[News] Parasite Eve 3 Announced

This is a bit of a shock o_O. I swear, SE is shooting itself in the foot in regards to their non-Japanese markets. They have to be aware of PE's fanbase in the states, and they are quite obviously abandoning them. I mean, playing games on a cell phone is a fun diversion when you have nothing else, but damn, that's what the PSP and DS are for. A mobile port, like say Oblivion and Saints Row did, would be a viable thing, but a full-blown sequel? Shoot me now.

How ya doing, buddy?

Fear of the foreign. It kinda makes sense for the argument at hand. Square almost does seem afraid to release their best to the non-Japan market. Think about how long it took Square to release FF2 and 3 over here, and think about how many pined for games are still never coming here. It really does seem like Square fears us. Or at least fears the idea of a game not selling well.

Besides, the Japanese are well known as Xenophobes. They even have a term (gaikokujin kyoufu shou) describing it as a medical condition.

How ya doing, buddy?

Its more or less the fact that the game has a large non-Japanese fanbase that is getting ignored in the discussion of whether or not a true sequel will be made. I'd say we have good reason to be perturbed.

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

(Also, anyone know if anyone ever translated the Xenogears novels that Square put out or if they were any good?)

XG Perfect Works was pretty damn interesting. It's not much of a translation in terms of the images in it and everything, but some site called u-tic.org (lol, Xenosaga pun), put out a translation on GameFaqs.
