AHHH
AAA JRPG SONY Exclusive
Like the Good Old Days

Nitrowolf24475d ago

This is a day one buy for me. Playstation use to be pumped with JRPG and we need a lot more now. Good to see this and hopefully we get more.

-Alpha4475d ago (Edited 4474d ago )

Amen.

I can barely read the scan, anyone have a bigger image?

NewMonday4474d ago

great time for JRPGs, Tales of Graces also releasing soon. Also Devil Survivor2.

Last Story sometime this year, and Xenoblade for the gamers in NA

Ranma14474d ago (Edited 4474d ago )

Excellent. A good jrpg at least.

I wish FF was getting scores like that these days (FF13-2 got 8/10 from opm).

Need more games like kini no kuni, persona and valkyria chronicles

Studio-YaMi4474d ago

8 is nowhere a bad score....

I didn't like Final Fantasy 13 too,but haven't tried 13-2 yet,it might actually be good ?

Just saying though...an 8/10 is NOT a bad score !
a game doesn't have to be 9 or 10 for you to enjoy it,I enjoy games that are far down from that (5 or 6 !).

Blaine4474d ago

For a Final Fantasy game, 8/10 is abysmal.

VsAssassin4475d ago (Edited 4475d ago )

Some excerpts:

+The magazine gave the game a total score of 9.1, quoting that it's easily one of the most promising games to graze the modern JRPG world!
+Technical and artistic graphics are beautiful and rich!
+Influence ratio: 20% Layton, 40% Ghibli, 30% FF7
+A compelling story and deep, rewarding gameplay!
+Truth: Everyone should give this game a shot; it's worth it!

ReservoirDog3164474d ago

Sounds like everything we hoped it'd be. We have to support games like these or who knows when we'd get another.

Anyone have a release date for the US?

VsAssassin4474d ago

No release date set yet, but Level 5 confirmed it's a 2012 Q1 release. We can bet before April we'll get this gem!

MaxXAttaxX4474d ago

If only it had been 30% FF9 and not 7.

Naahh it's alright.

Julie4475d ago

Yaaaaaay! i want this game and i want bigger scans too! :O

GribbleGrunger4474d ago

try youtube. there are dozens of game trailers on there of this game

TheHater4475d ago

why can't I pre-order this game in North America?

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis11h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast9h ago

It's worth a play through today.

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 6h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 5h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 7h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 7h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 4h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast10h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 3h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast9h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon22h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast9h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon45m ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake3h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast2h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
