Yea.
And fuck every time this thread is bumped I get my hopes up that an official NA port may have come out.

With the newer PCSX versions out, GSDX advancements, etc, if you tried it a long time ago I'd try it again. The last time I had PCSX everything was borderline unplayable and the program wasn't really worthwhile. Things have changed and now I manage 60FPS in almost everything that doesn't still have innate problems with the emulator. Except Shadow of the Colossus. That game will not play for me for shit for some reason.
But yes, it's the JP game with a patch for English. As far as I've played it (I'm at Yiazmat now) I haven't ran into any rogue JP text. Patch 0.22 really helped clean things up. Some things like the Guriguri Banban weren't translated to my knowledge, but that's the only thing I've seen so far with placeholder text. Even the bow they added was translated.
Yup, with how comprehensive the patch is I can't imagine how much better an NA port could be considering how well the game scales with high resolutions.
The point was more that with an NA port you could play it on a console and not have to deal with emulation problems (which the PS2 is notorious for).
Except for the main problem PS2 is also notorious for: shitty looking graphics as compared to PCSX at +2048x2048 background resolution. For anyone still wondering if they can run Zodiac on PC. I was running it 100%, with w/e patch it was then, on my old 9800 GT on dual core year or two ago. Still have it on my system, just haven't bothered to play it none.
It's a good point, if they were to port it at this point it'd be an HD remake for PS3 and you'd just have to pray they made the same effort to upscale it, but yeah in regards to emulating it, PCSX2 has been continually updated and I imagine it's even more accessible at this point.
I would make a big 'ol doodoo in my pants if they gave this game the same treatment they're giving X/X-2.
Until then, upscaled in PCSX2 is the way to go... even though I never quite figured out how to circumvent the weird slow-down and sound corruption I get during most Quickenings (Flame Purge makes my computer catch fire).
Flame Purge does the same thing to me. It's something to do with a setting, as I turned it down several times when I knew I'd probably end up using it to avoid the extreme slowdown that comes with it.
Other than that I think I had some mild menu/music lag at a few points during the game. Mostly stuff with an aura like Ixion/etc. Also probably a setting. But it wasn't bad enough to warrant a change.
Set this up and was messing around with it last night. Runs perfectly on current builds of pcsx2. Upscales beautifully.
Spoiler: show
Here is the game on the latest emu, v0.22 with the stats bumped up to smexy level. lags a bit in menus though it seems, might turn it down just a tad.
NECRO BUMP!
Anyone know someone who went to Distant Worlds in Pittsburgh that may be able to confirm?

I think remaster but Gematsu and NeoGaf and Reddit have some postings.
Edit: X did well, no? Should be just as easy.
Imo they need to release a Vita version, Vita is in need of games (Not saying it needs to come only on vita)
super hype if this is true
Remake or remaster? It would be nice to play on vita and ps4 like X
HD port is what I'm assuming he means. Will be nice to play the Zodiac version.
Please do it. I need my HD Ashe ass.

Solrain, I see you bro.
Its been yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaars.
Anyway, with the HD remaster if this ain't just rumors... I really hope they have both versions of the game. I personally enjoy IZJS and will never go back to vanilla but I know a few people who prefer the old license board and IZJS gives no option to use it.
