, Mia --> most recent magic spell, Nash --> same fucking spell through most of the game. There's no customization, no strategy, nothing.

Now, the same could be said for almost every RPG, but at least they aren't being remake several times over. And at least Lunar 2 had those magic things you could equip to give your characters a few different spells - which still wasn't much.

Brentai · « **Reply #1309 on:** May 13, 2009, 01:42:30 PM »

Well between the SCD and Saturn/PS1 remakes of Lunar there was a pretty major overhaul of the battle system and both of them really were more involved than the standard JRPG fare (it still remains one of the few games where I'll actually weigh the choice between attacking and casting a spell) so I'm not complaining about that.

Still, there's only so many ways to round out the wheel.

FACTOR 5 IS GOING UNDER

Brentai · « **Reply #1311 on:** May 14, 2009, 05:13:30 PM »

Only the US branch.

Saturn · « **Reply #1312 on:** May 14, 2009, 05:19:28 PM »

would care more if they had released something good since rogue squadron 2

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #1313 on:** May 14, 2009, 07:08:46 PM »

At first I thought Level 5 went under I was going fuuuuck but then I realized you said Factor 5.

Rosencrantz · « **Reply #1314 on:** May 14, 2009, 08:31:43 PM »

One of my best friends worked for them while Lair was being made. In fact, I believe he designed the first level. It was amusing to me that for years, while lots of people on the internet were waiting anxiously for the game's release, he was telling me how goddamn fucking awful it was going to be thanks to all the meddling on Sony's part and the incompetence of his boss.

Saturn · « **Reply #1315 on:** May 15, 2009, 07:08:56 AM »

lemme guess, sony's meddling was where the MAKE IT CONTROLLED ENTIRELY VIA THE TILT SENSORS idea came from

Console sales take a beating.

I WAS going to use my last check to finally bite on a 360 or PS3 and finally join the next generation, but it might be worth it to sit on my ass for just a biiiiiit longer and see if they're forced to chop prices any. It's not like I actually get to PLAY videogames anymore anyway.

Doom · « **Reply #1317 on:** May 15, 2009, 09:05:43 AM »

At least browse around and find one of the bi-monthly sales where they throw in like five free games.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #1318 on:** May 15, 2009, 09:17:15 AM »

The best reason for a 360 these days will be because you want to do some bustin' with us.

Brentai · « **Reply #1319 on:** May 15, 2009, 09:24:08 AM »

Oh, great. And here I was thinking it was an easy choice, since the only next-gen game I still cared about at the moment was MGS4.
