Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines (Vita/ JRPG) announced for western release

It's one of those "your bloodline has been cursed to age to adulthood and die within five years so you play multiple generations of the same clan that you create and manage your characters'life span and breeding with deities"

Ehhhh. That's a turn off.

Sony, how about a JRPG where we play as a compelling lead for once. Y'know, somebody with a personality!

The first Oreshika always had a nice cover. And goddammit, I did not want to buy a Vita.

It only took 25 years for a Masuda game to be release outside Japan...
I hope people in the west will appreciate the uniqueness of his game design philosophy.
 
Huh? There's heaps of RPGs like that, this one is actually really unique.

Well, we just got Soul Sacrifice Delta and Freedom Wars announced for localisation today also, and they're both the same as this in that you create your own character. I want something from Sony akin to Legend of Dragoon.

Wow, looks visually incredible. Looking forward to hearing more about the battle system. With these recent announcements Vita is looking to have a great year all round.

Well there was that rumor from Verendus about Sony working on a big rpg project to rival Final Fantasy. Something about them putting their all into it and if it fails then there is little chance of them attempting something this grand again.

This is nothing like SSD or FW outside of not having a set protagonist. There are dozens of RPGs available with set protagonists. This is a really unique title with a structure that is built around its story and gameplay elements. I can't understand why you would complain that it's not generic enough.
 
here's a question, with 3 J RPGS announced now, what does that say for E3/Gamescom, even more/bigger announcements? Type-0? Dragon Quest 8?
 
Unexpected. Now I need to find out if they are going to cut anything from NA version. Of course if I wait I'll miss out on the first edition bonus.

I seriously doubt that mainline Dragon Quest will be leaving Nintendo systems anytime soon, MMOs aside.

Dragon Quest 8 was a ps2 game he is talking about a remake probably based off the ios version if they did it. Also I doubt 3ds is going to get another mainline DQ game I can see those going mobile all the way with how well they have been doing on there.

I know it's nothing like those games otherwise, I'm just referring specifically to the create your own character feature that I wasn't particularly fond of to begin with, but now feel like I'm being swamped by with all these new announcements. And yes, there are plenty of JRPGs out there with proper lead characters, but not many on the Vita, and even less that are good.

I'm not complaining that the game is generic. Never said it was.

I was wondering the same thing. If sony is letting these out early, they still must got a fair amount of ordnance still stockpiled for the E3.

You couldn't find a better example?
LoD has a horseshit cast IMO.

Sorry I get what you're saying but I nearly coughed up a liver when I read that.
 
I am interested :D finally vita is becoming what I want it to be. Still have l long way to catch up with psp's library but 3DS only just did that recently too, vita still have a chance!

I paid good money for this Dynex!
SOLD.

Really glad to finally get confirmation this is coming to the West. These are the kinds of games I want to see on Vita.

Not speaking in terms of quality of cast so much, but rather referring to a Sony first-party RPG that had a main character whose appearance and traits were set in stone. That's all.

Whole cast wasn't shit - Rose was hella cool!
