Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
New Chrono Trigger Form-ism figures of Crono and Marle have been showcased at a Square Enix pop-up store, with pre-orders expected soon.
The PlayStation 2 was the golden age of Japanese RPGs. Many great titles were released during that time, but some excellent games did not get the attention
Super short list, but of course Dark Cloud 2 and Rogue Galaxy would make this list.
They did release both of those games on PS4 though. Two of the very few games I was happy to "buy" digitally, and with trophies.
To the portable and mobile space. More than a few stragglers on the PS3 - Atelier, Neptunia, Ni No Kuni, Xillia, etc - and "X" on the Wii U. That's about it for HD consoles.
Portables mainly, such as the PSP, DS, 3DS and Vita.
There are a crap load for portables. I think a lot of JRPG developers got scared with the whole HD consoles and having to pretty up their games.
But lets hope this changes with the new consoles. Graphics aren't everything.
3DS.
You could have chosen a better picture.
