PS Blog: Prepare to leave your world behind because Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky is coming to PS4 and PS Vita on October 18!
GD365: "Today, we have several off-the-radar game deals to highlight. All of the deals are for physical, boxed copies. Plus, there’s a deal on an Amiibo Super Smash Bros. Series Figure (Zelda) from Japan."
Some games have a rather unusual way of conveying information and taking people on an adventure, and we then see that mechanic mimicked. Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution and GuitarFreaks led to games like Pump It Up and Guitar Hero. Tri-Ace’s Valkyrie Profile is a similar sort. It’s an RPG, but blends in platforming and a more active interface for engaging in attacks. But, as interesting as its ideas were, they didn’t really influence other games at the time. Rather, it took years for other titles to start picking up on the concepts and attempting to integrate them into their own experiences.
It's such a tired concept to have a lot of people get killed on Earth and then be granted immortality by a god, along with massive combat prowess. Exist Archive represents yet another iteration of this incredibly common idea.
Well this came out of nowhere! This the closest thing we can get in terms of a current-gen Valkyrie Profile game (because we all know that the next VP game is a mobile title... eh).
YES! Nice to see its getting a NA release! Hope EU gets announces soon though, our buddies in EU always getting it late!
Releasing so close after FFXV? This is DOA
Right on. I love both Star Ocean and Valkyrie series. This is a must have in my collection.
Oh capital! As a massive fan of tri-Ace RPGs I will be happy to add this to my Vita collection. If I enjoy the Vita release a lot, I'll be sure to make a point of getting the PS4 version too.
