EDITED

Top post, I refuse.

 

[L~A]

Given that tweet, it should certainly be multiplatform. I wonder if 3DS could be one of the platforms (something like PSV/PS4/3DS) just because of what Kawazu said back last year.

The way his comment is worded makes me think it might be Sony/Nintendo multiplat. Kinda weird to say 'oh things are changing now we need to go multiplat' after mentionning the exclusivity of the previous games.

Then again, my money is still on PS3/4/V.

 

[Oregano]

Going for Vita/PS4. Surprising after the 3DS comment.

This probably gives a good indication for what SE considers multiplatform for DQXI.

 

[Dimitri LH]

My boy Kenji? Damnit.....I wanna watch! ;-;

 

[JB2448]

Ten minutes until the first part starts, if people wanted to watch a playthrough of the first SaGa. Otherwise, we've still got seven hours.

 

[Teknoman]

Is Romancing Saga 1 SNES any different from ps2, aside from the obvious?

 

[Nimby]

I do know

Spoiler

Albert and Diana reunite

in the original. It was probably cut, cuz dem SaGa deadlines and all. There's probably other differences too.

 

[L~A]

So... 5h until the main event starts, heh? Too bad it's like 5am here, couldn't wake up , ha

 

[RevenantKioku]

Soooo excited.

Let's revisit a GAF SaGa Moment right here -> this <- Right there.

Spoiler

Self promotion.

 

[Reveirg]

I hate Niconico.

Getting a constant "Now loading..." and then I get booted out. -.-

 

[RevenantKioku]

If there are too many people you can be booted by a premium member.
I've been going strong for ten minutes, bless Kawazu.

Weird thing is I haven't been able to get 5 seconds of image so far. I normally get by and only have to quit/refresh every ~15 minutes for nico streams. Meh.

Why would a premium member boot you out? :/

 

[Reveirg]

There's a cap to the simultaenous amount of viewers a stream can host.

Is Kawazu the guy with the bowtie?

 

[L~A]

Actually, the cap is only for non-premium members.

I suspect it'll only get worse as we get closer to the main part. I wonder if anyone has set up a mirror stream? I have no idea how to do that, and not sure my internet connection could handle that anyway...

 

[Stark]

The main part starts in about an 40-50 minutes, right?

 

[qualitydisc]

Yes.

 

[L~A]

Time and countdown are in the OP if you're not sure about your timezone or anything

 

[Stark]

Yes.

Thanks.

Time and countdown are in the OP if you're not sure about your timezone or anything

Ah, yes. I even checked myself before to confirm. Just shows how tired I am. -_-

I hope they don't announce it at the end. Otherwise, I'm going to sleep, lol.

 

[qualitydisc]

Bumping since the main program starts in 10 mins

[kuroneko0509]

Can't believe I manage to woke up at 2 a.m and watching that gameplay from the beginning haha

 

[L~A]

Wow, that's some dedication

Anyway, it all starts now... though they seem to be running late

Oh, Ito's performance already?

 

[Korialstrasz]

The boring part just ended and the console wars started in the comments. 3DS and PS4 seem to have a good amount of followers there. xD

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Here we go!

 

[qualitydisc]

It's starting, Kenji Ito playing live.

And my screen just got spammed with nico comments. Time to turn them off.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Kenji Ito!!!!

 

[Aeana]

Love the Romancing SaGa theme.

 

[Philippo]

Yesss, gimme more PS4 Jrpg bliss!

 

[Reveirg]

Yesss, gimme more PS4 Jrpg bliss!

This won't end well. >_>

 

[warheat]

timeanddate countdown anyone?

 

[Aeana]

timeanddate countdown anyone?

It's on now.

 

[Dugna]

I just noticed something but, there is a ton of anniversaries this year for many studios and games. 2014-2015 should turn out well if all of these have great announcements with them.

 

[Herb Alpert]

Definitely related to this: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/0...asy-legend-25th-anniversary-new-announcement/



Kawazu also said:

To me the quote about mh is more about FF Explorers but who knows with this company

 

[Philippo]

This won't end well. >_>

I know.

 

[Oregano]

This won't end well. >_>

Yup, as I said in the trademark thread, if you go in expecting a game on a specific console you will probably end up disappointed.

 

[Herb Alpert]

So the console rpg that is not a remake, huh?

 

[qualitydisc]

And now I'm getting kicked out continuously by premium members

 

[crinale]

PS2 classic just announced.

Oh wow

 

[qualitydisc]

I'm impressed that the japanese SE shop is still selling new copies of Saga Frontier for PS1.

 

[anderedna]

Is there alternate stream for this. I think the stream so crowded now thus require premium to get a seat.

BTW, any interesting announcement so far?

 

[qualitydisc]

BTW, any interesting announcement so far?

They're still going through the history of the series.

 

[kevm3]

Is that unlimited saga announced as a classic?

 

[qualitydisc]

Is that unlimited saga announced as a classic?

Romancing Saga ps2 remake

 

[Macrotus]

Is that unlimited saga announced as a classic?

Its Minstrel's Song, not Unlimited Saga afaik.
The package has a download code in it and is a PS2 archive for the PS3.

 

[qualitydisc]

New promotion with Saga prefecture, "Romancing Saga-prefecture 2"
featuring specially painted JR train

Live concert by Kenji Ito in May 2015.
"Re:birth II" CD announced for 2015

Is Romancing Saga 1 SNES any different from ps2, aside from the obvious?

Very.

The world and characters are the same, story has a lot of the same bits, but PS2 version includes gameplay elements from later games:

Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song has been described by its developers as a functional compilation of the SaGa series. Ingredients include all the best features of previous entries into the series: The story and characters of the original, with super-updated graphics and extra quests; the mid-battle skill learning of Romancing SaGa 2, now called a “glimmer;” The growth system of Romancing SaGa 3; The free scenario, Life Point, and combo systems, as used in SaGa Frontier; the Sketch Motion cinema graphics from Unlimited Saga; probably others that slipped by my SaGa radar.
