I'm buying it because $30 aint shit for my $499 iPhone

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #4 on:** August 24, 2012, 01:50:17 PM »

A janky port of a years-old 16-bit featurephone cash-in is not a "real game."

With that price I think it's legal to pirate it then not play it in protest.

What. the. fuck. I'd pay $30 for a UMD release on the PSP, but not a digital download thingermajig.

They've got to recoup the costs on the Chinese-dev'd MMO fiasco somehow!

Yea, you guys made good games. Hopefully the other guys will catch up.

If demi didn't do a reasonably good job as admin and didn't have such an amusing fetish, I would be publicly lobbying for him to be shot.

Looks like an ugly flash game.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 24, 2012, 07:48:11 PM »

I sure hope they don't overcharge for TWEY. I'd actually buy that at maybe $10. I won't spend over $10 on anything digital though.

demi · « **Reply #14 on:** August 24, 2012, 07:49:10 PM »

Cuz you're a cheap schlub. My purchase of Final Fantasy Dimensions will tell Square Enix I want more, giving them the incentive to bring TWEWY overseas. And you can lick my tip as thanks for doing it.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 24, 2012, 07:49:57 PM »

It's because they don't have boxes.

treythemovie · « **Reply #16 on:** August 24, 2012, 10:22:26 PM »

Who the hell is going to pay $30 for an iOS game? At best a few people will pay the $2.99 for the 1st episode, get bored with it, and never touch it again.

smh @ Square not understanding iOS

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #17 on:** August 25, 2012, 12:51:20 AM »

I have no problem with paying $30, but it has to be an amazing game that controls incredibly with touch or will magically grow buttons on my iPad.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #18 on:** August 25, 2012, 09:40:50 AM »

Let's be honest, there's not a lot to do in Poland. :'(

I think Borys clocked in over 100 hours for XII and XIII

Sounds like something I'd do when I was a poor kid who had maybe 1-2 games a year so you made the most of it.

I'll be buying this when they fix the IAP

demi · « **Reply #26 on:** August 31, 2012, 08:42:43 AM »

I just played the FREE prologue to form my own opinion, and I think its awesome. Great music, graphics are fine (unlike what screens tell you), and its good ATB.

demi · « **Reply #27 on:** August 31, 2012, 08:55:48 AM »

You can change the battle music so its more "chiptune" - arranged they call it.

The battle music sounds like a rendition of Force Your Way (FF8's battle music)

im not sure why you always pretend like youre flip-flopping

demi · « **Reply #32 on:** September 01, 2012, 12:53:49 PM »

At the end of Chapter 1...

Job system seems kinda lame right now. You can easily max out all jobs without even trying.

The thing is, it's meant to be this way. You can only go up to Level 3, but later on you get JP, which let you upgrade a job even more, but you are limited in your amount. So if you want to make them a stronger Mage, you put JP into the mage classes you want.

Leveling up a job also increases the stat boosts that job gives you. Each job increases and decreases stats. It also restricts equipment. Usual stuff.

The encounter rate is kinda high. I have beaten every fight with just the Auto button (which thankfully is saved, so you dont have to keep tapping it).

There are Fusion Abilities, like FF4 TAY, but I dont know any combinations or even how to unlock more.

Difficulty hasnt been bad, but enemies do some ok damage relative to my level.

Navigating is kinda annoying, trying to align yourself with a door or a pot to check.

demi · « **Reply #33 on:** September 01, 2012, 04:43:40 PM »

It's locked to certain intervals. Apparently you can find rare items that give you more JP. Game has been easy enough that jobs havent been an issue. I've just been going through the motions giving people various job ups. Red Mage Level 3 gives you +20% HP so that's not bad.

Diunx · « **Reply #34 on:** September 01, 2012, 04:53:14 PM »

Sounds and looks like one of those lame flash rpg.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #36 on:** October 20, 2012, 03:56:30 PM »

the snes games were made by teams with talent and experience. this is made by fucking matrix software.

also the snes games had production values comparable to other games at the time and cost $80. this uses ancient technology and costs $30.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #37 on:** October 20, 2012, 05:24:04 PM »

my mind is made up - square's old IPs are overpriced and underwhelming, so i wont play them. their eidos division on the other hand...

Himu · « **Reply #38 on:** October 20, 2012, 05:50:14 PM »

Eidos

demi · « **Reply #39 on:** October 20, 2012, 06:09:25 PM »

Yeah, game is pretty good. Glad you decided to use your iPad beyond Angry Tards.

Now buy Drakerider

Positive Touch · « **Reply #40 on:** October 20, 2012, 07:38:03 PM »

demi did you buy that sqeenix game made by the ouendan team? the one with the fucked up IAP added to the international versions?

also does drakerider get better after the first chapter? i liked what i played but i was starting to get pretty repetitive

demi · « **Reply #41 on:** October 20, 2012, 08:35:02 PM »

I didnt buy Demon Score, or the new Symphonica

I didnt buy Drakerider yet either, need to finish my other $30 game first

They unlock more abilities and such in the later chapters though.

But as a developer I welcome anything that will push app store pricing expectations up

You play pinball and old Sega arcade games, sir.

Not saying that's wrong, but in the category of who wants to play that kind of game in 2012 anymore...

The difference is that pinball and Sega are awesome, and JRPGs are for cellar dwellers

Positive Touch · « **Reply #51 on:** October 21, 2012, 12:57:52 PM »

and of course the main difference is that we arent paying 3x the normal asking price for pinball and sega ports.

demi · « **Reply #52 on:** October 21, 2012, 01:10:57 PM »

$5 is well beyond 3x the asking price for Crazy Taxi
