XSEED Teases 2015 Releases With New Years Image

Last silhouette seem to have hair. Could be Bakumatsu Rock (Ultra Soul), there are lots of hair in that game. Wasn't that game (or the first one) rumored to be localized?
 
I think we all appreciate Tom's openness but I wouldn't want this to turn into another psn-sony situation like the other week :eek:

I just want him to outright say they are passing on Lost Dimension if they are, like xSEED outright said they were passing on exxiv. For as long as they don't say they are passing on it, I'll assume it's a possibility because I want it to be a possibility!

Near the bottom right, it looks like maybe a torn sleeve or shoulder spike, and they may have a ponytail, unless that's some kind of scissor sword.
 
Did anybody check SEGA's games? Phantay Star NOVA, Shining Resonance. Long shot, I know... :(

I'm out of ideas that aren't long shots, so checked, and neither seem to match, although I'm just skimming over images, so I might end up missing something.

edit: Nope on Bakumatsu Rock

And I checked the Gagharv games, since I recall Tom saying that he liked them but the existing translation was poor, but nothing on those.

Where's Tom when you need him?

Hmmm? Oh, about the silhouettes?

Clearly, they're taken from these four pictures:

...I mean, it's pretty obvious.

Toooom we need some help.

I love this, you guys are awesome. Can't wait to play Brandish. I'm officially an XSeed fanboy.
 
are they really gonna release 12 titles in 2015? I thought they were small publisher?

That bottom window is probably four silhouettes plus four screenshots of the same games, which would make for a total of eight.

If these were just titles that have leaked out, we would actually know all four -- Xanadu Next, Corpse Party: Blood Drive, Forbidden Magna, and Sen no Kiseki -- though it doesn't seem like those fit exactly.

I've been playing the Game Center CX2 fan translation the past couple weeks, so I really want the third.

You don't, actually. :/

Betty Slocombe was a character in Are You Being Served. This was a David Croft sitcom. What else was a David Croft sitcom? You Rang M'Lord. Take some letters from that, and you can spell Lord ou Magnr. Lord of Magna.

HOW DEEP DOES THIS RABBIT HOLE GO TOM.

lol brilliant
 
Dammit, Tom!

But why these images? They are too specifically random. Time to read into things too much.

Edit:

Alrighty then. Apparently it has already begun.

Now, see, this, this is how you do detective GAF. Please continue your research.

I hope you know that you just blew my mind right now. I wonder if Tom saw this coming lol!
 
Can't wait for Brandish and Trials in the Sky 2 (My vita will be having another work out for the 3rd year in a row.... damn I need a 64gb memory card !!!)
 
That would set quite a precedent. S-E has never allowed anyone outside of themselves and Nintendo to handle their localizations.

Sorta off topic, but there was that one time a company did a spec/voice work translation for a game that would have been "a crazy, megaton-like get" but wasn't completed and the game didn't get released for business reasons...

Seriously, that was the rumor a few years ago. I'll be really looking at the credits for names in that game if/when it comes out...

I always assumed that was about Type-0 (which is what you did too I believe). I guess we'll find out soon.

I'd settle for DQ7 PS1 on PSN... Why SE is so frugal with Dragon quest, I will never know.

And why do they constantly switch to the most popular platform? Just make it muliplat already. It's not like it's a tech heavy series, at all. Makes no sense what so ever.

At least Xseed can get games out , and lots of them. SE are you listening?
 
Exploding fish, dachshund on stilts and smiling mouth. Those are the names of the other pictures.

Exploding fish is the name of a society at Aberystwyth University. Koudelka is set in Aberystwyth. Shadow Hearts 4 confirmed?

I'm reminded of the Fishermen's guild from Trails. Could the exploding fish have anything to do with that?

1st picture - any character with purple hair
2nd picture - this character is known to cut or blow up fish
3rd picture - this character might be half dog
4th picture - this character has an impeccable set of pearly whites

Fate Extra CCC confirmed.



I still believe it could happen.

I would love an Are You Being Served? adventure game. That is probably my favorite British comedy, even better than Blackadder or Fawlty Towers.
