Nightmare Mode writer Tom Auxier talks about how Ys: Oath in Felghana could open the way to a nostalgia-fueled revival of the JRPG. He writes,
"Seven years ago, when the game was first made, unleashing a title like Ys: Oath in Felghana on Western PC audiences would have been commercial suicide for Xseed Games. The company, which releases primarily Japanese imports, wouldn’t even have considered it. The Japanese RPG was dying, already dead, or in a slow decomposition, depending on your perspective, and outside of two awkward ports of Final Fantasy titles and some off-beat Western homages the platform had never shown a lot of support to the genre."
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?
From The Gamer: "2020 was a banner year for video game publisher XSEED, releasing nine different titles over the course of the year while exceeding previous highest-sales and fastest-selling records worldwide. This is all especially impressive given the fact that it happened during such an unprecedented year for the industry.
2020 was also the first time that I played a game released by XSEED, Granblue Fantasy: Versus, which led to me playing even more titles including Ys: Memories of Celceta, Kandagawa Jet Girls, and Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, the latter of which ended up as one of my top-ten games 2020. I’m officially all-in on XSEED titles and I can’t wait to experience everything that the Marvelous subsidiary has planned for this year."
Today Xseed games released a new video showing off its releases for 2020 and teasing new and exciting games for 2021.
