There are a lot of interesting projects this year. Pillars of Eternity is without question the one I am most excited to play, but I wouldn't be shocked if, like last year, we get a deeper field of quality titles than most people anticipated.
My Bloodborne hype is really suffering from the fact that we just got Dark Souls 2 last year and it's launching the same month as a game that has absolute priority over it.

Anyone had a go with Blackguards 2 yet?

Oh, another potential correction for the Tales of Zestiria table entry is that the battles don't really take place on a different screen from the field screen. It's one of Zestiria's new features.
Yeah, 2014 has absolutely nothing on 2015 for RPGs.

I am cautiously optimistic. We had a few barren years for RPGs recently, but if you look at games in general, GAF always thinks the coming year is going to be the best ever.

The problem with other years tend to be delays, but this year seems more concrete with it's releases, partly due to the fact that some of the games being released were delayed to 2015 from 2014.

Persona 5 is by far my most hyped game in a long time let alone RPG. As for the ones in the OP, some decent ones and even though it's my favourite genre I can't say I'm THAT excited about a lot of em.
I'd say Persona 5 and the new Ys game for PS4 are my most hyped, not sure if it the latter is 2015. Also xenoblade.

Has Devil Survivor been announced for localization?

Yep, for early 2015
Persona 5's probably my most anticipated RPG ever. Certainly makes 2015 better than most years when it comes to RPGs by itself, for me. The rest I'm looking forward to this year:
- Etrian Mystery Dungeon
- Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker
- Bloodborne
Never played Xenoblade Chronicles, but X has me interested.

Well... It could be because we know literally nothing about it.
And nothing of value was lost.
Torment, Pillars of Eternity, and The Witcher 3 all have a solid chance at outselling Persona 5. PC games have been on a hot streak with the rise of Steam.
Outside of Japan, Persona 5 is a low profile game itself. 500k in the west would probably be a franchise best.

Damn, lack of pics and write-ups definitely makes this thread a weak sequel . I hope that if you get some more free time you'll add in more Durante! I really loved seeing them all last year and referred to that list several times to check what was coming up.
Anyways, 2015 is looking like a better year than 2014 for me:
Persona 5
The Witcher 3
Bloodborne
Pillars of Eternity
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
All of these games above have the potential to be GOAT status for me, and that's not even counting the others that I'm still hyped for like The Banner Saga 2 (no stupid boss fights that ruin the game this time pls).
That would just mess up my whole gaming schedule. 200 hours just out the fucking window.

Especially if Atlus persist in keeping their awful random dungeon generator. It completely killed P3/P4 for me.
I agree, just not as fuck-all-amazing as 2014.

Think all that is right.
Added, thanks.
Yeah, I normally don't take much joy in pointing and laughing at games, but this one deserves it.
The expansions redeemed it somewhat, but the NWN1 OC is still one of the worst PoS I ever played.heathens!
I simply wasn't aware. Corrected.

I didn't know being a Warcraft 3 clone/knock-off promises JRPG revival.
Also, this is the better year for RPG as far as I am concerned.

>Witcher 3

A weak sequel? If we get Persona 5 this year, along with Bloodborne, Xenoblade, Type-0 and the FF XV demo it's gonna be the best year in maybe a decade lol.
Eeeww looks like a generic Diablo clone with the art style of a generic moba.

I was hyped for Project Pheonix but after seeing that demo, it looks like they are making a Warcraft type clone ( sans the base building ) when it initially sounded like they were going for a Shining Force type SRPG. Complete disappointment.
Thanks, corrected.

I need more RTwP. Plenty of great TB games, but RTwP is something special. Adds a little chaos and excitement to things.

To fill in the blanks for Final Fantasy Type 0 HD:
No co-op
Linear story, but with some freedom in between missions
Action combat
Free positioning
No dialogue trees or checks for the main story
World map
Separate screen from combat on the world map, but not in missions.

So glad I didn't back this.
But I'd still give a LOT for a Matsuno-led crowdfunded project.
Well, to be fair there actually -is- involvement from "top developers" from both East and West. Management and direction on the other hand...
I dunno, a lot of people say 'you can't throw money at a franchise and make a game' and 'talent matters' (see: Infinity Ward/COD around MW2 fiasco) but being able to tie together everything is just about as important.
But yeah despite being massively hyped for Project Phoenix, I'm kinda underwhelmed from last month's video.
p.s. falkOCD coming through:
- "Shallie", not "Shalliee"
- "Zestiria", not "Zesteria"
Carry on.

Someone else mentioned it, but not sure if it counts since it's a rerelease. There is a significant amount of additional content added though. Details for Devil Survivor Record Breaker:
Party: Yes
Perspective: Isometric
Co-op: No
Structure: Linear
Time: TB
Positioning: Squares
Trees: Kind of, there's a good amount of branching in the story, but it's just as dependant on who you spend time with as what you actually say.
Checks: No
World: Sort of, it's entirely menu driven outside of battles
Battles: No
Release: 2015, might be May, but not confirmed
Platform: 3DS

Fixed Shallie, that was a Typo. But I think I always had Zestiria right?
Assuming all of those meet expectations. If P5 and Xenoblade are disappointing follow ups, the same "best year ever!" people will be calling 2015 shit this December.
