Dragon-Archon Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 That just proves you don't know what you're missing. On the contrary, I played it and didn't find it interesting at all. Vita > 3DS . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awf9495 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) On the contrary, I played it and didn't find it interesting at all. Vita > 3DS . For me, the systems are actually pretty close though I would probably give Vita the edge. As an RPG fan though, I figured you would be more interested in the 3DS as there are some great JRPG's on there - the Fire Emblems, SMTIV, Persona Q, the Bravely Defaults, the Etrian Odysseys, etc. Edited November 3, 2016 by awf9495 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, there are some great RPGs for the Vita too. Some I enjoyed are Persona 4 Golden, Ys Memories of Celceta, Tales of Hearts R, Demon Gaze (this one's definitely a hidden gem), Operation Abyss New Tokyo Legacy, and Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment.

I agree that there are some great JRPG's on the Vita. Persona 4 Golden is my favorite game of all time and Celceta is the first game I actually made a conscious effort to platinum. Digimon Story is my runner up for game of the year so far. In the 999 topics, I see many that are taking good natured shots at the DS/3DS and that doesn't bother me in the least, but what I am curious about is that if funds aren't an issue, why would any fan of JRPG's not want the best of both worlds?

Nice, I see you haven't played Demon Gaze. I definitely recommend it.

For me it's not worth it to get a 3DS for only a handful of games, that's also why I don't have a Wii-U just for Bayonetta 2 or an Xbox 360 for only Halo and Gears of War.

I will cross my fingers for a Demon Gaze flash sale appearance sometime down the road. Thanks for the rec. I can respect that, though you might just be surprised at the quality of the 3DS RPG library if you do eventually pick one up. Of course, I traded enough stuff in to get a Vita solely for Persona 4 Golden and bought an original Xbox just because I couldn't wait to play KOTOR so you may not want to listen to me. Oh, and I fixed the reasons to purchase a 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Oooo, think there'll be a physical release for PS4 too? (I prefer discs just so I can add to my box collection) Yep, both versions will be physical. And you should play it on Vita, therefore, buying a Vita For me, the systems are actually pretty close though I would probably give Vita the edge. As an RPG fan though, I figured you would be more interested in the 3DS as there are some great JRPG's on there - the Fire Emblems, SMTIV, Persona Q, the Bravely Defaults, the Etrian Odysseys, etc. But Vita simply wins in JRPG business =D but what I am curious about is that if funds aren't an issue, why would any fan of JRPG's not want the best of both worlds? Having additional thing you hardly use is not really cost efficient =D I see that on myself with PS4 PSP, once I got Vita, I completely stopped playing on it despite it having enormous amount of games I would like to play (frankly, even bigger than 3DS ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Xbox One is backwards compatible with The Witcher 2... who knows if Vesperia will ever be added though.

Since when has gaming ever been about cost efficiency? This sounds like me getting a Xbox One just for Sunset Overdrive. I keep waiting for XB1 to give me a reason to go multi-console this gen and while I am intrigued by Sunset, Dead Rising 3, Ori, and Gears 4; there hasn't been that one exclusive like KOTOR for the original Xbox or Oblivion (wasn't announced for the PS3 at release) for the 360. On topic (because I am mostly responsible for taking it off the rails), I would be interested in replaying 999 but not for $40 and I don't want to stack plats so wouldn't replay VLR. Maybe if it goes on sale or if 999 is sold separately digitally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awf9495 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Since the time importing became a thing I've imported exactly one title in all of my years of gaming, and it was a DS game from England (Last Window: The Secret of Cape West for anyone curious). If I understood more than a dozen words in Japanese, I'm sure that number would be much higher but I see no point in playing something that I don't understand.

MosesRockefeller Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) No need. There is a perfectly good dub out there. Don't let the purists tell you otherwise, there are some awesome English dubs for recent Japanese games. I haven't played ZTD or the fully-voiced 999 port yet, but if they're even half as good as the VLR dub, they're just as good if not better than most Western voice casts. And it's not just the dub, it's also the excellent English translation and cultural jokes (e.g. the Star Wars and Star Trek references in VLR). VLR proves that good dubs and localizations are possible. I'm glad I'm not the only one who appreciates them. Back on topic, I might be tempted to replay 999 and VLR since I finished VLR way back in July 2014. That's enough time to have forgotten most of the puzzles and minor plot points.

Now we just need to create the Phonewave (name subject to change) so we can send D-mails to our past selves in order to make such a thing possible. Or maybe we could SHIFT our consciousnesses to a different history. Either method works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuentinCle95 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) I'm kindof wondering how they will pull off Spoiler the Double Screen twist at the end of 999 on just one screen. That was a genius moment when it happened on the DS and some of the brilliance will surely be lost on a single screen. But anyways, I'm looking forward to this collection very much! 999 is in my top 3 favourite games of all time and ZTD was in my top 3 games of 2016. Haven't had the chance to play VLR yet and I can't wait! Edited January 6, 2017 by QuentinCle95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
