GameFAQs is blazing hot now, that means more work for me (more moderations to handle...)

And seriously I don't get the hate either. I still get the PS3 version and probably save money for Xbox360 and get SO4 if it happens that SO4 is staying exclusive to Xbox360.

Which is also nice since Tales of Vesperia is on Xbox360 too.

That's what I don't get, so FFXII is getting put on the 360 in the West, but SO4 stays on 360 both sides? How does that work? If they're putting XIII on 360 here because there'll be more profit and not in Japan because there are fewer 360 fans there, how do they expect SO4 to sell well in Japan, where the franchise is definitely more popular than it is in the west? Is it because SO4 isn't worth the money to port? Why make the game then!?

Nothing to do with me not having a 360 ;__; No Vesperia and SO4 for mii...orz

And wootwoot for extensions! Though it's kind of alarming to hear that a lot of people didn't finish it; is the schedule over at Maiki's school right now very busy?

I find it weird about SO4 too because obviously they're not aiming to increase the 360's sales in Japan but rather grab as much cash as they can from their titles... But I guess SE HAD to make FF13 multi because after reading some other news, seems like they're spending too much money on it that releasing it on one console wouldn't be enough to recover costs.

Midterm exams period at the moment so, yeah, we have a lot od deadlines overlapping each other PLUS exams. :D

"There won't be any FF XIII 'International' whatsoever"

Does this mean Square is not going to release the traditional international version in Asian territories with English voice overs with Asian subs? I'm hoping the Japanese release will contain both Japanese and English dubs, so i can import.

As for that, I'm not sure. Game companies never talk about their Asian versions to the public so unless you live in that territory, it's hard to tell what they have in mind. :/

They also claimed they weren't going to make a Final Mix of KH2, and look what happened with that >.>.

Though they could just mean that any additional content they come up with will be added through DLC or something.

I don't really understand this console problem. Is it that Vesperia will come out in English for the X360, and then when they port it to PS3 it won't come out in English? It's kind of a double moot point anyway because I don't have $400+ for a single console and I need to hear Flynn in Japanese anyway hurrrr

Sorry, I confused myself there. I meant JP Vesperia. D8;; Like me, since JP FF13 stays PS3-only, there's no way one can get both FF13 and Vesperia without owning both consoles.

Ohhh. Yeah, that's bad. :(

By the way...I think I unknowingly purchased the anthology with that icon's picture in it :DDD Phlaiz Clear!

I'm okay wit' the multi-platform stunt, and the movable scans...that made me a little happy seeing the Pig-tailed girl smile...I thought her smile was 'dorable.

Anyways, what annoys me is that we didn't get any new information on FNC franchise...like more details on their story lines...names...and we didn't get to see the E3 2008 FFvXIII trailer, yet...I wanted to see the Shotgun guy making funny expressions; head-locking; and getting head-locked...Hopefully, we'll see the trailer before this year's E3 ends?
:C
I'm pretty sore and numb over this waiting...and unfortunately I can't find anything else to do but wait and speculate. Maybe I should lurk around GameFaqs to entertain myself over crack posts. :/
Nah, too lazy. Whatever, I'll get myself around to it. Nice blog by the way. :]

There's no new news because SE will be holding an event next month to announce some big news anyway so we'll have to wait for that one.

The waiting kills me too so that's why I currently keep myself busy with other games. The Tales series might give you a healthy hobby because Namco sprouts out 4-5 new Tales every year. :P Just not healthy for your wallet

Thanks! I rarely update it lately, though. ^_^;

Maiki, you visit GameFAQs? sourside21 July 18 2008, 23:03:44 UTC
I didn't know that! May I ask what your username is? And what message boards do you exactly visit?

Oh, and I'm a big fan of your blog. Ever since you first posted those sketches of XIII and Versus XIII, I've been reading your blog pretty consistently. You got me pretty addicted to Nico Nico Douga, ^_^
