Xbox 360's answer to Final Fantasy 14.

It's... just so weird though... I mean, this is already a PC game right?

So... it's a port of a PC game... that only sells in Japan... on the 360...

 

Maybe they're hoping the Monster Hunter Tri hits big over the west and that this can ride the coatails?

I can't figure out the logic.


Maybe they're trying to appeal to a certain audience?

Try finding logic in all the JRPGs MS has paid for.


Didnt Square Enix say FF14 will likely come to 360 at announcement. After the Sony announcement, Square said it wasnt fully exclusive just going there first.

Well it looks Capcom really don't want a successful Wii game. Good for them.

Well, Wii version would have needed HDD expansion to work and that would have limited sales a lot. MMO's generally require HDD (even FF XI on PS2 required HDD expansion) for future updates. This requires HDD on 360 too so owners of plain 360 Arcade can't play this. I don't quite understand why they didn't port to PS3 though...

Really? This was the X360 premier title Capcom was talking about?

My god a port of a PC game released ages ago?


Monster Hunters is quite big in Japan. Alot of people hate PC gaming. And many will love the fact a console has the game. Could boost sales, might not.

As for the secret project game from Capcom. Uh no. That is a Natal game. This is not.

Probably won't boost much at all.

And clearly when I said "X360 Premier Title", that was on the teaser website in the corner but clearly a port of a 2 yr old PC port regardless whether MH is popular or not is not what some would call a "Premier Title". It's kinda underwhelming to be honest. I don't care about the secret project Natal game from Capcom. I wasn't referring to it.

 



ughhh i woke up early for this!!!!
colored me SUPER MEGA DISAPPOINTED
gotta shower to pick up my Mass Effect 2 copy

Now that the SD slot can address up to 32GB cards, I'd say no HDD is a non-issue.  FFXI, MHFO, Nobunga Online, etc could all be done on Wii.

Of course, I'm not sure Nintendo really cares that they're missing out MHFO when it's really just MH2 at it's core...



If I had made a list of the top 50 games I hope Capcom announces, this would have probably been somewhere in the trash bin. I was wrong in assuming this was just trickery used to announce a 360/PS3 multiplat, but now I wished I was right, and Capcom was making something original here.



Tag: Became a freaking mod and a complete douche, coincidentally, at the same time.



I'm still going to pick it up or at least give it a try. Should be cool.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Weird...

No PS3 version?

Expect a PS3 version.

I wouldn't.  It's really not worth the effort.
