@Bobobiwan That would be cool indeed. I guess the problem is that the (huge) save file contains only one world tour progression and only one creation character. Make me wish memory cards were still a thing.
@PuppetMaster Just wait. The merchant is a powerful archetype I bet they will indeed sell a new version if the game down the line, along a switch 2 release. The game is all over the place technically so I wouldn’t be surprised if a an enhanced port for switch 2 took some time to develop.
The game is a blast and Sega is not holding back on promotion and post release support. I totally get why they felt like they could playfully throw some shade at MK World. Hope we get to see a lot of Sega free crossover characters.
As someone else said, musician are canceling events in general: it's not strictly a PS thing.
WIth that said, as someone who regularly attends FF Distant Worlds concerts, I'd say that the focus on multiple IPs is a drawback - I might be interested in hearing GoW soundtrack played live but could't care less about some of the other offerings.
There is also a quality problem: these soundtracks are good but it's nowhere near Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest level. I have no desire to listen to Uncharted or Astrobot's music played by an orchestra, though I think it's good and works more than well in game.
Welp, if persona 3 reload is their template, they sure need to improve. Include all the additional content from previous releases of p4 and please, please, for the love of god, don’t use a graphic engine that feels like 10-15 years dated on release date. What’s the point of remaking the game if it looks like a ps3 release?
Waiting for a sale. Too many games and wrong launch price. This is an absolute gem but we played it about 5 times by now, should be retailing for 40€ tops.
I hope they can come back to their senses and revert this decision. We can watch the final of the football World Cup for free but have to pay to stream Capcom’s Pro tour? C’mon!
I would rather pay for a CPT costume / stage package and contribute to the game that way.
The preview article sounded amazing so I clicked on the video: I am not trying to hate on this project, but I am not impressed at all. Idk...I am definitely not their target demographic, though.
Thank you for the useful list! That discount on Kakarot is tempting as hell. Might indulge.
On a side note: I don’t fully understand how we have come to describe games with content we can decide to skip, like Forza Horizon or Rebirth, as bloated and celebrate products like Metaphor (or really any Atlus game) that inflict hours of pseudo-deep dialogue on us in a tunneled game structure. This comes from having platinumed the game last week.
Crimson seems really well realized. Even though I have never been a fan of her, she is a diverse addition to the game. Looking forward to Alex and Ingrid.
I am currently on my 4th playthrough, trying to get all the outfits they added with the “complete edition” hopefully can go back to Xion to explore this new quests
Are you guys hitting A-rank in time trial with these limited customization options in the demo? I managed to get t it just for one track.
Recommend your driver/vehicle if you do! Edit: got all 3. The first track just needs skill and using Sonic with the fastest kart you can build in the demo.
Some kind of portability has to be expected and will be seen on Microsoft side as well.This is very common for pc portables and given how much the Switch was more a sequel to the PSP/Vita than the 3DS or the sheer amount of times Nintendo got away with murder in the “stealing ideas” department, the hot takes from Nintendo fans seem a little disingenuous.
TBH I wonder why should anyone bring anything to Xbox at this point? Look at FF16. it's a minor platform with users that tend to rent games instead of buying them. I wouldn't be too surprised if Microsoft games itself changed its main focus to PC and PlayStation.

Not really feeling the character design tbh, for the only reason that she looks a bit too generic.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 'Will Be Loved by Everyone', Says Director
Can't wait. For me Rebirth is a master course on what a JRPG should play like in the present day. Too many JRPGs are playing it way too safe.
Re: Capcom 'Reviewing' Price of Pay-Per-View Street Fighter 6 Finals Following Fan Disbelief
They should be reviewing the price to FREE, as it’s the only way anybody should be watching a streamed VG event.

Re: The Metaphor: ReFantazio Anniversary Event Was Just Atlus Trying to Sell a New Digital Edition
The official guidebook is almost perfect! Lots of information and strategies - they don’t do it like these anymore.
Would love some kind of free form dlc post ending - I something like the Answer in P3FES. It really would match the game.

It’s a bit of a small demo compared to the network test - but I will keep playing if the data carries of over

Nice review, it seems wonderful! I am a bit scared that @ShogunRok likes it so much, though, as our taste in JRPG is reliably different.
Re: 'More People Will Experience Our World': Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Sheds PS5 Exclusivity
I bet those 27 copies they will sell on Xbox will help them reach their realistic and reasonable sell targets.
All the merrier though. Part 2 is the best game I played this gen alongside BG3
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined's PS5 Characters Are Based on Real-Life Models
A Similar process to Mother/Mother 2/ Earthbound (masterpiece!) and Fantasian.
I like the results overall but I think HD 2D would have been better!
