Random JRPG News Thread

[Adon]

Not bad. A couple of nice things to look forward. Most interested in Ni-Oh, SO5, and possibly Bloodborne DLC.

 

[Duraframe300]

Possible another Seiken Denetsu remake incoming.

Fingers crossed for it being better than the gba version.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Yeah, a 3D remake for Vita, iOS and Android. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Trailer:

Also, in a TGS newsbit that Abu Antar didn't mention, Toukiden 2 has been announced as well -- as an open-world (!) title:



I actually enjoyed Toukiden Kiwami, even though the port required some fiddling around to work properly, so I'd love them to bring this over to the PC. Too bad that's unlikely, what with the first game's Steam reviews...

 

[Duraframe300]

Yeah, a 3D remake for Vita, iOS and Android. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Trailer:

And suddenly the gba remake looks good.

Exist Archive TGS 2015 trailer.

 

[Adon]

Oh yeah, I remember seeing Exist Archive a while back. Gameplay practically looks like VP, and that's a good thing, seeing as how VP3 will probably never be a thing at this point. That's the only reason I'm interested in that game.

NIOH screens/scans.

Ghostlight's new Steam release is...Mugen Souls: http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/post/mugen-souls-to-come-to-steam

Bummer.

I should have made a TGS thread.

Ni-Oh gameplay. Supposed to be 60 FPS.

• On the bottom right are four icons that determines fighting stance.

• Your Offensive and defensive capabilities are dependant on stance and can be changed on the fly.

• There are bloddy katanas on the ground where other people have died.

• Apparently you can active them and fight against them for good loot.

• (I can't make out what word they used to describe them so I'm not sure if you fight them in PvP or if you fight AI units that look like the players.)

• You can change armor and weapon in real time, so make sure you're in a safe area when you do.

• There are also spears in the game that are good against groups of enemies.

• There are guardian spirits that William can see and infuse into his weapon for a limited time like the flame wolf and the blue owl.

• Guardian spirits appear after you die. (I guess as a helping hand?)

• You will have to decide when to use it apparently, so there might be a limit.

• There are shrines where you level up with the experience you've saved up, and where you can change spirit.

• In some locations you might come across some strange flimmering (can't make out what they call it), which when you approach will spawn a youkai that drops good loot.

• The boss shown is called an onryou (revengeful demon), a powerful oni.

• You heal in realtime so it's important to look for an opening to do so.

• When he heals he infuses his weapon with what looks like a blue owl spirit, different from the fire wolf from earlier.

Dark Souls 3 releases in April in the West.

Someone playing Exist Archive on the show floor. I like everything but the character looks.


Odin Sphere watcamacallit TGS trailer.


Monster Hunter Stories trailers. Maybe I will finally get into the series considering the game is turn-based.

Ghostlight's new Steam release is...Mugen Souls: http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/post/mugen-souls-to-come-to-steam

Bummer.

You gotta be kidding me. After such incline, you go with the much maligned "meh" SRPG?

At least I think it was an SRPG. Then again people on PC think Agarest is good so it actually might do well.

 

[Duraframe300]

Far as I can tell game seems to be based on Xillia, so no surprise.

At least they're preparing one or two more Japanese games for PC, one was never released outsie of Japan.

I hope it's not Moero Chronicles or other Compile Heart games.

 

[Siveon]

We have enough Compile Heart games. Bring us the Generation Xth games dammit!

 

[Reinhardt]

Bring us Atelier games!

 

[Crooked Bee]

Square Enix is teaming up with Perfect World to make Final Fantasy Type-0 Online.

 

[Abu Antar]

This a big surprise to see. Trailer:

TGS 2015 gameplay.

 

[Siveon]

Wow, that game looks so much better that what I played on the PS2. I might consider double dipping for my Vita, honestly.

 

[Siveon]

Technically not a JRPG but I wanted to make a small post for this somewhere:


Trailer for the new game in the Assault Suits series (Cybernator, Dying Earth) looks p. meh.

 

[Infinitron]

Final Fantasy V coming to Steam on September 24. Based on the iPhone port, for better or worse.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/382890/

As Final Fantasy games go, it's one of the better ones. Guess I'll probably give it another whirl.

Released.

 

[LJ40]

Guess I'll probably give it another whirl.

Apparently by this I meant dusting off the GBA, because the Steam reviews so far aren't too kind (usual shit mobile port nonsense).

From the game forum (crop):

Did they playtested this on 7 inch monitors?
