@Areus Preeeeeety sure Square Doesn't own rights to Lufia. Last I checked Natsume held rights to the series after Neverland went under.

@Korgon Also @ShogunRok does realize it's unfair to lump Falcom in here right? I mean ANY work on a native PS5 version of a game takes quite a few members of their relatively small team and a ton of their resources to port over. I'm not saying full price for the PS5 upgrade for YS VIII was a good idea on Falcom's part, but $10-$25 wouldn't be an issue in their case unless Robert wants Falcom to go bankrupt? 🤦

This is a "get gud dev" moment if I've ever seen one. 😂

@ShogunRok Is this coming to Nintendo Switch as well? 🤔

@get2sammyb Don't you mean "in the plastic". 😜

@Blacksmith1985 @thefourfoldroot1 Yeah Sony has turned me back into a primarily Nintendo gamer again. If it weren't for Final Fantasy XIV I wouldn't play my PlayStation consoles much outside of retro games on PSOne/PS2/PS3/PSP.

@LiamCroft What about PSOne and PSP Classics that we've actually purchased with money? 🤔

@Quintumply Will Sony remove any PSOne Classics or PSP Classics from our libraries that we actually purchased though? If so I'm fairly certain they'd be breaking some laws since in most countries it is required that purchased games not be taken from consumers and stay in their download library so long as the digital storefront for said console is still online. 🤔

@get2sammyb So will I be able to freely download any PSOne/PS2/PSP Classics released on premium if I had them on PS3/Vita even if I don't have PS+? It's what it sounded like in the PR release, but I'd like to confirm. 😎

@SuperPotato316 Technically Monster Hunter is NOT a GAAS game. It's an action-RPG with online elements, but most certainly NOT an MMO since most games in the series are fully playable offline.

@NEStalgia I'm honestly worried Sony may do something absolutely insane and buy-out Square Enix, Capcom, and Sega and assimilate them into their GAAS scheme effectively destroying Japanese gaming in the process.

@Rural-Bandit It's all stupid, since internet infrastructure just isn't good enough for most of us to play modern games on the cloud. My internet in the Phoenix suburbs is barely sufficient to stream NES, SNES, GENESIS, and N64 games on the Nintendo Switch Online service and I have the best net in the area. Tried PS Now and the lag was so bad there was like a 5 second delay.

Outside of areas like LA, NYC, and a handful of other big cities the infrastructure is sorely lacking. And that's not even counting the fact that over 4 billion people in the world live in areas that don't have access to high speed internet.

In short, if gaming goes Cloud only, the vast majority of gamers will be squeezed out of the hobby they grew up with and enjoy. 😫

@Mostik Funny you should talk about Cyberpunk 2077 because that's probably the year Witcher 3 will drop on PS5! 😂

@Tasuki The magic system and D&D elements felt like a big change to me. 🤔

@jFug Yeah Push Square reviews feel off, like reviewers trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. 😋
In all seriousness, it's not that the reviews are wrong persey, just that it seems the reviewers are constantly reviewing games from genres they don't even like... 😬

@Quintumply "and it's a cutesy RPG about little ghouls searching for the afterlife" Ghouls!? I thought ghouls are undead corpses while ghosts are dead people whose spirits remain? 🤔

Does anyone know how long the load times are in the PS4 version of this game? 🤔

@HeeHo It's easily a 7/10. This is legit the lowest score the game has received anywhere. Don't let the review sway you too much if you're a fan of SMT or Persona, it'll be an enjoyable experience for you. 😉

@get2sammyb @ShogunRok Does the base PS4 version have the option of Dynamic Resolution like Zero Dawn had or is it exclusive to the Pro/PS5 models this time around? 🤔

Great review Sammy! I agree that this game is quite fun in short bursts. 😺

@get2sammyb I like the anime art direction. Colorful doesn't = ugly...smdh. It does look dated, but there's no way to create a 24 player online 3-D arena royale game with modern graphics as no one would be able to run the game even with 5G internet lol. 😂

We won't get Kuro before Reverie lol.

@Fight_Teza_Fight That's a steaming Hot-💩 take on this situation. Yes Take-Two has that right, but you're acting like they should sue instantly without giving them a chance to cease-and-desist. Companies that do that should be shutdown as companies like that will sue everyone. Remember Blackberries? We have to call the berry Black Raspberry now because a mobile phone company forced us to rename a freaking fruit that was discovered and named thousands of years earlier because of "copyrights"...

