VALKYRIE PROFILE -LENNETH- announced (PSP version ports to iOS/Android platforms; Spring 2018)
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
I cant go digging through it right now, but I think it was this months issue of Edge Magazine this covered this very topic. The new iterations of Iphone are actually a big concern for game developers who are having to spend their time and resources updating their game. Some are finding consoles to be a better platform to develop for.
So I guess the hopes for this game is:
1. That the mobile port will be available in English app stores as well (hopefully with the original translation?)
2. Then that it'll make it to Steam
3. Then this will lead to Square Enix somehow porting the PC version to consoles?
How likely is any of the above?

Meh, wonder how they'll monetize this with some gatcha/qol bullshit. At least it looks to be a pretty direct port and not a new game with barely anything to do with the original series *cough*BOF6*cough*
i read and it still the same. Have you watched the industry recently?
They do teaser trailer for every things, even the small one like mobile port. Hype is good in every way
It's not like they added lootbox to their mobile version of FFT or DQVIII. They are porting PSP game to mobile. It will be a straight port.
This doesn't make sense. VP is vastly more popular in Japan than anywhere else in the world, with VP1 being one of the most beloved JRPGs there. And with smartphones being as popular there with hardcore gamers as it is, I don't see how VP1 being for smartphones is pissing off the fans there, where it is far more important to Square than the 5 of us VP fans outside of Japan.
People are acting like Square-Enix is just completely braindead with releasing this on smartphones, pissing off every fan imaginable. But they aren't. Most of their audience, even for a game like this, is on smartphones.
So I guess if SE decides to bring it to PC it'll be a port of the mobile port of the PSP port?
I'm never letting go of my PS1 copy.

Looks like it has a controller UI already at least looking at the icons next to the HP bars. Hoping the rest is unobtrusive then it'd be a pretty ok port if thrown on other platforms.
Wouldn't mind if this ended up on the Vita considering Adventures of Mana started out on iOS before coming to the PSV.
What future proofing? Apps break down once the OS updates.

They should have done something with the models they have in Anatomia...
Only when it is a remaster or a remake IIRC
Can't you play android stuff on PCs somehow? Or via chromecast or something?
Cause i can't wait for a pc port and im not doing ice crystal boosts with a virtual dpad

No and goddammit I wish it was so badly.
I've never played it and I really want to.
They've patched for OS updates before, nevermind that they seem to base their console/PC ports off mobile ports.
That unfortunately just means the location or position of the character and their respective HP bar
The thing is whether they care enough to patch. I recall TWEWY is broken when you update past its recommended settings, and hasn't received more compatibility updates past December 2015.
for anyone that has played it before, is this the kind of game in which you want controls or is fine like most turn based jrpgs on mobile?
I mean, assuming it's a good port I might play it on my Android phone.

And there goes any interest I had. Hopefully a console/steam version will hit eventually like they did with Romancing SaGa 2.

for combat it's mostly just pressing buttons so it's probably not a big deal. For dungeon crawling there is a little bit of 2D sidescroll platforming.
it's fine, many mobile games used the same concept as VP1
Thanks, now to wait and see if this even comes out in English.
Hmm, I'm ok with a port, and it being mobile isn't a problem in particular for me with this game. The main thing is whether it may be better to wait a bit. Sometimes it takes a while but a lot of their mobile ports have ended up on other platforms later down the road.
Square Enix has been getting to a lot of their DS and PSP lineup. Really hoping they have Tactics Ogre and maybe FFTA2 in the queue as well, I really like having FFT on my phone.

Lololol
Everyone who thought this wouldn't be a mobile port of the PSP game because of the way it was initially revealed...
Now awaiting confirmation that Smash for Switch is indeed a port of 4.
I feel like people in this forum constantly set themselves up for disappointment.

This is sadly true. The huge success of gatcha games like Granblue has proven mobile is a platform as vital as any console. Honestly its crazy we have even seen a resurgence in JP made console games. I do think SE dropped the ball here not porting it to at least 3DS. Nintendo handhelds may be the last bastion of niche JP games outside of mobile.
The CG from PSP version is really ugly :/
VP1 has very beautiful artwork, it doesn't need CG video for cutscene.
Combat is fine. Exploration is the main concern.
Some of secret chest has quite difficult platforming element.
Square Enix ruins another port?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):
Yeah, never played the PSP version. That CG is horrendous.
Seriously, play the PSX version of the game.

Thanks, xenosaga. Is there a youtube link to that stream? Twitter's video compression ruins the image.
