Absolutely unexpected surprise

[Nickakyoin]

A very pleasant one still.
Always thought these games would have kept staying in Nintendo's jail, but here they are. I'm so glad more people can finally enjoy these awesome games!

Which is your favourite? 1 or Origins?

[BacklogRob]

Both are phenomenal games but I think I favor Origins more. The combat feels faster and a little more fun when everyone's sharing the same battle deck. Just wish there were more than just the 3 party members.

i figured nintendo had *some* rights over origins in some way or another but i guess maybe not, aside from begging them to make another game, publishing it, and then purchasing monolith right after

Not unexpected. Past few years, say since that se game where you change jobs by orbs, Nintendo switch exclusives have Shadow dropped between 6 and 12 months. About 6 titles now.

Dq treasures was recent, and by end of july I predicte dq monsters 3.

I watch a lot of youtube RPG vloggers, and I don't remember anyone mentioning this getting released on Steam. So a delightful surprise really. Definitely a Day 1 buy for me, since I like classic JRPGs, and card-based combats.

"Unexpected" that it just came out of nowhere with no warning (and sadly I'll also say little to none advertisting/marketing whatsoever, unlike other recent stuff like SMT V, the KH series, Monster Hunter Stories etc.), that's what I've mostly meant...

But sure, also partially that it would have stayed on Nintendo's side for a much longer time.

I may be wrong, but I think the australian rating board rated this release for both Switch and PC, so it's not completely unexpected
This getting shadow dropped like this and out of nowhere, now this was unexpected

[Deja Boo]

I am genuinely looking forward to playing this remaster on pc. For those who may not be fully aware, the switch version of the game had a weird issue where inputs would be dropped due to the inconsistent frame rate it had during battle sequences. The english dub was removed in the switch version of the remaster and will likely be the case here. There is a mod for the switch port to restore the english dub, but its a hassle to configure. It wouldn't surprise me if there is a mod to restore it for the pc port in the coming month or so and I would only imagine that it will be much more streamlined than it is on switch.

Yep, that's what I've said in the previous message also, editing that I thought it just would have stayed locked on GameCube/Switch for longer. But nope, here we are, out of the blue.

No doubt that it wouldn't have stayed exclusive. Nowadays Nintendo owns 80% of Monolith Soft from what I've understood (so they can keep with Xenoblade Chronicles), but yea, Baten Kaitos and Xenosaga (I have the copium ready) are different matters.

Naw I am correct. Game was bravely default 2, 2021. About 6 to 8 switch advertised games when marketed did not have anything beyond Nintendo. But all Shadow dropped within a year.

It's like an agreement in backroom with Nintendo. A few dq games and a few other rpgs and 1 non rpg all Shadow dropped.

My guess, Nintendo wants all sales, no one sitting on fence waiting for pc. Shin megami v was an exception. But they added new game.

I think you are kinda strange. The game was shown off at a Nintendo direct. It never stated coming to pc or other consoles. Hence threads popped up online.

And like I stated this is the 6 to 8th Shadow drop switch has shadow dropped 2021.

All Shadow dropped games, 0 marketing or knowledge by gamers. But hey see a 3rd party switch only jrpg these days. Just figure it as a time exclusive.

Hecht shin megami v would have been Shadow dropped but they added content

I'm referring to the game's copyright notice.

I played Origins first, and it hit closer to home for me, but you absolutely can't deny how fun combat is in 1. Origin's EX combos still edge it out a little more.

[The Lost]

Was hoping these would come out on steam someday but was trying not to get my hopes up. So excited

Korean ratings board leaked the PC port before the Switch version was out.
