I’ve played both Frontier and Tides of Destiny and, while each game has gameplay aspects that bug me (not the fault of either XSEED or Natsume respectively), I found the localizations of both to be well done.
But to say that Natsume should be the only one that publishes these games is like saying that Bayonetta 2 shouldn’t be a Wii U exclusive because the first game wasn’t on the Wii – which, in turn, is like saying that Final Fantasy should only be on Nintendo consoles because the series started on the NES. Stuff happens, things change."
Total worldwide sales for Pocky & Rocky Reshrined have surpassed 100,000 units, publisher Natsume Atari and developer Tengo Project announced. Pocky & Rocky Reshrined first launched for PlayStation 4 and Switch on April 21 in Japan, followed by June 24 worldwide.
With Rune Factory 5 on the horizon, XSEED Games is taking a moment out of its busy schedule to celebrate the series' history with a special 15th anniversary trailer.
Didn't RF5 already release in Japan half-baked and full of framerate and loading issues? Did they fix anything?
