FFVIIR ain't coming this year

indysurfn2593d ago

I'd agree if it is a turn based game.

On the other hand if it is a action based game Square has always said they can make a good action rpg in 2-3 years, and a turn based one in 6 years. But that's not the only reason.

So seeing how it will be broken up into episodes, and it may be a action rpg (I don't actually believe this part myself) but in that case it could come out this year. In Japan at least IF it is action based.

indysurfn2593d ago

For me Trails of cold steel 3 (pre pay for that one)
FFVII remake (depending on gameplay)
Dragon Quest XI
Ni no Kuni 2

TheGamez1002594d ago

Sweet, nice to see fellow fans of the falcom games.

nodim2594d ago

Half of those games are not coming west this year (or not even releasing in japan yet), your list is somewhat worthless.

PlayableGamez-2594d ago (Edited 2594d ago )

I saw gameplay of valkyria revolution. That game look terrible..

ShadowWolf7122594d ago

You saw Beta gameplay, after which they've made extensive tweaks and alterations.

_-EDMIX-_2594d ago

Good thing I'll be playing it and not just looking at it =)

ShadowWolf7122594d ago

The Longest 5 Minutes looks really interesting. Glad it's on Vita too, may get.

And of course I gotta get LoH, Valkyria and AB. Def DQ XI if it comes this year too.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2594d ago

For me:
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Fire Emblem Echoes
Ni No Kuni II
Monster Hunter Stories
Tokyo Xanadu
Ever Oasis
project Octopath Travelers

I would put The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III and Dragon QuestXI on there but those aren't coming to the west anytime soon.

Valkyria Revolution Review – Take a Chance on Me

Gary Green said: I’m always happy to stick up for an underdog. I’m nice like that. It does sadden me when a perfectly serviceable game gets dragged through the wringer of critique, simply because other games have handled similar themes and gameplay with better results over the years. Despite this, I don’t really feel like I’ve done Valkyria Revolution justice in previous drafts of this review. Time for a re-write. Let’s do this properly. Valkyria Revolution might not be perfect, but it still deserves its chance to shine.

Where the Heck is Ni No Kuni 3, Mun?

Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."

While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?

phoenixwing149d ago

I thought the dev recently went mobile and Japan only. They shut down their American offices. So don't expect anything for consoles

shinoff2183148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

I swear they just announced a few new games.

phoenixwing148d ago

I stand corrected then. Never heard about these games and also i just remember ni no kuni online being mobile only.

Michiel1989148d ago

they said a loooooong time ago that Level 5 was working on a new installment but there has been no news since afaik. I just hope that they take more inspiration from 1 than 2, especially when it comes to the story.

thorstein148d ago

Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is the mobile game you're thinking of.

It looks amazing but I don't like to play mobile games.

Yeah the sequel was okay but had nothing on the first game, especially the battle system.

The story just didn't have that charm and even the twist at the end of the game wasn't really anything cool like Wrath of the White Witch.

Also the fact there was like ZERO mention of Oliver or his adventures in the game, no references, nothing was such weird. It's set a hundred or so years after but still, I'd have expected to seen some throw backs. I think we just got like a temple with his statue in it or something.

goldwyncq148d ago

If you want more Oliver, just watch the movie.

shinoff2183148d ago

Fking word. I've been hoping for this for quite some time.

melons148d ago

The premium games didn't sell amazingly, right?

shinoff2183148d ago

Not to sure. They should of though. They were pretty good. I like both.

Michiel1989148d ago

yeah, especially outside of japan. They should have released on pc at the same time as the ps3 version or a short time after.

Inverno148d ago

They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!

Not a bad game but not as good as the first game unfortunately.
