Well, as I liked IU I'm very much looking forward to "Spikey-hair in Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace" or whatever this JRPG is called. ;)
I personally wish they'd leave the original Japanese voices in place and just subtitle the game: I switched Lost Odyssey to Japanese after one or two battles in English and it added a lot for me (the quality of the Japanese voice acting just seems a lot higher). |

You got to hand it to farty: Even if you ignore him he still manages to dictate the direction of a comments thread... :(
And bmxbandit, are you sure you're not farty's (from his perspective) evil twin? I kind of start to suspect that over 50% of EG posts is created by farty or one of his other accounts... ;) |

I thought Blue dragon and at least LO did alright? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong though.
Also SO4 wouldn't have sold 1 million even if it had been released on both system. The Japanese userbase isn't that big yet. I must admit that SO could have sold a bunch on PS3 though, seeing as there is a dire lack of JRPG's at the moment, but even White Knight didn't sell more than 200k copy's in one week over in JP.

You know, pretty much one of the reasons SO 4 is Xbox exclusive (for now atleast, who knows) is that SO 4 is developed by Tri-Ace, and it uses the same engine as Infinite undiscovery, MS paid for infinite undiscovery. Also, i heard that when they started developing SO 4 the PS3 compilers/devkits wasn't even out . I dunno, it just something i read somewhere soi'm unsure about that last bit.

@bmxbandit
"Star Ocean 4 only sold 17,000 in its 2nd week, the LTD total is 179,000, as this rate it'll be lucky to reach 250K ... all the 360 JRPGs have also bombed in the US so I doubt it'll be any different for SO4. " So 4 was supply constrained second week. It was out of stock. Blame SE for not shipping enough, not the 360. And Lost Odessey, Blue Dragon , Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery has all sold decent for a JRPG. 500k+ , No JRPG on PS3 has sold more than that (not that there are many), and the only JRPG game that sold over 500k+ on Wii is Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors. So, instead of bashing JRPGs on 360 and the 360 and being a Sony Fanboy(tm) , do some research before you present everything as fact.. |

He does, he reads random blogs and considers the opinions there as fact. Everyone knows if you want to believe something strongly enough and write "fact" at the end of your sentences then it becomes fact. :) |

People, do not reply to bmxbandit. Life is much sweeter when you ignore the idiot.
