Looking And Waiting For Something Special?

Honestly, the arcade scene should only happen where there IS an arcade scene. Basic supply and demand.

The US, as concentrated and rabid it's current arcade fans are, might or might not be big enough to validate an arcade release. Same reasoning on why the next SC is being produced in the first place; the fanbase/demand was big enough.

Just make sure that you guys don't get too ahead of yourselves. The only thing that was mentioned is that the next project is in the works.

So quoted for truth. Stop living in the 80s guys. You know the internet got invented and all that. People can PATCH their games if they only want to. Look at Starcraft 2, gets patched all the time to get a balanced game. Its not that hard. An Arcade Version is a huge waste of money and an enourmous waste of time and potential. The biggest most active scene of SC is in Paris, a closed BETA Version would allow ALL good players to play this game. Patching would be ten times faster since broken stuff will be found faster, in an Arcade where only a tiny part of japanese players can play the game nothing will happen and we will wait like idiots and fall behind in skill to other players who have access to arcades.

CLOSED BETA, constant patching. Nobody needs an arcade anymore.

Wth? You're completely missing the point of the importance of an arcade release, it isn't for patches and that nonsense. It's to make the game competitively recognised. Don't you know why SCIV did good everywhere EXCEPT places like Japan?

Arcade Version= SBO
SBO= More players, competition and interest.

Unfortunately, the FG scene is full of faeries that won't even look at a game if they're beloved Japanese don't play it; though at the same time, you need a dominating force like Japan behind these games...not because they're the best, but because Japan is kinda like the central hub from which FG success tends permeate from.

Basically, this series will never truely flourish without an arcade release, whether you get one in your country or not.

And SCIIIAE was too little too late, of course it was gonna flop.

Well then just release an arcade version in Japan and at the same time the console version in europe + US, i dont really care. But a one year arcade ONLY phase would suck so bad. I dont think anybody in europe will depend their decision to play this game based on whether its succesfull in Japan. Cant say for the US.

Ok, so I got Daishi's recent twitter messages translated (roughly) with an online translater just to get some kind of idea what he's talking about. Here's what the translater said:

"Thinking that the people who are continued to wait after all patiently being was connected to the revival of the caliber team the [ru].Because also the development member desired the revival of the caliber team, fighting spirit of the team is high!!"

" The caliber team which is revived with such a meaning we itself (laughing) also in the future [yoroshiku]! … Because same effectiveness, it reaches to sale, waiting, the [te] to give, [na]."

It seems like they are going to do their best ot make a great game!
