DefaultPrime.com: "Well, if you live in Canada, then odds are that you aren't going to pick up Half-Minute hero on the PSP. Why is this? Because the game lacks French, and to Quebec that's a big no-no, so they won't allow anyone to sell it."
RPGFan - "Over the years, those of us who love RPGs have spent a lot of time with Sony's consoles. The PlayStation 2, for example, was the undeniable king of home consoles for RPGFans of its time. However, when it comes to handhelds, the PlayStation Portable faced an uphill climb from the day it was released. In Japan, it came on the scene just 10 days after Nintendo's DS, but the gap was three months longer in the US. And although both consoles had great features, the DS went on to outsell the PSP two to one."
To be honest I was expected something better from RPGFan & disappointed very hard at the end.. for example Crisis Core on No3 is outrageous & completely ridiculous choice... & then we have Kingdom Hearts which I can't even call rpg on No8.. tragic nothing else to say many other wrong selection no reason to mention them all & it's pointless this list is simply teribad, at least they put Trails in the Sky high enough this I'm sure is something most ppl agree with.
Weird list... Some games just shouldn't be on there, like (I might grilled for this, but) Star Ocean 2, and Lunar. Those games are seriously overrated by the rpg community.
Tales of Eternia and Breath of Fire 3, although ports, should really be on there. And what about Dissidia? It's got a ton of rpg elements to it, and certainly takes as long as any rpg to fully complete.
Also I never played Trails in the Sky, but that girl looks EXACTLY like Kid from Chrono Cross.
Let us Cling Together cannot touch FFT. Besides that, it's all games I wish I played
Whenever there’s a Steam sale, there’s usually a few games that are tucked away in a corner somewhere that have no advertising. Even though most of these aren’t big enough to be featured on the main page, they are still gems that should be bought up. We’ve compiled a list of games that we feel either deserve to be purchased and is an incredible value. The rule is that it has to be at least 70% off, otherwise there’s a chance it will drop in price again before the sale ends.
Rice Digital takes a look at the bite-sized RPG that,though now well known, many people still have yet to try... to their detriment.
According to the title 'not going for sale in Canada" is the same as ... it IS for sale in Canada in limited release (as you would expect for a niche game) AND is on sale in Canada on the PSN. Where you CAN'T buy it is retail in Quebec.
I don't see how the title to this submission and the reality of the situation have ANYTHING in common.
Maybe I'm expecting too much of those that submit stories though.
Sucks for Canadians, fantastic game.
This is yet another example of french speaking Canada dictating what the rest of Canada gets because of supposed inequality to french Canada. As a completely english speaking Canadian, I am so sick of this crap. Late releases on games because french instruction booklets need to be added, non release of games b'cos of the zero french content...enough is enough.
