Who's looking forward to @ghostlightgames announcing the next JRPG we're bringing to PC?
The announcement should be this afternoon (UK Time)

 

[GhostTrick]

I'm cautiously hyped.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Had to look up their list of published games and it looks like they published a lot of MegaTen stuff. I doubt it's gonne be an Atlus game but I'd love it. Really looking forward to this announcement.

edit: Then again, the PS2 Atlus games run perfectly on emulator. Devil Survivor: Overclocked'd be nice though.

 

[Shard]

At the very least they are out of Mugen Souls games.

 

[KainXVIII]

Eternal Sonata?

 

[Ascheroth]

I forgot what the hint was Ross gave, does anyone remember?

 

[Seronei]

Persona 5 hype.

Spoiler

lolno

 

[purseowner]

Eternal Sonata?

This seems a likely candidate.

 

[kromeo]

Eternal Sonata?

Hopefully

 

[GhostTrick]

This seems a likely candidate.

Unlikely. It was published by Bamco. Considering their PC shift, if that port had to happen, they'd want to do it themselves.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Oh boy.

 

[Kaname]

This seems a likely candidate.

Really? :O
I loved it on PS3 and totally would buy it again to see how pretty it can be at higher resolutions.

 

[GhostTrick]

If you guys want to speculate, you'd want to focus on the hint (it's based on the PS3 version, but it had other versions) and also on the usual Ghostlight partners (Compile Heart, Acquire, Idea Factory).

Ah yes, the Tales of Vesperia GAF wanted so badly.

Huh, I thought the hint was something else, but like this my guess actually works :O

JRPG, based on PS3 version, has other versions, announced on Nier Automata PC release day.
It's Nier, isn't it?

Spoiler

lolno

Cross Edge here we go!

Oh dear

I guess the best thing that could come out of this is Labyrinth of Lost Souls, though I'm not sure Elminage sold all that well.

 

[silva1991]

Ah yes, the Tales of Vesperia GAF wanted so badly.

Now this will be hype.

Spoiler

Spoiler

It will also mean I will be skipping Berseria entirely

 

[Mifec]

Ah yes, the Tales of Vesperia GAF wanted so badly.

That came out on 14.3.2015.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Hopefully

That game was lacklustre...

 

[stargateheaven]

Eternal Sonata?

oh god..please!!!

 

[leng jai]

Lost Odyssey thanks.

 

[Atolm]

Resonance of Fate, believe!!

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Probably one of the niche PS3 JRPGs.

 

[Arthea]

I couldn't guess what a game it is, and Odin sees I tried and we had enough information to have at least some idea, I came up with nothing.
real curious what a game this is now

 

[kromeo]

That game was lacklustre...

Nah, was pretty good apart from the faux shakespeare. Especially when that gen was hardly swimming in good jrpgs

Unfortunately the turd Cross Edge someone mentioned is more likely

 

[Pachimari]

I forgot what the hint was Ross gave, does anyone remember?

I think that it is based on the PS3 version of a game that hit multiple consoles?

 

[Jazzem]

Persona 5 hype.

Spoiler

lolno

Goddammit, this is what I'm secretly hoping for despite the absurd odds ...;_;

Whatever it is though I'm happy to see PC getting more Japanese support, it's one of the key factors in finally getting me onto the platform last year.

 

[Arthea]

I forgot what the hint was Ross gave, does anyone remember?

The game was released in the west, it was released on PS3 and one other platform.
I thought long and hard and still have no idea what could that be, then again I dismissed NI games, as NISA would be releasing those, maybe that was my mistake.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Eternal Sonata?

I wish, that's Namco though and they don't seem to be particularly interested in bringing older titles to PC.

I'd put my bet on something like Ragnarok Odyssey Ace.

 

[matrix-cat]

Vanquish lets you upgrade weapons; that's an RPG mechanic.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Encharted Arms

Dammit.

I finished ES back then in lieu of other good JRPGs on the 360. I feel like Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and ES benefitted GREATLY from releasing on a console with few JRPGs. 3 mid tier RPGs that would have not drawn any attention 4 years earlier and that got completely overshadowed by the two Persona games that released the a bit later. Going from LO to Persona 3 was like from 5/10 to 10/10.

Hell, I 1000/1000'd Blue Dragon (and 1180/1200'd LO) because there was just nothing else there. ES had some nasty achievements though. I did finish the post game dungeon, I remember that at least.

And I feel like ES was the worst of the bunch.

 

[Arthea]

Enchanted Arms?

yeah, it could be it, or Cross Edge, but I'm somehow doubtful it's any of those two games.
Call it a hunch

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

Vanquish lets you upgrade weapons; that's an RPG mechanic.

just.... don't.... you'll only end up badly hurt!

 

[Durante]

Resonance of Fate, believe!!

That's the one I'd want most.

It's also exceedingly unlikely. And it would make no sense to base that port on the PS3 version.

I think the "based on PS3 version" hint implies that the PS3 version was somehow improved or more featureful, otherwise you wouldn't do that.
So either Enchanted Arms or Eternal Sonata.

 

[Zafir]

I'd like to say I'm excited, but I'm sure last time I got excited for one of their announcements for PC, we got Mugen Souls. x.x

I do hope it's something better than that!

 

[LordKano]

Cautiously hyped. I don't see at first glance what shitty JRPG they could bring so I hope for one of their best.

Resonance of Fate would be awesome.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

The PS3 version of Enchanted Arms was worse than the 360 version.

 

[poncle]

I'd love to see Ghostlight port some Resonance of Fate or Eternal Sonata,
but something from Idea Factory is way more likely. Expecting a Cross Edge

 

[Zafir]

The PS3 version of Enchanted Arms was worse than the 360 version.

It had some improvements but in some ways it was worse.

 

[Durante]

I'd normally agree, but basing any port which has a 360 and a PS3 version on the latter if it is not superior in terms of content usually makes very little sense.

 

[texhnolyze]

I'd be content with Eternal Sonata.

 

[Arthea]

That's the one I'd want most.

I thought that the other platform is very likely Vita, but that's not why I dismiss idea of it being Eternal Sonata, but cuz Sonata's publisher is Namco

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Finally, Trails of Cold Steel.

 

[Arthea]

Finally, Trails of Cold Steel.

you had to do this, hadn't you

 

[Durante]

I thought that the other platform is very likely Vita, but that's not why I dismiss idea of it being Eternal Sonata, but cuz Sonata's publisher is Namco

What would be an example of a game that only has a PS3 and Vita version and might be it?
