Super Robot Taisen:Original Generations

[Constraint]

I don't see how Agarest Senki is big.

[Sei]

^ Well, because It would be their first PS3 game. No reason otherwise.

Unless there is some previously unannounced megaten, or some such, this would be the biggest thing they could do.

Or it might just be a new trauma center for wii (port of under the knife 2) or something. I'd be a bit disappointed.

[RayFoxSith]

I was saying that Ray was either telling me to shut up or the Growlanser kids to shut up.

No, I was replying to that person who said the thread needed more posts. It wasn't aimed at you at all. Plus Eliminage and Poison Pink are not ####.

[Olethros]

shut up Sei. The bot was talking bout Elminage and Poison Pink...

I hope you're right SE, but I doubt it.

[Olethros]

^ Love the new sig., Sei.

[Sei]

Thanks!. I've been inspired to allow a greater part of the
ethereal artist, Muse to flow through me, of recent chronology.

That would be murbly, standing before her dwelling,
in both the physical and metaphysical sense. Her size
grown quite a bit, she can no longer comfortably fit in.
'Cept in those circumstances when the outlying plane of
existence in her immediate surrounding would be of a
temperature displeasing her, in which circumstance
with methods unspecified she would fit herself in.
So cute.

Come on Atlus it's E3, announce something already :P

Like some kinda box with Original Generation, Gaiden and some customizable robot action figure with led lights for eyes.

[Futomimi]

Atlus isn't attending E3 this year....

[Sayckeone]

Yeah. They turned their back on us and got in bed with the anime fans.

[Voodoo]

Yeah. They turned their back on us and got in bed with the anime fans.

But at least we saw it coming miles away.

[James Fiend]

I might be wrong, but I imagine most of the people who shell out for E3 aren't looking for the two year old PS2 Japanese rpgs. Anime conventions are a much better option.

[Sei]

^ They said in the last newsletter that they weren't done announcing things.

And SRT is something they could announce. Coincidence? I think not.

[MoogleGunner]

It's a bit of a stretch. Personally, I've given up hope. If you want it that badly learn Japanese, it shouldn't take more than a year or two with dedicated study, and you'll be able to play the rest of the games too.

[Onion of Mystery]

Atlus isn't attending E3 this year....
Because we were at E3 last year, and it got us jack squat that we couldn't have done better with a series of newsletters. We decided not to waste our money again and instead send our information to the news sites and the fans directly, instead of waiting for journalists to wander past.

[Kakizaki]

^I don't think anyone is blaming you guys for not going.

I know I'm not. I remember even posting somewhere that it wouldn't be worth the money to get barely any coverage.

Yeah, I know that E3 sucks now, especially for the smaller guys. I was just informing the person who apparently wasn't aware that you guys were skipping it.

[James Fiend]

^ They said in the last newsletter that they weren't done announcing things.

And SRT is something they could announce. Coincidence? I think not.It probably is a coincidence. Some will disagree, but OGs for PS2 is the kind of thing that actually would benefit from something like E3, what with the big shiny explosions and lasers. I find joy in many Atlus products, but Persona and Super Robot Taisen seem easiest to market.

[randar23rhenn]

"Okay, it feels like we're always ending these blasts the same way, but here goes: Faithful... We're not done announcing titles for this year. We know, it's crazy. More to come in the near future, of course. Near future? Could that be a hint? OMG!"

I know this is a ridiculous stretch but: Near Future... could it be... SRT: OGs?!

[Kakizaki]

Super Robot Taisen seem easiest to market.

How?

[James Fiend]

Super Robot Taisen seem easiest to market.

How?2D robots making big explosions catches the eye. Whether people would actually go on to enjoy the game is another debate, but the big colorful over the top action scenes are more immediately impressive as an advertisement than say, a scene from Growlanser.

[Kakizaki]

^Except for the fact that mecha hardly hold any sway in the U.S. People may enjoy the display, but it would have zero resonance as far as the product is concerned.

[James Fiend]

^Except for the fact that mecha hardly hold any sway in the U.S. People may enjoy the display, but it would have zero resonance as far as the product is concerned.Maybe, maybe not. I think mech games tend to appeal to a slightly wider variety of people than other niche games, but once they found out that it was a tactical rpg, there would probably be some people who were let down.

