Way to fail namco.

Digimon superior, Sterling inferior.

Xenosaga was Monolith, while Bamco holds the rights to Xenosaga and its charadcters, Monolith is now with Nintendo (acquired in 2007), which has yet to bring any of their RPGs stateside. Tell Nintendo to bring over Soma Bringer, now. Kthx.

Baten Kaitos was Tri-Crescendo and Monolith. Think the last we heard of TC was Eternal Sonata, which actually wasn't a scam on Live, but a good and intact game. But that's on PS3 now, too, right?

What's there to really expect from Namco these days but Digimon or another Super Robot Taisen game they're too dickless to bring to the US themselves? Well, not that I'd want Namco localizing them, Atlus USA usually steps up and does the job for them.

Namco wanted to be an RPG contender, but they don't seem to have what it takes to make it happen these days.

@ The Silent Protagonist - Perhaps you've heard of Tales Studio? Or maybe the (arguably) most popular JRPG of this gen, Tales of Vesperia? Whether or not you like the series, I'd definitely say Scamco is a contender.

I laughed. God, who was I kidding?

Guess I'll get it if it comes out for the US need new game for ds anyway.

@Electrium: I overlooked Tales because, well, its the Tales series. Once Namco kicked the main series into "oversaturate" I stopped paying attention to it. That and Namco seems to follow a playbook of what they think SE is doing, rather than what they are doing. I'd like Namco to be Namco, like Atlus is Atlus. Do your own thing.

To sum it up for you pedro, Xenosaga was an incredibly long cutscene held together by dungeons.

I kid, I kid. It was a great game, but the second and third didn't really live up to expectations and the series as a trilogy is long as balls. They're a classic but I think they need to be left alone.

@TehPeanut: It seems from the little I've seen that the "comeback" refers to this new game being based on the very first generation of digimon (i.e. the original character dude whatever his name is, and the OG T-Rex Digimon)

Uh, wait, The first DS digimon game was called Digimon Story (Because every game had to have DS in some form)...

Man, I wish monolith would make a Digimon RPG, the DB Kai rpg on the DS is quite good, concidering it crimps from Super Mario RPG and Breath of Fire 4.

Meet the new game, same as the old game.

That's a relief, I'd rather see them release some child's game than further ignore the excellent story that was Xenogears.

Sort of like Fallout 1+2? LOL

The first 3 games on PS1 are pretty fun if you are a fan of the show but it goes downhill after that. PS2 Digimon Data Squad game is totally unplayable thanks to random encounters every 5 secs.
