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 4475d ago )

Amen.

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

NewMonday4475d 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

Ranma14475d ago (Edited 4475d 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-YaMi4475d 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 !).

Blaine4475d 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!

ReservoirDog3164475d 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?

VsAssassin4475d 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

GribbleGrunger4475d ago

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

TheHater4475d ago

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo53m ago(Edited 52m ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6943m ago(Edited 43m ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos6h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto6h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger885h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

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

Furesis23h ago

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

anast21h ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake14h ago
