  • New Final Fantasy XIII Screens

    A few new screens have surfaced for Final Fantasy XIII in V-Jump, a Japanese video game and manga magazine. There are a few details about the game we have been able to decipher despite knowning no Japanese. There appears to be a very prominent red-headed female character that is reminiscent of Rikku from Final Fantasy…

  • Atlus Announces The Dark Spire

    The Dark Spire is a first person role playing game for the DS. Seems a bit like Etrian Odyssey, but darker, it looks really cool. There is a “classic” interface (crappy graphics) and a “modern” interface (less crappy graphics). [ The Dark Spire ]

  • Robo’s Theme – Never Gonna Give You Up

    Kotaku kind of ruined Chrono Trigger / Robo’s Theme for me the other day, pointing out the theme is basically just Never Gonna Give You Up (combined here). I would have never noticed. The interesting part is the composer of the Chrono Trigger soundtrack, Yasunori Mitsuda, swears he never heard of Rick Astley before: “It…

  • Atlus Announces My World My Way

    Are you sick of typical RPG’s that have “gender-confused boy heroes with their spikey hair and ginormous swords living out an absurd ultimate fantasy?” Well, apparently, My World My Way is the game for you. Originally released in Japan as The World Revolves Around Me, this totally amazing DS game has you controlling Elise as…

  • Mother 3 English Language Patch Out This Week

    Earthbound (Mother 2 in Japan) on the SNES was pretty awesome, it was an original take on the RPG genre. Turns out it didn’t sell so well in the U.S., though. Then, in 2006 Mother 3 was released in Japan for the GBA. U.S. fans hoped and prayed and protested for a North American release,…

  • Tales of Vesperia DLC – Buy Gold, Skills, Levels

    So far, I like Tales of Vesperia, it’s pretty fun. However if, at some point in the future, I no longer feel like playing the game but still want to level up I may be in luck. Japanese players can purchase additional levels, gold, and new skills. Here’s the pricing: Level Up +10 (1) 300…

  • U.S. to Get Chrono Trigger DS Before Japan?

    The good news is that North America gets Chrono Trigger DS on November 25th, two whole days before Japan gets it on the 27th. The bad news is, in Japan, they get “CHRONO TRIGGER ORCHESTRA EXTRA SOUNDTRACKS” when pre-ordering the game. The CD contains two tracks, “Chrono Trigger Orchestral Version” and “Chrono Trigger Orchestral Medley.”…

  • Final Fantasy XIII Coming To Xbox 360

    Holy shit, this is great news. At the Microsoft E3 conference, it was officially announced by Square Enix president Yoichi Wada that Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the Xbox 360, and should be released alongside the PS3 version. That’s totally awesome…but I guess it sucks for Sony that’s it’s no longer exclusive. Also, Star…

  • Atlus Hints at Announcement

    I receive email announcements from Atlus telling me all about the latest happenings and various other information about upcoming Atlus titles. Today, I receive this (click to view it at a higher resolution): I have no idea what it means, I really can’t think what game this would be referring too, but it links here.…

  • Venetica Announced For 360 And PC

    Venetica is an upcoming RPG by Deck 13 and DTP Entertainment. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of either of them before, but apparently Deck 13 is a big deal in Germany. In the game you play as death’s daughter, which maybe could be cool but also could end up incredibly lame. The graphics don’t…