Please, a hint of SRT: OGS.

say something.

[MoogleGunner]

Technically, they already gave us a hint.
Okay, it feels like we're always ending these blasts the same way, but here goes: Faithful... We're not done announcing titles for this year. We know, it's crazy. More to come in the near future, of course. Near future? Could that be a hint? OMG!

The question is, of course, what game are they making, and how have the veiled it?

Reading the first letters, which they did before with Yggdra gives us:
O, i f l w a e t b t s w, b h g: F... W n d a t f t y. W k, i c. M t c i t n f, o c. N f? C t b a h? O<MG>!

Reading all of the last letters gives us:
y, t s e e s g e s e e y, t e s: l... e t e g s r s r. e w, s y. e o e n e r , f e. r e? d t e a t? <OM>G!

This gives us a little more, mainly the apperance of SEES right at the beginning, but Persona 3 is over and done with, and as you can see, e and s are rather common word enders in English, so I'm not convinced.

That's all of the obvious things. Of course, if we knew the resolution of the computer AtlusAram originally typed this on, as well as the program, we could look for line starters and enders, but we don't really have that option, lending us only to being able to take the above lines and go through them looking for evidence of OGS. The first letters option gives us something, namely the section before the colon starts with 'o' and ends with 'g', which COULD correspond to Original and Generation, but that is a rather deeply veiled hint, so I think we can safely throw it out, though I post it just in case that is revealed to be a hint.

Last letters has a sequence that says 'fe,re' but that' not really useful, unless they're working with Nintendo on New Shadow Dragons and Sword of Light. Of course, there are several other options where this hint could be, I could apply several rotation algorithms or other cryptoanalytical schemes, and eventually, I'd be guaranteed to find a hint... but in this case, I think it's safe to say that any of those things are incredibly unlikely.

Of course, I think it's clear that we already have a hint, meta, that is: The OG Board and this Topic still remain 2 years after the release of the games, one of which is in a near constant state of breaking the rules: People are either off topic or lobbying in it, and the other has less than 50 posts. The fact that both remain is perhaps the greatest indicator that they plan on translating another part of the series, for which their options are OGS, OGG, and the new DS one.

I think you are over estimating their appeal. Look at Front Mission. The last two out in the U.S. dropped in price rather quickly. Front Mission 4 was $14.99 a few months after its release.

Yeah, that's either a tales game(highly unlikely) or it's definately Super Robot Taisen Original Generations, because the series has been in Japan for a couple generations.

As much as Id like to think that it was, they said hardcore RPG fans. While Super Robot Wars is an RPG, i really wouldnt call it hardcore. I'm not getting my hopes up.

By the way it is formulated, it sounds like new territory for NISA. I'm thinking about something like SRT, Sakura Taisen or Summon Night.

[Neku]

Hmm I know Atlus isn't at E3 this year, I was just saying they could take the momentum to announce something. To be honest, it was mostly wishful thinking on my part.

Although if you take off the "M" in "OMG" you do get "OG".

[Kakizaki]

Tengai Makyou.

[James Fiend]

Have there been ports of SMT 1 and 2 to the PSP or DS? Near future makes me think of 202X.
It would be nice if it was an OG, though.

[MoogleGunner]

They could be being sarcastic about it being a hint, and they're actually ruling out games set in the modern era, which opens up Elimage and OGs as Fantasy and Sci Fi games =/

[Sanctine]

Tengai Makyou.

I hope to hell. Please god, let it be true.

But SRT is unlikely, and Tales is a plain no. Sakura Taisen is a possibility, but also unlikely. Summon Night is the most probable.

[James Fiend]

Tengai Makyou.

I hope to hell. Please god, let it be true.

But SRT is unlikely, and Tales is a plain no. Sakura Taisen is a possibility, but also unlikely. Summon Night is the most probable.I thought the whole Bandai Namco thing was the reason SRT was unlikely. Wouldn't that also apply to Summon Night?

[Sanctine]

I thought the whole Bandai Namco thing was the reason SRT was unlikely. Wouldn't that also apply to Summon Night?

