So Exist Archive is out in japan, it's a spiritual successor to Valkyrie Profile made by the same team that made the original Valkyrie Profile.
Anyone import it here? Anyone waiting for the western release?

Why couldn't it be 2D? These graphics are ugly as fuck.
I liked the DS game.
I'm still waiting for the day Japan releases something that's not anime jrpg garbage
>Sold 37k units
It's dead Jim
>>321258986
Couldn't agree more
>>321259696
Flopping in japan almost guarantees a western release
>>321259526
Your mom released you an we all know how that turned out.
>>321258814
this looks like fucking shit
>>321260701
It's past your bedtime.
>>321259526
>meme souls
>metal gear solid the phantom meme
Ok
>>321260701
Who cares how it looks
>>321259816
>Lost Dimension sold 1/10 of that and still got localized
>>321258986
This. The graphic style is so hideous I can't even consider playing this game.
Has it been confirmed to be localized? I've been thinking about just importing it.

I would not be surprised if that graphical style played a role in it flopping.
>>321258814
I take issue to the fact that everything hsa a giant head and lopsided bodies
>>321258814
The character models look kinda weird, but I think everyone is used to chibi shit since most people have a 3DS and this is a step above that.
That being said, everything else looks beautiful.
>>321265035
This looks great, gonna grab it on Vita when they localized it.
>>321266131
> gonna grab it on Vita when they localized it.
Well there ARE some pretty good games still so don't write vita off so fast, maybe there is something to your liking.
>>321258986
Looks like Hotshot models.
>>321266279
What? I literally just got Trails of Cold Steel today. I have no reason to pay more for portable games, even if I have a PS4. These games will be made for the Vita first, so I'm not writing it off at all.
>>321266321
This game is pretty great
Tennis one too
Are there any western journalists who cover games like this?
It sucks that the only place you hear about these games is 4chan.
>>321266597
Right here >>321265035
Seems to have some points to it.
>>321266407
>game apparently flopped in nip
>gonna buy vita when they localize this game!
>hey don't write vita off so fast!
I know i have shit humor but that wasn't so subtle as to explain the joke man
>>321258814
why not just make Valkyrie Profile 3 without all that weebshit semi-chibi designs
>>321259526
then go play yakuza
>>321266912
I never said I was going to buy a Vita, I already had one for a little while now. They will localize it, everything has been localized.
>>321266995
Maybe budget? I dunno, I don't think the models are any issue as long as they are consistent. Sprites are probably more costly nowadays.
>>321266995
pretty insane how good VP2 still looks today
also if the new fucking langrisser got localized, this could get localized too
>>321267142
the models are awful because it's trying to be chibi but not quite. It's like that Romancing SaGa remake
>>321266995
Probably tried to mimic the first one.
IMO it doesn't look good with 3D, they should've cell-shaded it at least
>>321267310
Not really, even full chibi looks stupid. Bravely Default has much worst models imo, and people seem to be fine with that.
Generally speaking, these look like Persona 4 character models, and have more detail than most chibi stuff. I don't really see it being bad, just a real offset from the series.
>>321266995
Because VP is a Square IP?
>>321267292
The fuck is this.
>>321267292
Jesus Christ almighty, is this abomination... what Langrisser turned into?
My poor heart
>>321268717
Yeah, Langrisser is dead. It had a great run.
>>321267292
Langrisser used to look so good, but now it looks like this. Is it really that much more expensive to do sprite work vice this godawful cg?
>>321269789
Sprite artists are rarer than unicorns supposedly. Nobody learns how to do it.
Waiting for localization, buying it for Vita.
Generic as shit character models aside, it looks decent from a gameplay perspective. They shouldn't have done 2d portraits though as it clashes pretty terribly.
>>321270134
It's Japan. Just throw money at an animation studio to do some decent resolution character animations.
