LOL Spencer. According to Todays' magic box frontpage…

“- Siliconera has postponed the US release date of the PS3 simulation RPG Cross Edge from March to May 19, 2009.”

Didn't know siliconera was in the business of publishing games now

I've still got the demo from the Japanese PSN Store on my PS3. I go back and play it every now and then. It's very interesting. I mean, it's not oozing with large-budget effects or anything, but the gameplay is pretty solid. Assembling parties that will chain attacks together… the attack animations changing and getting more powerful… it's a pretty fun system. Blends SRPG with standard turn-based RPG in a pretty good way. I definitely think it's good, but it's not something the mainstream will probably hop on board with. Check out some youtube videos of x-edge if you're curious.

This game seems to have a bit of hype in forums and such. This is a serious question, but for those who have played it or read about it, is it actually good? I know these mash-up games are great for fanservice, but I have never heard of one ever being truly great.

Trophies are now REQUIRED in all PS3 games as of 2009.

This is a good point and we hope to talk to NIS about this.

But… they're adding trophies (?)

Trophies are nice, but they must make sure that the game actually works first. The game really needs to be properly translated & tested. And no cutting content or voice acting.

NISA has a lot of customer trust they need regain right now.

Maybe the addition of the trophies is NISA's way of making up for cutting content in AT2 and Rhapsody. At this point, I'd rather wait a few more months for them to properly bug test the game and spiffy up the localization.

I'm crossing my fingers for a Pleinair cameo in this game. <3

I knew this was going to happen. The initial interview where it was confirmed coming to the US was out of context. We were going to get an official date set in March, but since we've all been detectives, we learn a few days early.

By the way, RosenQueen is going to start taking pre-orders in early April.
