Hope they get a decent writer this time.
Yeah I didnt like he MP death stuff though.
They cried about anime cliches (understandable) and MP death (cause they're crybabies)
SO4 was terrible but SO3 was good enough that I can't help but maintain some semblance of optimism here.

Maybe there is a chance for valkyrie profile 3?
This announcment proves that Tri-Ace and SE can work together

Well colour me surprised, not only did we get something good out of a Square-Enix teaser site but we've got Tri-Ace working on a console title again. Maybe one day we'll get Valkyrie Profile 3 afterall.
That's basically my one wish for this game.
I'm legitimately creeped out by that. The soulless expression on her face combined with that lifeless voice.
I just hope the focus is more on the next-gen version so that it won't be held back too much.
Also, is it me or between this and Dissidia, SE is slowly moving back to PS exclusives?
And better dubbing as well. The way they deliver dialogues in SO4 are cringe worthy a lot of times.

Must be great for publishers to be so easily rewarded by lowered expectations. I guess this is also how Ubisoft keeps making billions. "I don't care if it's crap, I'm just glad they're making more Assassin's Creed!"
Because come on dude, a console JRPG that is not named Final Fantasy, from Square Enix of all companies, and especially Tri Ace, a company that last we heard of them was changing direction to focus more on mobile?--not to mention how much mobile heavy Square is now..... against all odds, against all odds, we have a new console JRPG... for PS4!
It'll all seem so unbelievable that the fact it exists in the first place is a miracle in itself.
Yup, it just increases the chances of games happening since it reduces risk for Japanese devs.

None, really.
I'd say the best analogy is imagine characters from Mass Effect level civilisation crash landing onto a fantasy medievel planet.
It's tri-Ace so I don't even care about that, just let Takayuki Suguro direct it if he's not going to get any more VP or RoF to direct. Then maybe I'll care about SO again.

i can't believe Q.Q
This is exciting! I didn't expect it at all honestly. Though I hope it isn't like SO4 at all. I want a story that's good like SO1 and SO2. I personally didn't enjoy SO3's story much either.
I'm hoping for better voice acting as well (in regards to SO4 mostly).
That whole "plot twist" was weird.

Duckroll, come on...
Don't do this to me, pretty please
Even if we'll get SO5 (can the SE survey have something to do with it, btw?), that doesn't mean anything for VP, unfortunately.
In terms of lighting quality it's quite big leap.. and demo was from 2011..Doesn't look that different from Mass Effect 3 on PS3, which I am currently playing:
Small pic but you get the idea. I would not be worried about PS3 holding it back. It probably was never meant to look extremely next-gen.

I don't know about hate, but suffice to say they didn't love it.
I was about to say that it might be an indicator for a relative timely release, or an development that is already pretty far, but I doubt it somehow.
What a shame.
This announcement was on a Japanese gaming magazine, so its still possible for the US/EU version to have a Xbox One version.

I'll admit I've never really liked or cared about any of the SO games, but the fact it is a real game unlike BoF6 makes me extremely happy.

Are they releasing Dragon Quest Heroes on the PS3 on PSN for the US?
They are not ;_;
Did it? I mean I dont remember it being a universal hit but I dont remember it being torn apart either. I remember it pretty fondly.

I couldve worded that better. Its more like Im glad theyre getting another shot at the series and Im down for it even if its SO4 all over again as this may be the last one if what Ive heard about Tri Ace as of recent is accurate. It would be great if we got a SO2 calibur game but as of now Im just glad the series has another breath. Its not like this is some annual installment.

Is this real life?
So I guess the SO1+2 PSP remasters aren't on PSN? I'll have to hunt down some physical copies though I would've loved to play them on my PSTV. Making SO3 a Playstation Classic would be cool too. tri-Ace have long been considered one of my favorite developers ever for the Valkyrie Profile games, Infinite Undiscovery, and Resonance of Fate, but I've just never really thought to try out their main series.
tri-Ace weren't moving to a mobile focus, they were bought by a mobile-centric publisher. It was pretty obvious though that they would still be able to be contracted by other companies so long as their publisher would agree to it.
I almost hope he isn't so I can hold onto hope they're making the most amazing VP3 ever.

Unexpected that its even console exclusive, but SO4 did fairly well on Ps3 for such a late port.
Cross-gen is sort of eh but expected.

But there are also Xbox One users in Japan.
They're getting assistance from SCEJ this time around so yes.

Or it's just that Xbox One manage to sell even less that Xbox 360 in Japan.
