All my Trails games are on PC and PS, so I'll be waiting for this to come to PS5. They can have their timed exclusives, we Trails fans are used to waiting for their game to come to the correct console.
We have Daybreak 2 and 3 still to keep our time anyway.
@cragis0001 The same reason XBOX is paying millions to market Metaphor, because they have money to burn and out of touch with the market.
What are the next 4 JRPGs coming to XBOX after Metaphor?
Sony has Romancing Saga 2 Remake (PS, Switch and Steam, Skipping XBOX), Trails of Daybreak 2 (PS, Switch, and Steam, skipping XBOX), YSX:Nordics (PS, Switch, and Steam, skipping XBOX), Farmagia (PS, Switch, and Steam, skipping XBOX), Fairy Tail 2 (PS, Switch, Steam, and skipping XBOX) and we're only in November.
@cragis0001 We're talking about JRPGs here. Don't move the goalpost to suit your narrative.
Until XBOX figured out how to sell their systems in Asia, none of the Asian developers will bother developing their games for XBOX because it's a loss.
@UltimateOtaku91 Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey were the first and last 3 JRPGs ever graced the XBOX ecosystem.
Those 3 games failed miserably in sales as Japan and Asia still didn't buy XBOX. So much so, that Mistwalker Studio actually had to pivot to making Mobile Games only these days. Imagine making a JRPG made by the Father of Final Fantasy dies because of exclusivity on their ***** consoles.
No one is ever gonna buy an XBOX for JRPG. They've tried this strategy before with Mistwalker studio and still somehow failed miserably.
JRPG thrones are being held just fine by Sony and Nintendo, but if the suits at Microsoft want to waste their money on marketing a game no one wants to play at their system, more power to them I guess.
Although if anything, hopefully this game sales number is so low that SEGA and ATLUS finally learned that marketing their games for XBOX is ***** stupid.
Why does it matter if it's from China? the game is Chinese and in Chinese settings. China promoted the game heavily before its launch to the point it's being mentioned in a national TV. If anything, this just shows how much purchasing power China has and 10 million is not a number to scoff at within a week. Especially since this is coming from a single player console game that usually has a tougher time in China due to their preference on online mobile games.
This is a major accomplishment and at least they're releasing their games globally instead of just locking it in China like other Chinese developers.
I don't usually play Souls-like game as I suck at it, but even I'm having fun with Black Myth.
One of the most overrated and overhyped developer in the recent century with nothing backing him up after Metal Gear Solid. Just let him make a movie already and leave the games alone.
Probably the closest we'll ever get to a Skies of Arcadia remake on modern consoles since the cowards at SEGA refused to do anything with the IP. Can't wait!~
This is a much better trailer than the first one. Still not vibing with the art direction yet, but that Morrigan showcase get me a lil bit hyped up for it.
Vessel of Hatred, Fantasy Life 2, Metaphor, Romancing Saga 2, YSX: Nordic, Farmagia, AC:Shadows and now Dragon Age: Veilguard. Oct-Nov is gonna be stacked.
I absolutely love this franchise and while the 9th entry was a disappointment, I still look forward to their future release. Hopefully Origins would be the experimental release that eventually merged both regular Dynasty Warriors game with their Empire counterpart for more RPG experience.
We don't have enough proper Norse-themed RPG; and while this looks really rough (understandably so for an Alpha trailer), I'm actually looking forward to learn more about it.
Absolutely. Good for those people that have the time, tenacity, and patience to enjoy souls-game or any other brutal difficulty games but they are just not for me. I knew that and I'm not going to pretend that I'd enjoy it. Hell, I tend to even set my games to Very Easy or Story if there are difficulty options available.
I wish I do have those qualities I mentioned above though, as it seems that I really missed on a great game in Elden Ring. Oh well, it is what it is.
This is the equivalent of going to a sushi restaurant for dinner and complaining to the manager because some of the menu items are raw. JFC these snowflakes...
It was a fantastic game, especially coming from FFXV disaster and compared to the the garbage that was FF7-Rebirth.
Great characters, great boss fights (Titan desert boss fights that was designed by three Square Enix legendary encounter designers were definitely my favourite), awesome cinematics, excellent darker mature storyline, and actually fun combat for an RPG.
CBUIII really did a great job on this game and if there's one thing their experience kinda goes against them, is the sheer amount of irrelevant bloated side quests that plagued the game especially closer to the end. That definitely came from their MMO experience.
And this is just being blown out of proportion from this website as it's always the vocal minority that gets the spotlight. Majority of FFXIV players don't use, visit, or even post in the official forum. I honestly didn't even know this was a thing till Push Square pushed it.
"Are you looking forward to returning to the world of Thedas?"
Nothing they've shown so far actually made me "look forward" to play it. Especially after Nintendo direct showcased a bunch of other RPGs and JRPGs crowding autumn/winter release that actually interest me.
They really need to stop telling about the game and start showing more. After CDPR and Cyberpunk, they can tell whatever they want but till I see it in action before launch, I won't believe them.
Oh tell these minority healers to ***** off. I main AST and I'm not striking with these snowflakes and their temper tantrum. I bet these are ex-WoW players too as we never had this issue before as FFXIV community has no time for this bs.
I also play every jobs in FFXIV with all max gears, I'm sure there are a lot of us that can and will switch jobs to fill in the gap while they throw a temper tantrum.
I'll wait till they show more of the RPG system that made the franchise an RPG. So far the gameplay reveal has displayed none of: Skill trees, character progressions, and gears/loot system.
Till then, in the same universe where we have a game like Baldur's Gate 3 as an RPG, in what way is Veilguard an acceptable showing?
If there's a national team that needs to be banned from their PS5, it's the England team as they've must been sleep deprived with that Southgate's snoozefest of a first match performance.
Penacony is absolutely one of the best written story in any RPG I've ever played.
Pair that with one of the best music arrangements in Star Rail history with one of the best boss battle to nicely tie this chapter in one satisfying journey,
Better than the trailer but I'm still not blown away by it. Gotta have to wait and see if they brought back all the RPG features that made Dragon Age an RPG game because I just saw the team had a boss battle after waves of enemies and absolutely 0 loot. So no loot system? crafting? etc?
Honestly, I have the same uneasy feeling I had when they showcased ME: Andromeda and we know how that ended up.

