Is NISA in charge of the switch port as well or is that version made by Falcom and they are just localizing it?
If it's the former...oh boy lol

The Switch port is by NIS proper and if it does well a lot of people are going to really upset.
For me, it's more about that I hope that they might fix every fault, I mean they only had 7 months extra to do it. It's that on top of the issues that exist, full price so long after is a kick to the nuts. I've bought it now to show support in hopes that they will fix it, but who knows.
Somehow, I actually thought about it but disregarded it for Falcom being a kinda small dev. Turns out NISA is behind it. Mild shock!
Looking for a fight? I can handle you tough guy.
(:
If you are interested in the game and have a PS4, just buy that version. It sucks they've buggered the PC version but the game is absolutely worth playing.
Holy shit I just booted the game up (got it for free as a Beta Tester... what a joke that was) and yep, 8-way movement. Game is also refusing any and all input via Steam in-home streaming while everything else is working perfectly. My old Steam Controller bindings were completely messed up for whatever reason as well. Couldn't take more than 3 minutes of jank before I turned it off so I have no idea how crashy it is. I guess the framerate seemed better than during beta release? That's not saying much considering how bad it was.
I would buy it for PS4 (considered it several times already) but at this point I honestly don't think these people deserve any of my money in any way, shape or form. What a complete embarrassment, especially after getting used to the xseed releases on Steam.

They "fixed" the localization recently. It's better, not great by any means, but it's alright.
I mean, that's still supporting NISA, just on another platform...unless you mean import Falcom's original PS4 release, which is a great idea. They deserve support for making such a great game, whereas NISA needs to feel the consequences of screwing up with both localizations and broken promises to the game's audience. I'm also hesitant about recommending the Switch version since, performance aside, I have no desire to give NISA any incentive to pursue more Falcom games if this indicates how they'll get treated. (NISA also has a shoddy track record with consistently fixing these issues for later releases.)
I hope this means NISA never gets its hand on a Falcon game ever again. Specially a Kiseki one.
What a joke of a company.
YsVIII didn't deserve this. It's one of the best entries in the saga :(

Good part is theres a new update on steamdatabase for a nightly private build.

The localization is fine now. Not amazing or anything but it's decent and you will never notice it in a bad way while playing
My Xbox One S controller doesn't get automatically detected. I have to manually configure it and the triggers don't work. Also, I get generic button prompts as if I was using an old DirectInput controller. What a mess...
*looks at the best sellers lists*
Yeah, no good...
I should beat TitS:SC and get Cold Steel to support the company that actually cares.

It's when companies use Direct Input from DX8 instead of Xinput any modern game should be using. Xinput was released in 2005, no major updates to direct input has been made since 2002. There's no excuse for this shit show NISA.
I'm one of the few who enjoyed the game day 1 on PS4. Translations can be very stiff, but it can also be hilarious at times.
This game is great y'all. Either get it on PS4 now, wait for patch or the Switch version and hope that it works fine.

We don't know yet. They haven't shown enough footage of the Switch version.
We've put up a tutorial on how to temporarily fix one of the widest reported issues related to controllers and crashing on start.
We are continuing to monitor reported issues, investigate causes and are working directly with developers to address these issues.

Even if you accept that it's a $60 game (it's not), there's no way this is a $60 port.
It's getting the Tokyo Xanadu treatment, and deservedly so. Let it sink to the bottom where it belongs.
Well, we appreciate you braving the storm here -- can't be easy.
In my opinion, it isn't constructive to suggest that this regrettable situation can be easily remedied by either purchasing the PS4 version and/or waiting for the Switch version. There are plenty of Falcom fans (including myself) who prefers to play Falcom games on PC and would not rather reward NISA in any way, even if they will eventually show a promise to give a decent post-launch support.
The time to give NISA the benefit of the doubt has since long past and any attempt to support any of their future releases should be approached cautiously since they haven't shown any slightest improvement in their project management. I would go so far as to say that they aren't going to change in the future unless there is a change in leadership or their company's culture.
At this point, the definitive version of the game remains the original Japanese PS4 version released by Falcom themselves and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Putting the localisation issues aside, the PC version of Tokyo Xanadu eX+ is otherwise a competent port. Even though the graphical options are virtually non-existent, it was not marred by technical issues from day one. Its gameplay may not immediately be appealing to longtime fans of Ys, but it still has that distinct Falcom gameplay loop we've all known to love. In short, TX eX+ deserves more recognition than this sorry excuse of a hack job NISA has put out.

Just why.
Edit: And there's a bunch of them. Positive reviews that aren't actually positive, they're just trolling/panning the game.

I knew NIS America would continue to fuck this completely up, damnit. I won't be buying this anytime soon (just got so much to play) but I hope either the PC version is sorted out properly in the coming months or I'll buy the PS4 version secondhand.
It's silky smooth on a Pro, but there's a fair sum of framerate drops on the regular PS4. Nothing terrible, seems to happen most in Castaway Village (thankfully there's no action there)
Yup. If you don't want this shit to keep happening then don't support the release at all, not just the PC version.
But remember how happy you were that NISA got it and that the game was going to come out super fast! Quality doesn't matter it's all about quantity and speed!
