Nayuta no Kiseki is the latest title of the popular Kiseki JRPG series by Falcom, and has been released in Japan a few days ago for the PSP.
Today the veteran developer released a TV commercial that is airing on several Japanese TV channels.
Japanator: "It's hard to describe just how fantastic Nayuta no Kiseki actually is, but perhaps the best compliment that I can give it is that it feels like a long lost PSX era action game. Brimming with charm and telling a fun, character driven story, Nayuta no Kiseki is a fantastic action RPG that no fan of the genre should miss. For those of you who've been on the fence about diving into the Kiseki series, this is the perfect opportunity to test the waters and see if Falcom's unique brand of storytelling is up your alley or not."
The PSP has been winding down in North America over the last few years, and with the Vita on the market, publishers are hesitant to bring over games late in the portable’s life cycle – many of which are RPGs. As an RPG fan, I yearn for and wonder about these games. Maybe an opportunity will arise to bring them digitally to PSN for play on both the PSP and Vita, but until then, I’ve selected eight games that came late in the PSP’s lifespan. Sadly, we will probably always pine for these to release in English.
I would love to see Sol Trigger and Final Fantasy Type-0 come stateside. They both look interesting and Type-0 looks like the first breath of fresh air we would get since 13.
I'm ok with that. They would sell more Vita's if they would just localize these games for download.
I'm not so sure about them not getting released in other regions. The Vita will eventually get these PSP games and then they'll have a second market to aim for. To me it makes financial sense to release them worldwide.
I don't know if it's a bad thing. Many of these games will be localized, and because the PSP itself is pretty cheap, it's more incentive to pick up the system and get these games.
Some of the games would never have made it West anyway, but with the digital aspect of things picking up- and the Vita promoting such play- developers and publishers may find it worth it to release the game digitally. And even though it might be more promoted for the Vita, it'd still be available for those who have PSPs.
Still waiting to see Type-0 and it's kind of an annoyance that it hasn't been released yet.
Really..? Well damn thanks for at least letting me know the reason. Sucks that it falls on that :(
GameSpot: "Anyone who thinks that the PSP should be put to pasture may want to reconsider, as the system is still a-ticking over sales-wise in Japan. Ys creators Falcom are still sticking to the system before their official "move" to the Vita with Ys: Celceta Tree, and it goes to show with their latest action game Nayuta no Kiseki."
