TheEnd Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 But the PS3 is... a console! I never really enjoyed/liked the idea of PC gaming. If worst comes to worst and I'm somehow unable to import the games, that'll have to do... I was too impatient... I had to... continue the story... It was... too... engaging... Eh, that's a pretty baseless prejudice, especially since RPGs don't require reflexes or anything TitS is originally a PC series too - and while the PSP/PS3 ports might have some improvements, they also have loading times While it's a fact that you might be able to import your FC save if you get the PSP/PS3 sequels, that's literally irrelevant since you haven't done sidequests (the transfer data is pretty much sidequest-based) Also the sidequests are part of the story too, and the rewards are fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I hate long loading times...) But yeah, transferring save data sounds cool... Plus, even if it's a "baseless prejudice," it's a prejudice I... have in mind? Eh, I just like the idea of holding a controller in my hand and looking at a larger screen from farther away. Also, I've had the unpleasant experience of freezing hands when playing on emulators on the computer. (My hands get cold easily... even during warmer weather. -_-') Anyway, hm... maybe I'll play it again sometime (soon)... On a harder difficulty and doing all the sidequests. ^^ At least I got all the items in the ruins before that robot-thingamajig-last-boss-guy.

Well, I'm not necessarily talking about long loading times, it's just that the PC versions don't have them at allI suppose I can understand the console preference, though you can still plug an Xbox or PS3 controller into your PC and play like that, depending on your setup Regardless, I find keyboard play better than killing my thumb with a PSP never again The PC versions don't have alternate difficulty modes (in FC/SC at least), so I suppose that'd make them less attractive to you Also a word of advice SC closes FC's story neatly, while 3rd adds hooks to Zero/AO Just thought you'd like to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only loading times I noticed in the one on the PS Vita was between different regions and going in and out of building. Moving within a building generally had little affect. Anyway, if that's the amount of loading there is, then I can deal with that. Also, are the controls of a PSP cramped or something? Playing on the Vita was perfectly fine for me. No cramps at all. But I think the Vita is bigger, so... yeah. And yeah, difficulties... appeal to me. Mostly because of that feel of accomplishment. And the challenge, too. So 3rd isn't really needed, right? That's good to know. In that case, I might not get it... since the games are expe- Well, actually, at Amazon.co.jp, they're, like, ￥3200 (I probably will, though... XP) a piece. Well, except for SC, that is, which is like ￥4200. That's a total of about... $100 approximately? With import costs... Yeah, it's the importing that's a problem... (Would they even send the games to America...? I thought Amazon.co.jp was for... Japan only or something... But if that's the case, playasia should have it... probably...)

Maybe it's just me, I don't know - but it became yet another reason for me not to get a Vita, since I'd hate to buy an expensive thing and be unable to use it. >_>Well, 3rd is basically a fanservice pack It has side stories with pretty much the entire cast, playable characters that either aren't usually playable, or are only guests in SC, the entire story of a particular SC character (the only new character being related to him), and a few hints here and there about what's going to happen next All in all, it's totally worth it - I'm just saying that Estelle and Joshua's story pretty much comes to a conclusion in SC If you're planning to import, esterior.net has a guide for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided I have the funds, of course. I wouldn't spend money I don't have on trivial things. But fanservice is good! I like fanservice. Especially when I'm one of the fans... esterior.net...?

Anyway, bookmarked. Expensive electronics that can't be used are no better than junk!It's the good kind of fanservice too - as in, not softcore porn (I think I've heard something about Falcom having to censor a certain character's backstory in 3rd's ports so it could get a decent rating, but that's only one scene) I wouldn't quite call it a fansite - technically, it's about Falcom news in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who says "softcore porn" is bad fanservice, anyway? Yeah, I prefer... more decent stuff, so it's good to know that 3rd is like that. Ah, I see. Falcom in general. Well, as I become more and more interested in non-Nintendo RPGs/games in general, I think reading about those different games/companies is good... Seriously, I can't believe I've been missing out on all great - no, fantastic - games out there... Sora no Kiseki is one of the main reasons I want a PS3. Well, that and I want to play a Tales games that's not on the GameCube/Wii/3DS and Ni no Kuni. Especially Ni no Kuni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
