All this statement does is confirm what I've been saying. They will probably avoid releasing a UMD version of it due to the fact that 1-2 months later the console will be bumped off the shelves for PSV.

That means they will release it on PSN that way both PSP and PSV will play it. Remastering a 4 month old title for a new console would be costly and careless. So they will rely on the fact that a PSP PSN title can be put onto the PSV and emulated just fine. Thus it's free money for them and not likely to be passed up.

I'm sad.. because I like to own a physical copy of that which I buy, but what can you do?

However, that all being said. Let me remind people. This title WILL be released on PSN for sure (If not on UMD). Otherwise localization of Type1-2 will be trivial later. (Of course, that's assuming they care to make a market of 1-2 outside Japan eventually).

I am so sad right now, the fact that he cannot tell us and that if we did get it will be on the PSN, right now I am sad, confused, and flabbergasted. I understand the whole PSP/PSN thing, but I really want a physical copy of the game, and I don't want to import just to get one. For me personally, I am hoping, praying, and hoping for hope that we will get the game.

Sadness takes over.

Sign here, it wouldn't hurt to just help a little

I... What did you just DO?! XD

@Daim: You sir, are a bloody genius. XD

It's going to be a big game if it's on PSN. It's releasing on two UMDs in Japan, that's at least 3-4GB.

I am going to import the hell out of this if it doesn't come out in the west. Seriously square we need Type-0... Its the game many FF fans have been waiting for. SE does not have their priorities straight because this has been flouting around for a long time now and they decide to relese XIII-2 before it. Aw man this is really unfair.

Oh, I didn't know it was a 2 UMD game :o

Also, can I ask something which may have been cleared up a while ago....

The Vita uses a proprietary cartridge for game storage like the Ninty handhelds, correct?
But since the initial questions on the device, I've heard nothing about the Vita and its internal storage.
There is no "16GB model/32GB model" it's just the 3G & Wifi versions.

Surely there is an SD slot on the PSV for PSN titles, right?

---

Yeah. I believe that there is still an SD card slot as well as the PSV game card slot.

Ahh cool. As long as it's not a Sony only SD card costing £50 for 8Gigs >.<

Sony hasn't specified any of those details yet. But there is *supposedly* flash storage and a slot for external memory. Games will come on proprietary flash drives.

That's assuming 1.The entire 2nd disk is maxed in storage and 2.That the gamecontent that is carried over is large.

Just putting in comparison other multi disk games. A good bit of each disk is the same content. This allows the game as a whole to be run from each disk. Only difference is videos and events.

All the PSN downloaded game has to technically have is a single copy of all that content. So it can be as little as 2GBs technically. Still big, but my point is that 2 UMDs doesn't mean it has to use all of the space nor does it have to have repeated content in PSN.
