There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

In the end there are two sides:
-people like you who think the extra effort is suppose to come from us, like testers..
And
-people who realize that for the price of the console and the reputation of the co, they owe to deliver a product that goes with the current generation, but honestly with the switch, it feels like a console right after Gamecube.
You forgot the third: people who realize and enjoy the beta testing process, and are even willing to pay more to access this experience (think early access). Believe it or not, this kind of people exist, says me.

Im selling temper glass for switch on ebay. Gba users get a discount. Pm me for special link if interested. 2 protectors for $12.99 free shipping.
Also should i warn buyers to let the protector dry before using or is this all baloney? Thanks.

Heard my Switch's fan kick in the first time today in handheld mode, was so satisfying.

Will be opening it up in a couple months to apply better thermal paste and thermal pads.

I buy early access all the time, but I am picky in that I have to know the developer and their track record first. I know most people don't have the time to research this type of stuff, but that's why most people should stay away from paid betas/early access. For my part I'm happy with 95% of the games I've bought this way.

True that it's a risk buying the first version of any product but if nobody buys it how will the company survive to make it better and release a v2.0? If you like something you should support it so it gets better.

I pirate a lot of software but if I like something I buy it and support the developer, otherwise how are they going to afford to keep making the software better?

Your statement makes no sense to me imho.

Well, I understand there will always be early adopters. I just don't typically do it because nowadays ppl usually get fucked. (3ds ambassador program says hi. Like that makes up for the hugely overpriced system.) Back in the retro days, at least for nintendo products, you could buy a system day 1 and pretty much be guaranteed it will work as advertised. I dare to include all systems up to and including gamecube. Now that technology has advanced so far, it's inevitable that hardware malfunctions will happen. Design flaws, however, are unforgivable. This indicates that a product was rushed to make the deadline or corners were cut to save money. I think my statement makes perfect sense. Nintendo doesn't require day 1 sales in order to make money. There are ppl that will buy just about any product day 1. I'm no longer one of them for the above stated reasons. If I'm gonna spend $300+ on a new system, it better function as advertised. I'm not employed by Nintendo's or any other company's quality assurance department.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
