I already played it on the 360, but seeing as I don't have my 360 anymore I was hoping it would come to the PS3. I never really thought it would, but I still had the dream. I have the Japanese version for the PS3 though.
Well that sucks. I heard they added a bunch of stuff for the PS3 version. I never finished it on 360, and I was hoping to play through it again on PS3 :(

Does Japanese version have English text/VO? If so not so bad then, but still a big portion of sales lost for PS3. It's Japanese only with no subs apprently.
I can't believe MS would do that, I was waiting patiently for the PS3 version to be localized, but it never happened.Tales of Vesperia was the only reason I bought a 360. I didn't think MS even cared about that game.

Are you serious? If you paid someone money to do something for you and after payment received decided not to keep their end of the bargain, you wouldn't have a problem with that? Also, ALL three companies do this by the way, it's called "teh exkclus111ive!".

It was obvious that they paid for the exclusivity and I doubt they care much about the game being multiplatform in Japan, since the 360 ain't that huge over there, ( even though a ton of people bought a 360 for that game when it came out and got pissed ocne the PS3 version came out:lol: ).
However I'm not sure if the comparison they made with Heavy Rain was correct, did Microsoft fund the project like Sony did for Heavy Rain and publish it?:?

have you met MS?
I'm talking about that game in particular. I didn't think Tales of Vesperia was that big a game in the west, so why did they care? I thought they were all about keeping games like Gears of War and Halo exclusive. It's all about teh shooterzz these days.

it is alll about shooters and they did this to obviously undercut the fans on the ps3,even tho the 360's core audience is shooters

Microsoft fronted some of the development costs for TOV. Still didn't matter for the PS3 Japanese Version of TOV to be multiplat though. Microsoft knew what regions to secure is all.

have you met MS?Have you met ANY company in a competitive environment?Actually MS is the Most anti-competitive companies out there, they do monopolies not competition, and I have the EU case files to prove it.
[QUOTE="JohnF111"]So fans will be importing? Not so difficult or does MS even know the PS3 is region free? :lol:Sgt_Crow
Fans must also start learning Japanese. Not that difficult you say?
I would think JRPG fans would already have a basic understanding, to at least import all the JRPGs that don't get localized. I am probably wrong though, and I certainly don't mean all fans of the genre.
FF 13 imports said hi with the english subtitles....
eboyishere
Funny... My Japanese copy of FF XIII doesn't have English subtitles.
some did have english subs, i guess yours didnt
I did alittle research and re-release of FF XIII (International) will contain English & Chinese subtitles for the Asian version. However 95%+ of Japanese / Asian Language games do not contain English subtitles so, your point in mentioning one of a few exceptions to support your point doesn't help much at all. I import multiple times per year and English subtitles are few and very far between.
[QUOTE="lawlessx"]Honestly didn't think microsoft cared that much back then.Crossel777
I think they made it perfectly clear they where chasing the japanese market. But now they've given up on it. oh i agree they made it clear..but to actually prevent the ps3 version to be brought to the states? That's pretty big IMO

Regardless, your post really doesnt counter mine
They DID monopolies, Zaibach. That was in the past. I don't know if you remember but that happened a while ago. Even the EU case.Well, all actions are retrospective, everything happens in the past. I had lunch this afternoon, that was in the past too, doesnt mean I wont eat tommorrow.
"Microsoft paid for the exclusivity the same way Sony paid for having Heavy Rain only on PS3,"
Didn't Sony publish and fund Heavy Rain???
so really not the same thing..
I have almost no problem with exclusivity of games if they use money to fund projects. But to use money to keep a game that's already made for a system,so it wont be released in a certain territory is kind of a low blow, but I guess anything goes in business:)
