As one of the few people who enjoyed KoF's previous forays into the realm of 3D, I can't wait for this one to hit consoles.

I too had fun with Maximum Impact myself. Anyway, can't wait 'til the inevitable EU release of KOF XIV, seems like it plays well and looking at the leaked screens, the full cast looks very interesting.

Let's hope they're actually gonna push the game after it's out this time.

Yes, I expected that Sega of America and Atlus USA remain independent!

Congrats. Smile

I really enjoyed it too. There's SO MUCH FANSERVICE! This partnership with Atlus makes me think if the game is English dubbed we can get some proper, experienced VAs this time. I know the original Japanese voices are so iconic, especially for the likes of Terry, but I really like the potential of seeing these iconic characters with English VAs on the same level of recent Street Fighter games in sorta the same way you want to see your favorite game or book getting the movie treatment.

WOO! KoF! Ok, of everyone in all of KoF history including newly revealed additions to the franchise, who is your favorite character? Personally, I'm gonna get flak for this but...

Sylvie's reeeeally cool. Very Happy

People out there on SRK and EventHubs are throwing poop at her design for it being ugly and stupid and nonsensical, but I love it! In my opinion, it's the currently most unique character design in fighting games. Name me one character in a fighting game that is a parallel to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

Well known mainstream NA talent? Wouldn't count on it. Though, some of the English cast for XII are notable/experienced like Jeff Manning, Donna Burke and Eric Kelso, they mainly operate in Japan. As for Sylvie, yeah, she's alright but Luong though, oh my gawd! As for my fave design in the KOF series, can't decide but Kim, Yamazaki, Leona, Geese and Rugal are contenders. Luong too lol.

EDIT: Fixed quote.

Gotta say I am excited to get this game. Just got a Ps4 recently and will be adding this to my list. About favorites mine has always been the ladies Blue Mary, Mai, Athena, Angel, Kula, Whip, and Kasumi Todoh. I know some of them won't be on there but I have always enjoyed the varieties of differences in characters on this series. Cool

Mui Mui's helium voice gets on my nerves real fast. Normally, these voices are not THAT high-pitched!
