gamrReview's Karl Koebke: "It's the slow season for gaming so as always it's time to reflect on the things you'll be able to buy when the release schedule isn't so damn barren. Since I'm a JRPG fan at heart I've made a list of what fellow fans can expect in 2013. If a game you were thinking would be here isn't then it's probably because I don't have high hopes for it releasing in the West in 2013 (Shin Megami Tensei IV, Final Fantasy Vs. 13), I forgot about it, or I'm sick and tired of Lightning. Without further ado, here's the list."
Today it was announced that the gaming and anime industry has lost another beloved artist and creator. Mutsumi Inomata has passed away.
The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.
Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(
I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”
Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."
While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?
They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!
Get ready to embark on a journey filled with monsters, magic, and overpowered haircuts, because this list features the best JRPGs on the PS3.
There wasn't that many. Thanks to the west's criticism. It was definitely lacking compared to every other ps system. Dont get me wrong there were a few good ones i know that.
Only gripe I have with Ar Tonelico 3 is that Saki is annoying as hell whether English or in Japanese. Then Saki's English voice actor became Ionasal on Ar Nosurge she was a little annoying but not as bad. Johnny Young Bosch voicing Tatsumi I thought he did a great job. And Akiko Shikata with her vocals and the music from the games just went hand and hand.
ni no kuni is Most Anticipated JRPG of 2013
Ys, Tales of Xillia, and Bravely Default NEED to hurry up and get outside of Japan dangit...
Man, what happened to The Witch and the Hundred Knights. That game looks to be a good break from their usual SRPGs.
Time for Persona 5. Way overdue.
