Agito coming to PSP

[Roto13]

Well that's good news for those of us who aren't Japanese. :P

Square Enix: Final Fantasy Agito XIII, Parasite Eve "Sequel" Are PSP Bound (http://kotaku.com/5032271/final-fantasy-agito-xiii-parasite-eve-sequel-are-psp-bound)

[Yar]

Now my PSP may have a use other than just homebrew and PSX emulation. :)

[Jessweeee♪]

The link text is too similarly colored to your gray text!

[Dragonsoul]

Great news! I'm pretty happy about this! :)!!!

[Dreddz]

Great news, nice to see Square doing a lot for the PSP. Still have no idea what this game is, hope its not a card battling game.

[Hyperion4444]

Another reason for me to buy a psp.
I was actually hoping for that one to come to the PSP.

[Yar]

The main character is "an unnamed character who uses the deck of cards as his weapon," so unless it's some Setzerawesomesauce character, I think we may be looking at Yu-Gi-Oh!-Final Fantasy XIII.

Which actually has me interested in the game. I'd be interested how they can turn Final Fantasy into a card battling game. I hope to god they don't screw it up. This could be the only game I'll buy for my PSP.

[Roto13]

Card battling in RPGs can be awesome. See Baten Kaitos. :P

[Ouch!]

So I don't have to pretend this game doesn't exist anymore? Cool.

[Dragonsoul]

Just research on internet, check this out...
Final Fantasy Agito XIII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Agito_XIII)

The game is amazing! It's the same exact team as FF VII: Before Crisis, FF VII: Crisis Core, and Kingdom Hearts: Coded. :)

[Hyperion4444]

nice

[Dr. Acula]

That's good news! Maybe I'll get it. But probably not.

[Dreddz]

A new scan if anyone's interested.

http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3562/123qg4wz4.jpg

I don't know what to think of this game really. I'm glad I have an opportunity to play it but from the looks of it it seems like a card battling game set in a.....god forbid....Japanese High school. I know all the Japanophile's out there will be happy but I can't stand this sort of thing. Reason why I couldn't get into Persona 3.

[Dragonsoul]

I don't think that was the setting of the store. One of the characters uses cards, but the other characters use different weapons.

[Hyperion4444]

Appearently not good for Square-Enix if there not making enought profit off thoses games, since it's the Japan Team who's makes DS game (Unless you prove me wrong on some games), and there profits barely pays the dept.

It won't be good for anyone if they close business by focusing there efforts in less profitable portables rather than concentrating in making console games like the PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and even PlayStation 2 (Espescially PlayStation and Nintendo since it's where there true fans are)

Blindlingly Making Games for the 360 where there are no true fans of Square-Enix (Except for a few tiny exception who didn't own a Xbox), may result in failure, making a game just because of the install base is truly no excuse to choose the Xbox 360 (No, really, there are more Wiis sold in the US than the Xbox 360)

[Lawr]

The game is set in a magic school named Akademeia

Well, at least there's War of The Lions ...

[Hyperion4444]

If Square-Enix is actually Multi-Platforming for the first time since the PlayStation 1, then why not give PSP owners more great games like Chrono Trigger?
That's sucks for me, I bought myself a PlayStation 3 thinking that there would be a strong Square-Enix support (aka: great games applenty), but Square-Enix has yet to release any game of any kind to the PlayStation 3. Why?
Why multi-platform a new Final Fantasy?

If anyone can explain to me Square-Enix's marketing strategy, I'd like to know.
If it makes sense, I may as well give you bragging rights that you'd be smarter than me, if only for a while.

Having Final Fantasy XIII Agito to PSP is great, but didn't Square-Enix said something like "To accomodate the most of our fans."?
Then I want Chrono Trigger Enhanced graphics for the PSP!

[Dreddz]

I don't see how you can be disappointed with what Square is offering the PSP. They are probably the PSP's greatest asset at the moment. Plus they are giving it alot of original content, the DS is more of a port machine. Is a straight port of Chrono Trigger that exciting?

And the reason it may seem they are snubbing the PS3 is because they are trying to make all companies neutral. Because Sony has two consoles on the market and Microsoft only one they are going to offer the 360 more exclusives than the PS3 but making up for the lack of PS3 support by offering more PSP titles. Look at who they are giving more content to, Sony is undoubtably getting more support. But really Nintendo are getting shafted the most, just look at their Wii support.

[Hyperion4444]

You just said it.
The Wii gets all and the most support while the PS3 only has 3 games, two was exclusif, one who was exclusif to the PS3 will be release first on the 360, with no annoucements of any futuristic PS3 games except for new Final Fantasy that we only assume that we would have.
I know you don't own a PS3, so you don't know how we would feel about this.
No one should ever take away Final Fantasy numbered series after seven from PlayStation.
PlayStation is the Global success of Final Fantasy since FFVII, there's no denying that.

It's all about money...

