Anyone picking up the new version of RS2 for the Vita/Smartphones??


Don't believe we will ever see an english release but we can dream.

If it ever comes to the U.S. iOS store, I will pick it up day one.

WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very good news looks like I need to get to playing RS1 sooner than I'd planned. I've got the ps2 version sitting around waiting on me. I'd really like to beat it before trying out RS2.

Yes I saw that headline. And yes I'd have to play that PS2 remake too. But after the excellent PSP ports and story continuations of FF1 & 2 on the PSP Square-Enix lately have had a very bad record on making ports of their old classics for other platforms and the PC. Even with their 2D games they didn't do a wholesale overhaul of the 2D graphics?!? In some they did fully 3D remasters like on the DS/3DS which weren't necessarily what the people who knew of the SNES era of games were looking for. But the visual designs of the Dragon Quest 4-6 DS games done by Arte Piazza were exactly what Square should have been doing with their top-down FF games!

And this Romancing Saga 2 if I can say so has a mixed approach to redesigning some tiles and leaving others aside thus creating an inconsistent visual style ala FF 6 on iPad & Steam. Many users are pretty scathing of that game's port and FF V's. Man I wish Gideon would just get around to finishing his RS2 English translation for the true version - the original! Also there's no full English fan-translation for RS3 . Another romhacker told me that the Spanish romhacker who did the full ESP translation patch for that game is waiting for someone to provide him with a full English translation that he can insert into a full English patch!

If you do not want to buy a tablet just to play this game then there probably is an alternative - you can get the GPD XD (similar in design to a 3DS). It has an Android ecosystem so you could buy that game and play on it with its good controls. But I'm instead saving up for the Pyra open-source handheld device, the successor to the Pandora.

PC Modding scene for FF VI (& FF V):

At least the visual style for the RS 2 ports looks somewhat consistent and the sprites are actually untouched! Probably no tile tearing. Though I think the characters seem very small on their battle scene floors. I think I'll wait for a possible PC port.
Must-see Japanese trailer. This port seems to be much more discretely designed than those awful FF ports. It's not perfect but it for the most part seems pretty spot-on.
TouchArcade's import review confirms it's good!

Akitoshi Kawazu wants to do a RS 3 remake .

Any chance we get a Vita version as well??


Buying it no matter on ios/android.

It looks like this is coming to Vita as well. Thank goodness I dont have to buy this for my i-phone. I hope somehow they make a physical release for the Vita.

Still planning on getting this for my iPad when it goes on sale. If you're patient, everything on iOS eventually gets a discount. I have such a huge backlog of games that there's no reason not to wait

Picked it up on both ios/Android and absolutely loving it. Trying to find out more info on the Vita release so I can pre-order it. Anticipating a Steam release as well around Christmas or so this year, worst case next year. With the Vita version they may push off a PC release until that one drops.


Anyway if you are playing make sure you level your Emperor's magic up as soon as possible. You NEED the magic school.....
