They already fucked up once with that 3DS "we want FE Awakening audience" title. I guess remakes are a safer bet in this case?

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
The Last Remnant will be delisted from Steam in 10 days. If you want to get the game, get it now. If you’re a fan of SaGa games, I’d say it’s a no-brainer.

I've had that forever but still haven't really played it as I fear I am not autistic enough to really maximize my parties.

Did they announce why?
Not as far as I know. There’s an announcement on the game’s Steam page. That’s all. I’m surprised as there isn’t supposed to be any liscensed songs or anything of the sort.

The problem with this shit is less of wanting FE audience and more of truly shitty gameplay. It would be fine but not good if at least they managed to make a good copy of FE formula they failed the gameplay spectacularly with that.

I'm betting on a remaster (10th Anniversary Edition?). Well, Tokyo Game Show is a month away...

New Ys game in the works!

https://www.actugaming.net/notre-in...-nihon-falcom-ys-the-legend-of-heroes-161103/

>TK: Regarding the Ys series, we are working on a new game. It will not be a remake but a brand new title. It will be about Adol and it will be right after the events of Ys VIII. I hope you will look forward to it.

Wahhooo! Now let us all join hands and pray for the removal of the blasphemous party system, and severe nerfing (If not complete abolishment) of the Perfect Guard systems.

Yeah, I'm playing 7 ATM and it's... OK, I guess. Problem is, 6-Felghana-Origin were just much better in probably every aspect. :cry:

Cool game made by a Spaniard, but not a JRPG or RPG of any kind. At most, a Castlevania clone, which is "just" a Japanese game.

Mostly nothing, but an update is an update.

Here are the tidbits:
  • “We’re working hard on it. Yes, it really is in development. (Laughs.)”
  • “Mostly everything, from existing demons to new characters, is currently running on the hardware.”
  • “We’re making a game with content appropriate for a numbered title and without any compromises.”
  • “We’ll share an update when time is ripe, so please wait a little longer.”
  • “We’re constantly considering a port or remake of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. We’re thinking we want to watch for an opportunity.”

Now that we are on age of Dark Souls and NiOh I wished we could get new Onimusha games. Onimusha was NiOh before it was cool and I enjoyed all 4 games in PS2.

Companies are truly scrapping the bottom of the barrel, then shaking the barrel to let loose the remains.