Anyone who discloses a reason as to why SRT hasn't gotten a release here is bull####ting. The only people who would know the reason are the ones who have been involved with the game in the past, and they care too much about their jobs to tell anyone.

And NISA has (allegedly) picked up Ar Tonelico II, so Summon Night is extremely possible, seeing as they were both Banpresto games acquired by Namco.

[James Fiend]

Atelier has been around for 2 generations, so I would expect it to be Mana Khemia 2 and AT2

By the way it is formulated, it sounds like new territory for NISA. I'm thinking about something like SRT, Sakura Taisen or Summon Night.

right, but Summon night isn't even about the future.That's debatable. It's really more like "alternate universe" but the whole steampunk thing isn't such a big stretch.

And Sanctine, I hope you're right. I like the job Atlus did with SRT so hopefully it's still an option.

[Sanctine]

I like the job Atlus did with SRT so hopefully it's still an option.

Honestly, I hope not. I hope SRT is dead and gone here.

[Kakizaki]

[Voodoo]

Amen

[Sei]

Well, If Ar Tonelico II is possible, then SRT would be as well, Banpresto and all.

Who knows, might be the case. There is a lot of interest in these games too, more than I would think is in things like Master of the Monster lair and Ontamarama, but who knows.

And I guess there is also the very vocal group that hates everything. But a few of them hated Disgaea, and Persona 3 as well, and those did fine saleswise, so I wouldn't take their opinions as indicative of overall public interest or support.

Personally I'd pick up both, or either game Day one.

That is more than I could say about Zoids, OD, Master of the Monster lair , Dokapon or... pretty much every other Atlus announced release announced thus far other than Trauma Center and Yggdra Union.

[LordGeo]

I like the job Atlus did with SRT so hopefully it's still an option.

Honestly, I hope not. I hope SRT is dead and gone here.

Amen

Does that mean that if Atlus was to announce SRT OGs and/or OG Gaiden then Sanctine, Voodoo, Kakizaki, and Sayckeone would do something extreme?

Now I REALLY want Atlus to bring over more SRT... I want to see what those four would do if it happened...

[MoogleGunner]

I like the job Atlus did with SRT so hopefully it's still an option.

Honestly, I hope not. I hope SRT is dead and gone here.

Ditto.

Yeah, but you guys also hope the entire Megaten series is dead and gone here.

I'll give you my top five from last gen, in no particular order:

Shin Megami Tensei 3
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Final Fantasy XII
Dragon Quest VIII
Romancing SaGa

OG came out last year in June.

It isn't too late. Far from it. But don't only rely on Atlus to get the job done.

Of course, the Fantastic Foursome would love to hear that the ship has sailed so that there's room for their ancient tastes.

Yeah, they look great on the DS. I've heard about this spin-off sort of game, but that's about it (Not sure if that's what you're talking about though). It isn't anything like SRT gameplay-wise but it sorta takes place in the same universe. I'm far from a good source though so I'd check the GameFAQs boards to see if there's info if I were you.

Hey James Fiend, you and I should stay on topic for the sake of our beloved thread.

Have you imported OGs? I've actually went backwards and imported OG Gaiden first since it was on sale. I plan on buying OGs at some point to experience what came before.

[TheMagicHat]

Geez. A couple of little tidbits on Atlus Faithful and RPGFan and the thread explodes.

Well, if a couple pages in one day can be considered exploding... >_>;

I'm still of two minds on this. Personaly, I'd love to own an english version of OGs/OGG. However, knowing how passionate certain parts of the SRT fandom get about "their" game getting "butchered" in another language, I am worried. Hell, things seem ugly enough HERE between the fans and non-fans right now. >_>;

I'm glad I live on the lower level of my apartment building. If SRT OGs does end up being the title the Atlus or NISA bring over, the fallout could be devastating.

Hell, I'll just keep watching for comments from Sayckeone, Voodoo, etc just to stay amused.

[Kakizaki]

Yeah, but you guys also hope the entire Megaten series is dead and gone here.

I plan on buying OGs at some point to experience what came before.I'll wait a bit longer before I start modifying my PS2. I've been playing the fan translation of SRW3 and I applied to edit for SRW Alpha. I think they are still taking requests at the Aeon Genesis site if you check the front page.

