Oh yes! I bought myself a PS2 copy some years ago but found out the hard way that both the disc and the system need to be pretty much in mint condition for the game to run, because the game uses some fancy, smancy loading technique or whatever. Because both my PS2 was old and the disc was used the loading tiimes went up to 2 minutes sometimes, making it pretty much unplayable.
I would be so happy to finally really get to play this, because from what I did play, it seemed very solid.
If they would actually keep it as an RPG and not try to turn it into some haphazard action game and break it into episodic format, then I would be all for it.
Graphically this reminds me of the excellent Stella Glow on the 3DS. I'll be keeping an eye out. I have similar fears as @Wazeddie22, I was suckered to buying Tears to Tiara 2 on the PS3 and boy was that a mistake. That one was 5% game and 95% reading boring text.
I wonder. There is Tekken 7, but honestly I can't think of much else. And was the FF12 rerelease next year as well? I guess that is at least worth a mention.
I found Cyber Sleuth an exceedingly mediocre RPG, but from what I gather this plays more like the Digimon World game on the PS1. I don't think there in anything particularly worthwhile coming in January so I think I might as well get this.
Hopefully the english dub also means they put some actual effort in the localization this time.
I tried playing for about three hours today, didn't suffer a crash, but there was some major slowdown going on at one point for no apparent reason for about half a minute. Though obviously it might not even have anything to do with the patch. Hopefully this fix works then.
Well this sounds fantastic, and I just read this after updating. Sighhh...
I haven't tested yet if my game is broken, but stuff like this really does hurt my hype levels. A real shame too, I was really having fun. I think I'll just wait for a fix before I play again.
I've never played Skyrim or Elder Scrolls in general before, finally gave this a try and I think it's amazing so far as was Fallout 4. Bethesda seems to be the only Western Dev in the whole world that can make RPGs that even I enjoy.
I think I'm going to give this one a miss. I have both compilations on the PS3 and honestly the only game I still found good, out of the whole bunch, was the first Kingdom Hearts.
The demo failed to impress me, but not enough for me to actually cancel my pre-order. I hope I end up liking it, it's been quite a while since I've seen a quality JRPG on the big consoles.
Already using it through that one program that tricks the PC to think it's a 360 controller or W/E. I guess official support is always nice though, PS4 controller quickly became my favorite controller of all time, it's SO much better compared to the ol PS2/PS3 controllers.
I actually had this pre-ordered but for whatever reason all my interest waned and I changed it to World of Final Fantasy instead, which supposedly plays like an actual RPG even if it looks pretty bad.
I tried to get into Divinity Original Sin, but sadly it just didn't work out, the running speed in that game is just way too slow.
So instead now I finally try to get into the Legend of Heroes series which I've been ignoring for way too long, bought the 2 localised games on the PSP, so hopefully I won't end up disappointed.
Supposedly the Zodiac version had a fast-forward function of some sort, that is going to be the clincher on whether or not I will be getting this, the game tends to be a bit too slow paced for my liking regularly.
Cool. I looked at the gameplay and it seems to play more like the Digimon World game on the PS1 than Cyber Sleuth, which I do appreciate since I didn't find cyber sleuth very good at all.
I found Cyber Sleuth overall mediocre, but I will be getting this anyway if it comes outside Japan. You can never have too many JRPGs. And since this carries the Digimon "World" slogan which I assume would make it more similar to the game I played on the PS1 when I was a kid, which was more of a exploration style game rather than just a pure dungeon crawler.
One of the finest non-rpg games of all time. I played this on the Wii however the first time and I got so used to the motion controls that I just can't play the game any other way.
One of the finest action games ever made for sure. I first played on the Wii though and I just can't play the game without motion controls, so sadly I think I'm going to give this one a mist.

Re: No, Final Fantasy VII Remake's Battles Aren't Turn Based
I thought this was already comfirmed. It's this fact that kills the game for me, I'll just return to the original instead thanks.

