That would make sense. Plus, the past year has proven time and again that Steam benefits niche games from publishers willing to show good will and price flexibility. A lot more than the console/handheld markets anyway.
They should throw in PC ports of Hero 30 1 and 2 for good measure.

pretty awesome news, I think it's really long overdue for Falcom games to be on steam.

Wow. I'll be glad to delve into the Trails series if they actually show up on Steam. I am confident XSEED and Falcom would see tremendous success there.
A nice thought, but the reason we all have hope for this is because Falcom PC games already exist in large quantities. XSEED's only work would be to translate and throw them up on Steam - no porting.
The two things don't really have to be related. Tom has hinted on the forums that they'd have a new game to announce soon. It's also been said XSEED has more Acquire games than just Suminoni in the pipeline.
Half-Minute Hero was supposedly one of their worst selling games ever. No way in hell are they going to fund PC ports of it when they aren't going to touch the sequel.

True, the FB thing might not be related. But XSEED showing up in the registry is tantalizing.

I hope that--whatever this is--does spectacularly and that other publishers like Atlus USA and Aksys take note.
XSEED, I WILL SUPPORT YOU WITH THIS ENDEAVOR.

Yeah, I figure if it's SURPRISE it's going to be Acquire related.
If we ARE seeing Falcom I hope it's Trails in the Sky first. The rest are nice, but that will help get the sequel out here in some form whereas I doubt Ys Celceta needs any help beyond the Vita not dying.
Well, ok, a currently Japanese-only title would be great, even if it's something like Xanadu Next's fantranslation being bought and polished up like for Ys I & II and Oath.

Honestly, Felghana looks better on PSP than it does on a big screen. Both versions are stellar, though. You can't go wrong.
It's kinda funny that this news comes as I'm playing through Ys Origin on PC (thus the awesome Adol avatar)
This is always a dangerous subject with Japanese companies, especially niche ones. If it's Falcom, I hope they're okay with XSeed playing the steam sale game. It would benefit them greatly.
If you want to play JRPGs I have a good feeling you shouldn't even bother with consoles next generation.
I can understand wanting the Trails games on Steam since it's the only viable platform for them in the west, but Ys? All the PSP games (minus the Trails crossover) have been localized, and are all fine.
Can't tell if serious or sarcastic. A new game announcement out of the blue kind of would be a surprise no matter who made it.
I meant SURPRISE as in it's not a game everyone's predicting (read: Falcom). Ys or LoH would still be a surprise, but not as much as Wizardry PS3 coming to PC, nevermind something we're not paying attention to in here.
Good People Die was confirmed for North America?! I don't see anything about it anywhere I look.
I am guessing you are implying that handhelds will be the way to go (not PC) and that very well might be true as most of the best jrpgs this gen have been on the handhelds. I play every genre though not just JRPGs, I just would love to see more JRPG support on the PC in general as there isn't that much. My comment about wanting to hold of on consoles next gen was mostly related to the final fantasy series, as I am still a fan, and still would get a console just to play FF15, but if companies keep putting more JRPGs on PC there is a good chance FF15 could be a PC release as well which means I wouldn't need a console just for that.
In general though this is great news, as it's another developer that I like that I can support on another platform, which could lead to them bringing over games they would have otherwise not brought over.

It's on the first page: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=464013
Nintendo Power.
... Oh wow I just I dunno how I missed that completely and totally. Went into the other thread (about the site launch etc) talking about it and found nothing. Someone mentioned Nintendo Power, but didn't seem to give hard evidence either way about it.
Anyway thanks for the quick answers. It's a good night all of a sudden in my book despite midterms are killing me at the moment.

If this is Trails I WILL EXPLOSION. Too much Japanese gaming goodness in too bad of a generation to take in all at once.
Don't forget Etrian Odyssey IV!

Shut up and take my money.gif
Acquire makes more games than just Wizardy you know, lol. Way of the Samurai 4 is one of them. It's getting an EU release by Rising Star, but they haven't said anything about a North American one.
repost from the Steam thread
Ys Origin hasn't been localized. It's not on the PSP at all, in fact.

Dude, I just sat down to this. Taking it in one random thread at a time!

Games go live whenever the publisher wants them to.
Yes there are Ys games not on PSP. My comment was in regards to the ones on it. Dude mentioned a title he'd like to see on Steam that is on PSP, and was translated.

Not THAT excited since my PC probably can't run any of the newer games.
Now if Falcom wants to release all of the older games...well I'm pretty sure I'll buy most if not all of them.

They're a niche US publisher for Japanese titles.
They publish Japanese games, RPGs in particular.
They are a localization firm based out of California. They localize Japanese video games for the North American market. They've published games on PS2, PSP, PS3, Wii, and DS.
so kinda like carpefulger?
Hell no, this is already readily available if you make a little effort.
More or less, except they don't localize doujin (hobbist) games that are as quite rough around the edges as Carpefulgar's. They also release packaged goods, and aim for more well known games (though that comes with the territory of not localizing doujin titles).

They're a localization company who does damn good localizations and has a partnership with Falcom who do Ys (Action RPG) and Legend of Heroes (full on JRPG)

Interesting.
Too bad that even if this IS Trails related, there will still be games we'll never see that are PSP only.
Still, I supposed getting at least the Sky trilogy in some fashion would be good enough.
