Bless your hearts Bandai Namco. I had given up on God Eater ever being localized and now I finally can play it.

So what genre does God Eater fall into? I've never played a Monster Hunter game or a God eater game so I don't know what to expect.

Are there any western series that are comparable?

Normally, I wouldn't care but the fact that it's coming to PC is getting me interested.

It's like a team-based action game where you take down a lot of big enemies.

In layman's terms, the monster hunting genre is one where you beat on HP sponges, get loot, craft new equipment so you can beat up even tougher HP sponges and so on and so forth. It involves quite a lot of grinding.

Huh. So is it Co-Op or Single Player?

Is the battle system turn based like Persona, or something like what Final Fantasy XV is going for?
 
Both, but multiplayer is recommended for tougher missions. It's all in real time, too.

Aah, well, there goes my interest out the window lol. Going to be incredibly tough to find someone to co-op with. Still interested in getting into the Tales series though.

Thanks for the info.
 
2016 looking even more ridiculous, eh. Bandai Namco banking on a Gundam PS Vita game in 2016 is surreal. The PS4 + PC trend is here to stay and will probably encourage more and more localizations.
 
Wow Bamco following SE this gen and going all in this gen. I'll be sure to reward your decision. I am surprised that Gundam isn't being supplemented with a PS4 or Vita port, you would think it was the franchise that would need it most. It's been years since I've bought a Gundam game but I'll be sure to buy this one.

I didn't want to offend anyone by calling it an "MH clone". I'm not at all into that subgenre.

Hunting Game is the prefered nomenclature.
 
So the excitement for the Gundam game, is it mostly because of the franchise or is it a great game beyond that? What kind of game is it?

I know nothing about Gundam
 
How's the SP experience? I guess I'll keep a look out for it, you can never have too many Vita games

Console games didn't have tons, but from the looks of it, VS force will have tons of single player missions, keep in mind I've had a "I'll buy it anyway" mentality so I actually haven't been paying tons of attetnion
 
Eyes of Heaven! This is good, I won't have to import it now.

Also, good on Gundam coming over. Let's hope there is a new PS4 version in the near future.

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
I will get God Eater on PC at some point just so I can listen to all that godly Go Shiina music while running the game as crisp as possible.
 
Any mention of cross play on GE?
Would love to cross play all 3 platforms lol.
Also Digimon better get cross save if they want me to double dip.

People forgetting that we're getting the Force edition because there's already a translation available for English next year...

The design of the girl in God Eater is uh... yeah.

One gust of wind and you see everything...

Alisa's design is literally GOAT.

But damn it Namco, now I'm not sure to get God Eater on my PC or for the PS4 when I get it in a few months.
 
The year of dreams continues to deliver. I'm glad we're finally getting God Eater 2, it's been a long time coming. Now all I need to do is finish Freedom Wars.

I really hope that God Eater is cross-play for all systems. PS4/Vita was in Japan right? PC will be dead on it's own so hopefully they're able to do it.

Honestly, that's not even the correct term for the genre. It's "PSO clone." Monster Hunter only copied PSO-like traits and removed shit that the genre SHOULD have (lock-on, notable) to make it "lol Dark Souls lol" level of fandom wank.

None of the other PSO-clones after PSO or MH have felt like Monster Hunter in anyway. They feel more closer to PSO despite not taking PSO's "clicka-clicka-clicka" combat.

PSO is basically consolized 3rd Person Diablo with cooler boss fights though. Do these others take on that Diablo style of dungeon crawling, or no?
