[News] Parasite Eve 3 Announced

Lame, stupid, moronic, and just plain assholes. My description for the Square side of SE at the moment. Its a bad business move, it alienates the entire world except Japan, pissing off many fans who hope for an actual console made sequel.

Aya doesn't look sexy in cell phone graphics that's for sure. I'm a girl and even I find her hot, and since Aya is obviously a icon in the series, and a sex symbol, you'd think they're smart enough to know that only current and next gen CONSOLES can exploit that, and they can't even do that. While I don't condone the whole female sex symbol deals like Lara or the DOA girls, you would think Square stupidity isnt low enough to not try to exploit that. Everything they are doing is opposite to what a business who wants moolah would do. I mean, Aya can't grow old thanks to the mitchondria! Like Kos Mos, it makes her the perfect poster child and sex symbol cause unlike Snake who grew old rapidly, she can NEVER grow old physically! Best way to show that? HOT Next gen graphics! They are IDIOTS to not use that.

And I know that its a lame move to put it on a dingy system that's suppose to be used to communicate, not play franchise sequel games.

God this is all just dumb... The only good thing that came out of it is that hot image of Aya. Makes me miss my Aya poster back in Hong Kong.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Probably cause more people have a cell phone in Japan than they do have a PSP. Which is true, since cell phones in Japan can do just about anything, you can put credit in it and use it to pay for food at 7/11 and vending machines. You can surf the web, and just about every person who has a job needs a cell phone.

Which makes it even more xenophobic since they know its a trend and technology that's only avalaible in Japan.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Like I said, strictly Japan, not even the Hong Kong or Taiwanese gamer geeks can get their hands on it. You're gonna need to get online through the phone to play it in the first place, meaning even if you got a useless phone that you can't talk on from Japan, you will need to be IN Japan to get the game in the first place. And who the hell is gonna buy a phone that won't work anywhere else?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Except the only people that will get pissed off are people who are NOT from Japan, and Square doesn't really give a crap about them.

As for the more expensive model phones, well, it shows that Square doesn't care about their fanbase either, considering most of them prob can't afford the phones in the first place. Its like an elitist attitude on top of the xenophobe.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

No its not, its just phasing out of Square's market. Capcom and Konami has always catered to all markets fairly. I mean when MGS gets a uber special edition, the US gets it as well, for example. Capcom even ported the US version of RE4 to the Asian region code so Asian fans can play it easier, since more people in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China will know more English than Japanese. Asian versions ever hardly happen, but even Sony has done them like for ICO and Colossus, with Chinese subtitles.

No, this is all Square's ridiculous xenophobic doing.

I was speaking idiomatically.

koifox, they could have easily done the same thing on any other handheld, be it a DS or a PSP. It would have better graphics AND can be sold to different markets. Cell phones means no one else other than the Japanese can play it, and regardless on whether or not we get a console sequel after this, the fact of the matter is that we will never know the story to THIS title and have to rely on translators who are willing to play and translate. A true fan would wanna know any side story of their fav series, why do you think people played KH COM despite it being card based?

This being only on cell phone, regardless if its a side story, a sequel or anything, is a clear sign of xenophobe, or as Racin has also stated, ethnocentric. Other fanbases should have the right to access this, but they chose not to. That's what we're pissed about.

How many games since the SNES haven't they been releasing stateside?

There are games they haven't released, maybe not so much on FFs side, but other franchises like Front Mission, Itaki street, and of course every cell phone game. The real kicker to me is the international releases, like KH2 Final Mix. If Kojima can sell MGS3 Subsistence, why can't Square do the same? Other companies may have not released every title of their franchises, like Castlevaynia, but unlike Square, they are trying to fix it. Square only released titles that related to FF, anything other than that they seem to deem it not worthy enough of a remake or port or re releases.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

COM is not horrible, but not everyone clicked with the card system. They still played it anyway though, cause they wanna know the story. With this PE sidestory, we can't even try to experience it. Have to rely on fan translations.

Most amazing jew boots

My point is I at least like the OPTION, and we don't even have that.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
