After the dark ages of the last generation, I'm glad we have a good year for RPGs, JRPGs in special, again.

Now we only need that Suikoden VI announcement.

oh man I wouldn't mind finding 108 stars of Destiny again

 

[wapplew]

Add Scalebound to the list if it can come out this year.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Add Scalebound to the list if it can come out this year.

I really don't think that'll be a JRPG

 

[Data West]

While Yakuza 5 isn't a jrpg, it does have a lot of similarities to many of them. So I basically kinda count it.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Lets make a list just to keep track:

Bloodborne
Persona 5
FF Type 0 HD/FFXV demo
Disgaea 5
Ys 8
DDO
TiTS SC
FFX HD
Tales of Zestiria
Fire Emblem if
XCX

On the horizon:
FFXV
KH3
FExSMT
Bravely Default 2
L5 PS4 RPG

Awesome list! Fyi, FExSMT is not a game, but SMTxFE is and it's one of my most anticipated games right now!

Also, there's Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker, Etrian Mystery Dungeon, Etrian Odyssey Untold II: The Knight of Fafnir, Etrian Odyssey V.

My three most anticipated games right now are in my avatar and they all happen to be JRPGs This year is going to blow my mind!!

 

[saturnine]

EU? unlikely, maybe NISA will localize, maybe

I swear to everything that is holy I will double backflip off the handle if we get the game more than a week after the US.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Don forget SMT x FE, thats totally coming out this generation guys

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Etrian Mystery Dungeon
Devil Survivor 2 Record Break
Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 (probably 2015)
Persona 5 (probably 2015)
Xenoblade X Chronicles
Ys 8(2015 in Japan at least)
TRAILS IN THE MOTHERFUCKING SKY SECOND CHAPTER
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2: Sisters Generation(PC version)
And whatever other game that comes out that is from Falcom and Atlus.

Cool year


Any news about Etrian Odyssey V is going to drive me insane.

 

[vall03]

Etrian Mystery Dungeon
Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 (probably 2015)
Persona 5 (probably 2015)
Xenoblade X Chronicles
Ys 8(2015 in Japan at least)
TRAILS IN THE MOTHERFUCKING SKY SECOND CHAPTER

Cool year

Etrian Odyssey V....

Edit: Just saw it haha

 

[Dunkley]

Person 5 Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc_9r4wifFc

I'm sorry for being amused by this typo but Person 5 just sounds really funny to me.

 

[Elaugaufein]

DeSu2 Record Breaker isn't really a JRPG strictly (its an SRPG) but its as much so as Disgaea 5 so I guess it counts as well ?

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Etrian Odyssey V....

Edit: Just saw it haha

I'm just talking about games that have a chance of a 2015 release in NA.

But yeah I can't fucking wait.

 

[The Technomancer]

Xenoblade X will be enough for me

...maybe

 

[wapplew]

Digimon story: cyber sleuth, if we count Jrpg that never come to the west.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Omg I forgot about FExSMT! Maybe because it's in the The Last Guardian status but I'll update this topic. Thanks Psycho_Mantis

i cant even




"last guardian status" implies that FExSMT was actually a game at some point

TLG will come out before FExSMT.

SMTxFE, guys! SMTxFE!!!!!

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Imagine how awesome 2016 will be with P5, XV and KH3! :3

Just kidding, KH3 is 2017.

Digimon story: cyber sleuth, if we count Jrpg that never come to the west.

You just had to remind me and open the old wounds, thanks.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

SMTxFE, guys! SMTxFE!!!!!

I would list it if I thought it was a 2015 game, maybe it is but we don't know much yet, I still believe it's coming and I'm excited about it.

 

[vall03]

I'm just talking about games that have a chance of a 2015 release in NA.

But yeah I can't fucking wait.

I don't know if Atlus USA can handle it, but they might prioritize Persona 5 localization first so yeah, 2016 release date for us

But out of all the possible JRPGs announced, its the one I'm really really waiting for.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

I have so little time to play these days.

I'm definitely getting Bloodborne. Hopefully I can squeeze Type-Zero in as well.

 

[Ravage]

Persona 5 alone will make any year it releases in exceptional. Add in games like Bloodborne, Zestiria and Atelier Shallie...2015 will be something special indeed

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I would list it if I thought it was a 2015 game, maybe it is but we don't know much yet, I still believe it's coming and I'm excited about it.

Oh it's happening and it's very likely a 2016 title. I just wish more people would get the title right.

 

[MissDeviling]

Gonna buy a PS4 when XV comes out, and I'll be so poor because I'll need to play catch-up with all these amazing games.

 

[Usobuko]

Yo-Kai Watch is coming to the west this year too. Could be big.

While I'm not not fond of L5's RPG, I surprisingly interested in this one for Pokemon's similarities. At least I hope so.

