Odin Sphere HD release for Playstation Family

Odin Sphere:Leifdrasir

Odin Sphere is getting a new HD remake called Odin Sphere: Leifdrasir, which is going to be amazing. The reason why it is going to be amazing is because it's a remake of a vastly beloved game from a small developer, but every game this company has pumped out has been amazing as a whole and when you look at each part. 

Vanillaware, founded by former Atlus employees and spearheaded by George Kamitani have created a very niche visual artscape and game design that isn't very much dealt with in Japanese games now a days. George Kamitani from the games he has produced takes a love of fantasy and a love of food; which only increases the visual punch the games have. Though eating in his games serve a purpose not many games will have you do the physical act of consuming or making food; which is odd since food is necessary to our survival.

But back to the remake at hand, an HD remake is going to be a good thing for this game as it lets more people play this game, or for people like me; have a physical copy with a modern console. Also Vanillaware is still including the standard PS2 version in the remake if you want to play the original game, which is a very stellar and stand up thing that they did regarding their own IP.

Main Characters and their voice actors

The game is being released in Japan and North America for sure. For Japan it's being released in January 14, 2016 and is going to be on the whole current Playstation family; PS3. PS4, and PS Vita. Japan also has an accessory pack for the game as well that includes a pouch. I'm not exactly sure what the images are going to be but it's a standard accessory pack that Japan releases.

I reserved the Japanese version for the PS Vita and the accessory pack as I really enjoy buying my games on the PS Vita and having physical copies. Once the English version gets released I will make sure to buy the English version for the PS3 and most likely the PS Vita again. My only hope is that Atlus doesn't force an English only dialogue on the game, as they have a nasty habit of not giving Japanese language dialogue on games.

Persona 4: Dancing All Night- Now with more information

In case you haven't noticed Atlus held their 36 hour Persona stream recently and we got more information about Persona 5, got to watch the Persona 3 movies, and we got more information about Persona 4: Dancing All Night. We get a very cute video mixing real people playing the game and having fun and we get  shots of the game. Here are some images first of the PV.

Teddie was so adorable in the PV especially when Best Friends came up because of what Teddie said, he was all "You're all my best friends" and my heart just melted. Though at the end of the PV he remarks that he wants to buy it and then yells for Yosuke oddly enough when the Junes theme is playing.

We also got the hint that we'll at least be seeing Yukiko, Naoto, and Nanako within the game as well. I have no idea if they're going to be playable or what not but within the PV itself we saw both Yu with Nanako and Naoto on stage with the actual rhythm game in the background.

 

With all the teens dancing I'm really excited to see Yosuke and Yu dance the most, just because of this small scene. We all know Yosuke likes music and everything. But together these two always taken me like a bunch of jokers, so I wanna see them dance together. At least they look competent, as opposed to Kanji and Chie

Chie is just doing Kung-Fu and Kanji is just stomping around like he's in Ouendan (cheer squad). It may seem like I'm being a bit mean, but I'm not. These are just my observations, but they fit in with the characters. Do you honestly see these two dancing in the way that we're expecting, being all in music videos and junk? I honestly wasn't I was expecting goofy dancing, and I hope I am not wrong in June.

I am wondering though about the story and how it is going to play out, and this screen right here is kind of the best we have at the moment showing what can possibly go on within the game. Though I do have one main major question when this comes over to the US.

What is going to happen with the Junes theme that's in this game. On the P4D site there is a track list, including the Junes theme. And the theme does include more than the "Everyday Young Life Junes" theme. So what is going to happen when this is translated, are all the songs going to stay the same, or will this one be localized to fit the slogan of "Everyday's Great at Your Junes"? These are the questions, along with who is going to be in the DLC?

There are three different versions of the game, though all get the Persona 5 special PV BD, if you just want the game you might as well just by the single game. But if you want the CD soundtrack and the DLC your best way is getting that Crazy Box with Rise on it. And if you're a sucker for limited edition peripherals, just get that Premium Crazy Box.  Myself I have ordered the Crazy Box, now all I have to do is wait.

                                                                

I Love the PS Vita

So around the 24th of November I finally received my PS Vita and I have been messing around with it ever since.

For one thing the PS Vita is rather light since it's the newer version and not only that it feels a bit more natural in my hands than the 3DS does. Now that doesn't mean that I dislike my 3DS but the two are aimed at very different people and tastes.

As of right now I don't have many games for the Vita I have three which includes a cross platform game and two actual Vita games. But, as for the selection in titles in the USA, it does make it look more like if you enjoy playing import localized games (i.e. J-RPGs) you are going to have a lot more fun.

So the actual PS Vita games I got were Muramasa Rebirth from the wonderful company Vanillaware and published by Aksys games and Persona 4 Golden from Atlus. Right now I am playing Muramasa Rebirth because I do like side scrolling action a lot. And I do mean A LOT.

Though I do like the Shin Megami Tensei series, to be honest Persona is my least favorite; and I'll admit it's mainly because of what I saw of Persona 3 and Persona 4. I haven't played either, but you know I finally will suck up my cynicism and actually play it. And I will get to it eventually and give my personal views of both when I get to completing the games.

Hopefully I will get more games for the Vita soon, because I need more of it.
