Agreed. And there are brief pauses between scenes, so some loading time is present. 142MB in music files. 231MB in Quicktime encoded .mov files. And the majority in a 1.89 resources.assets file, presumably graphics and sounds. So it would be possible to downgrade at least the video and music, but you wouldn't save much space.
I dont mean to be rash but: WHAT THE #### WERE THEY THINKING TO MAKE A GAME THATS $18,NOT UNIVERSAL AND TAKES UP 2.3GB!!!!!!
I don't see the point of your rant. The port is actually a good quality and ported with efforts. It suits the touch screen well. If you don't like it, don't buy and don't play it. Simple. Even the DS game comes with a heavy price tag. My only concern is that none of them from the SE team gave me a response to my feedback concerning the Mingle/Friends mode.
Damn...I got the game but still can't figure out how to use Mingle mode! looks like I can't get mingle PP. But! This is definitely a great game, loving every part of it! I still want my mingling tho
It is a superior port with redrawn graphics + additional premium cost for touch controls implementation... the price seems fair to me? Like iEdGamer said..if you don't like the price ..don't buy it. Lately the ios platform is seeing ports of more recent quality games from other platforms.. so expect the price of these ios ports to be the same if not more than the price of the original games.(Bastion is probably an exception >.>) "I bought a game from the appstore and therefore it should run on both devices" is a sense of entitlement exclusive to ios device owners. I more or less subscribe to this opinion as well but from an objective point of view..it must seem silly to anyone outside the ios gaming sphere especially to a console/handheld giant like Square Enix. Kind of like saying: my vita or psp game should play on my ps3 as well since I bought the game from psn?! This is probably a poor analogy =/ but I don't really find it a problem when games like this(huge meaty RPGs) are non universal. I understand that it can be a problem if you are sharing your account with multiple people with different devices(like me for instance). Summary: Enough complaining already(That's what your last 6 posts were about). Communicate with SE if you not satisfied with their products. EDIT: awww.... the OST album in itunes seems to be missing a few tracks like deja vu. Spoiler Anyone has hints for using Beat ? x_X He seems a little hard to control compared to Joshua and Shiki.
I think they will release a new OST with all the 60 songs (read somewhere, don't hold your breath). And to use that character, I had to re-arrange my pins. Unlike the DS version where you could breeze using the same pins (at least on normal), this one's control scheme begs for experimentation, which IMO is great.
There's really no point in defending the lack of universal when FF Dimensions is universal and both versions of TWEWY are identical.
Just because they look identical visually and in size doesn't mean tweaks weren't made =/. The fact that the iphone version crashes on ipads already shows that there is something fundamentally different in the settings and the way the game runs. Why produce 2 separate copies when only (minor?) tweaks were made.../points at the previous post. I am not defending anything I am just trying to look at it objectively >.> It makes sense to me..but it is all speculation and this topic has been discussed to death already. I apologize for eh.. bringing up this topic.
Sorry, but my iphone version didn't crash at all on my ipad.. What square did is "locking" the iphone version so that it cannot be installed on ipads, not only creating seperate version..
From 71 pages, at least 50 of them is people whining. You know, this isn't a Square-Enix board, they aren't here and don't really care. If you think they messed up, don't show support to them. Every game that gets released get hate around here, it's either too big, too expensive, no universal support, etc. etc., it gets old. Fast. If it bothers you so much, stop buying apps and go outside, or maybe go to therapy, because seriously, no one ####ing cares.
Hey guys im working on getting a job and i was wondering how much does a iphone 4s 64gb cost u know with internet and all.
lol if we are going to continue speculating on how the minds of the people at SE work. No of users with both ipad and iphone = low No of users with both ipad and iphones who play the same 2.3 gb RPG game without icloud saves on both = even lower Price a universal game at a higher price to cater to the minority? --> No--> 2 separate versions Tested way of doing things? =yes All...objectively presented of course. >.> and without any statistics.. it as useful(or correct) as your opinion or the discussion on the possibility of finding aliens on Mars that poop little cupcakes and streams of rainbows.
Not really. But every thread I go I see complaints and not useful or intelligent discussions. TA users make this forum look like a place where people only come to bitch about the games released.
That's the unfortunate state of a market where consumers have been fed a steady diet of big publishers constantly trying to find the bottom, which has brought us to the freemium madness None of that holds any weight when you recognize that FF Dimensions is universal. I'm entirely certain that FFD also required tweaks to run on all the supported devices. S-E's pricing tactics come off extremely poorly on this particular app, one that is released so close to FFD.
I think it just shows that SE can enforce universal game requirements on the company they outsourced for the porting if they want to...that's all. The fact that they didn't for consecutive past releases must mean that they are satisfied with sales etc but somehow deem it necessary to have FFD as universal( probably to centralize the IAPs..this is their 1st game with IAPs/DLCs right =p). I don't find myself disagreeing with you though! I am still trying to get used to using Spoiler Beat . =/ Been breezing through Lv 1 Hard with Spoiler Joshua but I seem to getting wiped often now at the same difficulty level.
Flame Blast pins work great with him, use them with Vacu Squeeze or Snail Squeeze for great rewards and a quick Fusion charge.
Decisions, decisions ... really annoying that it's not universal. So do I buy the iPhone version and just run it on x2 on my iPad, or do I buy the iPad version and only play it on my iPad.
