I loved Advent Children. Especially after being disappointed by Spirits Within, I saw AC and thought "see that's a Final Fantasy movie."Speaking of FF7, I’ve never actually seen Advent Children. Is it worth getting a copy and setting aside an evening to watch it?
Nayuta releases on my birthday, heck yeah!
We're getting/have gotten a ton lately, though, and Ys X will be next year (I assume?) so they'll keep on coming!They miss Fall by 2 days lol. Glad to have a date, after playing more classic Ys (even though its a Trails game) I've been excited to try this game. And with that we have no Falcom games on deck till next year.
I guess we might hear something around fall. Only 3 games (5 if you count the switch ports of Xanadu and Oath) to catch up on, almost there lol.
Its possible. Ys X will most likely have less dialogue than the Kuro games, so its possible. NIS published the pc version (japanese only) of Kuro recently, so outside of console ports, one would think all that's left is the localization.We're getting/have gotten a ton lately, though, and Ys X will be next year (I assume?) so they'll keep on coming!
I hope you can join the small, but passionate crowd of Fami Trails fans in the Reverie ST in July if you finish CS IV in time and are up for back to back massive RPGsAfter long bouts of procrastination and other games, I finally reached Act 4 in Cold Steel IV!
I can't believe I am almost up to date with the all the entries released in the West!
And to think theres 3 more games waiting to come out over here, the trails journey do be a long one. XD
Very excited for Reverie coming out soon!
I know a few people here were looking forward to the Dragon Quest Dai video game. It should be getting a release date announcement in roughly 48 hours so that’s exciting.
I definitely need to get back to the anime at some point. I was a few episodes shy of episode 50.

Also a shame that for DQ we are not getting any info of DQ3
I would say that ver.1.22 has a better soundtrack overall, but I like the original version of Kainé Salvation and Kainé Escape better.Started the original Nier on PS3 last night. I'm someone who really struggled to find much enjoyment with Automata but Nier is a game I've been interested in ever since I saw my brother playing it like 10+ years ago and I heard the track "Kaine Salvation" So I'm happy to say I'm easily enjoying this a lot more than Automata. The combat is simple but serviceable right now, characters are interesting and dialogue has some nice humour to it. I already like the dynamic between Weiss and Papa Nier and I'm a sucker for dad saving daughter stories so it got me involved right away. Just has that feeling that a few PS3 rpgs have to me where it's that kind of inbetween point between more modern games and older style jrpgs. Also, not to make it too much of a comparison between the original Nier and Automata but the more fantasy style of Nier is also much more appealing than the sci fi type stuff of Automata. Good stuff so far.
As for why I'm playing the PS3 version and not the remaster that came out a while ago. I'm not as interested in the brother character compared to the father character and also from the little I've heard I don't like the changes they made to the soundtrack. As I mentioned before Kaine Salvation was such a unique and great sounding piece of music that I heard all those years ago that really solidified my desire to play Nier. Well, listening to the remastered version and I just don't like it anywhere near as much. Music always plays a very large part in the games I enjoy so I'm happy to sacrifice some of the modernities of the remaster if it means I get the better soundtrack.
Assuming I stick with the game, beat it, and enjoy it, I do plan to play the remastered version at some point as well. But right now I'm very happy with my choice to play the original version first.
Same here. I started Apocalypse early this year (and stopped) so I wouldn't mind buying an HD version, more smt is always welcomed.Hell yeah Dragon Quest Day!
Also it’s the 10th Anniversary for SMTIV, my favorite in the series. I really hope that remaster rumor is real and we see it in the next few weeks
If it’s real, I would bet it’ll be during the Xbox show much like how they had Persona last year. Can’t rule out SGF either, but they’re only a couple days apart anywaySame here. I started Apocalypse early this year (and stopped) so I wouldn't mind buying an HD version, more smt is always welcomed.
Also since they are doing EO, they need to port Strange Journey Redux, my gateway and favorite entry.

