Final adjustments are currently being made with all parties concerned on the remastered version of Romancing SaGa 3, and more information will be announced at Tokyo Game Show 2019, which runs from September 12 to 15 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, Romancing SaGaseries director Akitoshi Kawazu said in a tweet.

Kawazu added that since they are aiming to keep it as close to the original as possible, there will not be any significant additions or changes as there was in something like Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song.

New of Romancing Saga 3 remaster in TGS:

It's looking fantastic except for the UI and horrible font that seems to have carried over from Romancing SaGa 2. Square Enix really needs to stop copy-pasting its mobile games onto steam and expecting everyone to be fine with it. It's getting embarrassing.

Unfortunately, I am powerless to resist this release. Will be a day one purchase for me. Hopefully coming in the fall from the looks of it!

Trailer for Rime Berta Noah, the sequel to Rime Berta, hopefully it'll get localized just like the first game :

Interesting level design, are they going for a dungeon crawler SRPG type deal this time? The maps look huge.

Was the first Rime Berta worth playing?

 

[CryptRat]

It looks very similar to the first game.

The first game was OK, it's a tight game with enough classes and skills including reaction skills. Its AP system is good. The map don't feel particularly varied and you can change class (there's a tree) but I thought that past the first one it was impossible to fulfill the requirements so I just recruited some new characters with the above class when available (you recruit one enemy at the end of each fight I guess, I can't remember for sure) which is a bit less fun than your characters directly evolving .

It's not FFT and when it was released there were not a lot of such games available on PC and, if I have not played them, I don't doubt many of the PC japanese style SRPGs released in the meanwhile are more complex games than it but if you want a short experience (less than 10 hours) I would still recommend it quite a bit.

Also I love the OST, it's one of the ones I listen to once in a while :

Here's some music from the game for further hype.

New game by Gust of Atelier series, Fairy Tail, an RPG based on the manga/anime of the same name:

 

[Hyperion]

Brigandine sequel. 20 years in the making. Closest thing to another Dragon Force we're ever going to get.

more surprised it seems switch exclusive

The PC version of Super Robot Wars V will launch via Steam alongside the Switch version on October 3, publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment Southeast Asia announced.

Pre-load for the Switch version is available now. Pre-orders for the PC version will open on September 19.

Guess we'll see if it's region locked in two weeks.

Oh right, Phantom Brave is free to play this weekend:

 

[Hyperion]

more surprised it seems switch exclusive

Switch seems to be getting everything. If it's not exclusive it'll be timed, like Octochad. Nintendo dominating everyone this generation. Will make potentially skipping ps5 since Sony's move to California is a sign of the cucking with DMC5 far sweeter if the samurai continue with PC ports / initial releases.

PS4 and Switch. Not sure about PC, but they have been releasing a lot of other remasters/remakes before. Maybe later?