Re: Of Course You Can Fish in NieR Automata on PS4
Fishing minigames in games need to die, seriously.
Re: Review: Xenoraid (PS4)
I love me some oldschool space shooters but this one looks and sounds pretty goshdarn forgettable.
Re: New Digimon World: Next Order Trailer Details Hatching, Raising, and Training
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting this is coming this month, Pre-ordered it just now.

Re: Kojima Productions Is Quietly Poaching the Top Talent from Konami
I'm actually pretty excited for the new Bomberman for Switch personally. It legimately looks like a lot of love and effort was put into it.
Re: Sony Reveals The Most Downloaded PS4 Games of 2016
Skyrim is the only one I have out of those, its the physical version though.
Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of January 2017
I didn't even know that Digimon game was coming this soon, I'm considering getting that one. Yakuza too, but I need to still get 5 first.
Re: Sony: 2017 Will Be a Year for Amazing PS4 Software
I wonder. There is Tekken 7, but honestly I can't think of much else. And was the FF12 rerelease next year as well? I guess that is at least worth a mention.
Re: PS4's European January Sale Is the Biggest and Best Ever
Meh nothing much for me. Maybe Darkest Dungeon.
Re: Poll: Who Is the Best Final Fantasy Protagonist?
Terra is cute, I don't really have much more reasoning than that though.
I like Cecil also.
Re: Sony's Officially Licensed Elite PS4 Controller Is Out Now in Europe
Wubwubwubwubwub...
No thanks.
Re: You Can Jump Back into Final Fantasy XIV For Free Until the 4th January
I'm slightly tempted, but then I remember the overabudance of cutscenes and running back and forth just talking to people with little to no action.
Sorry, but no thanks.
Re: PSX 2016: Crash Bandicoot PS4 Trilogy Considered a "AAA Remaster" by Dev
"AAA Remaster" Really now.
Re: It's Buy One PS4 Game, Get One Free on the EU PlayStation Store This Month
Yeah.. This deal really isn't as great as it might seem at first.
But I have been meaning to buy DoA5 at some point, so I guess I might as well do it now.
Re: The King of Fighters XIV's Next PS4 Patch Improves Graphics
Say what know? I didn't know you could even do that.
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Final Fantasy XV?
It looks to play more like an action game than a RPG, so my interest is pretty miniscule.
Maybe I will get it at some point, certainly not at full price though.
Re: Could Marvel vs. Capcom 4 Lift Attack PSX 2016?
That would be pretty sweet. Marvel Vs Capcom 2 and 3 were both a good time.
Re: Digimon World: Next Order Digivolves with a Western Release Date
I found Cyber Sleuth an exceedingly mediocre RPG, but from what I gather this plays more like the Digimon World game on the PS1. I don't think there in anything particularly worthwhile coming in January so I think I might as well get this.
Hopefully the english dub also means they put some actual effort in the localization this time.
Re: Tales of Berseria's New English Trailer Highlights Combo-Tastic Combat System
I skipped Zesteria, but I think I will be getting this one. Never been huge on Tales, but recently their games have been getting better.
Re: Skyrim Special Edition Patch 1.2 Supposedly Fixes Crashes on PS4
I haven't gotten a single crash yet, even with the dreaded patch. I guess I'm just lucky.
Re: Incoming Skyrim Special Edition PS4 Patch Should Fix Crashing Issues
I tried playing for about three hours today, didn't suffer a crash, but there was some major slowdown going on at one point for no apparent reason for about half a minute. Though obviously it might not even have anything to do with the patch. Hopefully this fix works then.

