Well the original Senran Kagura games were beat em ups, but Shinovi versus and Estival Versus play very similar to DW.
It is great, I've done a fair bit of Tales of Hearts R but I haven't got back to it for a while now. Tales and Persona are pretty much my go to series for my JRPG fix.
I'm interested too, also, I'd like to ask if you mostly digital or physical releases. I'll probably end up buying the largest hard drive I can when I buy a PS4. Are game installs really big if your going physical releases only?
Already started this on 360 a few weeks ago and I'm a little more then a quarter of the way through the story. Still, really would have liked to play the PS3 version.
It's nice to finally get a taste of it and it's looking/sounding good, although I still wish they had given each of the main characters distinctively different outfits.
I have an imported Vita but use EU and AU copies of games and PSN accounts. Things can a bit confusing switching between XMB and games. The hardware is pretty much the same regardless of where you buy the consoles/handhelds anyway (I think the confirm/cancel switch is one of the few things they do change).
^ pretty much this. This article really should have been written early/mid PS3/360 gen. Towards the end of last gen and this gen those games have really taken off. It also helps that the Japanese have stopped trying so hard to westernize their games and we're getting localizations of games that normally wouldn't see the light of day over here. Nowadays you can never be sure what will be localized since the chances of it happening have magically increased for some reason.
I would think most of the Japanese buy the Vita version moreso because handhelds are more popular over there. That and I suppose it's easier to do multi-player that way (they can socialize with people in the same area).
The PS4 graphics look ok to me but I guess you can't expect it to be alot better since they have to consider the Vita as well.
I actually wanted a region free update for the handheld, it's the only reason I've held back on buying one as I'm not sure if I should get an American or European 3ds.
Nope, probably not going to happening in my lifetime and probably won't happen Australia by the time it happens in every other country.
Updating telecommunications infrastructure is expensive, by now, every country should be preparing or moving towards fibre optics (Australia has more or less dropped that plan... great).
I won't buy games digital because I haven't got internet capable of it, so I only buy physical, if I can't, I just don't...
this is just like the PS3 wasn't doing well it was doomed, the PS4 is doing well but apparently it's doomed.
I just buy the Playstations because they have most of the games I want to play. I'm fined with the PS4 being a very beefed up version of the PS3, it's pretty much what I want as long as I get the games I want (JRPGs, unique and interesting games, ect...).
These past few years have been great for PS3, especially if you like Japanese gam...
I've already plonked down the money from my Atelier Ayesha and Neptunia Victory preorders.
Why won't you take my money Square?!
So what options do I have if I want to play this game in Australia? Would I have to buy the non-existent UK version?
I would like the PS4 to have backwards capability in-case my PS3 dies (hopefully that won't happen until long after it's discontinued).
For me, 12 was easily the worst game in the series. I couldn't care for the characters or plot so I didn't care if any of the characters died or some bad happened to the world (or the battle system). At least it had the most content for a FF.
I considered 13 a mixed bag, decent characters (disliked most at the beginning, liked most by the end) decent music, great graphics, battle system was fast past but played itself for the most part but the plot was below average ...
I didn't even bother with Gran Pulse, I spent like 10 minutes there before I decided to continue due to the lack of anything actually being there. e.g. Towns, people, mini games, ect... FF13 was ok but it wasn't the Final Fantasy game I wanted it to be.
They really should finish the games already on their plate like Versus and it would be nice to see a kingdom hearts 3 since we have like a billion spin-offs now.
I never could understand why 12 got such high praise, I struggled to finish it because I couldn't care for the characters or plot of the game. For me it was the worst FF I've ever played.
On the upside the game did have a lot of content compared to 13 (still vastly prefer 13 over it though).
I think I still have a year or two of good gaming to go with it, I probably won't buy a PS4 until the end of this year or sometime next year. There are still games I want to buy for it and the PS4 has games coming that I want (assuming most of them get localized). I played my PS2 for about 2 years alongside my PS3 (played some great older titles I missed out on). I expect the same with PS3/PS4 until the PS4 really takes off games wise.
