Futureproof? iOS system updates completely wipe games out of existence all the time.
I'm okay with this. I would love to see it get a proper HD remaster, but considering the series is as niche as they come this is probably as good as we will get.
Sucks for people using overpriced Apple devices out of brand loyalty I guess! :)
Only if the developers give up on it. And even then, it's usually when it's something very big, like migrating from 32-bit to 64-bit. I doubt this game will magically stop working in the next iPhone/iPad iteration. Also, I use Android anyway, so I'm glad I can play it on several different devices with several different specifications.
Mobile -> steam but no Consoles? I just hope it sells well fr future entries.
Happy it is the PSP game and not a new gacha game for Mobile.

I think that's sarcasm.
If you're on 3.60 firmware, you can use Henkaku to play either the PSP or PSX version
A emulator is more futureproof than this, c'mon now.
Not advocating for piracy btw, but thinking that iOS is in any way futureproof is frankly ridiculous.
Every phone is overpriced bullshit. The entire market is an anti-consumer racket. Android is no different.
oof, disappointed with this :( I remember buying it 10+ years ago in Japan but I couldn't speak Japanese at the time so I got stuck somewhere and dropped it.
I'm sure it's still around here somewhere (along with my PSP), maybe I'll dig it out again. I just can't play games on my phone.

At least my phone still has a headphone plug....until the next Xperia. :(
I would have bought this game again if coming to consoles. Oh well, I still have the PSP version. Maybe if we are lucky this will bring the series back into the spotlight enough to generate a new entry in this series.
I mean, PPSSPP is a great emulator, so you may be right, but I still think Android and iOS are still more futureproof than some other consoles, especially when you consider that there are not a lot of big changes in OS every year like it was back in 2013. I bought so many games on PS3 and can't even touch them on my PS4. At least now we know that the responsibility lies on Square's hands.
I mean, everything can be overpriced if it offers no value to an individual. Personally, I'd rather pay $900 on a good phone than $350 on a PS4 nowadays.

I am one of those people that actively use his PSVITA and buy games for it, so no, it's at the last firmware available. Maybe I should buy a second one... but at that point PSP was incredible as an emulating machine (still don't understand why I sold it... :( )
I have yet to ever see a phone that's worth $500, much less almost a thousand dollars. Phones are becoming so expensive they're pricing entire chunks of the population out of the market.
It's possible that we may see a Steam release in the future like many of SE mobile ports.
That's true I agree with you. I don't how S-E track record is of keeping their old games updated with the OS updates. Hopefully it's good.
Yes Android is better in keeping their old software working on a updated OS. But S-E can still delist the game with time (I hope not).
I guess you can always sideload it, although some games do need a connection to verify it's authenticity. I know that the older Cave games do need that on Android for example.

Yep, I hoe fof the same. We need more VP goodness.
It seems that Anatomia has been doing well and it's not so bad on the gacha thing.
People who can buy a Moto G will buy a Moto G. People who can buy an iPhone X will buy an iPhone X. And even though these models are vastly different, they still communicate with each other, so it's not like they are forcing people to stop using smartphones. The market works by having diversity in models and brands.
You may see no value in a phone that costs $1000, sure, but I can see why people would use them as fashion statements, or because they want the "premium" experience. I don't think this is a bad thing. That pays for innovation in future phones, of course.
And thanks to those innovations, you can buy something like a Moto Z Play for $200, get a joystick and play games and emulators in a 1080p OLED screen. And if you buy another completely different phone, you can still play the same game, but in a 1440p LCD screen. Or with stereo speakers. Or with no bezels. That's the appeal, at least for me.
Is not trolling, is generating hype and worked well seeing this thread
Yup, first thing I thought of when thinking it would be mobile.
Still going to buy it to support VP, though.
Tbf it generated hype that was deflated going by the thread.
Now for me I at least want then to port this to steam (and please don't put horrible filters when doing so, the mobile footage doesn't seem to have it so please).
Right there with you, Skilletor <3. I'll buy anything VP, and frankly I'm surprised to even see the game surface at all. I do wonder if even this mobile port will make it to the other non-Japanese stores at all though.
About what I expected given that this has the same title as the PSP port. Maybe it'll come to Steam eventually.
Took some Youtube screengrabs from the short gameplay snippet of the mobile port and contrasted it with a Youtube clip of the PSP version (remember that there's compression artifacts in both shots)
Mobile port:
PSP port
and the original NTSC version via ePSXE (not that it makes much difference):

Of course it's a mobile port. Expect a low effort port of the mobile version to Steam in a year.

;/ Idk. Usually a mobile port for a JRPG makes sense cause you're just picking stuff out of a menu but VP is very active.
I don't understand Square Enix, this obviously pisses off the fans. These ports are low effort as well. Pissed off fans = no buy, but if people don't buy (like Chrono Trigger) then they will say we are not interested. Ugh, Square Enix is so vexing
Yikes, that ignore turned out to be a great decision.
Anyway, the fact that this is getting ported to mobile isn't a big deal..but I hope they touch the sprites up a bit.