 

[Begaria]

Lets make a list just to keep track:

Bloodborne
Persona 5
FF Type 0 HD/FFXV demo
Disgaea 5
Ys 8
DDO
TiTS SC
FFX HD
Tales of Zestiria
Fire Emblem if
XCX

On the horizon:
FFXV
KH3
FExSMT
Bravely Default 2
L5 PS4 RPG

I want almost all of those that are aiming for 2015: Persona 5, Type-0HD, Ys 8 (pleeeeaaaase get localized), TiTS SC (almost done with FC ), Tales of Zestiria, and Xenoblade Chronicles X. Of course I'll be picking up FFXV, KH3, and Bravely Default 2 (despite hating Chapter 5-7 in BD1). I've had many a fanboy fantasy over what the Level-5 PS4 RPG could be. There were rumblings a year or two ago about a Ni no Kuni 2, I can always dream for a Dark Cloud 3 or Rogue Galaxy 2, but I'd be ok with a new IP.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

It's sad that everyone (including Sony) forgot about this game

 

[JuanLatino]

it will be a glorious year and i expect a big push for the Ps4 Sales in Japan

 

[John Kowalski]

Maybe we'll get Ark of Napishtim on PC too.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

And don't forget Legend of Legacy! (currently slaying Japan)

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I don't know if Atlus USA can handle it, but they might prioritize Persona 5 localization first so yeah, 2016 release date for us

But out of all the possible JRPGs announced, its the one I'm really really waiting for.

I'm trying to not get to crazy about it yet, but the seciond we get some scans or video footage I'm just going to explode.

 

[shadow2810]

What?

Did I miss the joke? Pretty sure FF7 Remaster will come out after The Last Guardian

 

[BlackJace]

Of the ones most likely coming this year...

Devil Survivor 2
XCX
Persona 5

Les' goooo.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

1 major turn based RPG all year...makes me sad

at least persona 5 looks amazing

 

[Canis lupus]

Oreshika, Trails of Cold Steel and Digimon Story, how could OP forget those

 

[Impeccable]

Did I miss the joke? Pretty sure FF7 Remaster will come out after The Last Guardian

It's coming out this Spring.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Really excited about P5, Xenoblade X and Trails SC. Lots of others I want to get too.

Oh and we revealed another song for Cosmic Star Heroine today. Soundtrack's coming along nicely to say the least: https://soundcloud.com/hyperduck/planet-araenu-preview

 

[Dark_castle]

Oreshika, Trails of Cold Steel and Digimon Story, how could OP forget those

Which Digimon game is this? Looks really good. Any chance of coming to the west?

 

[Rad-]

It's a good year if all of those games release this year in the west. I doubt it though.

 

[Korialstrasz]

Which Digimon game is this? Looks really good. Any chance of coming to the west?

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth (Vita), the one Namco said they will probably maybe think about localizing if the petition reached 50k. The last Digimon game the west got was in 2007 so don't count on it.

Edit: Trailer

 

[ys45]

Didn't we said the same thing last year too ?

But yes this is another good year for jrpgs (and people were saying jrpg were dead about 2 years ago)

The one I'm looking forward the most :

Xenoblade Chronicles X
Persona 5 !!!!!!!
Etrian Odyssey Mysterious Dungeon
Atelier Shallie
Tales of Zestiria
FF Type 0
Bloodborne

Now I just need to find some time to play all these 50 + hours games lol

 

[Flying Toaster]

Oreshika, Trails of Cold Steel and Digimon Story, how could OP forget those

I am not a fan of Digimon, but that looks awesome.

Bring it to the West!

 

[Canis lupus]

Which Digimon game is this? Looks really good. Any chance of coming to the west?

We asked, sign the petition plss https://www.change.org/p/bandai-nam...for-3ds-digimon-story-cyber-sleuth-for-psvita

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth (Vita), the one Namco said they will probably maybe think about localizing if the petition reached 50k. The last Digimon game the west got was in 2007 so don't count on it.

Last Digimon game was last year actually.

This game has a good chance of being localized considering Namco's recent localizations and this year being the 15th anniversary of the franchise.

I bet it will be Vita/PS4 if it does come to the west.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

I think at this point I'm only excited for Persona 5 and FF type-0. Ill probably buy xenoblade x but my expectations are low

Im buying bloodborne, but thats being very loose with the definition of jrpg

 

[Shizuka]

Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy (Vita). Same developers from Demon Gaze and published by NISA in the West.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Wait... wait... There's an Ys 8?!?!!

Why didn't anyone tell me this WONDROUS news?

 

[Leafhopper]

"L5 PS4 RPG"

If it's not Dark Cloud 3 I don't care.

I know I am being childish, sue me.

Wait... wait... There's an Ys 8?!?!!

Why didn't anyone tell me this WONDROUS news?

But we did 5 months ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnpVygfNQn8

 

[Litri]

Xenoblade X and Persona 5 for me dudes.

 

[Korialstrasz]

Last Digimon game was last year actually.

I should have said last localization, as all star battle is a western game. I can see an enhanced PS4/Vita version next year coming here if (and that's a big if) they decide to dub Digimon Adventure Tri.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Regarding Atelier Shallie, I'll just wait for the Plus version.

Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy (Vita). Same developers from Demon Gaze and published by NISA in the West.

Forgot about this game, it looks great.

 

[Steel]

Oreshika, Trails of Cold Steel and Digimon Story, how could OP forget those

Chance of Digimon coming west: 25%


I'm not really into to digimon and I want that shit on my vita.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Persona 5 will only start being promising when they confirm Social Links aren't back. If they are back, then I have zero interest in the game.

Looking forward for Xenoblade Chronicles X, though.

You do realize that this feature is what made it blow up in popularity? Most likely aren't going to remove it.

On topic, I think this will be an amazing year for my favorite jrpgs
