XONE is also pretty much 100% relegated to western games as far as I'm aware. And with that in mind I have no interest in that thing, japanese games are what I bought my PS4 for.

@Feena
I'll be looking into those, thanks for the recommendation.

I've owned the PS3 version since it was released but still haven't touched it. I wasn't the biggest fan of Atelier Ayesha either.

I wish this company tried making their games bit more RPG like instead of just making then about doing menial tasks. they clearly have the talent to do that as they proved with Mana Khemia, which was an excellent mixture of classic JRPG style with the item crafting stuff they have here.

I played the the GC version about 5 or so years back, I didn't really care for it tbqh, I'll take any other classic style RE before it.

I already imported my copy 4.1. It's absolutely amazing and one of the very few shooters that even I enjoy.

Not really screenshots, but I've really been enjoying Earth Defense Force 4.1 and I've uploaded few of my most exciting runs through certain missions into Youtube mostly for myself to see as a memento of sorts.

Really hope this will be better than DW Empires 8. That one was pretty disappointing for various reason, but mainly because they complete messed up the offline multiplayer.

I wouldn't hold my breath, most likely it's going to be something silly like in Dissidia where you had the option to have a more "traditional" RPG style too, and all it basically was, was the AI controlling the character and you giving orders to them. It was quite bad.

I really don't feel like thinking about "next gen" right now, I just bought a PS4 a few months ago.

Apparently this is the game I'm getting from indiebox this month, I love roguelikes in general, but the frenzyness of it all doesn't really do it for me.

Wild Arms 3 is great, definetly considering that.

Love the last one.

I really wish they just kept this in the 2D fighter style like the one on the PS3.

3D fighters rarely turn out good, especially in terms of gameplay depth.

I still can't make a head or tails of this one. Other than that the two main characters' faces are kinda creepy.

Still an amazing game, my 3rd favorite game of all time. only beaten by Chrono Trigger and Suikoden 2.

Bleh, I really don't like Street Fighter so I'd prefer not having to see it's characters sully the greatness that is Tekken.

Oh well, I guess it might make someone happy.

I dunno about that personally, but PS4 controller is design wise one of my favorite controllers of all time, they finally figured that the old PS controller was too small and they made it from a much higher quality plastic as well. I absolutely love it.

The PS4 can have multiple accounts, nothing is stopping you from making an US one and downloading it from the US store. And you can also just import the game in general if it does have a phycsical release.

I don't see the problem.

Well there goes that, with that statement all my interest is completely gone.

I never played the Vita version cause I just found the Vita a cumbersome to use in general, even with slow paced RPGs. But now I'm kinda looking forward to trying this with the PS4.

I would appreciate that, but I would be surprised if it even has similar depth to main series Kingdom Hearts.

I wish they had just kept it turnbased, but I suppose that's what happens when Nomura's team has done nothing except action-rpgs since the PS2 days.

I'll wait for the complete edition.

I really hope this will be at least decent, and that they don't completely forget to add in actual party customization and whatnot.

Looks similar to what Record of Agarest 2 and Cross Edge did. Can't say that does much to interest me. I'd rather just have my RPGs turn based.

Need to get the HD collection sometime so I can catch up with this series.

I still have only played MGS1 and the terribad remake on the gamecube.

@ToddlerNaruto
It's really disappointing, I bought SO3 used, but apparently the game has some weird loading technology which gets all messed up the second either your PS2 or disk has even minor wear & tear, it took between 2-3 minutes to load a single battle, which obviously is rather unusable. It's a shame too cus the game did seem really good. I loved Star Ocean Second Story on the PS1.

@italodance
It's more of a create your own story sort of deal. Basically you pick any given character and you're always tasked in unificating China whether it's as a Lord's underling or a Lord yourself (you can pick at the beginning and if you want there are options to betray your lord etc.), you're doing some not-very deep recource management and at any given time you can invade one of your neighbours or they made invade you at which point the game changes to the classic Warriors style gameplay, the difficulty of the battle depends on how well you and your opponent are doing in the recource side of things.

