Way too close to Daybreak for me to be able to afford that on launch sadly.

Also really infuriating how they are not patching the already existing versions with the new translation considering how bad it still is.

I believe the new Xanadu version is from a different publisher, so no chance of upgrade path. Part of the same reason SMTV isn't getting a patch and is in fact getting delisted.

Nope, Akysys has always been the English-language publisher for Tokyo Xanadu.

I mentioned this before but the new English translation is being made current and former members of the Geofront. So this time, it is in good hands and the most likely reason that it is being somewhat delayed.

After all, you can't rush art.

Vanillaware is now looking for staff members for their upcoming work (specifically programmers, 2D animators, and background designers).

Damn already getting back to work. Hopefully UO gave them enough money for this new project.

Edit: Forgot a word

Is it likely that the current Month 1 Edition stuff will ever be cheaper if I wait like a year?

Question for anyone knowledgeable about Breath of Fire 4: is it true that Lord Yuma getting away with all his crimes was an accident resulting from the rushed schedule? I’ve seen this claimed on multiple sites but none are ever cited with a primary source. If there is one, anybody know it?

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana Game Heads West in Early 2025. It is worth noting that the announcement was accidentally leaked when XSEED posted their Anime Expo stuff too early.

So, after thinking about it, I wonder if we might see a Chrono Trigger remake.

We got a full 3D upgrade of Trials of Mana, and a HD Remake of Live A Live.

Those two were the biggest games that the West never got, and now we got them.

So I feel like, if we were to get another game like that, Chrono Trigger is the only remaining option, despite getting that DS re-release a few years back.

that would make sense.

Though the DS releease means that Cross is also likely (if to a lesser extent)

They are weird with the Chrono series. A supposed third Chrono game (Chrono Break) radically dreamed up but nothing came of it.

Cross is such a different esthetic from Trigger and doesn't mesh all that great, like trying to continue FFV into FFXIII's plot.

As far as Square games on SNES go, there's still Bahamut Lagoon and Treasures of the Rudra. The latter could be interesting if they redid the gameplay some since it's pretty unbalanced, and the former would be fun to see more people react to its batshit plot.

They are weird with the Chrono series. A supposed third Chrono game (Chrono Break) radically dreamed up but nothing came of it.
Several key staff to Trigger and Cross went on to work on early Final Fantasy XI before leaving Square and scattering to the wind, and other members of the original Trigger staff have either retired to a producer role, scattered to various FF projects, or left the company, so it makes sense they wouldn't really have anyone willing and able to put a team together for a third game. It doesn't sound like there was ever a solid plan written up for a third game either.

[up]Nope, you're right. It was like something in the 00s where they trademarked the name and that was it.

I started playing Cassette Beasts and I love its sincere weirdness—it almost reminds me of Robopon.

Been playing some Monster Hunter Stories recently. I played 1 until the third area, and then I jumped into 2, because I didn‘t like how 1 doesn‘t let you view Monstie stats during battle and that it also doesn‘t have a proper map screen. both of which 2 fixed.

And I also just stumbled upon a case of Inconsistent Dub with the german translations of both games, where Avinia‘s name was kept for 1, but for 2 she‘s suddenly called Ajulia. The english voice acting still calls her Avinia, though, so for some reason someone on Capcom‘s german localization team decided to change her name for the second game
