i dont know anyone on the internet either that saw these as meltdowns. I saw people upset about the rayman thing, but i never realised anyone saw that as a meltdown.

But to be OT, the biggest meltdown this gen and forever will be was the Xbox One reveal, Ive never ever seem more people upset on gaming forums or in real life.

Type 0 is much more rage worthy than the others.

SE said, if FFX/X2 sold well enough, they'd look at doing other FF releases.

They then said they were happy with the sales and even had stock issues in the West on the initial release due to shifting more than expected.

There was also a twitter campaign over what existing titles Western Vita owners wanted releasing in the West. FF Type 0 was one of the top titles only behind the Tales games. Showing a clear demand for the game on the system, even just as a PSP PSN release.

Then when SCEA's blog announced it for Vita. To then say "whoops we meant PS4". Just the final nail to rile people.

Look at the anger from Wii U owners over FIFA 15 not being on Wii U thread. If that makes no sense to you, Type 0 not coming to Vita makes even less sense. The game is done, the translation is already being done. It's actually less work than a reskin. FIFA 15 IS however coming to Vita (though it's FIFA 11 ported to Vita and reskinned 3 times).

So if you're saying SE not doing Type 0 on Vita makes perfect business sense, you can't also then say FIFA 15 being a no show on Wii U but coming out on Wii is idiotic/part of EAs agenda etc. Obviously the Wii U situation is so dire it's not even worth releasing an existing game on it. (I don't think this is the case, but the logic over Type 0 from people suggests it is)

I understand disappointment about Type-0 not coming to Vita. However, the way a lot of these so called "fans" are acting is terrible. Completely go against everything they fought for because it didn't come to their platform of choice. It's not SQEX job to pander to the Vita audience. Perhaps FFX HD was a test for Type-0 on Vita and it didn't perform to the levels that they wanted.

Handheld gamers wanted a handheld game to come out on a handheld platform. More importantly, they wanted a Western release of an existing game for a format they have access to.

This again misses the fact that the game already existed on the format they wanted it on. It wasn't asking for a new game to be made. I don't really understand what is so difficult to grasp in this.

The only real equivalent scenario I could think of, would be SMT IV finally getting announced for Europe, then them saying it's coming to PS4/XB1.

As a Vita owner myself. I would have liked for Vita to come. However, we're not entitled for a Vita release. A lot of these "Fans" are freaking out saying they hope SE fails or Type-0 fails? This is really pathetic. As FF fans we should be happy it's coming at all. Luckily, there's a fan translation for the "portable" people.

Square-Enix is a business, if they seen a reason to release it on Vita. It would be coming. Hell if the manfacturer doesn't want to support the damn thing, why would Square?

Fan translation is technically piracy though and ergo illegal.

I'm happy it's coming, however I prefer playing this type of game on the move. It'll be interesting to see how it fares as a PS4/X1 title. Most handheld - home console ports have generally been underwhelming and poorly received by the market.

Because Vita owners already disportionately buy their games in comparison to userbases that massively outnumber it and they are a business that wants to make money sound like good reasons to me.  

They announced the game for Vita. That is a huge part of the controversy everyone just likes to gloss right on over.  

No one thinks that.  I have yet to read anyone suggesting as much except for you. 

X1 DRM wins it for me.
