Aselia the Eternal - A Defining VN-SRPG - Gets Released!

[Shizuka]

Will the PSP port be based on the All-Ages version or the more mature one? That's one thing I've been curious about.

Well, eroge scenes aren't allowed on any platform other than PC, so...

Japanese companies have been able to push that boundaries with the PSP and PS3 this year, and I bet 2012 will be just the same. We're getting things that are borderline Cero Z.

Can you name some examples? No badness intended, I'm actually curious.

Any of those PSP Visual Novels like "I'm your father -something" or "Have my baby -something-", or even Mugen Souls and Touch Love Application for the PS3.

Still no sex scenes on any of those. It'll be the all-ages version.

Interesting, I want to see how JAST USA will react to those news.

Interesting, I want to see how JAST USA will react to those news [that a PSP version is being released].

I'm sure JAST doesn't really care. They don't localize console games.

In other news:

JAST USA have suggested that other all-ages titles may be licensed in the future if Aselia performs well commercially. Upon our asking, JAST USA stated that “it’s selling quite well so far.”
When asked what the game’s target audience is, the company said they “are going to do [their] best to market it anywhere [they] can”, and are hoping that retailers who normally refuse to stock adult games will pick up interest in this title. Interestingly, they also noted that they have submitted Aselia to online game marketplace Steam, although it is currently uncertain whether the game will be accepted.

Personally I'm disappointed with their decision to localize the all-ages version, but the means justifies the ends. Aselia the Eternal will attract players who don't usually play JAST games and entice them to play similar games like Seinarukana (the sequel) and Yumina the Ethereal (another upcoming VN-RPG from JAST). Hopefully that in turn will generate increased interest in HRPGs so we can see more such games.

I'd rather have the H-content included, but the problem is just that the All-Ages version has FAR more content and updates.

Cyberfront is bringing two of Xuse’s PC games to PSP. Aselia the Eternal is coming a month late, March 8 instead of February 9. This version has been rebalanced and has additional cut-in images.

Yeah, heard about it awhile ago. Unfortunately, I doubt it's coming stateside.

I'm not sure there's any point in responding to bots.

Also, I don't own a PSP. >o<

Do the bots like... parse Reddit and then search for post title keywords in order to post stuff? O.o

But an enhanced PSP port of Seinarukana does sound pretty nice right about now.

[Wrath]

Ah I read about the psp version and I must admit not being a fan of PC gaming I did and wont get it,Im sorry I just am not a fan of it for some reason...But I realy realy wish the psp version could get snagged by someone......I doubt it will though since I want it so badly lol...All age version or not I love Nitro+ games and I realy should support them when they pop up but I just cant get over the PC thing...Its realy not my type of fun gaming expierience.....

[ZetaBladeX13]

Considering it's an SRPG that uses a cursor 90% of the time, you'd be retarded not to be using a mouse/keyboard.

Sure, you can go as slow as you want, but it still feels like playing an RTS with a controller (starcraft 64 or halo wars, anyone?)



That being said, I still want the enhanced PSP version.

[Wrath]

Ive actually imported a few Nitro+ games but I just cant finish them....Once a game goes on(on my PC) Im instantly done with it....Wich is odd since I used to play frogger quite often ya know back when PC was the only way to play at home haha man how ive changed

[ZetaBladeX13]

*shrugs* consoles are more convenient, I suppose.
