Neglect

[elephant_lost]

Is it just me or is Agito not getting so much love as XII or Versus??

Is it because it's not on the fancy ps3?? or nay other kind of gaming console??

Discuss my friends

It's because it's on the mobile and my mobile is shit -- therefore I can't play it. This makes me sad.

I mean we hardly here any updates, if any, about Agito...I think versus is one of the more popular games do to fangirlism >_>

I mean how long has it been since we got an update or new info on this game??

People are to busy texting on their phones to play a game anyways....

I think SE should steer clear of the mobile gaming area honestly...

[Sidderz]

Yeah I honestly think they should've released it for the Wii or some other platform, even the PSP. Phone gaming wont go down so well with places out of Japan methinks.

[Thimien]

if anything the fact its on mobile does not help... the only thing i really like so far about it, is the main poster of all the caracters... looks really nice... FF7 drawing on that one.

[elephant_lost]

Yeah I agree

I barely ever touch my cell phone as is xD

On the news front, Agito probably doesn't get as much news because it isn't such a big project. Out of the 100 billion Yen being spent on the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation I'd be surprised if Agito was eating more than 1/50th of that up :P.

From Square-Enix's perspective, I can definitely see why they chose the mobile platform. Before Crisis was extremely popular in Japan and I think there were hints that it would reach American shores sometime soon when they find a mobile provider to distribute it. From a foreign fan perspective, it will obviously piss people off because almost no one outside Japan will have a phone capable of playing it. However they can easily make enough profit in Japan only so it's no loss to them.

It's because no one outside Japan things putting an FFXIII title on a mobile is a good idea? :aldo:

[Lost Thought]

Like the majority,it`s the platform for Agito.It`s on a mobile..:( And in my opinion there is not that much intresting information to get me all excited about it.

[Sidderz]

To be honest when XIII and VXIII are released I think I would be fangasming too much to give a shit. :cookie:

[Naunen]

Agito~ I can't wait till I can upgrade my Mobile seeing that I'm a Mobile-user.

[Reviarth]

to tell the truth I've never played any of those mobile games of enix's. It's not that I don't want to its just I'm to lazy to find and download them lol

[Devious]

They should've made Agito for the PSP and remade I and II for the mobile. WHY WOULD THEY RELEASE A NEW GAME FOR A MOBILE AND MAKE REMAKES FOR A PSP?!

You answered your own question. The lack of news is a major aspect stoping people from getting excited. Looking at other games in the Japanese Cellphone market I have full faith that anything is possible and this may be a great title. But with nothing to go on other then a School of Magic and some group of solder children you can't put muchin it.

Because Japan are lucky bastards and have uber-mobiles.

[Vidya]

The cell phone gaming market is massive in Japan, though, so I'm sure that it will probably do well there if it is decent.

Poor Agito. D: No love for Agito. I really want Agito myself, I'm so cheesy and fall easily for the magic school plots and stuff. And the school uniforms~wah. I wish my uniform was like that. ; ;

[Hakimichi]

those Japaneses most of them only use japan made mobile phone due the language problem and
also they will always support their own product.

Agito is just one of those game that is a exclusive for their local mobile phone.

I agree with most of the people here, and place blame on the marketing/advertising efforts of the company. However, the fact that popularity in mobile games played over there in comparison to say... the US or the UK is different as well. Mobile games are huge in japan, it's kind of like the emulators we have here or how you can download the oldies from the Nintendo wii or Xbox 360.

My personal opinions of this, mobile games are a waste of time/space. I would be highly annoyed for having to switch or pause between games to receive answer calls. Not to mention my phone doesn't even last a day with batteries... I can only imagine the game lasting 3 minutes until my mobile shuts off from insufficient energy. Furthermore, the small screen... I don't care how big the screens get even, it's on a phone, phones shouldn't have to be so sophisticated. Keep the small games on a portable system I say. I mean, I would have bought and played Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis, but 1) My US mobile won't support it 2) it wasn't available anyways outside of Japan.

The critical mistake SE is making at the moment is trying to make things on a broad variety of media, but fail to realise that this cuts off the fun factor for many audiences. If they would stop putting such games on phones and on portables instead, their revenues would be boosted and the games would have more potential to be fun. Final Fantasy VII: BC and FFXIII: Agito are not exempt from this, and will suffer from the lack of accessibility to the player base in what otherwise could have been solid game products.
