XSEED teasing new game(s)?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Falcon announced their Ys games will get the Windows 8 treatment/compatibility.

Maybe that? Doubt XSeed will bother with retail PC games though.
 
Ys 1 and 2 will be nice if only To see more falcom games on steam. Hopefully we'd see trails on PC too. Ys 4 would be another good guess
 
A dragon is a big part of Rune Factory 4 and XSEED is owned by Marvelous and handled Rune Factory Frontier. The character also has amnesia so its not too big of a stretch.
 
you guys, you guys, i figured it out:

"great" = grand
"night" = knight
"memory" = history
"steaming mad" = Steam release

but seriously, why would a publisher announce five games at once?

For a second there I got my hopes up for Ys celceta game

but this is most likely it..fuck :S Would love some more games from XSeed to vita but starting to think I'm being too optimistic.
 
OMG I GOT THIS, night butterflies has to be Experience + Kadokawa's The Stranger In Alda!

XSeed stated that they had a lot of games to announce in January.
 
I'm going to call 'nested hints' on this. :D

...to make I or II plus-sized babies...

I and II being the obvious, but look at the phrase as a whole.

For some reason, despite being a huge Falcom nerd/fangirl, I immediately thought Conception when I read that and didn't notice the 'I or II' immediately.

Would make sense with the "was subsequently never paid" part since they pretty much wasted their time on Grand Knight History after vanillaware bailed out.
 
I'm conflicted.

On one hand, I want to support XSEED's Steam endeavors and send a message that they should continue releasing games there. On the other hand, it's yet another version of Ys I & II.
 
The PSP version on the Vita is more than good enough for me.

I mean shit, I sure I'll buy it if the price is right, but I think English-speaking Ys fans have their I & II needs pretty well satisfied by now. I wouldn't want XSEED to interpret soft sales as a lack of interest.
 
Based on what has been posted in this topic:
YS I & II
Grand Knight History
Killer is Dead
Rune Factory 4
YS 4

all sound possible but I wouldn't be surprised if we are wrong somewhere.

I'd be shocked if they dropped five press releases tomorrow morning. I'm sure they'll drip feed their 2013 schedule all the way through E3.

Pandora's Tower was announced the day after we got its teaser.
 
guys its not really grand knights (did you not notice how terrible my stretches were, memory = history???).

vanillaware couldn't even afford the time to help out with localization programming, how in the world would they have the resources to help with a pc port? I know there was that Siliconera interview with the vague tease a while back but it just doesn't make sense.

Yeah, I thought my reply was sarcastic enough :(
 
My guess is:

Ys I & II Chronicles - Steam
Conception: Please Give Birth to My Child! - PSN
Ys: Foliage Ocean in Celceta - Vita
Killer is Dead - PS3 & 360
The Stranger In Alda - 360

I don't think it's GKH because they stopped, why would they just randomly start working on it again?
 
Clearly this is Ys V. XSEED to go full crazy, print new SNES carts, Nintendo not even taking it seriously said "yes you may".

Well, sounds like Ys I & II on Steam is pretty likely, anything else? Probably some Japanese game everyone's overlooking, hopefully a good one.

Should we hear of a GKH port then it's fair game. Otherwise, yeah, absolutely not happening.

This sounds perfect. Fingers crossed

They only handled Frontier during that partnership before the merger, there's no reason to believe Natsume won't be localizing RF4 instead.
 
Well there, touché.

It's somewhat disappointing that they're doing this before Napishtim (or Xanadu or Dinosuar, etc.).

Interesting that it's the Chronicles version, wasn't there issues with that on PC?
Yeah, I've heard Ys I and II are nothing like OiF and Origins.
 
It'll be the Ys/Kiseki crossover game to crush everyone's heart.

Just noticed "subsequently" is spelled incorrectly. It has an "r" where the second "e" is supposed to be. Simple mistake? Probably.

well, we know this intern will never be an editor now
 
My guess is:

Ys I & II Chronicles - Steam
Conception: Please Give Birth to My Child! - PSN
Ys: Foliage Ocean in Celceta - Vita\Steam
Killer is Dead - PS3 & 360
The Stranger In Alda - 360

Please let it happen, please.

Ys Celceta and Ys I and II for PC... Will buy but will never have the time to play with school. lol

Conception sounds like it would be too hard of a sell for them but meh.
 
it's Tower! Tower SP! for the GBA!!!

when u reach the top of the tower you see that message!!

they're rereleasing it on Steam!
 
I'd gladly repurchase if they fix whatever issues and keep with the widescreen trend they set with the last two releases.

EDIT: Think a GKH digital release would be somewhat profitable for them?
 
I'm not convinced it's 剣の街の異邦人 The Stranger in Alda. Is there any screens from the game at all anywhere? This game is not even out in Japan either it seems. It appears like it's a late 2013 release.

Rumor has it that Microsoft's minimum print run in the US is so high that niche 360 games can be a difficult proposition. (This is a common guess for why Under Defeat HD was PS360 in PAL regions, but PS3-only in the US.) If Alda really is the butterfly game, either that restriction has been dropped...or it's going to be Games on Demand only like Deathsmiles 2. It is definitely possible that they've eased up; it's very late in the 360's lifecycle and Cave has been whispering about how they want to do a simultaneous Saidaioujou release. But it doesn't seem likely. Plus there's next to no information on the game, which is why my post was facetious. I'll put it this way: Umineko seems more likely to me at this point, and that's a VN. :|

I'd be happy to buy it if I'm wrong, though.

Conception does seem more Aksys territory, but it's not that far a stretch. I hear it's actually pretty tame.
