Has the sequel been announced for US?

Millionaire5028d ago

Lol. I think we're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves here? Let the game be released here first then we'll talk about the 2nd one.

Anyways, I already preordered the game. This is the only game that I will be buying in full price this coming months. I'll wait for a price drop for the other ones...

zatrox5028d ago

...We might get it by next year, if lucky.

ExiesBestFan5028d ago

I'm sorry, I love JRPG's but dammit can we get something more serious, Please?

I want to see some sword & magic battling.

I'm really not angry just don't care for this new format.

zatrox5028d ago

Atelier games are all about crafting and doing side-quests, as well as funny dialog.
Well, at least Annie and Rorona are.

Da One5027d ago

I don't know why people have a problem with NIS or Gust games, they make certain types of fames always will always have. They're not going to just stop.

Gue15027d ago

Same boat here but I do hate NIS games, too much comedy and shit in it and all of them are same. I'm alway seeing vids of this new Atelier to get motivated but I just can't... It is like if I wanted to watch animes like Raxephon, Evangelion, Tekkaman Blade, Black Lagoon, Code Geass, Darker than Black but they keep bringing shit like K-on, Durarara, Mayoi Neko Overrun, etc.

But the irony is that all the more serious jrpg's like Last Story, Xenoblade, Tales of Graces are all on the Wii!!! Can't we PS3 owners at least get a game like Tales of Vesperia? I want a new Persona game or Valkyria Chronicles 3 or maybe a new IP that doesn't involve silly looking pre-teen characters trying to save a magic shop with a voice acting that sounds like a very kiddy satuday morning cartoon. Is that too much to ask?

Redempteur5027d ago

some people can enjoy nis games AND serious games .i'm playing trinity universe ATM .. and some part of silly dialog and comedy is very welcome when you're into a solid dongeon rpg ...

in other words "you can like moe and gar"
^^^^^^ kudos for those who understand ..

ranmafandude5027d ago

can't stop this jrpg craving i have no matter how many i buy lol.

Last-gen JRPGs you may have missed

GameZone's Mandi Odoerfer writes: "When it comes to JRPGs, developers like Atlus and Monolith Soft have given us plenty of reasons to be excited about the future. However, that doesn't mean we should forget the past. Over the course of the last generation, there were a number of very good games that managed to fly under the radar."

Resonance of Fate. Amazing battle system that - in my opinion - is what FF13's battle system should've been. I also like how they included The Last Remnant. That game flopped hard. It was way too complex with not enough explanation, but if you get into the game and learn the systems, it's really, really cool.

Another one to add to the list: Radiant Historia.

Lon3wolf3758d ago

Just going through TLR again now on Steam (I lost all my 50+ hr progress last year due to HDD failure and only just felt like starting from scratch). As you say it is quite complex but once you get it you really get it, shame it was so overlooked. Just bought RoF again for my PS3 love the battle system, the map/hex system not so much. Got everything else on that list apart from Arland. Surprised Folklore was not on that list as that appears to be overlooked a lot.

"Resonance of Fate. Amazing battle system that - in my opinion - is what FF13's battle system should've been"

I love the paradigm system of XIII & XIII-2. RoF battle system seemed to be more about guns, ammo & party placement.

In a nutshell. RoF battle system is overly complex. (NOT HARD, just complex) FFXIII's battle system is the opposite.

CLOUD19833758d ago

How they skip to mention Xenoblade? although it got perfect reviews the sales was not so gr8 as it deserve so no brain lot's of JRPG fans skip this game, especially when it's so hard to find a copy or even if u find one u must be ready to pay quite a lot...

Anyway I'm sure lot's of ppl didn't play this game & that's really a shame, I suggest to all JRPG fans out there to play this game maybe a few won't like it but I guarantee that those who do r going to have an unforgettable experience & Xenoblade will become one of their all time favorite games of the previous generation.

Lon3wolf3758d ago

Trouble is finding a copy now that is not over-priced (I live/am looking at UK/Europe territory).

dboyman3758d ago (Edited 3758d ago )

I agree, especially for North America as well. Nintendo bungled up the release for the game, and was impossible to get from the get go ( especially in my area). I know many who prefer to buy the game, had to resort to download the iso to play it. If Nintendo would get a clue, they should do a re-release of the game on the Nintendo Wii or WiiU...

Lost Odyssey
The Last Remnant

for me there is no x360 if these games not exclusives

Lon3wolf3758d ago

So if The Last Remnant was on Steam (which it is) the 360 ceases to be a good console to you? Or are you talking about console exclusives?

Hicken3758d ago

Well, for myself, Lost Odyssey is one of the few reasons I wanted a 360.

3758d ago
Lon3wolf3758d ago

@Kalkano, yeah I have a 360 (well the kids use it more nowadays) and LO (will play that again soon too) but a PC release would be nice. TLR with a sweetfx config and making a few changes in one of the ini files and it looks real nice (along with fixing the Unreal Engine texture pop in issue).

MWH3758d ago (Edited 3758d ago )

Eternal Sonata was beautiful and fun, if only it wasn't for that ending..
