The game wont be released in the west right?

damn what a failure to have such significant problems with the game...I have no words for this

knifefight5404d ago

It'll be released in the West. It has "Final Fantasy" in the title ;)

Xof5404d ago

Where's that assumption coming from?

I've seen a lot of people indicate that the PSP is somehow "dead" overseas. That strikes me as odd, seeing as how there are so many not-yet-released, AAA titles in the future--Frontier Gate, Legend of Heroes: Skies of Zero and its sequel, Final Fantasy Type-0, Valkyria Chronicles 3, etc., etc.

The only real concern I have for the PSP is that Sony won't bother stepping up the PSP games released on PSN--which is a huge deal given the PSVita's limited form of b/c.

Xof:

Final Fantasy games come to the West because they always have selling power, regardless of system "life" or how long past its prime it might be.

When it comes to localizations and sales figures, Final Fantasy is the exception, not the rule. It's not even in the same league as the other titles you list. Valkyria Chronicles is my favorite series, but sadly, its sales can't touch FF's by a long shot. That's a AAA title that miiiight end up staying in Japan. If Square made it and you slapped "Final Fantasy Valkyria" on it, however, it'd be guaranteed to make money and be a lock for West release.

Trust me dude. Type-0 is coming to the West. It might not be quick but it will happen. I don't put my stamp of guarantee on many things, but I can guarantee that.

:)yes thats true! I sure hope it will...

I have the feeling it will get released later on PSP Vita for the western audience...it would help sell the device...I know I would buy it straight away if the ff 0 is available for it

How Final Fantasy’s First M-Rated Game Laid the Foundation for XVI’s Dark Tone

Final Fantasy XVI demonstrates how the franchise has matured since the release of its first M-rated installment, Final Fantasy Type-0.

Type-0 Is The Darkest Final Fantasy Ever Made

DS: “I hate that Type-0 is forgotten among the Final Fantasy games. While not the strongest entry, its mature story makes it stand out from the others. And even though Final Fantasy now has three rated M games — including Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and Final Fantasy XVI, — Type-0 will always have the crown of being the first, and arguably the darkest.”

i agree that it is indeed dark, but it has its issues.

and i feel like the ending is what makes it really a dark final fantasy game.

the rest is more or less war where teenagers fight.

This game was the epitome of the FF dark age pretty much, was hella boring and the gameplay was tedious. I'm glad SE got the series back on track

gold_drake1097d ago

well, it was more of a spin off rly.
especially after they dropped the fabula nova crystalis stuff

H91097d ago

I actually really love this game, the main problem however was that the entire story and personality of the characters, was in the lore that you need to dig very deep to find and external materials outside of the game, honestly it has my favorite lore in the franchise, I wish they had made the game more story focused, god it would have been a masterpiece

The Best Final Fantasy Spin-Off Titles Ever Released

Xfire writes "The Final Fantasy franchise is nearly as old as the video game industry itself.

First released way back in 1987, what initially started as a hail mary title has since turned into a media franchise that has spawned more than a dozen mainline titles and been featured in other forms of media, making hundreds of millions of dollars along the way.

But while the mainline titles get all of the attention -- all eyes are currently on Final Fantasy 16 -- the franchise also has a handful of spin-off titles that are just as good as the mainline titles."

I enjoyed World of Final Fantasy and I love Crisis Core

SDuck1935d ago

Do you even know what a spinoff is?

FallenAngel19841935d ago

Do you? if you even have to ask that

FallenAngel19841935d ago (Edited 1935d ago )

@ cool

It’s more than just having characters. KH uses various gameplay mechanics, themes, terminology, & aesthetics from FF.

It just happens to be a spin-off that’s also a crossover, similar to fellow spin-off crossover titles such as Pokémon Conquest, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle, & Warriors All Stars

coolfool1935d ago

Does including characters from a game make it a spin off? If so, is Smash Bros a spinoff of Metal Gear Solid? 😕

Nerdmaster1935d ago (Edited 1935d ago )

I would put Bravely Default as the best Final Fantasy spin off, even though it doesn't carry the Final Fantasy name (although the japanese version does have the subtitle Flying Fairy so it could carry the FF acronym).

About the games in the list, I like Dissidia 012 a lot, but my favorite is Theatrhythm. I still turn on my old 3DS from time to time to play a few songs.
I wish it had some remixed or orchestrated versions of the old songs, though. NES/SNES songs are nostalgic, but when played by an orchestra they're taken to another level. Strange that some people complained that Theatrhythm Dragon Quest did exactly that... I guess nostalgia does speak loudly.
