Facebook Files: Your Videogame Wish Come True

Welcome to Facebook Files, where we’re reverting back to the old format this week with a discussion from our Facebook group!

Okay, so this discussion is a bit whimsical. It involves one’s desire to see something happen relating to a video game release and only a release. No character cameos (i.e. Sonic in Brawl), game modes, or anything like that. Just simply state what your wish/es was and how it came true. Please limit your wishes to something that’s surprising than obvious. Obvious being "I hope that they make another Mario Kart". Obscure being "I hope that they make a sequel to Okami on the DS." Sure this is silly, but I know we all have something that we liked to see and it happened. I’ll give three examples of mine. Ironically all three involved are ports that I was hoping for, but you can wish for whatever you want. [...]

Interesting topic! The only video game "wish" of mine that has come true has been a re-release of Chrono Trigger. And it happened twice! Once for the Playstation and once on the DS.

 

Uh, other that than I was hoping for a DS game in the Atelier series and we finally got one with Atelier Annie last year. I really wanted to see Atelier Lise on DS here in North America, but that fell through. Since P3 Portable has been announced, I’ve been REALLY hoping for the same thing to happen with P4.

Hmm, I don’t think this has really happened to me much, but I’d been wanting to see TvC in NTSC before that was announced.

TvC in the U.S. was a godsend! It was well worth my woes and worries that we weren’t going to get it.. I had no hope for TvC at all. Of course that’s all changed now ^_^

Persona remake for the PSP. What ATLUS should’ve done with the PSX NA release to begin with.

@Raphael: Good call! It would be really nice if they did something similar with Persona 2 and actually released both games for NA.

 

You can read the full discussion here. We’re also chatting about PlatinumGames and crossovers too! Meanwhile, what videogame wishes would you like to see come true? Remember, surprising rather than obvious. Fire away in the comments!

    The complete Langrisser serie translated on one luxuous package is all I ask for.

  • Ereek

    I can definitely support this one.

    Sure I will give you that they start of as kids playing detective. But when reality sinks in for them and they actually start to think about what it is that they have gotten themselves into there are more similarities to P3 than just playing.

    The characters evolve quite much in P4 :)

    I haven´t played all Tales of games, but I can´t say that anyone but Karol in Tales of Vesperia acts like a kid. For good reasons since he is a kid. Yuri is not acting like a kid, he overthinks things.

    For FFVIII I can defend Squall, being alone for so long and the whole emotional attachment is something to think of. I´ve been in the same shoes before I started opening up and it hurt like hell when I had to shut that bond of friendship down. It has taken me a long time to recover from that.

    I wouldn´t say that Zidane is afraid of love. Tidus and Yuna feelt a bit fast. Oh she´s crying and I want to protect her only to get home to my own world, what do I do?

    So it´s both give and take here as well.

    I´ll be honest, I didn´t think of Higurashi. But there you have to have a bit more thinking yes to get everything and it will still leave you in afterthought.

    Final Fantasy Tactics is a double edged sword. While I do agree with you I could also say that is the usual stuff. Ramza being whiny and emo about his family and brothers and thinking about Delita and such. But given the time he has to improve his character and grow as the main lead I do also agree that he is more mature than most other FF heroes.

    Drakengard would have been a lovely game if it hadn´t been for the really bad fighting mechanics :( Baroque is a game I haven´t played but from the looks of the story it gives thought to a lot of interesting stuff.

    And yes. Variety is out there, but since they demand more from the player they are not as popular.

    The graphics look nice at least.

    @Samwise: TvC was originally in NTSC… Japan shares the NTSC code with the States.

  • Ujn Hunter

    Man… good stuff! I shouldn't expect anything less from you however! :)
