Except that Resonance of Fate was a pretty great game, it just didn't make any money at all.

IU > SO4 > RoF

They also worked on Valkyrie Profile DS, which was pretty decent

Maybe I should finally get IU and SO4. PS3, SO4 came out in the US, right?

it seems like the buyout sum was paltry, like less then $5 million.

I'm supposing if they had any substantial projects running that this wouldn't have happened.  So I guess that's indicative of something too, that nobody wanted to roll the dice with these guys again.

RoF is the last RPG I've played that dedicated a substantial amount of resources to really throrough character customization for your whole party, completely for vanity purposes since none of it affected combat. Hair dyes, individual contact lenses, accessories, three different "styles" of outfits per characters with tons of clothes for each style, etc., to the point where you could screw yourself over from spending too much money on clothes. Gun porn that involved customizing guns in the most unwieldy shapes to max out stats, with tons of little add one and tools to fill out your customization grid.

 And not a single thing was DLC. I'll love the game just for that.

Thanks, but I've never bought games from them before. They're reliable?

IU > SO4 > RoF

Outside of the stupid story in IU... I'd agree with the only stipulation being switching RoF/EoE and SO4 around.

it seems like the buyout sum was paltry, like less then $5 million.

I'm supposing if they had any substantial projects running that this wouldn't have happened.  So I guess that's indicative of something too, that nobody wanted to roll the dice with these guys again.

Well, their titles didn't really set the world on fire. What's bizarre is that since Sega ported Valk Chron to PC, they didn't license or get a deal with Tri-Ace to get a PC porting house to do the work for RoF to be put on Steam. You'd think Sega would attempt to cash in that gold rush with a niche "popular" title.

is RoF really niche-popular though?  It doesn't have half the hype of VC.  Vanquish (or bayonetta if the deal with nintendo doesn't block it) seems like it would be next.

No. No one cares about RoF.

its a hardcore RPG, if it can't sell on PC, where can it sell?  And the cost of porting can't be less then what is gained by having years of present and future sales on an active and growing (digital) platform.

Sega, where we never follow through on our good ideas.
