Tales of Xillia 2? What next?

Wow. Not only are we getting Tales of Xillia but they just announced that the sequel will be coming Stateside as well. That is great! We have had a great slew of titles that come over a long wait. What are others and unexpected...

project rainfall

There are three major games people wanted from Nintendo (and I wanted) that finally made it over here, that happening to be Xenoblade Chronicles, considered one of the best (if not the best) JRPG that came out this generation, the others being The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower.

lucky arrivals

I didn’t expect Project X Zone would come over here. It is a welcome surprise. The installed base of the 3DS though I believe allows it to take bigger risks. How can’t anyone get excited with such a huge crossover? Anyway, the other being Fire Emblem Awakening and considering its history it’s a bit of a surprise coming here. It’s good that it has since it’s considered one of the best 3DS titles and likely will be one of the best games on the 3DS. It’s a title that I am ashamed I haven’t yet picked up but will. The last one here listed is Hatsune Miku Project Diva F. I have played the Vita version extensively and love its rhythm premise. It’s a pretty deep game that extends beyond the key rhythm gameplay. I thought this one was surely not going to come.

Yakuza 5, when?

What about games we haven’t got yet. I pretty much gave up on Final Fantasy: Type-0 coming here. It’s been so long now. The title I do want pretty badly is Yakuza 5. It’s a way more ambitious title than any of the prior titles. Besides being centered mainly in one city, it’s expanded to many which is nice. I am also excited by the new characters and love to see how the story unfolds. I had enjoyed the series so far.  The story in the series had always been strong, loved the great side missions, and has a fun combat system. It’s sad we didn’t get it yet. If Hatsune Miku Project Diva F is coming, than why would Sega hold back on this title? It is a shame but considering the long wait it took the games to come Stateside, I will hold on hope.

Is there a title out there you want to come Stateside?

I was disappointed in Last Story, even though I liked a lot of it.  I'm glad I bought it, and glad it came over here though. 

I'm playing Xenoblade now.  Damn those battle voices! 

I don't know what I'd like here.  I would love to play the new Yakuza game, for sure.

I have The Last Story but yet to play it. I think we are getting a pretty decent slew of games coming Stateside now. Xseed seems to be covering good basis and I think this generation and so on with digital downloads that risk is easier to make. I say as an example of Arcana Hearts 3 on the PSN.

yeah digital downloads are a boon to smaller developers.

I'm pretty sure I'll get Xillia 1 & 2.  I'll more than likely get Yakuza 5 too, though I still have yet to put in more than a few hours into Yakuza 3 and hadn't played Yakuza 4.  

I'm so behind in the current rpgs.  I do own them, but don't take the time to play them.  I have Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower on the Wii and I hadn't even opened them yet.  I picked up Project X and Fire Emblem not long ago and I don't even own a 3DS to play them on.  I'm freaking drowning in rpgs.  I really need to start playing them.

I'm definitely getting both Xillias. I've already gotten the three Op Rainfall Wii RPGs and Project X Zone. As long as we get great RPGs from Japan, I'll yssupport them. This has been the best time for Japanese RPGs since the PS1 days IMO.

I have Tales of Xillia currently on pre-order. I had for the longest considered the collector's edition but its sold out everywhere. Oh well. More money toward more games.

I want the Yakuza 1 HD remake on WiiU. I want to start the series from game one. 

I played a bit of Type-0. Too bad there's no news about release on PSVITA. I was really sure about that.

Having the series coming Stateside is a good idea. The Wii U really needs more games and Nintendo should bring it Stateside of Sega won't.

We are definitely in the midst of a great JRPG resurgence. This is awesome, as I CAN NOT WAIT to play Tales of Xillia, Xillia 2, Symphonia Chronicles, KH 1.5, the eventual 2.5 and FFXV. That said, Idk where I'm gonna find all the time to play these games. That said, i already have games like Xenoblade, Valkyria Chronicles, Persona 3 FES and FFVI backlogged. As great as it is, I feel like i may never get to experience some of these...

Namco Bandai deserves a lot of credit for giving us so many JRPGs and even RPGs like Dark Souls and its sequel. I am on good terms with them and they have been doing a lot while Square Enix has been upsetting me.

I am surprised we got Project X Zone, especially since we didn't get the PS2 predecessor: Namco X Capcom.

I'll have to try out that Hatsune Miku game when it comes to the PS3.

One game series from Japan I wish we got more of was Taiko Drum Master.  I loved the PS2 version we got in the US, and I imported all the other ones I could on the region free portables.

I remember the PS2 game. I am surprised too but maybe its not as ambitious so easy to port. Who knows. Its cool that we got it. I believe you will really enjoy Hatsune Miku. I at least enjoyed the Vita version.
