They really need to show more than fractions of a second of gameplay for this game.
It looks super fun too!
Hopefully TGS we'll get a decent length trailer (for this and Ys VIII =X)
But yeah, they also got proper 2D animation now, that's cool.

Pretty crazy to think its coming out in a little over 2 months.

I kinda hate the trend of stupid short teasers in general these days. D:

If it is just a "commercial" then it's fine the length. It shouldn't be longer...
But that is of course thinking that they will be putting out at least one full trailer in some time (specially with the game so close to release).

They're saving the trailer for Sony conference I think along with Ys8
The old Falcom released a lengthy trailer as the first ever video for any given new game. We have yet to see anything significant from this game.
I'm not at all familiar with the Xanadu series but I've loved every single Falcom game I've played so far and this looks really interesting. So yeah, I really hope XSEED localizes this one.
How is the Xanadu series, anyway? Is it similar to Ys or Kiseki in any way or is it something completely different?

Hopefully.
How many companies even keep it to their "old ways" today?
The problem is not really the lack of a substantial video at the announcement of the game as much as it is the lack of a single full-length trailer when we're so close to the release date.
There must be a reason though, it just seems odd that Falcom is not showing the game beyond screenshots. And it's not like they don't make trailers for all their other games, so...
Oh, so it might as well be a completely new IP then? That kinda makes the lack of a proper trailer seem even weirder.
Yes. I need moar Vita games.

Maybe it's the fact I don't really know anything about this game at all, but I've felt pretty blah about it ever since it was announced. And nothing I've seen has really changed that. The game being anime as hell with girls tripping and bath scenes and stuff isn't helping.
If that the case, why are they calling it Xanadu?

how can you not like her :3
This combined with awesome Falcom gameplay seems like a winning combination to me

Looks amazing. Those dungeons are looking better too. I thought they would be just randomized corridors to be very honest. Nice to see some platforming and obstacles (however small they may be =X).
TGS better have a kickass trailer for this (and Ys VIII).
Also, this game has a lot of playable characters. And from Gematsu's translations, they all seem very different. Interesting... I'm interested in playing as the fist girl myself (Sora?).

Dungeons look exactly like in the Sen no Kiseki series.
Not to sidetrack this thread, but is it weird of me to start longing for an updated or new "Faxanadu" as soon as I see "Falcom" or "Xanadu" mentioned?
Just imagine how cool a new Faxanadu could be if they follow FROM's Souls formula and add some platforming/jumping perhaps.
That said, I'm glad this new Xanadu game exists for those who are fans of the original series instead of the spin-off like me.

Is this a good thing? I never played the Sen no Kiseki series (I'm currently on TitS, but I stopped to play DQ).
It means to expect large spacious dungeons with not much to interact with(excluding monsters). Usually a switch here and there, ladders or opening doors.

Not quite Ys then...
Ah well, that's fine I guess. If the combat is good enough (and it seems like it is).
At least they didn't go with Tokyo no Kiseki.

After Nayuta I'm kind of surprised they didn't go that route.
That's more or less what Xanadu Next is. Or at least, that's always how I saw Xanadu Next. It really looks, feels, and even plays like a successor to Faxanadu more than original Xanadu.
Incidentally, you're not far off on the meaning of Faxanadu -- it's short for "Famicom Xanadu." And yes, it's the same series, albeit another company's take on it (Hudson licensed the Xanadu name from Falcom).

Good news: Opening theme not sung by Kotera. Thank you SPiKA idols.
Bad news: They are *still* outsourcing music arrangement for their opening themes.
Game's looking damn cool though! Waiting impatiently for a full (and hyping!) trailer.
Also lol they kind of did it again.
Looks like theyre using the jump/dash thing from Ys VIII in this game.
Idk, Im not all that interested. Looks like Ys with a crappier skin.
Hope Im wrong though, really hope it starts looking more promising once they release more than 30 seconds of footage.
Really dissapointed they ditched the Xanadu Next medival fantasy theme.

Both Marvelous and Falcom is going Vita crazy in japan right now (Tokyo Xanadu, Trails in the Sky Evolution, Net High, IA/VT, Luminous Arc Infinity, Valkyrie Drive Bhikkuni). Wonder if XSEED would do the same next year. Only they can make 2016 a Year of Vita too (just like it was 2014 and 2015).
That ain't how you spell Shoko Minami!
I personally find Kotera's voice very annoying - in particular when she sings opening themes. And yet... some of her ending themes are actually quite fantastic - Sora no Kiseki the 3rd's Ending theme is one of my favorite Falcom vocal songs in recent years.
Bleh, you like Felghana Super Arrange Version. Who are YOU to judge?! :V
I actually *really* like Jill's Project's goofy (yet somehow amazing) rock arrangements from that album.
She's not always perfect, but I still think "Cry for me, cry for you" from Sora 3rd is one of Falcom's best opening themes EVER, and I also really like Kotera's ending themes from Ys I & II Chronicles and her opening theme from Zwei II. And I absolutely *adore* her work on Falcom's main theme arrangement from Gensosangokushi II/Fantasia Sango II -- that may in fact be one of my overall favorite vocal themes Falcom has *ever* produced, despite it not even being an original composition of theirs.
There are a lot of other tracks of hers I really like too, but those are the big ones. In general, I think she has a very pleasant voice. Whenever I dislike one of her songs, it's usually less a result of her voice and more simply because I find the arrangement kind of bland.

Soul device, social link system, tartarus, dungeons, school?
Are we sure this isn't a persona game? Albeit, an extremely sexualized one apparently.
That said, the dungeons do look interesting. I wonder if they'll port it to PS4 and atlus could counter attack by porting P5 to Vita. TX VS PS5.
Sorry, was kind of dreaming there. X__X
