Never too early for a news/info summary thread! Tales of Vescrapia had one months ago! :lol

more jrpg talk on here is good, so I agree with this

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

Wow, I really almost doubted this game for a second, but man. I want this so bad right now it isn't even funny.

This game, Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean 4 and I hope Cry On will finally be revealed or more mistwalker titles.

Seems Tri-Ace was serious when they said they were trying to make this their best game yet.

 

[Egg Shen]

Definitely on my list for more tri-Ace goodness. Can't wait!

 

[burgerdog]

Awesome thread, thanks for all the info. I am so looking forward to this game, woo.

 

[Classic_Gs]

Nice OP, it helped fill in the blanks a little bit and I am definitely hyped for this one.

 

[Dina]

Thanks a lot for this thread, especially the gameplay information.

 

[Like the hat?]

+1 sales

 

[Ricker]

Nice thread..out of the 4 recently announced 360 JRPG's,this is my most anticipated,day 1.

 

[Monocle]

As expected, IU sounds a lot better than the dungeon demo looked. Almost certainly day one for me.

 

[AquaticSquirrel]

Ok so against my better judgement of hating AI controlled party members and having been burned badly already by Star Ocean 3 I'm willing to give this a try and see if it fits with me.

I move ahead with cautious optimism.

 

[ivysaur12]

Besides Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, I haven't been too keen on tri-Ace's PSX and PS2 RPGs. I want to like this, but I feel like I'm going to fall into the same trap again.

Good thread though, you're making me consider purchasing it.

 

[iconoclast]

Can't wait for this and Vesperia. Two high quality (hopefully) RPG's released back to back. Awesome.

Hopefully at E3 some more decent RPG's are announced. Not nearly enough this gen so far.

This is so true.

 

[JaMarco]

Im in, but I hope the story doesnt turn out to be weak like it sounds so far.

 

[TheOddOne]

Hopefully at TGS some more decent RPG's are announced. Not nearly enough this gen so far.

Fixed. TGS man, TGS MAN...

I updated the first post with links to the gameplay demonstration and the official JP site.

 

[Hunahan]

Thanks for the info.

Sounds really good.

 

[Quazar]

tri-Ace always has "interesting" bosses. Remember the fight with the giant squid in VP2? Or the wyvern fight at the top of the mountain. I expect stuff like that. Situation Battles are essentially the evolution of those sort of boss fights imo.

Famitsu 360 usually hits on the last Friday of every month I think. Why?

Cause I never see the threads anymore. But than again I guess nothing much in them to talk about. But atleast I know when to bug you now. lol

 

[Elbrain]

Well we are going to see the in TGS and hopefully we get good ones.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Looks really generic in both visual style and gameplay (and story), but could still be fun.

I really wish we saw some original RPG setting tho

 

[Witchfinder General]

Can't wait for this game. This is getting a worldwide release including PAL, right?

Generic? What other JRPG has the gameplay mechanics IU has?

360 RPGs always seem to have that problem. Darn it.

 

[JaMarco]

^^he said it looks generic, not plays generic
i dont really agree with him though

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

I can't wait for when all the unique, non-generic rpgs start releasing for the Playstation 3 since all the 360 seems to ever get are the generic ones.

/sarcasm.

Whatever this is supposed to mean, sorry, just no.

JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SIR

Aaanyway, I assume like in usual tri-Ace fashion, we won't be able to recruit all 18 at once?

[Cianalas]

Do we have any info on how many discs this is going to be yet? I worry the US will get another horrible case like we did with BD and LO.

10

Seriously though, probably 2 discs. Also this is SE publishing, doubt we'll get a crappy case.

KRAKEN FIGHT IN VP2

KRAKEN!!!!

Something was mentioned about being in action with up to 10 at one point?

 

[jj984jj]

Holy fuck I just saw this weeks scans with Gustav! Very nice!

 

[Joule]

I doubt it in this case as losing party members also means losing potentially unique connect actions and abilities which are more important here than all other tri-Ace games (considering the environmental/situational interaction).

 

[Schopenhauer]

Yes, nothing beats having a giant bear around to kick the shit out of anything and everything. Party diversity looks like it is going to be amazing.

It has me wondering what other surprising party members might join Capel. Cough cough... Hrist!

There are a few characters that although they haven't been officially revealed yet, you can see them in the trailer and guess what their class is. Komachi (a female ninja) and Toma (A male samurai)

 

[MCD]

good, i love having lots of characters.

A ninja! *faints*

 

[∀ Narayan]

So, uhh -- I watched the 10-minute presentation for this.

I wasn't too impressed.

I still may get it if it turns out to be decent, though.

 

[Kaiser Dämmerung]

Why are the most awesome games coming out when I won't be able to play them?! :_(

 

[duckroll]

2 DVDs confirmed from the official site. The preorder bonus for the JP release is a CD called "Square Enix x Xbox360 Sound Collections" with tracks from IU, SO4 and TLR.

They also confirm that there will be DLC, I wonder if it will be just items or something more meaty.

The DLC thing has been there since the site opened though...

 

[AgentOtaku]

thanks again for the thread

...oh and 2 discs, whewt!

 

[boco77]

The game will be set in a

Spoiler

holodeck and be actually a sequel thats pretending to be a prequel to VP1.

 

[boco77]

Infinite Undiscovery's official Japanese site says that the Square Enix 360-exclusive JRPG will come on two DVDs.

Cooool

 

[Llyranor]

They better fit dual language into those discs, then.
