its not a delay. Its localization. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE released in 2015 in Japan but wont be released in NA until later this month. It is not a delay: it is localization so to even have this conversation is idiotic because we are discussing something that doesn't exist.

ATLUS releases 50+ hour games on a fequency very few other publishers do, and their localizations are some of the best around. That said, I don't understand what leads you to believe ATLUS USA isn't up to the task.

Its not a delay its localization. I point your attention to their last release Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Decent localizations do take time. It is fair to say that Final Fantasy 15 would already be out in Japan if not for the worldwide localization they did first. Square went the ATLUS route with Star Ocean 5, and Dragon Quest Heros.

Fair enough and believable. I actually do remember them saying that because supposedly this game won't have an English subtitle with Japanese voices option.

Still, imo, a very long time to wait for localization.

Edit:
"Evangelion 3.33"

Lol! I hear ya on that one.

"Still, imo, a very long time to wait for localization."

Well not really. I totally get where you are coming from but #FE is almost at 7 months and if you really want to see some long times check out Evangelion 3.33 I mean THAT right there was well over a year. No polish as visuals are done, but the original Japanese team wasn't satisfied with the work done on the original English localization attempt and it had to be scrapped and redone.

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.