Trails of Graces F? Is this the continuation after Trails of Daybreak 3: Farewell Zemuria?
Re: Atlus Really Doesn't Want You to Know Metaphor: ReFantazio Is Coming to PS5
@Flaming_Kaiser yeah I do too, that was actually a pretty fun JRPG with an interesting combat mechanic.
I wished there's a sequel or at least a remaster/remake of it.
Re: Lust Over 16 Minutes of Unedited Metaphor: ReFantazio Gameplay
Did they finally caved and dropped the trailer on PS channel too or not yet?
Definitely didn't want that 3:1 preorder ratio huh?
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Drops Loads of PS5 Gameplay, Action Combat Details
Mmmmm...
The game reveals started of really weak but the more they showcased, the more excited I am for this new Dragon Age.

Re: Black Myth: Wukong Has Sold an Astonishing 10 Million Copies in Three Days on PS5, PC
All in all, hopefully this will make more and more CRPG and KRPG coming to the west.
As someone who really loves their narrative settings, I can't wait to play more of their games.
We need more Wuxia/Xianxia games after Jade Empire.
Re: Photorealistic The Sims Rival inZOI Will Eventually Settle on PS5
It looks ***** fantastic from the demo but damn, the Uncanny Valley effect is real with the engine.
Hopefully they'll do something to alleviate that a bit before the final release but right now it's unpleasant to play.

I don't usually bother with Souls-like game because I suck at it, but even I picked this one up just due to Wu Kong mythology.
