[Tuesday Tease] Good morning, gamers. The powers that be are going to allow me some fun today (and by fun I mean torturing you all).

Brace yourselves. A terrible haiku (in form only) will be coming your way shortly. (I did say this would be painful, did I not?)

*ahem* [Tease Today - Treat Tomorrow] Wearing a dress you / may seek a horse for revenge / to duel distant foes.

I can confirm one of the responses. Congrats to @FinalMacstorm. He has correctly guessed that the clue does indeed refer to a video game. ;P

[Tease Today #2 - Treat Tomorrow] If you crawl nightly / and blind watching eyes, you may / uncover a prize.

[Tease #3-Treat Tomorrow] (not a haiku of dubious quality this time) Tom suggests that: "When in battle, always remember to dock and perry."

Tease /END. The mystery game will be announced tomorrow, but do keep guessing. Your ideas are not unlike a certain breakfast food to me.

From those haikus I get the impression it has something to do with ninjas or something, but maybe somebody else will be able to decipher these hints properly.
...
Oh who am I kidding, GAF will have the answer in five minutes.

 

[Chiggs]

Steam-related?

 

[quinntendopower]

Trails SC

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I would like for it to be Ragnarok Odyssey.

It's not going to be Ragnarok Odyssey.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

It's totally going to be Senran Kagura this time, guys.

 

[Gilgamesh]

I would like for it to be Ragnarok Odyssey.

It's not going to be Ragnarok Odyssey.

I would like for it to be Trails in the Sky on Steam.

It's not going to be Trails in the Sky on Steam.

 

[Hours Left]

Trails in the Sky SC. I NEED IT.

 

[Dead Prince]

King of Pirates.

 

[B.K.]

Way of the Samurai 4, maybe?

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I'm thinking Way of Samurai.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I want it to be Trails SC. It probably won't be.

 

[Eusis]

Anything would hint at Trails in the Sky to me unless it explicitly referenced science fiction or modern themes, and maybe even then!

 

[Persona7]

I wonder if Xseed is going to publish Deadly Premonition PS3.

 

[InfiniteNine]

OreImo portable!

 

[outunderthestars]

My vote is for King Of Pirates

 

[Jetku]

Any possibility for Pandoras tower?

 

[kuroshiki]

Oh shit.

It's Valkyria Chronicles 3.

Spoiler

not really since there is no parry option in VC3. Most likely Rag odyssey

 

[Hex]

Ragnarok pweeeeeese

Oh shit.

It's Valkyria Chronicles 3.

Spoiler

not really since there is no parry option in VC3. Most likely Rag odyssey

Or this!

 

[Vamphuntr]

The first two make it seems like a ninja game but the last one make it seems like a pirate game.

 

[PixyJunket]

Any possibility for Pandoras tower?

I hope so!

Xenoblade in April, Last Story in June and Pandora's Tower in August. (◡‿◡&#10047

 

[mjc]

Stop toying with us Xseed. Stop. I want Trails SC

 

[DiscoJer]

If it's "Dodge" and "Parry" instead of "Dock", maybe it's another Wizardry game?

At least I remember those being options in the PC games (don't have a PS3, so didn't play that one)

I was think of that also. Obviously, Trails SC would be my first choice, but I'd like the second PSN Wizardy game too.

 

[Aeana]

After the Unchained Blades thing, I'm thinking the odds of it being anything I care about are slim. We'll see.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

I'm hoping for Ragnorok Odyessy but I doubt its gonna be that.

 

[jj984jj]

I would like for it to be about more Falcom games.

It's not going to be about more Falcom games.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Obviously Pandora's Tower, god.

 

[androvsky]

Dock and Perry? Sounds like Admiral Perry related stuff, and the haikus sound like Way of the Samurai 4. The prizes uncovered at night, iirc, are women.

 

[Red Blaster]

Pretty obviously Way Of The Samurai 4 which anyone with a modicum of taste will buy and enjoy

 

[Dreweyes]

I wish XSEED would publish Mother 3 to the 3DSWare shop.
The team that made the English translation offered their work to them...

 

[Himself]

It's about damn time we Americans got Fatal Frame 4.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

"Dock" and "Perry" instead of duck and parry...

Mentioning Perry with dock makes me think of Commodore Perry who played big role in opening Japan up to the rest of the world. Are there any games about a concept like that? Opening up Japan? Arguably, the very act of localizing games is "opening up Japan," so maybe it's not a hint that has to do with the actual content of the game other than it being Japanese in origin.

Edit: Beaten by androvsky. Hope it's Senran Kagura related, but I don't believe that it's nautical themed in any way. Well, other than the giant buoys, of course.

 

[Hex]

Ho! Haha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust!

 

[chickdigger802]

Don't show that filth here or the gods will lock this thread as well!

 

[Busaiku]

Code of Princess!
Yeah!

 

[RurouniZel]

My money's on Pandora's Tower.

Iirc, Way of the Samuai 4 is set during the Perry turmoil. Not sure though.

 

[Seik]

Obviously Pandora's Tower, god.

Yes yes yes please!!!

It would make another essential RPG to beat for me and Operation Rainfall would be finally complete.

HYPE!

 

[Hero of Legend]

Do these teases really possibly related to Pandora's Tower?

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Iirc, Way of the Samuai 4 is set during the Perry turmoil. Not sure though.

Well, there you go.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I'm hoping for Ragnorok Odyessy but I doubt its gonna be that.

Well, a previous statement stated they are currently working on a project for a "franchise" they've worked with before. They localized Ragnarok DS, so Ragnarok Odyssey is a really plausible answer.

 

[kuroshiki]

Don't show that filth here or the gods will lock this thread as well!

The game is actually a pretty decent text adventure. Don't judge the game unless you play it.

 

[Vamphuntr]

A winner is you. Makes sense with the "dock" part and the rest of the hints clearly imply it's a ninja/samurai game.

is this the one where kirino gets hit by a car? because if so then i'll pay good money to see that

 

[cj_iwakura]

Uh...

 

[rollingstart]

If it's Way of the Samurai 4, I wouldn't have to preorder the European version. That'd be swell.

iirc, WotS4 has stealth. I doubt it's of the same quality of Tenchu 4 or Shinobido, but if there're hints relating to stealth, it'd fit with WotS4.

 

[RedBoot]

Second haiku sounds exactly like the "Night Crawling" in WotS4. Also, it's confirmed for Europe, so there's an English version underway already.

 

[Lafiel]

After the Unchained Blades thing, I'm thinking the odds of it being anything I care about are slim. We'll see.

Amen, everything I click on these threads. I'm always disappointed somewhat, although, they do deliver in a big way when they deliver in regards to these announcements.

 

[androvsky]

Wiki says it takes place in 1855, but with British(huh?) Navy docked in port, and plays a major role in the story. So yeah, Way of the Samurai 4.

 

[MidnightScott]

Can't be this can it? http://andriasang.com/con0hs/nayuta_no_kiseki_date/
