While it is presented entirely in Japanese, you can catch over an hour of gameplay in the video above. The questionable name aside, The DioField Chronicle looks to be shaping up nicely. You'll get a good glimpse at cutscenes, gameplay, and what happens in-between battles. Are you interested in this one? Plan your turn in the comments below.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

this game looks pretty solid, but i am a bit concerned that s-e is putting it out to die... why has there been so little marketing to hype this up a bit more? it was only just revealed a few months ago and the release date is around the corner — hardly anyone knows this game exists. the cutscenes look pretty jenky but hopefully it delivers in the gameplay department.

@Rmg0731 yeah it's crazy, I did a count up the other day, between switch and Playstation they have 9 titles incoming this year as long as Valkyrie Elysium and Crisis Core make it

Pretty sure that's just the Japanese release date, nothing mentioned so far about the western date

I’m not sure about this one, but I love Square’s approach with “just try the demo and see if you want it, ok?” Worked for me with Octopath, Voice of Cards, and Triangle. Didn’t work with Live A Live, but it does make me jump to play the games and get them on my mind. Square is doing a fantastic job lately.

@Rmg0731 I agree, square enix are constantly putting out great games and for me are the Kings of jrpgs.

If sony owned them then atleast id be playing Harvestella as it looked in the trailer instead of a watered down version that will struggle to run at 20fps 😩

@UltimateOtaku91 If Sony owns them their games will be locked to ps5 for a year which means that they will run at only 30-60fps

@Porco actually they are hyping it for japanese buyers who are obviously the main target of this kind of games if they aren't making more noise about it in the west is because they know the game won't sell millions (that's one of the many reasons it is on xbox too)

@somnambulance This demo approach is really working great. I bought Neo and Triangle after trying the demo. I agree, Square is doing a fantastic work lately.