Re: Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition (PS4)
I've never played Skyrim or Elder Scrolls in general before, finally gave this a try and I think it's amazing so far as was Fallout 4. Bethesda seems to be the only Western Dev in the whole world that can make RPGs that even I enjoy.
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Brings More Goofy Naming Conventions to PS4
I think I'm going to give this one a miss. I have both compilations on the PS3 and honestly the only game I still found good, out of the whole bunch, was the first Kingdom Hearts.
Re: Review: World of Final Fantasy (PS4)
The demo failed to impress me, but not enough for me to actually cancel my pre-order. I hope I end up liking it, it's been quite a while since I've seen a quality JRPG on the big consoles.
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Switch Knocks the Final Nail in PS Vita's Coffin
Does it? It's still a perfectly functional portable PS1 and the Switch, as far as I'm aware, doesn't do that.
Re: World of Final Fantasy Demo Is Out Now on PS4, Vita
I played the demo. It was playable I guess, the voice acting really got on my nerves and I'm not really sure how I feel about the stacking mechanic.
It wasn't bad enough for me to consider cancelling my preorder or anything, but I doubt its going to leave much of an impact in me.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Battle System Will Be Detailed Next Time the Game's Shown
Meh. The decision to turn it into an action game is a completely turn off for me and the episodic format doesn't help either.
Re: PS4 Controller Scoring Full Native Steam Support
Already using it through that one program that tricks the PC to think it's a 360 controller or W/E. I guess official support is always nice though, PS4 controller quickly became my favorite controller of all time, it's SO much better compared to the ol PS2/PS3 controllers.
Re: Review: Dragon Quest Builders (PS4)
I actually had this pre-ordered but for whatever reason all my interest waned and I changed it to World of Final Fantasy instead, which supposedly plays like an actual RPG even if it looks pretty bad.
Re: Miguel Is Back in Tekken 7 and He's Still Really Angry
Meh. Still waiting for Lei.
Re: Video: Trying to See in the Darkest Dungeon on PS4
This looks pretty cool actually.
Re: Resident Evil 7's VR Mode Will Be Exclusive to PlayStation VR for a Year
So you can still play the game without VR? It's just that the VR features are exclusive for the sony peripheral?
Re: Final Fantasy XV's Car Radio Features a Ridiculous Amount of Music from Past Games
Curiously all the lists for the oldschool FFs (1-10) seem pretty much identical to the track lists in Theatrhythm Curtain Call.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 137
I tried to get into Divinity Original Sin, but sadly it just didn't work out, the running speed in that game is just way too slow.
So instead now I finally try to get into the Legend of Heroes series which I've been ignoring for way too long, bought the 2 localised games on the PSP, so hopefully I won't end up disappointed.
Re: Final Fantasy XV Live PS4 Gameplay Demo Shows Customisation, Side Activities, and More
When I was asking for customization options this isn't what I had in mind...
Re: Poll: Should the PS4 Pro Have a UHD Blu-ray Player?
I have no idea what that is even.

Re: TGS 2016: Yakuza 6 Sparkles in 17 Minute PS4 Gameplay Demo
Cool, still need to play Yakuza 5 though.
Re: TGS 2016: Tales of Berseria Lays Out Its Plot in English PS4 Trailer
I skipped Zesteria, but I'm thinking of getting this one. Hopefully it doesn't fail in the review department.
Re: TGS 2016: Digimon World: Next Order Confirmed For Western Release on PS4
Cool. I looked at the gameplay and it seems to play more like the Digimon World game on the PS1 than Cyber Sleuth, which I do appreciate since I didn't find cyber sleuth very good at all.
Re: Digimon World: Next Order Could Be Coming West on PS4
I found Cyber Sleuth overall mediocre, but I will be getting this anyway if it comes outside Japan. You can never have too many JRPGs.

Re: TGS 2016: Musou Stars Is Koei Tecmo's Smash Bros. in Warriors Form on PS4, Vita
So its like Warriors Orochi?
Re: Review: Resident Evil 4 (PS4)
One of the finest non-rpg games of all time. I played this on the Wii however the first time and I got so used to the motion controls that I just can't play the game any other way.
Re: Here's How Resident Evil 4 Looks on the PS4
One of the finest action games ever made for sure. I first played on the Wii though and I just can't play the game without motion controls, so sadly I think I'm going to give this one a mist.
Re: Gamescom 2016: Metal Gear Survive Won't Be a Full-Priced Release
I'm kinda curious to see what Konami can do after all that's happened.
Re: Gamescom 2016: Lee Looks Slicker Than Ever in Tekken 7
Well at least my sis will be happy, she can kick some serious ass with Lee. Meanwhile I'm still waiting for Lei.
