turns out that Fate Extella is most likely gonna get a localization...

Well, if FE did well enough, no reason not to. And I'm assuming it won't have preposterous levels of sexualization like CCC to earn it the ban hammer.

its not the sexualization that did CCC in, the guys who translated extra do translate Sex VN`s,

what did CCC in was the fact that it was released at the end of the lifecycle of the PSP, everyone already had a Vita and were playing Persona 4 Golden at the time.,it was decided the CCC would most likely not pay back its translation quickly enough.


at the same time, its F/E is not the reason Extella is getting an english release,its the FSN and FZ anime`s that make an english translation viable

You do realize censorship plays a role in localization.

FSN and FZ increased the fan base (and you can argue whether that's a good thing or not...), but it doesn't matter as much as FE making enough money to warrant another. Just cause a movie or tv series is successful doesn't mean a game based on it will be.

I do realize that censorship plays a role in localization, but the company that localized F/E,and could`ve but decided not to localize CCC,also localized this.



Fate extra CCC`s images would not require pixelation,so i think CCC would`ve required less censorship that this.


in game sales, increased fanbases are only a good thing, cuz they dont care about the "quality" of the fans.

there`s also that thing i told you awhile ago that triple A games need worldwide releases to make their money back(although Extella probably only gets one A or two at most)

the reason fate extra CCC wasnt worth translating was because it came out 1 year after the Vita had been released.Thats like releasing a PS3 only game nowadays,one year after the release of the PS4
and while you and me know that people dont throw their old game consoles into the fire the moment they buy a new one, for some reason gaming companies really like to think we do.

I'm not saying those aren't valid points. I'm just saying they aren't the only factors.

I think in general the PSP and Vita were kind of flops because people who want to play portable games are just going to do it on their phones. There really isn't a market for handheld consoles anymore.

thats why these games came from Japan, where the PSP and Vita rule(d), and smartphones only started catching on around 2013

the most likely reason why Extella is PS4 and Vita is cuz of smartphones and 3DS`s killing off the Vita nowadays.

As long as P5 gets that PS3 release they promised.

id say it will, P5 was probably mostly developed on PS3 before transferring to PS4 latest generation hype or something.


no reason to not release the PS3 version if its already made(although i wouldnt be surprised if there`ll only be 1 physical PS3 version for every 5-10 physical PS4 versions.)

any no, i dont have more info on P5 the release date is still sometime this year, i think...



did you start playing P3Portable? or are you still on Tag Force 2?

Still on TF2. I doubt I'll bother with P3P any time soon. Maybe FE.

well, just make sure that next time i hear that your playing P3 for the 20th time, it`ll be the P3P version...

I haven't played P3 twenty times. Probably five or so at most.

If I did play it, it would just be to try out FeMC's social links.

Lurking should be punishable by law.

i`ve no idea what that is...

A show I used to watch as a kid.



It was basically designed to introduce kids to classic literature. Ironically, I already knew most of the source material and just loved seeing it performed by an adorable puppy.

I even had a computer game called Wishbone and the Amazing Odyssey where Wishbone gets sucked into a computer simulation of the Odyssey, and you have to help him get through the story. I loved it.

Huh. Illya was a cute little girl once? I was expecting her to have just been a miniature version of the tyrant we all know today

*bashes Spirit's teeth out with a wrench*

that intro is vaguely familiar..... and I can't seem to hate it..... hmmmmm

It makes me so happy. Like I can almost reach back and feel the innocence of a simpler time.

By the way, what did you end up doing for your class? I assume you changed topic to a book you didn't despise.
