    So there's going to be a Bravely Default 2 on the switch.

    Bravely Second: Am I a joke to you?

    It's a sin they haven't used that Octopath Traveller engine for this.
    I think BD2 looks a bit ugly. The character design reminds me of a Fire Emblem Awakening where its more like they are dolls than people.

    Iirc Bravely Default is still using the engine from FF III DS.

    They had their chance with Octopath and made all the same mistakes again. It was actually the team from Acquire that were behind the art style which S-E has tried to trademark as HD-2D.

    Yup, that'd what we saw, I guess newbies to 5 went back to 4 maybe?
    Worked out grand, I have physical P4 on PS2 so I don't mind not getting physical if I already have a copy

    Been waiting for it to go on sale since I picked up the 2DS. Checked out hardcopy on Amazon and it's crazy money. Must have a look at what other JRPGs are on the sale now.

    It's an eroge. The naughty bits have been removed as Steam has a hissy fit about them. They don't seem to have a problem with 3d depictions anymore though.

    Game is still supposed to be alright.

    It's a portmanteau of erotic and game. They are usually visual novels, but some are other genres like srpg and even racing.

    The game is still playable without the adult content, like how many people remember that Fate/Stay Night was originally released as an eroge considering the juggernaut that the Fate series is now with its numerous spin offs.

    Some RPG news from the last few days.

    New Trails game announced taking place after cold steel 4 .... Which still isn't in English.

    Also the two crossbell games are getting released on PS4. Maybe.... Possibly... We will get these in English finally.

    Also a game from the original fire emblem creator is coming to PC in English.

    The game is about 10 years old, plenty of better visual novels out there for a fraction of the price.

    It's a mecha visual novel kinda like Muv Luv but not as good, it has some gameplay but it isnt very good, honestly it's one where I'd rather just enjoy the story. If you havent played Muv Luv I'd recommend that over it but if you have and liked it then this is good too

    Grandia is really nice on handheld mode good fun easy to see the screen and all the background stuff too I'm off my feet for a long period of time in two weeks abd this game is one I'm looking forward to putting hours of distracting time into. Didn't play part 2 much on PS2 so doubly looking forward to that.

    On a side note seeing the gamearts logo makes me long for Lunar Silver Star would love a hd eshop release of that.

    Not really. PC version of 1 looks ugly because they baked the texture filtering into the textures so you get texture seams everywhere. Pity as everything else is good and well..... It's grandia.

    Yeah but fine means no game breaking bugs lol Even playing a Grandia 1 disc on a PS3 had game breaking bugs :|

    Kind of annoying that they remade Lunar 1 a half dozen times and they never remade Grandia despite actually having high quality modern remake assets of a lot of locations of Grandia 1 (From back when Grandia Online was being made as Grandia Zero)

    Grandia 1 & 2 are literally my two favourite games ever and it's a shame they arent given more of a push

    I know. But then again they keep making Lunar worse. The PS1 remake I hear was good and has the boat song but working designs made it the anti fun by upping the difficulty and the psp remake is booooring. At least they never did that to Grandia!

    Also is there a forum on here for anime?

    New Gundam worth a watch then? I watched Iron Blooded Orphans on a whim and really enjoyed it, especially the fantastic season 2 that finished it all off. Felt like a good old 80's anime. Went back to watch some of the older ones and liked them.

    Also the Atelier Dusk trilogy released yesterday. Definitely worth the sale price it's going for now as you are getting 3 fantastic RPGs and the highlights of the Atelier series so far.

    The new Build Divers, Re Rise, is half way through atm, it is not great. IBO that Sephiroth is watching is great. Season 2 is a bit weaker that the first though

    I just seen the deal posted on HDUK and managed to nab the last one in Limerick and that was first thing yesterday morning. I'd say there was very little stock around the country. Picked up a few other games too and most of the ones I reserved were last copies in stock. They had Dragon Quest 7 for 2.99 but no stock to be had anywhere.

    Admittedly it takes a long time before the battle systems in these games click and Xenoblade 2 was way worse than the first game or X, but when it does it's one of the best battle systems in a RPG. I kind of just enjoyed the exploring the most in the game.

    It's not as good as the first game. The story is ****e but it's just a fantastic game to go explore and arse about in. Wouldn't say it's worth a wiiu unless you get one cheap. I had a blast with it anyway and put in about 150 hours. I did here that it might not come to switch as well.

    I had a good time with xenoblade 2 but Xenoblade 1 is a vastly superior game in every aspect.

    Xenoblade 2 combat is a little more repetitive once you understand the mechanics and how to use elements properly to create longer chain combos.

    Anyone who has not experienced the first game I strongly recommend the upcoming definitive remaster that is coming to the switch. Supposedly they are adding new worlds that was cut from the original game.

    Its def one of the best Jrpgs of the ps3/360/wii era
