XSEED announces E3 line-up [Trails of Cold Steel, PopoloCrois, Estival Versus]

Good news for Cold Steel, especially the release date. But a) will SC make it out before then, and b) no PC port in the works? I guess the newer Kiseki games are on more current platforms so it's not an immediate concern like it was for FC/SC, at least, but if Cold Steel 2 takes forever to come out we could be in the same boat a few years from now re: PS3/Vita.

EDIT: Never mind, read the Cold Steel announcement thread, sounds like Falcom doesn't have a PC version so we'd have to wait for one to exist before we could hope for a Steam release. Hope Cold Steel 2 doesn't get delayed into oblivion!

Chinese/korean translation of Sen no Kiseki must've helps speeding the localization process somehow.

It's more likely that Falcom has become aware of the foreign markets and has been putting effort into making the localizations smoother overall.
 
Based XSEED saving Japanese gaming in the west.

If only they could do retail release in EU for all their games though...

Fantastic lineup. XSEED is bringing the joy!

For some reason I thought Corpse Party: Blood Drive was a 3D re-telling of the first game. Is it actually a sequel instead?
 
Speaking of PC, was Corpse Party PC ever confirmed for a GOG release? I say this because the 2015 line-up macro shows Akiba's Trip as Steam-only while the Falcom games are "PC", which so far means Steam and GOG. Corpse Party has this same designation.
 
Jesus. XSEED please, I don't have a bomb shelter, my wallet is exposed!

Fantastic lineup. Sony or someone should give you guys some stage time to show all of this =X

You're probably thinking of the 3DS game that came out recently, which is a port of the first game with a couple of new scenarios.

Return to PopoloCrois: A STORY OF SEASONS Fairytale

I'm ready.

THANK YOU.

This is the announcement to end all announcements. Seriously. The game is amazing. It's way better than it has any right to be, both as a traditional JRPG and as a Bokujo game, and is absolutely something that should be in the 3DS library of any gamer who enjoys feel-good games or believes the '90s were the golden era of JRPGs.

And it's seriously like a dream come true being able to work on a PopoloCrois game. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be able to officially put my name on something PopoloCrois. It's... surreal. But incredible.

Nothing's impossible, everything's probable! You're giving us PoPoLoCrois, Tom, now give me First Queen! Failing that, Relics: The Recur of Origin, if you can snag a deal with D4 Enterprises.

Holy shit... in for everything except Popololcrois or whatever out of all of those.

Guess I'd better just hope none of them are digital only if I have to import from the US.
 
Nice Lineup. I plan on getting the following:

Corpse Party: Blood Drive
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
Return to PopoloCrois: A STORY OF SEASONS Fairytale
 
Estival Versus awww yisssss

Platinumed the Japanese PS4 version. Will buy this again for story and side stories. I believe side stories are funny...

Nice, xseed.

Is there any chance that Europe will get the Story of Seasons games in the future? Or do I have to buy a US 3DS?

I wonder how long it will be until they decide Trails of Cold Steel 2 has too much text and they try to backpedal and claim that they never announced a localization for it.

It's beginning to feel a lot like E3...

YOU SHOULD RE-EVALUATE YOUR LIFE DECISIONS.

;)

...Seriously, though, Popolo is incredible. I highly recommend looking into it a bit more.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Hell yeah, will be getting:

- Corpse Party: Blood Drive
- Trails of Cold Steel (Vita)
- Senran Kagura: Estival Versus (PS4)
