So they're really bringing out more of each character's individual game's personality, as Bartz now has proper Mimic abilities and Squall an Draw. As Squall was my main I'm really liking the subte changes and new effects to his combos and moves they've shown so far, just hope Revolver Drive is still this awesome :3

Man, I hope they fix that Aria audio glitch . . .

For anyone interested, they'll have another streamed event to report on the latest location test.

Dear God . . . Bison has ACTUAL Psycho Power now! D:

If it's not Nagisa with Shizuma assist, fuk this game and the boat it road in on.

The game begins official arcade operations on the 30th, so we can expect actual footage soon. Of course the game is only launching with 8 [of a planned 11?] player character roster. Also it looks like GODSGARDEN will be having a little premiere event for the game on the eve of its release.

This changes nothing, it just means that the Psycho Soldier Team will be the new protagonist of the next arc #kappa

Well, they're already teasing a 10 character roster (one of which is Saber, who was announced awhile ago, wasn't she?) Also that OP felt very copy pasta from AP's but I guess you can't do too much if you aren't willing to splurge on an animated sequence, and the little exhance at the end was cool, not sure about the song though but eh, GAR it up!

Again . . . are we observing the same things, cause I see the exact opposite . . . the colors are indeed darker on the PS4 version, but that's because there's less saturation, bloom, and blur because they don't need to hide the lower poly details as much. Either way, this is a moot point since development priority is character models > stages, you're only ever going to experience 1 version anyways, captured video [and on YT's crap player] rarely does proper justice, this is a game in development showing off 2 unreleased games, and who gives a shit so long as the gameplay remains smooth and intact.

First off: the arcade version is going to be the primary target [in Japan] no matter what, especially in the competitive scene [where most of this games life will reside] where nearly all events will be ran in arcades. Second, were we watching the same comparisons!? The arcade ver has higher saturation and bloom with less detail compared to the PS4 footage. Unless you just like the more "cartoon" aesthetic, there is no denying that [at least from what they're showing] the PS4 version has a bit more work put in [likely as they have more time to work on it---in fact the arcade version might be the port]. Third, Japanese gamers [the primary consumers, and pretty much the only ones affected by this "dilemma"] aren't going to give a rat's ass which versions looks better, console port of arcade games [specifically fighters] are meant for solitary enjoyment [training mode] and auxiliary features [story mode, etc].

Guessing no one watched the event? Stream Archive Arcade/PS4 Comparison Special Trailer (basically first full trailer) The game looks so similar yet so much more . . . CHAOTIC!! I'm liking what I see, now it all depends on the remaining cast (Agrias, Quistis/Selphie, Faris plz) the console port looks like it's going to hold up well (no surprise considering the arcade board is basically a PS4) Summons look NUTZ (Yuna deconfirmed and/or obsolete?)

Y'shtola preview from that latest XIV live letter Game looks crazy chaotic now x.x

FYI: It also looks as if they'll be streaming a special event for the location testing.

Hmm, actually disappointed in the theme . . . it's just . . . kinda bland. And I know it would've been expected, but was kind of wanting some new age Japanese folk (enka rock would've been cool). Heck, doesn't even really feel any sort of horror-ish, and I'm guessing the mid section (where it gets all "innocent" FYI, not a fan of the vocals either) was supposed to purposefully offset the tone but it just feels too out of place. I've generally liked this game's OST (Season 2 especially, love Kan-Ra and Aganos' themes) but Hisako's theme is a dud in my eyes (ears?)

CD Japan finally shipped my order this morning . . . (<O>)___(<O>) "soon . . . soon . . ."

Clearly it's going to be Blu-ray only #kappa But yeah, sounds like a marketing ploy, this concert looks to be of a much higher production scale than the previous 2 concerts, so they're probably trying to make as much off of it as possible from the outset (not that it affects us directly, but expecting mad merch for sale at the venue).

lol LOL FYI: the new PS(3/4/Vita) ports of Metal Slug 3 are hitting 3/24

Charlie "Pluto" Nash, back in action! The game is improving nicely, I like that the color style is going back to a more animated look over the slightly more realisitic palettes. Though I wish we got a more interesting character tease ' 3'

This can either be really, really cool or really, really bad . . . Also, new characters getting more fleshed out than the old ones lol

Just an FYI: got an invoice from CD Japan about special ordering the Xrd OST, came up to 7916 yen/$66.59 after shipping

No, '98 also did that, pretty much standard now

Latest PV Pretty simple run through of the game [sill wish I knew exactly what activated "Duel" Phase]

Answer, currently there have been no mention of international plans for CPX. It is, of course, an eventuality but at the moment nothing has been shared.

That does make me legit sad, since next to XI, this is my favorite KoF aesthetically overall from music to art to general design. And the special illustrations (like Hero Mode May Lee and Wedding Mai) would have been especially nice to have.