To some degree I actually like OG more than the crossover series, as the crossover series can get extremely crowded. Even so, W seemed really good and I heard the PSP one is fun too.

I guess since I know the story already, it probably wouldn't be such a big thing to import the OGs. I know Chinese so gameplay is rarely a problem for the imports.

James Fiend: I have Alpha Gaiden, and I can't wait until Aeon Genesis finishes translating it. You'd ought to look into that as well, though it's pretty difficult.

I think the crossover series are awesome in their own right, but the OG games are quite special too. You're right though... they can get a little crowded. I know nothing of Japanese or Chinese so I'm reading up on the OG story to stay in the know as I play the games.

I intend to learn Japanese once I'm more comfortable with Chinese (Asian Language is my college minor) so fan translations will eventually be good practice.
If you mean that Alpha is hard, I'll find that out once the fan translation gets edited. There is a surprising amount of text for these games.

[Jonboy]

Heh, sorry... I should've made that clearer but I'm speaking of the difficulty of @Gaiden itself.

Translating? Whoo boy... I don't have the slightest clue on how that works. I leave that to the experts. One of them is on the srwg site giving updates on the Alpha Gaiden project though there hasn't been an update in months.

But yeah, if you ever have the opportunity to get @Gaiden, I'd check it out. The translation is going to take quite a bit more time before it's done. Youtube has a demo video from Aeon Genesis showing Alpha Gaiden running in English. Check that out too.

He also keeps the u in names like Ryouma. Hopefully that's just his rough draft and not his preference.

I said that it would be nice if the fan translation was edited to be more consistent with the content that already exists in English. In none of the crossover anime used in Super Robot Wars do pilots consistently scream obscenities. As for the Ryouma/Ryoma thing, Ryoma is the spelling used in the English version (at least in the new remake, the original never made it here).

But it's a fan translation, so there's really nothing to get "mad" about since you don't pay for the localization.

Same if I played Musashi's Adventure for NES and the translator decided to go with "Mash."

What bothered you? Plot or gameplay?

Gameplay wise SRW is a well oiled machine. They iterate on the formula almost yearly which has given them many opportunities to optimize the interface and add all sorts of little features that make the game play better. There are many many interface improvements and niceties that the PS2 versions add to the equation. If you dislike the core mechanics then so be it, but it's a far, FAR cry from crap. It is quite a different core game than something like front mission, and I wouldn't consider one a replacement for the other. That's like telling someone basketball is a suitable alternative to baseball because they are both sports that use round balls. The rules are too different.

Plot/character wise the game will be pretty hit or miss. Either the tongue in cheek super robot show references and homages will resonate with you like it's the best thing ever, or it will fall completely flat, and this seems to be peoples main problem with the title.

[Sayckeone]

Everything. It was nothing more than an over the top FE with mecha. FE is boring as ####.

I haven't played FE, is it honestly similar in any way other than the map screen perspective? From what I understood the core mechanics were quite different.

Honestly SRT is a lot better than a lot of Atlus titles that get less h8. Ontamarama comes to mind :P/

I really liked SRT. The plot was full of interesting homages, the game ran like an anime show, it wasn't too easy (if doing missions etc) and there was a good amount of content. Sure, it wasn't front mission, but it wasnt that bad.

I'd still day one it.

[Sei]

He doesn't like SRT. Also some party games have done well, relatively recently. Probably what he means. This is no accurate forecast of future performance though, and most party games have sunk. Even ones with actual franchises behind them, and being that party games aren't really about the plot, I would think this is one of the few instances where a franchise would help.

I would therefore think that a party game RPG would be a lot more niche than a SRPG similar to fire emblem.

Thus, I would disagree. SRT would be the better choice.

Atlus would seem to believe in the potential of SRPG's as well, with 3 coming, or out for 360 which are ALL (going by reviews) a lot worse than SRT. They however expect to make money, I would assume.

As proof of my reasoning I offer the Metacritic score for SRT 2 (82)http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/superrobottaisenoriginalgeneration2

And that of Operation Darkness (47) http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/operationdarkness?q=operation%20darkness

And, of Spectral Force 3 (59) http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/spectralforce3?q=spectral%20force%203

There is a degree of subjectivity, but this would seem to indicate that, say, SRT 2, is a much better game all things considered than quite a few of Atlus's other strategy releases. Some people didn't like the games, and they are quite vocal, however.

