Game Podunk got information from GameQuestDirect regarding news of two game reprints. Quote: "We bring you Reprint Update to let you know a little something about the latest reprints we find out about. We recently received word from GameQuestDirect that they have been able to reprint two great games, Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War for the PS3 and Shadow Hearts: From the New World for the PS2. Fans of both games should be pleased to hear this news."
Many JRPGs have been ported over to the PC, but many are still inexorably linked to gaming consoles. Given that PC gaming is on the rise, here are ten JRPGs that deserve a place on PCs.
I would be so happy if Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King came to PC, it's one of my favourite JRPG's of all time. Saying that, i could just play it on the emulator PCSX2.
All I want is a Valkyria Chronicles 2 & 3 (fully localised) HD remaster collection.

"Now that Sony is bringing PS2 games upscaled in 1080p and also includes trophies on the PlayStation 4, many JRPG gamers got excited with this idea as the PS2 had some of the best JRPGs ever released on any platform. If you grew up playing JRPGs on the Playstation 2, now is the time to get excited as maybe your all-time favorites will make a debut on the PlayStation 4." - JPS
How about every JRPG released on the PS2? That seems about right.
And i want FFXII on PS4 now!

Quite liked one of the hack games. Never finished it and haven't a clue where it's gone so I wouldn't mind giving that another go.
Not upscaled, rendered in 1080p. All upscaled would mean is that the game takes up the entire screen instead of only the pixels it would require (or maybe set to a 4:3 aspect)
RPG's have a tendency to be a long drawn out gameplay experience, Jon has provided a list of 5 RPG's that are worth sinking your valuable time into.
Baldur's Gate, Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Knights of the Old Republic, The Witcher, Mass Effect + Dragon Age (the first ones anyway)...
Icewind Dale II, Neverwinter Nights, Shadowrun (NES & Gen) (Shadowrun Returns is tomorrow BTW), ...
Phenomenal RPGs.
And Koudelka too, if you're hardcore and want some B/C action.
I agree with you. The Shadow Hearts series are great RPGs. Even Bladestorm, which isn't a game I thought I would like, is worth playing.
I'm not really that familiar with these games... it's a shame that GQD couldn't get reprints of SH 1 & 2 as well.
Well, I think they wanted to reprint the first two Shadow Hearts games but since Midway is in the slump they're in, it was impossible. I would have loved a reprint for all three so I could have the whole series.
