Level-5 (Ni No Kuni) are recruiting staff for a new RPG project: https://www.gematsu.com/2021/07/level-5-recruiting-staff-for-brand-new-rpg-project

Which is a consequence of their mobile Ni No Kuni MMO bringing in unholy amounts of revenue in Asia.
I am a bit uneasy about the entire concept of classical single player JRPGs being carried by the revenue of MMOs with the same IP, but I guess it works for Square Enix, so why not for Level-5?
Overall great news I guess, I love Level-5's charm.

Monster Hunter Stories 2

This one I am quite interested in, but not enough for day 1 purchase. Stories 1 has gotten a bit of a reputation as being a decent monstercatcher, and 2 is supposed to be an all around upgrade. I assume I will have much fun with this 3 years down the line for 1/3rd of the price.

Looks pretty low budget for an anniversary game… Too bad they never ported the much higher quality OG games on steam

Fuck yeah, Getter Robo Armaggedon! Shame I still have to play the other games that were launched for PC (but not OUTSIDE of Asia legally, so it was pirate time). Knight's & Magic is standard isekai drivel with a Mary Sue protagonist that never loses, so no idea how it will fit here. The mecha here are subpar and derivative IMO.

Also, eew, the ugly-as-sin and extra-derivative SRX is back, along with its terrible pilots.

CyberConnect2, the developer, they've been pushing this furry steampunk worlds for a long time. I only played Tail Concerto, PS1 3D action adventure/platformer thing, it was fine.

I played their DS game, it was alright, but the charming art-style made it quite better. Despite the animal humanoids, it's clearly more going for a cartoon angle than furfagottry... Not that this difference will stop such deviants anyway, but that's not the game's fault.

cartoon anime animals are much better for yiffing than furfags' creations, ackshully

Funny thing is that the Little Bronx games are actually a "post-post apocalyptic setting".

In the Solatorobo game it is revealed that humies went extinct after killing each other with Titanomachias, super-weapons of mass destruction, like the tank is implied to be one, but now made better/worse since the tank's most OP weapon needs willing sacrifices.
Either way, in the Srobo game it's also explained that humies hidden somewhere, waiting for their chance to come back. The bad guy in that game was actually a system to reboot the world by terraforming everything, killing all sapient life so that humies can come back.
So, the animal people may be a result of natural evolution, or some sick bastard making a lab experiment that escaped.

Which is why it's extra funny when legit French words are used, or that the Germans start doing German things... Again.

  • “There are currently five or six development lines in effect. Or about 10 when you include Vanillaware and other external companies we’re working with, plus technological research and development.”
  • Project Re Fantasy is progressing little by little, and we hope to deliver it when the timing is right.”
  • “We hope to be able to share more news on Etrian Odyssey to everyone as soon as possible.”

Does the Fuga game feature multiple endings? It should, if only a bad one you get when you kill too many kids.