I already have so much on my plate but I'd be tempted to drop it all for IV. What a gem! The vibes are impeccable, need more.Also it’s the 10th Anniversary for SMTIV, my favorite in the series. I really hope that remaster rumor is real and we see it in the next few weeks
DQ Infinity strash to launch on Sept 28
EDIT: Added the trailer
Has to be the year right? I wonder if the reason it is taking so long is that they went ahead and made the full NES trilogy like they were kicking around.Meanwhile waiting for news of DQ3 2DHD
I don't know , this was announced on may 2021, and the only news so far was Horii "you are going to get it". I would say DQ day would be a good day to announce more info alas SQE doesn't think so. On the other hand this is like THE iconic HD2D remake so I guess the don't want to show anything that's not up to the quality everyone expectsHas to be the year right?

Looks great. I hope they have a demo, because I need to know how combat feels.Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai launches September 28 for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Switch, and PC

Gematsu has a bunch of details. It is still a worldwide release and they added an Xbox version so everyone can play!
It’s also a game I could see reappearing first in an event, most likely a Direct at this point.

Hopefully they aren't obligatory, that's my only wish. Hated the defense missions in 8, then they doubled down on 9 with them and they really don't offer anything interesting, it's just padding. If the naval battles do offer something different I'm in, but so far based on the previous 2 games, seems to go in the same effect of the defense missionsYS X gameplay
Ys X: Nordics gameplay – field and naval combat
Falcom premiered five minutes of new Ys X: Nordics gameplay showcasing field and naval combat during a Dengeki Online live stream today.www.gematsu.com
on-foot gameplay looks super fun, not sure how i feel about the naval battles though...
I'd be fine if naval missions were effectively replacing defense missions, since I didn't really like those either. I just don't like anything in games that gives you a letter grade, and holds unique rewards behind the best grades.Hopefully they aren't obligatory, that's my only wish.

It's crazy to me that we've had both Live a Live and Octopath 2 announced and released in the time since DQ3's announcement and still not another word about it.Meanwhile waiting for news of DQ3 2DHD
COnsidering pretty much every version after the SNES one has been the base one , I don't see them returning to the base NES version. The additional classes , items and rebalanced stuff makes the game work better. I could see some rebalancing to the personality system thoughIt's crazy to me that we've had both Live a Live and Octopath 2 announced and released in the time since DQ3's announcement and still not another word about it.
edit: Also, after the FF pixel remasters, does anyone else think DQ3 2D-HD could just have the bare bones NES content? No thief class, nor personality system, etc.
Honestly I hope the release something new, not that I have anything about the supposed remasters / ports of previious SMT/Persona games, but I really want something I haven't playedEtrian Odyssey remasters are out! I'm probably going to pick up EO3 and at least give it a shot.
Now that those are released, I'm definitely watching Atlus to see what they have next in the pipeline - they tend to focus mostly on one game at a time for marketing and hype purposes, and they now have nothing announced. So I think it's about time for us to see their next game during SGF/XBOX/etc. in the coming weeks.
Well for brand new stuff, we know that RE:Fantasy is a thing, and Persona 6 is coming at some point. But both of those could still be a ways off. So I'm pretty much just expecting either SMT remasters, or maybe an SMTV pseudo-expansion, or Persona 3 Remake to be the next thing up.Honestly I hope the release something new, not that I have anything about the supposed remasters / ports of previious SMT/Persona games, but I really want something I haven't played
The pixel remasters were intentionally faithful to their original versions, so I don't see how that relates to dragon quest. Plus the (few) screenshots they shared from 2 years ago showed a person sitting in front of a message board by the castle entrance in Aliahan, which IIRC is not in any other version of the game. So there are changes already (and if I had to guess, the message board could point to something like a quest list).It's crazy to me that we've had both Live a Live and Octopath 2 announced and released in the time since DQ3's announcement and still not another word about it.

Here’s hoping it’s actually the “best of all worlds” version that fans have been wanting for years (merging the best parts of FES, the original, and P3P)
