Why? Would you not want these games outside of Japan? Really now…

'Kid pirate'

Those are two things that make an annoying, cheesy RPG character. No need to buy the PS3 version.

Probably should rethink what you just said.

While my opinion on what the VS trademark meant was wrong, I was still right about a PS3 port of Vesperia. Weird how I keep myself on the wrong track, but with accurate guesses all the same o_O

That's because Sony didn't moneyhat those titles?

Valkyria Chronicles was orginally a Xbox 360 game, but shift platforms due to a choice from the development team.

White Knight Chronicles wasn't on the Xbox 360 because Level 5 has a good working relationship with Sony, and a poor one with Microsoft (with Microsoft did themselves).

As for Disgaea 3, a version for the Xbox 360 wasn't released/created because they probably knew the title wouldn't sell on that platform. Not to mention, Nippon Ichi has never released a title on a Microsoft platform as well.

My hope is, if there is ad-hoc multiplayer(which it would be insane for them, NOT to have in, a Super Smash Bros-like, fighting game), that it'll be compatible with the ad-hoc party system, that way it'll be online. But yeah, it would be nice if they just had online multiplayer, built into the game. But Ad-hoc Party is the next best thing so here's hopin' for that.

I find it funny how nobody accuses Sony of moneyhatting Valkyria Chronicles, White Knight Chronicles, or Disgaea 3.

There's almost always ad-hoc when it comes to PSP multiplayer games. The problem is that no one* in North America owns a PSP -- much less the specific game you want to play (and most games require two copies for multiplayer)

What's really needed is infrastructure multiplayer, but that never happens.

* This is an exaggeration.

You're kidding yourself if you think Sony didn't “moneyhat” games during the PS2 era (not to mention the PS1 days). They'd still be doing it too, if they had half a brain or any money. Then perhaps the PS3 wouldn't be in the straits it is in today.

That aside, this port is good news, and I hope Namco does a competent job on it. ToV is (IMO) the most “complete” JRPG on the 360 in that it is very polished and it doesn't feel like the developers cut corners anywhere (like some of the other 360 JRPGs *cough* Infinite Undiscovery *cough*).

Knowing Namco I'm betting ToV for the PS3 will never see the light of day in American. I own a 360 and love ToV and I'm willing to buy a PS3 just to see how it is on the PS3. I'm not gonna get my hopes up for this one.

I have the 360 LE version alrdy, but I would import the PS3 version w/ addt'l contents again to play the game in Jpn. It's too bad the US ver. of Eternal Sonata didn't come w/ the extra video footage narrated by Hirano Aya/Polka.
