お問い合わせの件につきまして、現在「スターオーシャン

ございません。

Roughly translated this means:

Concerning the inquiries, at the present time we have no intention of releasing "Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope" on "Playstation 3".


Now, my Japanese isn't the best, but the translation is actually "No schedule", as oppose to yours which states "no intention"

 

Now, I'm no fool here, not an exact date is HARDLY "no intention". no?


Actually it means something in between. "Schedule" in the rigorous sense would be 計画 (keikaku). 予定 (yotei) definitely contains the nuance of "intention" imho. But I do not claim to be an expert of the Japanese language, either. However, 予定 definitely doesn't mean "scheduled date".

EDIT: I see, the Google translator says 予定 = scheduled. Well, as I said I think it's more like something in between. But go ahead and replace intention by schedule in my original post:

Concerning the inquiries, at the present time "Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope" is not scheduled for being released on "Playstation 3".

Wow, I never realized that there were so many star ocean fans. SO3 was sub-par in my opinion even though I dived head first because it was published by S-E. I think people spend so much time bickering over games that most don't even buy topics they need to fan the fire of the console war. Have fun arguing guys.

Star Ocean 4 : The Last Hope....for the 360 in Japan

the name is so fitting

 Sunk so low to trolling......sad really PS fanboys are so bitter.



PS3 has countless other games and has its own majour exclusives, this isnt even a majour game for the PS3, and i have no intrest in buying it.

Actually you're wrong. This Sony fanboy is bashing Sony for being dumbasses and not taking care of us JRPG fans. MS must want my business more.

The only JRPG released in a year and a half is Enchanted Arms if you can call that a game. Disgaea 3 & Valkyria Chronicles are both coming this summer but are STRATEGY RPG's which I don't care much for. And to boot, VC is set during WWII...Yay, guns in a JRPG.  And Disgaea 3 has worse graphics than most of my psp games.

When will those major exclusives release, all I keep hearing is announcements of those games and they haven't released yet.

On Topic: It's actually pretty sad that this came across, its obvious Microsoft is keeping Sony from getting the exclusives it needs to get the Japanese to jump aboard. 

So sad....

This is what happens when MS pays for exclusives. Companies like Square Enix who are losing money when they make long term big projects like DQIX and FF13 need instant cash will take things like these just to keep a steady flow. I'd love to say that's great strategy by MS but in no way do I respect paying off companies to get whatya want.

Ya Sony doesn't pay for exclusives? Haha ya right.


Never said them or Nintendo didn't.  Don't overread.

I agree Microsoft must really care about the JRPG gamers, seriously. I mean everytime you look around there is a signed exclusive to the console.

Like I said Microsoft is doing an awesome job, taking the exclusives from Sony :)



I'm glad that the company with deepest pockets gets the advantage, rather than the company that builds the more solid machine. It's not at all absurd, no. Up with capitalism, because CONSUMERS M SMRT!

 Oh, and PS fanboys are the only ones like this? Xbox and Nintendo fanboys are just as bad.