Every now and then when there is a major event (Like you're promoted to a higher rank or you marry someone), the game may treat you to a cutscene, they're ingame graphic cutscenes in which any given character in partake in, they've given all the characters exclusive lines in the cutscenes, but not matter the actors they will always play out the same.

I played the PS3 version and I gotta say I liked 7 Empires a lot more.

They really messed up the 2 player in this one, player 2 is stuck with the default stratagems that come with the any given character which most likely are pretty mediocre.

Also even though I liked that you aren't forced to do every single defensive mission now since the game just let's you fortify your defenses or whatever in the menu, but I feel there should be a much larger penalty if you decide to do it that way, it takes a neglible amount of recources and takes away all the tension you had when you we're being invaded from every side that was present in 7 empires.

Also I don't now if this was a problem with the other versions also, but on the PS3 version there was quite often a problem that the game didn't load enemy mooks fast enough which made overtaking bases take far longer than it should since you didn't have enough enemies to defeat.

8 Empires just was a big cesspool of problems, and seriously do hope they improve on that. And for petes sake please remember that your games have 2 player modes, don't make the 2nd player gimped from the get go.

Thanks for the heads up, I will be doing that just in case I buy it at some point.

I'm really looking forward to Star Ocean 5, that together with Disgaea 5 we're the main reasons I finally caved and bought a PS4 a month ago. Though the price drop was a factor as well.

Gravity Rush, Nier Automata, Project Setsuna, Tekken 7, Guilty Geard XRD Revelator and Final Fantasy 15 are on my radar as well.

I bought mine about a month now. Still have only 2 games, but the future line up has some pretty exciting JRPGs and Fighting games in it. It certainly looks like the way to go in terms of homeconsoles this gen.

Love how they actually turned some non battle tracks into legimate battle tracks. I would really like to see some villains, cus those are who I really enjoyed playing as in Duodecim.

Yeah with the gameplay supposedly being more actiony and now this, it's kinda hard to keep any level of hype up. Atleast the original version won't be going anywhere.

Wow, that pun... You are worthy of Dragon Quest.

Never played the original, but it looks decent enough to maybe get for the sake of having something else other than just JRPGs on my PS4.

The story mode took a massive step back from continuum shift due to there not being a exclusive story for every character. And even what was there was completely ruined by Celica who quicly became one of the most aggravatingly obnoxious video game characters I've ever seen.

The gameplay is the same basic fare has been up until now, which is fine.

Looking forward to it, somewhat. Though the 2 main characters' expressions kinda creep me out.

Is this a button masher like Diablo 3?

@Illusionistt
I like Disgaea because it's an japanese RPG, and those are what sell systems for me.

PS4 is also getting Star Ocean 5 next year and then there's Final fantasy 15, That chrono trigger lookalike game and Kingdom Hearts 3 in the pipeline as well, not to mention plethora of fighting games, which are other genre I really enjoy. All those together are enough to make the PS4 worth getting in my books.

One of the reasons I'm going to get an PS4 this year.

8 Empires was pretty disappointing, at least on the PS3 at times the enemies loaded way too slow, which caused taking over bases take forever and on 2 player mode, player 2 couldn't learn any new stratagems and was stuck with whatever the character had in the beginning.

Those two things really took away a lot of enjoyement from me and is why I consider 7 Empires to be the far better game.

Holy smokes, I was already planning to get a PS4 for Xmas and with stuff like this in the pipeline I doubt I will end up regretting it.

The battles system looks like it's ATB and there seem to be dual techniques as well. Chrono Trigger anyone?

There's the stuff with honor and whatnot in Japan, so I somewhat doubt that.

Wait is this game's battles in real time? Please say no.

Yeah I figured that would be the case. I just lost pretty much all of my interest for this.

Too late, already have imported an US copy.

Gosh darn it you made me hungry...

I'm trying to struggle through Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness on gamecube, but it is really quite boring I dunno if I can keep going.

The models look excellent, more JRPGs is always good, so I'll be keeping my eyes on this.

Finally I get to play this! Thank you, thank you for releasing this!

C'mon now Nintendo, I thought you were above this sort of trash talk.
