It's a brilliant thought. Because wasn't that the case with Tales of Vesperia (or Vampire Rain? I'm trying to find the article again)? That the game was developed for Xbox because the development costs were low, but it allowed them to port it over to PS3 albeit having to include additional content? Honestly the idea to make a PS3 Im@s could have been around since 2008 when they announced making a PSP version. Because after a year of the first game out, they released L4U and then announced SP a couple months later. I'd have to assume during 2007 they could have been looking at the PS3 but chose to release L4U after a year of the first game, and then the PSP version a year later. Makes me wonder if they have been investigating a PS3 version since those times but never found a way to do it and seem relevant. Because you are right to question a date that specific, it might have just been a wait for the right moment sort of thing.

everyone seems to be under the impression that untranslated Japanese material automatically makes the article desirable and amazing because it's inaccessible to them, but really, it's not like that. watch the western jRPG fans praise the shit out of neptune II until it's released into English and then they'll still continue to eat it because westerners will purchase anything that's from Japan and has anime chicks in it. they won't realize that it's actually a remodeled Trinity Universe with a bestiary taken from Cross Edge and a battle system that consists entirely of mashing X and R1, they'll just be consumed by the ability to play the game.
they aren't going to region-lock an evidently mediore, months-old otomege with DLC tacked on. the ps3 version is a cash grab, it's not doing the ps3 userbase a favour or trying to branch into a larger audience. if you think otherwise, that isn't your opinion, you are deluded. the series has been out for years. anyone interested in the series would have taken measures to play the games already. you're playing another console's hand-me-downs with DLC attached only because Sony won't allow games from the 360 to be ported without additional content. as for additional content itself? it's a new difficulty level.

Well, aren't we keeping it super real?
Point is, it's headed to the PS3. It will sell. And people who haven't played it before will do so now. You can give me all the facts and statistics in the world, and it won't keep this from being fact. So no, I'm not deluded for thinking otherwise, I'm using my brain. You basically contradicted yourself as soon as you said it was a cash grab. Duh, yes, everyone knows. Thus the larger audience.
Say I didn't want a 360. This one game interests me, but I'm not going to shell out the money for a console for it. It only interests me, I'm not dying for it. Now I can get it, since it's headed for the PS3. And hey, I might even actually like it, despite it being 'mediore', and less than a year old. Call me nuts.

Ready's dance seems kind of... static. There's not much movement and what little there is is very simple. I still like the song and it's only a preview so whatever~
That gravure thing seems like fun. New PS3 wallpaper for me. XD Ha ha.
