Next up we have Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines which is one that you JRPG fans need to have on your radar. “What does ‘Oreshika’ mean?”, I hear you cry. Actually the full title in Japanese is ‘Ore no Shikabane wo Koete Yuke’ which means something along the lines of ‘Go Forth Over My Dead Body’.

In case you haven’t guessed it by now it’s an RPG in which you take charge of an ancient Japanese clan that have been cursed with a maximum lifespan of just 2 years. Your task is to lead the clan on their quest to lift the curse and enlist the help of gods inspired by Japanese mythology to make sure each new generation of the clan is more powerful than the last.

Amazing week for the vita.

[Zhao_Yun]

Vita means life.

Thanks based Sony!

 

[sense]

yes!!!! I can't wait for this jrpg and it looks totally up my alley. was in need of a good jrpg after persona games.

 

[Totobeni]

Holy shit. :O

we better get the PSP one as well then.

 

[Puru]

I am happy.

Good day for the vita.

 

[sechsterangriff]

My wallet is crying!

 

[Tagg9]

Some screenshots.

 

[ramyeon]

Been saying it'd come for ages.

So happy all these got confirmed at once. It's gonna be a good year.

 

[Suzzopher]

Vita activates God tier mode in 2014! What a line up for the rest of the year.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm

Someone at Sony HQ was listening to Vita Fans!

 

[erpg]

Well, my day isn't going to get any better.

 

[BadWolf]

Today is a good day for Vita.

 

[nampad]

My third "oh my god, oh my god, it is happening!!!"-moment of the day

 

[dugdug]

Never would have thought the Vita would have the lineup that interests me the most in 2014.

 

[bloodyroarxx]

Vita all over the place!~

 

[Clov]

Three localization announcements in one day, and one of them was OreShika? This is shaping up to be an amazing day!

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Holy I didn't think this would ever come over. Day one!

SSD and Freedom Wars aren't too much of a surprise but they're also more than welcome.

 

[Parakeetman]

Very cool to see this come out. Am waiting for a localized trailer so can show friends. Great series though and very surprised that its being released. Shows that Sony is pretty serious bout getting more titles out on the system this year.

 

[michaelius]

I'm going to be bancrupt this year.

 

[Ryuukan]

SCEA already improving with Jack Tretton gone

 

[Feichaw]

2014: Year Of Vita.

It's almost as if Sony is trying to do something!

 

[SolidSnakex]

Japanese boxart

 

[Tsunamo]

Really happy to see this come over to the West. I'll grab it day one for sure.

 

[Drayco21]

Freedom Wars looks like it could be cool, and Soul Sacrifice Delta just seems like more not-Monster Hunter I won't be into, but this seems like a really cool pitch- I'll buy this at some point for sure. Glad to see so much Vita localization news.

Spoiler

Vita Means Life is pretty much our Hail Hydra at this point, right?

 

[Shinriji]

More SCEA vita support since the launch. Tretton was trying to kill the Vita, but Vita means life.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

2014 has been truly the year of PS Vita.

Thank you Sony.

 

[SmokyDave]

Never would have thought the Vita would have the lineup that interests me the most in 2014.

Did you think that '#20V1T4' was a joke?

Shame on you.

 

[randomkid]

All right all right, this is the localization announcement I was waiting for! Finally something for the likes of me, mad excited.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Japanese boxart

Love it but I'm pretty sure they'll be giving us something more edgy for the west.

 

[Gbraga]

AWWWWWW SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT

 

[GloriousBagel]

Thanks dude!! Going to use this as my Phones Lock Screen!

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Holy shit, yes!

 

[Etzer]

Wow. Looking good, 2014 Vita.

 

[Parakeetman]

Love it but I'm pretty sure they'll be giving us something more edgy for the west.

You mean "soulless" right?

 

[Bassmastergeneral]

Nice! I have the first game floating around over here but I haven't tried it. Looks awesome. That japanese box art is killer.

 

[takoyaki]

Freedom Wars AND Ore no Shikabane2 announced on the same day, Vita really means life!

Godspeed to whoever has to localize OnS2, the Japanese in the first one was pretty hardcore (old Kanji, no Furigana, hundred of obscure monster names,...) I never thought they would release the game outside of Japan.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Awesome news. Didn't expect this.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Holy hell, the Vita is on fire today

Can't believe Oreshika is getting localized

 

[Suzzopher]

Think this was Shahid's JRPG effort?

 

[Acquiescence]

Aww yiss, this is the one I'm interested in. Good to finally have a confirmation that it's being localised. Now we just need the immaculate cover art to remain largely the same when it hits Western shelves.

Spoiler

will never happen

 

[EGOMON]

The #champion is back!

 

[Tizoc]

Think this was Shahid's JRPG effort?

Doubt it since he's been teasing the JRPG thingy long before the japanese announcement of this game in Japan IIRC.

 

[Nightengale]

Think this was Shahid's JRPG effort?

Nope, this is first-party title.

 

[BadWolf]

Think this was Shahid's JRPG effort?

These are all Sony games though.

 

[prwxv3]

Think this was Shahid's JRPG effort?

Yoshia said that he wanted to bring the game over some time ago.

 

[Delusibeta]

Think this was Shahid's JRPG effort?

Eh, possibly, but considering it's Japan Studio, I would have put money on it being planned for localisation from day dot.

 

[Parakeetman]

Think this was Shahid's JRPG effort?

And who is Sahid again? *dead serious
