Suikoden fans have waited (for what seems like ages) for Suikoden’s spiritual sequel, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. That one is the traditional RPG that is being helmed by Yoshitaka Murayama (Suikoden 1-3), born out of a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign. However, this game has been pushed back to 2023 (which is fine by me as…
With over 115 million consoles sold (to Xbox One’s 50 million), the PlayStation 4 clearly won the previous generation’s sales race. As the old saying goes: “With great console sales comes great software sales numbers.” Okay, I made that up, but nonetheless, it doesn’t make the statement any less true. Here are the top Role-Playing…
At this point, Level-5 is a legendary (as far as J-RPG development is concerned) developer. The Team is responsible for the Dark Cloud series, The Ni No Kuni series, Rogue Galaxy, and Dragon Quest VIII (among other titles). Today, I have decided to take a look back at Rogue Galaxy, Level-5’s last PlayStation 2 epic….
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin should have shined during its initial reveal thanks to its unique premise. Instead, however, the game’s initial trailer turned into a flood of memes thanks to the repetitive (and silly) reference to Chaos. According to Kotaku, Square Enix wasn’t too pleased that one of their most important upcoming releases…
Square Enix announced, via new trailer, that Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier arrives on November for iOS, and Android platforms with expected “In-App Purchases” (aren’t these purchases the sole reason for the existence of mobile games these days?). What is Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier? Square Enix’s attempt at a Fortnite clone? Basically,…
The PlayStation 3 had a wide wealth of JRPGs in its library. From Ni No Kuni to NIER, the system had some incredible games in the genre. Today, we list what gamers think are the best Japanese Role-Playing Games (as opposed to RPGs) on Metacritc on the PlayStation 3. The same rules for listing each…
Sony announced, yesterday, its acquisition of Bluepoint games. The developer is better known for a number of remasters, and highly acclaimed remakes such as Shadow of the Colossus, and Demon’s Souls. That said, the company was adamant about the fact that Bluepoint would work on an original IP (Sony’s bread and butter). And yet, today,…
This week, I listed the top 5 JRPGs for the Xbox 360 according to critics. Fans were in disagreement over the list, pointing to Lost Odyssey’s omission (though I clearly felt it should have overtaken FFXIII), and other misses such as, the weirdly named, Infinite Undiscovery. Unfortunately, Infinite Undiscovery fell through the cracks. It was…
I have written plenty on Nintendo, and the Nintendo 64’s blunders in losing ground to Sony’s PlayStation in the mid to late 1990s. But today, it is about honoring Nintendo’s last cartridge based console, as it is, undoubtedly, my favorite Video Gaming system, ever. 25 years ago I was 11 (about to turn 12) The…
Microsoft’s most successful console has so far has been the Xbox 360. Red Ring Death issues aside, the console fought Sony’s PlayStation 3 to a near standstill (84 million to 87 million). This meant that many of us owned one, and thus, played some JRPGs on the system. Today we are listing the system’s best,…