I thought Rondo was okay.

Everyone seems to be forgetting that SRT sucks though.

[Sei]

You musta missed the numbers! They say otherwise!. You might not have liked it, yet it does not sux.

And I likes it!

[Voodoo]

Thats because game reviewers are ####ing idiots.

*EDIT*

removed comment that would probably get me banned.

Edited: I will buy RoS once I get a DS though. Izuna and Shino looks so much better in this spin-off rather than the original series.

I wouldn't call RoS an Izuna spinoff, considering they only make a cameo appearance and you might not even see Izuna at all in the game if you don't unlock Shino first.

That doesn't necessarily mean that the ROI on SRT would be higher. I imagine there are probably higher/more costs to localizing SRT than Dokapon, Operation Darkness, and Spectral Force 3. One of these might only need to break 1,000 units sold to profit, while SRT could need 100,000 (made up numbers, obviously). I don't think it's correct to compare them on a one to one basis like that.

Hell, Idea Factory probably paid Atlus to localize SF3 themselves!

[Raidou11]

Dokapon is surely a better choice than SRT, because the characters look cute. \(^x^)/

SRT don't suck, but I find the game to be extra lengthy. I like SRT, even though I rarely play it. Personally, I don't like SRPG gameplay.

They both look cool in RoS.

^^ Thats true, but we can only go on available public data. Although it is my understanding that SRT didn't do very well on GBA, that might very well have been due to the timing and the platform. From what I know, Yggdra didn't do that well either and it is getting a PSP version localized.

It would be nice if we knew the costs, sales etc to make a better comparison, but I don't think Atlus is gonna wanna release those.

What I find sad, I guess, is that being on the forum for a games company that releases niche games, we get people that attack the niche games that other people like. And then they deliver these opinions as if they were the ultimate truth of the universe when they don't really correspond that well to the available data.

Saying that game X should stay in Japan because you did not like it is awfully insulting and presumptuous to the people that did. Some people don't like the game, we get it. There is really little reason to come here and post everytime you stumble across the thread to remind everyone how little you liked it and how awesome it would be if it didn't exist.

It reminds me of Madden fans lambasting RPG's or whatever isn't to their liking. And it's more than a little sad.

The cool crew running around the niche site determining what is good or not and what others should get to play or not with basis solely on their tastes. Kinda hijacks the whole idea of a niche translation company.

I thought the biggest excuse for the game not coming here now was that it was a Banpresto game which is now own by Namco....

But with the recent announcement of Poison Pink, doesn't that kind of throw out that excuse out the window ;)

Not that I care much anymore having finished the game several times already.

I'd still buy it of course if it would ever come out here.

[Sei]

Ar tonelico 2 too has been announced. Hopefully this means that Banpresto is fair game and either Atlus or Nisa will pick this up.

[Raidou11]

Banpresto makes a lot of good games, but most of them never show up on the stateside. Quite disappointing..

Some of the good games include: Suzumiya Haruhi no Tomadoi, Super Robot Taisen Z, Another Century's Episode 3, Ar Tonelico II, Super Robot Taisen Original Generations Gaiden, Summon Night 4, and Magna Carta 2.

I think Ar Tonelico 2 will be localized soon though, probably NISA. Magna Carta 2 would possibly be localized as well, since the first game was localized, why not a 360 sequel?

[System_Error]

Magna Carta 2 is a lie

[Sei]

Nisa already announced Ar Tonelico 2, coming out in November or so.

I'd love the ACE games being translated, they are awesome.

Maybe because the first one was complete garbage. Seriously I would rather play SRT then another Magna Carta.

I do realize that many people...mainly in the stateside had a growing hatred for Magna Carta, because the game was more or less visual novel type in a sense. It had a massive amount of voiced dialogues and there aren't enough battle gameplay, but that is not the same thing as sucked. The game is awesome, it easily ran out of print. I still couldn't buy a copy of the game anywhere. Jeez... (-_-)

No the game was garbage. sorry there is no way of getting around it. The gameplay was crap, The story was horrible and the graphics and audio were mediocre at best.

IT had nice art!

But yeah :(