@Littlemidge1986 Please, the engine is relatively new and TBH nobody has even remotely mastered using the engine yet, it'd be like saying the PS4 was tapped out by 2016 and that we should have just moved on. The engine has loads of untapped potential plus It'd also be unfair for PS4 owners if they started switching focus on a separate PS5 version as there aren't all that many completed full games on the engine yet. There's a fine line between drawing in new players and alienating existing players, PR requires a very delicate balance between the two or your company's reputation turns to mudd.

@Quintumply Hopefully an RPG template will be added in the future.

@Americansamurai1 Right now the PS5 is bottlenecked in its potential growth because of the chip shortages. The PS4 will still have more active players than PS5 for at least another 3-5 years as a result so while I agree that a PS5 port should come eventually, it is not really necessary for the foreseeable future.

@Quintumply Is it possible to use the templates with created or imported assets? If not that suddenly makes the feature pretty useless.

@MidnightDragonDX Yeah, why choose Christmas of all times? Sony is Grinch confirmed. 😡😠😈👿👹👺💀

Godfall is perfect! Not a game I'd buy, but a game I know I'll get enjoyment out of nonetheless. Lego DC Heroes is a Lego game I actually don't already have so yay! Overall great month if true! 😍

@ChrisDeku Hard disagree. It sounds more like you're burnt out with the JRPG genre which is fine, but the genre is fine as-is, last thing fans of the genre want is even more games trying to change JRPG's into a completely new and unrelated genre...

@ShogunRok This article is an exception to the no review scores rule right? We don't have to worry if we actually comment what score we'd give the game?

@LiamCroft I've got a letter, hyphen, and a word for you...X-Men!

...welp my PS4 just initialized a factory reset upon booting it up. 🚽

@Residentsteven Yeah, that's what happens when there's literally no stock available for next-gen hardware. People aren't just going to quit gaming because they can't find a PS5. 😂

@PixelRunner The fact that everything is online IS A HUGE ISSUE. The fact that a hacker can completely shutdown all forms of technology to the point that we could instantly be thrust back to a pre-industrial Revolution level of technology because we think it's a great idea to have it all stored on servers is dumb AF. With climate change, lost old-school technologies, and the fact that 90% plus of the population don't have any skills or knowledge to function without the aid of technology from the past 400 years, it'll be absolute doomsday if this frankly highly probable scenario plays out. 😫

@ShogunRok Does this game bring back the traditional equipment system or does it still use the same dreadful RNG tiered equipment system that Xillia introduced. I HATE that system as the RNG gods have forsaken me and I've actually been softlocked with no hope of progression due to horrible RNG draws. 😠

All I see is Sony pulling a Wii and distancing themselves from traditional games once PSVR 2 launches, which is terrible for those of us who're visually impaired and can't use VR for more than 15 minutes without vomiting our lungs out. 😷🤒😵

@get2sammyb Is this PS5 exclusive?

Shady business is shady, regardless of the company. 😠

I was having problems redownloading some Vita games on my PSTV this morning, but everything else seems to be working just fine for me.

@Jimmer-jammer See my post above. PSN Profile's website grabs trophy information of all PSN accounts whether they are members of the site or not. Sony would literally have to ban every PSN account to rectify this which would be business sepuku and possible lawsuits and prison time for the Sony execs.

@Snake_V5 On second thought maybe not since PSN Profile's API grabs trophy information of all PSN accounts whether they are members or not. Sony would have to ban every PSN account in that case and I can't imagine the company could survive the backlash they'd get for doing so.

@get2sammyb What's next? Will Sony ban me for having an account on PSN Profiles' website? 🤦

Imagine if they do this to accounts linked to any third party website? They'd ban half of all PlayStation owners and lock them out of all of their digital purchases. That would be...nevermind the words I want to say are ban-worthy lol. 🙄

We'll be playing this with our minds in 100 years on the PS20 and XBoX2. 😜

@LiamCroft Is the game info above correct? Is this also releasing on PS4?

@wiiware Uh...you know Crunchyroll is a legal service right?

I'm guessing Discord integration will replace the messages and party apps on PS4 and is likely why Sony dropped messaging support for PS3 and Vita and limited party's on Vita to only allow communication between fellow Vita players.

The update I'm looking forward to is likely the 10.00 update that will add Discord feature integration to PS4. That will basically give us back a feature similar to communities, plus loads more interesting features like emote support for messages on console, etc.

@MFTWrecks Uh...Cyberpunk isn't even a first OR second party Sony release...😓

@Voltan Will the Judgement game releasing soon at least be released?
