This is an unfortunate example of the many N4G regulars who only read the title of an article without bothering to look at the content. Not to mention the ridiculous practice of using flamebait titles in the first place.
I need a Xenosaga series HD collection.
Why would that be sad? The differences from Western games are what make Japanese games great.
Sounds awesome. I hope it doesn't take too long to make it to NA.
Kinect is the David Hasselhoff of the gaming world.
There was a time when seeing that logo made me instantly want to purchase whatever game it was attached to.
I can't say about Arc the Lad because I didn't play those games but Alundra was one of the best games for the ps1. Legend of zelda style gameplay with a very dark story. So good.
Well deserved and will hopefully sell heaps more.
One of my favorite games this gen.
Both versions look awesome. Picked up the ps3 version and all I have to say is whatever system you prefer, buy this game.
How about Squeenix?
Then we could call them Squeegie.
I wish my suit had a chocolate milk bladder.
How is homebrew piracy? I was under the impression homebrew was made available freely and the only thing it had in common with pirated games was the need for a hacked system to play them.

For many reviewers a perfect score does not mean a perfect game but simply their highest possible recommendation. Basically an "any fan of the genre is likely to enjoy this game" sort of thing.
I am hoping at tgs the VC announcement is for a ps3 sequel.
Great preview I am definitely going to give this game a try.

No surprise here.
I am stoked for the move but this game looked like a bad idea from day one.
fanboy
That is just semantics though. When you use one platform as a lead you still have to "port" that code to the other system and tweak it to make it work. They aren't exactly building the game ground up on both systems at the same time that would be redundant and wasteful.
The main point of my comment still holds true in either case. Historically it is almost always the lead platform that runs best the other version has to be tweaked to matc...
To be fair they did not develop Demon's Souls they just published it. Can't wait for Persona 5.