[Rostum]

Hyperion, please don't go waving around your "facts" without some more substantial proof and sourcing. From what I can tell, you're just basing your opinion off hearsay. Also, never assume.

And for the record, just because someone doesn't own a PS3 doesn't mean they don't know how you feel (I was sure Dreddz owns one anyway). Puh'lease, go cry in a corner, it's not a big deal at all.

[Dreddz]

Well for one I do own a PS3 and a 360. And I do know what you must be going through but I think you really need to grow up. You want more games from Square right? Then you should understand the financial aspect of creating these titles. Square need the money so making their games multiplatform is going to give them a lot more of it, which they can use to make even more games. And they will always support the PS3 unless the 360 makes a huge turn around in Japan, which its safe to say it won't.

The issues I have with FFXIII going to 360 differ from yours, for one it delays a game which seemed like it was never going to come out in our lifetime anyway and it makes the two consoles even more similar. I would of liked FFXIII to be one of the key games for the PS3 and the same with Bioshock to the 360. But alas, I can't have it my way and now I feel very depressed as a multi-console owner.

Bottom line though is that you should support the games, not the console.

[Hyperion4444]

Right, because I purchased a PlayStation 3 for Square-Enix games, it is a big deal.
All my above Facts are real 'perharps except it's about the money' the rest is true.

Is it just natural for me to express my disappointment towards the fact that Square-Enix did not list any kind of new games for the PlayStation 3 this year?
Especially when they Announced Star Ocean for the Xbox 360 instead of the PS3, a game that was um... PS2?

It's seems too obvious for me that it would like the PS3 to fail.

This isn't the case of not supporting the game.
All I said was...
I want Chrono Trigger on the PSP!

[Roto13]

Appearently not good for Square-Enix if there not making enought profit off thoses games, since it's the Japan Team who's makes DS game (Unless you prove me wrong on some games), and there profits barely pays the dept.

What the hell are you talking about? Do you really think Squenix would keep making DS games if they weren't profitable?


It won't be good for anyone if they close business by focusing there efforts in less profitable portables rather than concentrating in making console games like the PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and even PlayStation 2 (Espescially PlayStation and Nintendo since it's where there true fans are)

Yeah, taking a game that's already made and sticking it on another platform for everyone to buy another copy of is just financial suicide. Logic isn't your strong suit, is it?


Blindlingly Making Games for the 360 where there are no true fans of Square-Enix (Except for a few tiny exception who didn't own a Xbox), may result in failure, making a game just because of the install base is truly no excuse to choose the Xbox 360 (No, really, there are more Wiis sold in the US than the Xbox 360)

What makes you think there are no Squenix fans with 360s? Lots of people with PS2s went out and bought Xboxes this generation. Not everyone is a screaming fanboy.


Plus they are giving it alot of original content, the DS is more of a port machine. Is a straight port of Chrono Trigger that exciting?

Chrono Trigger is the only Squenix port for DS I can think of. Squenix is putting original content on the DS, too. Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, The World Ends With You, remakes of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games, Chocobo's Dungeon (I believe), some Dragon Quest spinoffs I can't remember (:P) and so on.


You just said it.
The Wii gets all and the most support

The Wii has Chocobo's Dungeon, a Dragon Quest spinoff, and a Crystal Chronicles WiiWare game. It's not getting the most support. (Obviously, it's not getting none at all, either.


Right, because I purchased a PlayStation 3 for Square-Enix games, it is a big deal.
All my above Facts are real 'perharps except it's about the money' the rest is true.

You're constantly hauling BS out of your ass in every thread. Stop it.


Especially when they Announced Star Ocean for the Xbox 360 instead of the PS3, a game that was um... PS2?

And they announced Final Fantasy VII for PS1 instead of the N64, a game that was um... SNES?


It's seems too obvious for me that it would like the PS3 to fail.

Well that's because you're a paranoid fanboy.

[Dreddz]

I didn't mean to say that the DS is getting no original content, I just think they port/remake a bit too many things on it though. Those 3D remakes are still cash-in's in my eyes.

It's seems too obvious for me that it would like the PS3 to fail.
I'm sure Square don't want any console to fail, how would their multi-platform titles sell well if the PS3 were dead? I'd imagine their PS3 support will greatly increase once the PS3 hits its stride, especially in Japan (ie, after FFXIII).

Here's a thought, maybe you can look past Square Enix for a second and see all the other great RPG's coming out. I think your giving Square a bit too much praise than is really due, FFXIII is the only thing worth waiting for by them anyway.

[Hyperion4444]

Wow, you guys get all raddled up just because I said I wanted Chrono Trigger for the PSP!
Lol, I think what I've said upsets you more than my own personal dissapointment.

When people took the time to say how much they would want Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360, we took the time to lisen to what you had to say, but if we were to express our feeling it's suddenly not ok?

I don't want to become a robot, becoming emmotionless that you can't feel love that does nothing but obey his master's command.


