XSEED Vice President: "No plans to localize Wii Fatal Frame titles."

I recall them saying that about Pandora's Tower as well I believe. I'd like to talk to this gentleman myself if I could.

Yeah, I got a response back from Tom of XSEED Games at the forums. Apparently they have an idea that Nintendo holds the rights, but worry that TK still holds a say in matters and feel their chances would be slim. Ergo why it is that we got a response the way we did. No one knows the full details, and God, it is a heart-crushing answer. But something is telling me to keep going, I do not know why, but I just can't give up on Operation Zero now. Not after all the hard work.

Fatal Frame isn't just a game, it is a lifestyle that those limp-noodled happy-flapping MEANIES at Nintendo refuse to let us indulge in!

Chill, dude. It'll be okay.

Have you considered importing it?

I own it but I still want them to release it over here officially. I literally cannot sleep at night b/c of it.

dude no offense but apparently Rainfall had no effect in getting PT or XB stateside. And even if it did I doubt a puny little Facebook group with a fraction of a fraction of the support will get the game over here. seriously, 1.6k people will not do it. I think there was some niche RPG like Ateleier or tales or something that got 50k people to write in and ask for more games and they ended up bringing the next one or something. nintendo is much bigger and probably much harder to convince.

And the last time a hunch told me to keep going I wound up w/ alcohol poisoning. the way you tried to boss that XSEED dude around based on a "hunch" even though he had already given you the facts is kinda silly. But not as silly as those TRAITOR-MASTERS at Nintendo!!!!!

Boss that XSEED dude around? Excuse me? I was merely trying to showcase a fact as well, and I thanked him and praised him as a gentleman. I don't consider that bossing someone around at all. We have a common goal, don't we? Cut me a little slack, cap'n.

As for Rainfall? They did not ask for credit in matters, nor do they claim credit in the slightest. The one thing they did do was raise awareness of the titles, and unify people to support them. To me, that's all one can ask for.

Also, having a hunch about a game (I somehow KNEW PT would come, even though I was off on the timeframe and I feel the same for this game too BTW) and having a hunch about drinking alcohol are two completely different things. When you learn to trust your intuition about what's going to happen, and if you truly believe in something, you manifest it into reality come hell or high water.

You know who you remind me of TC? You ever play Skies of Arcadia (any iteration of it)? Recall the scene in the Valuan sewers before Vyse goes balls out and rescues his father and the other Blue Rogues from being executed by Valuan soldiers? Yeah, you remind me of the character he talked to shortly before he got into the coliseum, I believe his name was Marco. God, what a pessimist that kid was, and what a rotten attitude he had when you met him.

Yeah, you definitely remind me of Marco before Vyse won him over for sure. My take? At least I am getting off my ass and doing something about it for something I truly believe in. You, on the other hand, seem to love trying to pick at me, trying to break me down and get me to just lay down and give up.

I find it hilarious that you say I threw a tantrum and hassled them, when that was the furthest thing from the truth. And I find it doubly hilarious that you seem to think that you talking down to me is just going to cause me to lay down and call it quits. What? Like I've not dealt with my fair share of naysayers already?

A leader does not quit just because someone who seems very envious of them, talks down to them and falsely sullies their name. Feel free to throw your stones at me, unlike most, my house is not made of glass. It's made of brick.

Or so you think **LOL** I think the only one who's blind in this house is you my friend. I feel so sorry for you, living in such a pessimistic world. Recall how XSEED said the same thing about Pandora's Tower? That they had "no intentions" to go after that title? Yeah, we know what happened now, don't we?

Just because a company says "no" does not mean it won't ever happen, I am very well aware of the situation at hand that we're dealing with. Hey, just because things look grim, does not mean it's a hopeless situation whatsoever. I view myself and I view OpZero as a catalyst of hope to show that there is a market for the title much like how OpRa views themselves as well. OpZero does not merely exist on Facebook so you know. No, I have the backing of Beyond the Camera's Lens (I consider Emi, the proprietor, a friend if anything) and FYeahFatalFrame on Tumblr. Further, OpZero is part of OpRa's campaign hub, meaning articles can and will be published on their website.

XSEED actually did not know Nintendo basically owns the rights to the IP to boot. I pointed that out and again, I thanked them politely for all they've done thus far in that topic on the forums. I'm not trying to "change their minds" whatsoever, as Ken already said himself he loves Fatal Frame and I am positive he wants to gloss over and go after the title but they just have their hands full right now which is totally understandable.

Also, XSEED usually has an ace or two up their sleeves knowing their record. Who's to say they're not secretly ironing out a deal? Or at the least going to give it a go. Like they're going to reveal all of their dealings to us plebs? A company wouldn't be a company if everything was laid out in the open. I know things are not looking good, but to give up now and give the haters and everyone exactly what they want and have them all say "Ha ha! We were right!" and adding some insult to injury would be a smack in the face of all the fans of the series.

So no, you didn't win sir, neither one of us did. The only thing I feel for you is pity.

I hope you didn't jumble me and the crazy person in the same category. *lol* Because I was not the one who had a massive meltdown over not getting something they want, and it is obvious this guy wanted me to do nothing more than shut down Operation Zero. Truly a pity when they claim to be a fan of the series and then go pull this crap.

Hey, some of us know it is more than a game. The series means so much to me as a person. It literally changed my life and helped me figure out what I want to become at long last amongst other things. I do hope this topic is archived soon because I won't be dealing with señor psychopath again.
