[Kade]

YES




I knew they were making a new Xanadu game!! I knewww itttttt.

The best Falcom series.

 

[Aeana]

I'm so happy that Falcom is putting something out that isn't Kiseki or Ys. It's been a long time.

 

[Stark]

Just watched a video. Okay I'm on board.

Now with a modern Tokyo setting, too. Yes, please.

 

[Manbig]

If nothing else, I hope we at least get some more awesome music like this.

[Quixzlizx]

I hope we get it over here.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Will be interested to see where this goes.

 

[Reveirg]

Oh wow, can't wait to see more.

Another PS4/VITA title?

 

[mdubs]

Concept art looks really cool, but haven't played this series and the Xanadu Next gameplay footage isn't impressing me. Cautiously hyped at this point

 

[threelights]

Yooooo, what's up with this, so many japanese games lately, feels so good.

Also, I'm on the 'never played this series' team, but it looks pretty fun.

Please Vita/PS4, I love you Falcom.

 

[LuuKyK]

Well, that was unexpected. Sounds interesting.

Tokyo Xanadu is set in “Morimiya City,” which is located on the outskirts of Tokyo. It revolves around the fates of two high schoolers, Kou and Asuka, as they traverse through Xanadu, an otherworldly labyrinth, in a grand scale story.

From gematsu.

Glorious non-Kiseki Falcom must return.

 

[Qblivion]

Look neat. Too bad it will never be localized.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Now imagine that ,not in your typical sword/sorcery fantasy world, but in a modern day Tokyo that is apparently "invaded" by fantasy elements.

Fuck, my hype is through the roof.

Yooooooooo.

Super on my radar.

 

[Nightengale]

Xanadu Next is 10 years old next year.

Realistically, they'll be building Xanadu atop their Ys platform.

 

[Reveirg]

Look neat. Too bad it will never be localized.

I wouldn't be so sure. XSeed has a great track record with non-Kiseki Falcom titles.
And some Kiseki titles ARE actually coming out against all odds.
I wouldn't count this one out.

By the way, I'm getting massive Shin Megami Tensei vibes. I'm certainly OK with that =D

 

[threelights]

Well, that was unexpected. Sounds interesting.

From gematsu.

I need this. I need this too much even.

Look neat. Too bad it will never be localized.

I actually think it has a chance, I mean, it's still an Action-RPG, they bring Ys games, they could bring this too.

 

[Aeana]

I am so excited.
So excited.

 

[Voliko]

It's nice to finally see a Falcom game that isn't Ys or Kiseki again but I was pretty indifferent towards Xanadu Next. The setting in this new one could be cool though.

 

[duckroll]

Whoa. This is a nice surprise.

 

[BedBison]

I have no idea what I'm looking at in that picture but I think I like it.

 

[Producer]

man oh man i cant fucking wait. i need to see this right now. goddamn falcom they went and did it

 

[PixyJunket]

No joke, the only video game that I will ever possibly care about more than this in 2015 is something about space jellyfish.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I've never played a Xanadu game, but XSEED's releases have made me a definite Falcom fan in the last few years, so this is relevant to my interests. I hope they bring it over here.

 

[Hours Left]

wut

 

[Baust]

Both Falcom and Xanadu are trending right now on Twitter (Japan):

 

[wmlk]

I git Eva vibes more than anything from that artwork.

 

[AniHawk]

...well now.

i would be a little surprised if this was a mobile game. aren't they historically a pc developer who dabbled in consoles? i though the recent output from them was the part that was out of the norm - where they were supporting consoles and handhelds with new entries first.

falcom's a company i sort of want to like, but i just don't know where to start. i really liked ys: memories of celceta, and i totally dig them as the kind of company from a bygone era.

 

[ramoisdead]

Make it PC bay bay and XSEED, you localized this bad boy the very second you can.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

Which platform?

PS4?

I know wydward is a big Xanadu Next fan. I figure he's already preparing a pitch.

 

[Arzehn]

Whoa, new Xanadu game. Why's there no music on the teaser site.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

...well now.

They used to be fully PC, but lately they've moved to PSP and now Vita as their main platform. I would expect this to be Vita/PS4 like the new Ys game, with a possible PC version in China and maybe the west (since XSEED have had success with their Falcom PC releases).

If you're looking to check out more Falcom games, you can't go wrong with Trails in the Sky (great game, and we're finally going to get the sequel soon) or the various Ys games on Steam.

 

[KnightHart]

Well didn't see that one coming

PS4/Vita pls

 

[Nightengale]

I know wydward is a big Xanadu Next fan. I figure he's already preparing a pitch.

Hatsuu and wydward are planning dat XSEED coup d'etat to turn XSEED into Falcom Localisation Inc.

jk

Falcom ceased PC development when their relationship with their publisher went sour and they ended up having much better sales on PSP than they'd had on PC in a long time, so they're no longer a PC developer.

 

[Finalow]

never played Xanadu or Dragon Slayer but since it's Falcom I'm in.

which should I play, if I decide to do so? Xanadu Next?

 

[Amir0x]

FUCK YES! What a week for lovers of niche games

 

[Totobeni]

well, This is a surprise.

I thought Falcom forgot Xanadu.

Which platform?

PS4?

maybe N-Gage 2

 

[Foffy]

Oh yes henny. I wonder what platforms the game is coming out on.

I loved what I played of Xanadu Next.

 

[Shizuka]

Platform?

 

[Einhander]

Platform?

I would guess PS4 or Vita.

 

[Trojita]

I want this.

 

[dddooozzz9]

Hope it is PS3/PS4.

 

[Shizuka]

I'm so happy that Falcom is putting something out that isn't Kiseki or Ys. It's been a long time.

Nayuta was Kiseki only in name, but before that, I guess... Brandish in 2009?

 

[Jashobeam]

don't know what this is but love me some Falcom after getting into Ys.

 

[Instro]

Not overly familiar with the series, but cool announcement regardless.

 

[RyoonZ]

Not Zwei but I'll take it

 

[Jachaos]

Huh, never played one but this looks cool. Adding it to the 2015 pile.

 

[DangerMouse]

Well, that was unexpected. Sounds interesting.

From gematsu.

Cool!

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Cool! I hope it come to PS4.
