???????

I liked Ys more before it decided buttons were necessary for sword attacks.

Suikoden o: (probably kidding)

Oh, we have waaaaaaay thicker skin than that. :P

(thanks for the concern though!)

Ohoho, Spencer set a card in offense mode and did a direct attack on his lifepoints. :D

i mean, it's rare relatively-speaking for a falcom game to not come out on PC, but I did hear from a Ys buff that there were some issues with Seven doing so due to publisher shenanigans or something

Yep, it's Ys Seven. But do we know where this came from? This seems like something Atlus would do if it's a hint at a localization, especially since they brought over Legacy of Ys I & II. Really excited for the news, guess I'll hold off importing it then.

Bleh. NEVER trust the Nintendo ports, lol. I've had the misfortune of playing every last one of them and they are all awful in one way or another.

Nintendo Ys ports are always glitchy, lol easy mode, and have terrible sound (mostly BGM). I REALLY wish they would have localized, “Ys I and II Chronicles” for PSP since that was much better than that sorry excuse of a remake on DS *sigh*

Ys font

I know, because it's just SO unreasonable for people to expect a source in their news stories. I love how instead of just explaining why you can't say who the source is, you get all defensive and act like people have some personal vendetta against you. Real professional, buddy.

Be honest. Have you slept at all since this post went up?

People have gotten info from sources who would like to remain anonymous before. Your posts seem pretty vitriolic at times, and I think that's probably what has the writers defensive, rather than your desire to know their sources.

Perhaps you have me confused with someone else. The only thing I and other people have done is ask for the source for an alleged game announcement. That is it. Of course, instead of just getting a response saying 'Sorry, we can't say for X reason' or 'Oops, here it is', we get flamed for being trolls. Then the editors come along and say stuff along the lines of 'You wouldn't believe anything I said anyway' and 'If you don't like it go somewhere else.' Yeah, so sorry if I get a little vitriolic when people blow up at you for making a perfectly reasonable request.

- “Well, good for you guys ;)
I suppose having Adol as my avatar for the past… forever years doesn't count :(“

^ First thing I thought of, too… Especially since I don't recall any previous posts these two have ever made before now… Yr still Adol incarnate in my book, denpanosekai…

I understand what you're getting at… I think. But at the same time, there has to be a line. When you say stuff like “X Game is going international”, that's not just a tease. That's a clear statement of fact. Stuff like that needs a credible source to back it up. It's not that people don't trust you, it's just that a lot of us like to know where our news is coming from. Was this new game announced by the company? Did you guys hear it in an interview? Was there a leak? These are the things people like to know, and these are the things most professional journalists are expected to provide.

If your source is someone working at the game company, it's understandable why you can't credit them. But honestly, if you're only source is a leak, it would be much more appropriate to call the story a rumor and to write the article as such until something more official is announced.

For instance, right now the FF Gaiden article sounds more like a press release blurb than a news story. If I were a new reader, I wouldn't trust it at all, since there isn't even an attempt to back up anything that's said with evidence. Even if you had just written something like “Siliconera has learned such and such…” it would have been better. People expect a source to be cited in their news stories, and when you can't name that source, you need to address why… or at least indicate that you HAVE a source, even if you can't tell us who it is. That is standard practice in journalism. You can't just leave it out and expect people to believe the story without question.

I was playing around. Note the ;),.

I don't see why you would take this little gaffe personally either, especially since you came out swinging on the FF Gaiden post. Don't throw rocks when… you know

If I could say more I would. If I can't, I can't. It seems kind of silly to write unnamed sources everytime.

Anyway, take a deep breath and smile. It's just a post :)

Yeah, wouldn't it have been cool if Konami announced that Suikogaiden 1 + 2 were being remade as a turn-based RPG for PS3??? Or if they were to release a new story to fill-in what happened to so many of the original characters in between 2 & 3 ???
*…drool…*

Yup it is the Ys Seven Logo. Its coming.

I wish =(

Not that I don't like Y's. I just got stuck in “AoN” and … never got further >_>

Sorry to sound like an ass, but since you're a writer here and stuff, I figure it'd be for the best: it is actually spelled as “Ys” without the apostrophe :)

I hope I didn't bother you with that, but I figure it'd be for the best eventually.

Hahaha, another falls victim to the Ys/Y's curse!

Hear, hear!

Hear, hear!
