The All-Inclusive Upcoming RPG Anticipation/Discussion Thread

It's a pretty good time to be in RPGs. I'm really anticipated by Shadow Hearts 3, since I loved the second one so much. I really hope that it lives up to it's predecessor. Don't forget Suikoden V, which isn't confirmed yet, but it's supposed to come out near the end of this month. It's getting rather good critics in Japan, especially compared to IV, so I'm hyped about it (and it's the Faleena kingdom, who wouldn't like that).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I really hope that they'll give Shadow Hearts 3 a PAL release date sometime soon (if it even gets released here, since there hasn't been any news about it). If not, I'll just have to use illegal ways to get my hands on it.

As for Suikoden V, I'm pretty hyped, since it already looks like a huge improvement from IV (atleast the hero doesn't look like a douche). I'm also probably one of the only people who liked the third game (except for the Trinity System, way too slow), so I haven't written the series of yet.

I'm curious, have you tried Tactis? I know you are a huge fan of FFT, so strategy games might be your interest. I've only been in it for a few hours, but it already has more of the whole pirate atmosphere that I wanted to see in IV.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just because reviewers don't give a game a 9/10, doens't mean that no good games come out. I loved some more recent releases, like Digital Devil Saga, which already ranks pretty high among my favourites, but I personally don't have any interest in DQ8, even if it's supposedly one of the best games in the last years. I tend not to look at review scores anyway.

Legendia is a part of the tales series, like Tales of Phantasia, Destiny or Eternia. The Legaia series only had two games, and I don't think that we'll see another one of those.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It'll still be a while before we see the VP sequel, this thread is mostly for the RPG's coming up in the next few months. It's not even sure yet if the game will receive a US release date, I believe.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Rogue Galaxy is pretty high on my list, although it worries me that we haven't heard a thing since it Japan release last year. There are of course rumours floating around about a summer release, but I personally have my doubts about it.

My most anticipated games are Shadow Hearts 3, I have it already but I can only play on my PS2 during the weekends, and Suikoden V, since it takes place in one of my most anticipated regions since the first games.

I was speaking idiomatically.