I think I have the right to my own personal opinion, and freedom to speak my mind.
Unless someone forgot to mention to me that it was some kind of crime?

I want Chrono Trigger for the PSP!
I never played it before and I don't want to spend 140$ on the NDS that I won't even use all that much.

[Hyperion4444]

It's not that DS Games aren't profitable, it's just not profitable enought.
Square-Enix lost 28M$ in a month, the month after (FFVII:CC) they made 25M$ profits clear off a 275M$ revenue!

Most Square-Enix games are DS theses days, now they'll focus more on the PSP (It's what they said)
I can only assume that if Square-Enix is not making enought money, it's because they haven't released their Final Fantasy XIII main course and just working there way in inter-courses instead of console production, the PS2 was a gold mine for Square-Enix.

Well, it's new territory for SE, they haven't made any Xbox game, just like PlayStation, it's a risk. But back then Sony was publishing FFVII.

I meant more Nintendo than Wii. (But it's still more than PS3 games, that is at zero)

I'm sure people complaint back then, so why should now be different?
(because I don't really care about SO? yeah. drop that...)

Nah, because you want to see me fail.

Nice try, kiddo. A big pet peeve of mine is people who run around spreading lies and assumptions without anything to back it up. I don't devote my life to trying to make people out to be wrong, but when someone definitely IS wrong, yeah, I feel the urge to make sure they know they're not fooling anyone.

But Leeza is right. I'm putting you on ignore because not once since you showed up here have you ever said anything that was worth reading, because all you do is spread your whiney little fanboy bile and "facts" that you can't back up with anything but prayer.

And Final Fantasy XIII too.

I surely want Final Fantasy XIII Agito. (Super Stardust PSP too!)

Lol. It sounds just like a primary school teacher!

Anyway, I think I'll still be getting a PSP at some point, more for Tactics & Crisis Core than for Agito (this might change once I actually know what Agito is about).

About Sony losing money on DS, I doubt it. If you look at their Financial Statements for 2007-2008, they made an operating income of 8800 million Yen on their Offline Games Division. Even after other expenses, their profit is around 8000 million Yen. And the vast majority of that Offline Game Division was DS.

[Roogle]

I cannot seem to find any information about the plot or the gameplay of this title. Is this because it was originally scheduled to be released as a mobile title only?

[Yar]

Lol. It sounds just like a primary school teacher!

Uhh, hello! EoFF! :p

The one thing I'm worried about is if it will be a game for PSP with just phone graphics. Yuck.

Have you seen the Japanese phone graphics?

They're amazing. Just look at some Agito screens.

[Dreddz]

I believe this game was being developed for phones that hadn't even come out yet when it was announced. I wonder how the Japanese take towards buying brand new phones for just one game.

People think its being scrapped for phones anyway after it was announced for PSP. I wouldn't be surprised. Nor would I care.

[Hyperion4444]

I wonder how long it will take to have Agito on PSP...

[arcanedude34]

Knowing Square, it could either be out before you can blink, or you'll be old and grey by the time you take the first steps into Akademia...

[Hyperion4444]

They aren't the fastest with Final Fantasy XIII and the many delays.
A demo was supposed to be released in, what, Fall 2007, spring 2008? (Magazine EGM, other sources other dates)
This game stated 2008, early 2009 "Only for PS3" now is 2009/2010 and Multi-Platform.
It seems odd to now Multi-Platform Final Fantasy XIII after all the Massifs interview stating how great the PlayStation 3 is evolving games and the best system in the world (And still is the best system in the world but it's a bit of an hypocrite attitude to just go out and multi-platforming Final Fantasy XIII after speaking how great the PS3 is)

[champagne supernova]

VII was also heavily delayed. The game was much better because of it.

I don't mind if they delay XIII (within reason, I don't want it to be in 2035 or something), as long as they use that time to make sure the game is as good as they can get it.

[Big D]

I'm going to cautiously say that it seems like a reasonably interesting and promising title, judging from the (slightly sloppy) description on Wikipedia. Not a 'card fighting game', thankfully, since only one character's armed that way.
Having the main characters as students at a magical combat academy seems rather derivative, but presumably no more ridiculous than FFVIII.

[Hyperion4444]

In FFVIII, they said it was 'where Fantasy meets Reality' in some article.
Since they aim for teens, it's somewhat natural to have an academy...

Well, they all look good.

Even after other expenses, their profit is around 8000 million Yen. And the vast majority of that Offline Game Division was DS.

Same here, I'm planning on getting a PSP not only because of Agito, but homebrew and other games as well. :)

In FFVIII, they said it was 'where Fantasy meets Reality' in some article.
Since they aim for teens, it's somewhat natural to have an academy...

Well, they all look good.

I can't remember where in the world I heard this, but I've been thinking that they're a group of assassins or something, and they have uniforms S:


...I could have just made that up, though. I really don't remember xD


ANYWAY, I hope this is something I can play without playing the other FFXIII games, because this might be the only one I can play.
