This week’s Famitsu contains a new announcement for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. Ragnarok Odyssey Ace, according to the magazine, will be hitting both platforms this summer. The title launches in Japan on July 11 for 4,935 yen.

Technically, Ragnarok Odyssey Ace isn’t a new game. It’s more of a follow-up to the PS Vita title Ragnarok Odyssey. New story elements will be included, and it will contain all previous downloadable quests released on the Vita.

Announced via Famitsu

Expansion pack.

It won't be DLC for those of us with the original though will it?

 

[Coxy]

ps3 version? sweet, get on it xseed, will buy 3 copies

 

[famousmortimer]

It won't be downloadable DLC for those of us with the original though will it?

Downloadable Downloadable Content?

 

[Toki767]

Downloadable Downloadable Content?

You know what I meant.

 

[dakkumauji]

Hopefully they'll add some gameplay change like making the Hunters viable for solo play.

 

[androvsky]

Wait, PS3 version too? That would be cool, my wife and I could play together if they implement cross-play.

 

[salromano]

Full deats on these prelim leaks:

• It is based on the original game, but is completely reworked.
• It has a new episode set after the original game's ending.
• It includes all the DLC quests from the original game.

I would like this to come out in English but I doubt XSEED will bring another version of the game over. Hopefully the Asian version will have English text again. And hopefully some new jobs? Or a less grindy way to get the skill cards you want. It's a fun game to plow through multiplayer but a bit tedious singleplayer. That's what I would say to those who haven't played the original.

 

[Shahed]

Cross play/save?

Full deats on these prelim leaks:

• It is based on the original game, but is completely reworked.
• It has a new episode set after the original game's ending.
• It includes all the DLC quests from the original game.

So it probably won't be DLC to the original game then? I can't justify buying this game again even it gets localized.

 

[Dead Prince]

will buy again even if i didn't barely play the original game.

 

[JWong]

What? There's a new one already?

The game is already awesome. Give me more!

 

[LuchaShaq]

Original vita version was aggressively bland and boring. Stay away PS3 owners.

this 100%

 

[Persona7]

The original game is available on PS3?

 

[Sora_N]

Great if we get it here in Nashville.

 

[AzureSkies]

Original vita version was aggressively bland and boring. Stay away PS3 owners.

It was actually really enjoyable in multiplayer with friends.

Sadly, it's incredibly disappointing single-player.

Sounds like an update ala God Eater>God Eater Burst

The official website is up: http://ace.gungho.jp/index.html

Judging from the mini-screenshots, RO Ace definitely looks different from the original. I wonder if the original RO save files can be imported into this game...

I notice it just lists Vita there... I saw the scans and it was definitely PS3/Vita. Either someone dun goofed, or Gungho's doing a staggered launch.

Didnt know Princess Peach was a playable character. Interesting.

Huh, thats weird.

 

[Alchemy]

Wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. The Hunter clone games are always more enjoyable with friends though.

 

[Maedhros]

It looks like there are actual skills now?

 

[SnakeSlashRO]

I hope this is localized, hell even if its just downloadable.

I never want to see segas PSP2:infinity treatment again.

 

[Emitan]

was a fun game until it turned into "kill 100 of this reskinned enemy to beat this quest" and then "kill 80 of them but now they're blue"

Ami Ami has screenshots, but their website is a pain and won't let me rehost stuff without saving each image: http://www.amiami.jp/top/detail/detail?gcode=TVG-PSV-00460

 

[dallow_bg]

Screenshots look nice.
They're definitely different. I put in a ton of hours with a friend online.

Actually having skills looks nice. I'd buy this update if it adds some more depth.

 

[nikos]

Held off on getting RO. Was thinking about finally picking it up, but I'll probably wait for this update.

 

[Orca]

Is Odyssey out in North America? I tried the demo a while ago but I don't think I've seen it in stores.

 

[Takao]

Dengeki put out an article: http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/622/622589/

Seems it's coming to PS3 at a later date. Google tells me there's something about an overseas release, but I dunno if I trust the big G's Japanese.

Yes, XSEED published it in North America.

GungHo America, don't fail me now. Day 1 purchase if save files from the original can be imported.

Yes, XSEED published it in North America.

ugh, hope XSEED can localise both and release them at the same time

 

[Takao]

Sony's confirmed to be publishing this in non-Japan regions of Asia.

And the Asian version will have English text!

 

[rockx4]

I hope this is available as a DLC. If not I'll probably hold off on any digital versions on possible "upgraded" re-releases since I won't even be able to sell it off to offset a repurchase.

Yes, the articles states that they plan to release ROA overseas just like the vanilla version.

 

[Speedwagon]

Had fun with the original Vita version, but I will not be buying this.

 

[dallow_bg]

Surprised that it seems it will make it over perhaps?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

XSEED you know what to do now right?

 

[ZeroAKA]

It seems that Ragnarok Odyssey Ace will be released in the west and have some sort of save import system after all: http://gematsu.com/2013/04/ragnarok-odyssey-ace-coming-west

[ZeroAKA]

It's difficult to get excited for this after spending a good chunk of time in the Soul Sacrifice demo.

 

[Parakeetman]

Btw game finally got a releae date. August 28th in Japan.

I think I might give it a shot and will have my fingers crossed they fixed all the stuff that pissed me off with the original, which had caused me to wind up selling it.

 

[master_emman]

any feedback?

 

[distantmantra]

The PS3 version is listed as being released on February 18th still at Amazon, but I've heard nothing about the game in ages. Is that legit?

 

[NoirVisage]

can I play this completely offline? I may invest, is there a good wikia/wiki for this?
