That should be something featured on the back on the box.

Features:
--> Strategy RPG
--> Epic Story & Cutscencs
--> Monster named JUMBOCOCK

Personally, I would leave things a bit more ambiguous, where it up to me:
Features:
--> Strategy RPG
--> Epic Story & Cutscencs
--> JUMBOCOCK

Data, data, data. I cannot make bricks without clay.

I wonder how many sales the jumbocock would get.

Hopefully enough to warrant a spin-off series, a la Prinnies...
Jumbocock: Can I Really Be the Hero? has a nice ring to it...

D.Plainview(Il brutto): I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
Kakizaki(Il cattivo): [Edit] That's what I do when I feel threatened, because God gave me a baby penis.

Ever consider asking Namco Bandai if you can localize Tales of Vesperia for PS3? Don't. I highly doubt they'll let you, given their track record).

If Aksys ever localized Tales of Vesperia for PS3, I don't even know what to say...
That would be friggen amazing!

Sorry if this has already been answered before but are PS3 users getting anything else besides the game maybe like a digital download of the soundtrack or maybe some sort of art book and such with the purchase of the game? I want to get this game but unfortunately my money is limited and there are many games coming out in the next 3 months that I want =(. It would kind of be a kick in the balls if we only get a digital version of the game while the xbox360 gets such an awesome LE.

EDIT: Yes I realize that the kick in the balls isn't coming from Aksys but regardless of who its from it still hurts =(.

Hey there.

This question is directed specifically towards Belisarius:

I'm very interested in this game, and I live in Mexico. Still, the Mexican PSN store is sorely lacking many of the contents that have been already available in the US store, even while we run the exact same games.

Since Agarest is going to be available as a digital download, not like usual, I'm kind of wondering... Is it eeeeeever going to pop up in the Mexican store-of-sorts? Any info would greatly appreciated.

PS3 users will be getting a number of DLC in-game content packs for free. A digital download soundtrack is an interesting idea, though. I'm not sure what the logistics of that might be. I'll talk to my co-workers in the know on Monday, and see if I can find out if that might be a possibility.

I will look into this on Monday, but my completely unofficial guess would be "maybe". I believe that we released some BlazBlue DLC that was (eventually) available in Mexico, but I'm not sure if a) we really did and b) if this would fall under the same sort of thing. I will try and get an answer for you next week, and hopefully it will be positive.

I believe the lack of content on the Mexican PSN is because a lot of companies (i.e., us) are only authorized to distribute to certain regions of the globe--North America, for instance. There are reasons this makes sense from a physical product standpoint (customs fees can get prohibitively high), but the model seems, as I'm sure you would agree, a little out-dated when it comes to digital content. Of course, I--sadly--do not get to dictate policy, but I will see what I can find out re: your concern.

Also, I'd just like to point out that this is probably the best idea ever.

All right Vlad, as promised, here is the mostly-official response: Yes, Agarest should being going up on the Mexican PSN. If it does not, let us know, and we should be able to rectify the situation. Let all rejoice!

Hey I'm wondering about what differences there are going to be between the systems, like some of the images. I've seen an instance of where on the 360 the scene is a girl changing and she is wearing panties and a garter belt, and on the PS3 she is wearing a pair of running shorts. I digress, is there going to be any significant differences, or just minor scene details that the SCEA deemed "too mature" for american audiences.

P.S. Keep up the great work and do your best to bring us more great games.

The PS3 screenshots you're talking about are not from our release. In terms of content in the game itself, the versions we are releasing on each console are identical. They do, in fact, contain the somewhat more risque pictures--the garter belt, not the running shorts, as it were. Hopefully that is the picture you prefer.

For those of you who want more specifics, our release adds the additional content from the "Reappearance" version of Record of Agarest War, which was released in Japan on the 360. For those of you with PS3s, I believe our release is the only way to access that particular content on your console.

In line with many others, thank you for the disclosure. Inability to do anything can't be helped, though I'd love an explanation from Sony about "no disc" retail releases aren't appropriate since they let retailers sell just the codes already. I will say... they'd better have made assurances to cover development costs regardless of sales since they blocked the request.

And now, to nag them! Well, nah. But it's noted this was specifically SCEA so I guess I can keep importing PS3 games without shaking a fist. Perhaps they wanted credit for causing what'll be the strangest ever combination of releases of different versions of the same game.

OH, legitimate question now. Do we have an estimated or even a vague download size yet? Since the Ghostlight install portion alone is nearly 5GB I'd assume it has to be that and likely to tidbit more?

Thanks Belisarius, that actually helps me out a lot. I might end up getting both then. The 360 for the packaging and bonus items and the PS3 b/c i actually own that system AND the DLC is going to be FREE!!

somnambulist, I read on another site that Belisarius said it was going to be 8-10GB but that they would have a better idea of what it was as it got closer to April. (correct me if I'm wrong on that one Belisarius).

Yes, you are more or less correct. The most current size estimate puts it at the median of the two numbers you quoted. In other words, right around 9GB.

Wait... you say the DLC for PS3 will be free, but does that mean 360 owners will pay for theirs?

That makes me feel good, in a bad kind of way.

That is a good idea. In fact, it's one I've discussed with other people in the office. I don't know if it'll go anywhere, but, you know, it's out there.

Any new news on this?
