Datadyne has released the official trailer for turn-based RPG Forge of the Fae, as well as announced that a Kickstarter campaign will launch at the end of September. The game is planned for release…
Or Farmagia?
Maybe something for kingdom hearts 4. I don't really expect something but i would like a new Tales entry as Inti Pogo or i would be happy about a Final Fantasy Tactics remaster.
i give ffiv for sure to much credit. it's fine to not like it as much as me. I just kinda liked the characters, the rivary between cecil and kain. Kinda like the moment when the twins die. And the gameplay wasn't the worst. I see it's kinda mid...just hit me somehow different at the time.
I'm waiting for a XIII collection as well. I played the first one but not the other two. So i just wait for a good offer to get all of them.
I wrote, that X is my favorite but haven't done much explanation. But you wrote it down perfectly why i like it as well, except...i have maybe played way to much blitzball, it's not even that good but ehh i palyed it.
I have played most final Fantasy games from Final Fantasy I to XVI missing 3-4 games in between. Startet the series with Final Fantasy X, which is up to date one of my favorite game of all time. It's my first game so maybe i don't see it objective. But i like WOFF, Final Fantasy IV, VII, IX or the VII remake series as well a lot. Worst game is for me Final Fantasy XII, which just had a rather boring story and a horrible battle system.
I'd say Final Fantasy is probably the most well-known JRPG series out there. With over 16 mainline games and countless spin-offs, it's got a huge amount of games under its belt, and has had a big influence on the JRPG genre.
The first Final Fantasy game was created by Hironobu Sakaguchi in 1987. In the 36 years since the first game was released, the series has undergone numerous changes. While the games up to Final Fantasy X were all turn-based, sometimes they were played in real time. Subsequent games introduced different experimental battle systems and were MMORPGs or action games. Many fans believe the series reached its peak with the older games between Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy X. On the other hand, the more recent Final Fantasy games, including the Final Fantasy VII remake series, Final Fantasy XVI and every expansion of Final Fantasy XIV, have been well-received.
So what you opionion about the Final Fantasy series, what the best game and what is you opinion about the modern games.

If you want to share your opinion on other JRPG series look at these posts: dragon quest
800€+120€ disc drive.... That's just to much. But i don't really need it, i'm fine with the normal ps5
I attend to the on in one week in munic. I guess it's the same set list. very exited
Yes about 0.10$ per user. But we know only a few pay a bit more. Look at the open collective link on the post
Lemmy.zip stats can be found here: Lemmy.zip
Our Admin gives us a monthly report. We are at 54$ while visitor count, rewlquest count can be seen at the report.
Yes the magnetic rummor is quite big and i have concern with that. But hey surprise me better Nintendo
I'm fine with some weird 3D feature that i turn off all the time. That was the gimmick of the 3ds but i guess 3d is nothing they would add again. Anything that i just turn off is fine.
Good thing i already have forgotten them when i really get my hand on this game. Doesn't say if they are playable. So i want Shiuna and Leon as playable.
Some of the other even give us steam os support in the future. So i'm kind of open. I plan in near future to buy a mid gaming pc, mostly for indies, since i'm more of a console gamer. I don't think it will be a handheld, but currently it's a very low maybe.
I guess it's better to have more options to buy something than less, but does these sell that good that almost every pc manufactor and more have now a handheld device?
I surprise by these comments because i have seen quite a lot marketing of it. But could just be anecdotal evidence in my case.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam on March 21, 2025 worldwide, publis…
So is WitchSproling a sequel? Or a remake? But that also means WitchSpring3 [a lot title] is the third game? Edit: okay, there are a lot mobile games. But the one you mentioned and R are made for console/pc
Yes i need to look into it more as well. But as BakedCookie said, it's not a new game. You should be able to get more information about it for sure. If it's very mobile like i don't buy it or maybe with a lot dicount.
Do i want to play this game? Looks kinda cute.
I forget it in 29 days so i let it count as finished as well. Soul Hackers finished. It eeehhh took me 2 years. I like the chars and the story is good enough. As well as the battle system. Not Atlus best battle system but good enough. But eeehhhh i was always so annoyed by the dungeon design with it's 100 teleporter, one ways and other weird stuff that let you run a way multiple times. Even the end dugeon ist like that. That destroyed the game a bit for but. If someone is interrested in it, don't do any side content and if some dugeon design annoys you, maybe consider to use a guide that guides you though it. At least i wish i would have done that before i burned out on it.

Critic Reviews -------------
CGMagazine - Justin Wood - 7 / 10
>Visions of Mana marks a solid return to the series, featuring an emotionally engaging storyline and striking visuals. However, the side quests and voice acting may turn some players off.
-------------
Checkpoint Gaming - Pedro Cooray - 8.5 / 10
>I hope Visions of Mana signals a new, brighter direction for the series. This is more than a classic series receiving a jaw-dropping glow-up. This is a game that gives you a classic JRPG experience while being a modern blockbuster through and through. It's one of the best-looking games this generation and gives you dozens of unlockable options to customise your party your way. The story is deep and dark (for a PG title) and explores familiar themes in a new and engaging way. Visions of Mana confidently asserts its own spot among other long-running modern JRPGs, and I can't help but agree. It's proof that despite its age, this series still has a lot of potential left.
-------------
ComingSoon.net - Tyler Treese - 8.5 / 10
>It's not hard to imagine that its story about tradition and sacrifice came from the development team grappling with the pressure of making another Mana game after many years without a new entry, but the end result is a proper continuation of its legacy.
-------------
Console Creatures - Bobby Pashalidis - Recommended
>Visions of Mana is the first new Mana game in nearly two decades, bringing the series into a new generation. While some overgrown roots need a trim in the future—the various improvements to the combat, the level design, and the world are better than ever.
-------------
Digitec Magazine - Kevin Hofer - German - 3 / 5
>Visions of Mana plays and looks wonderfully – except for it's stiff character animations. The story is exciting, the battle system offers plenty of variety and the world invites you to explore. Unfortunately, it takes a long time to get there. The story and gameplay suffer from inconsistent pacing. By the time I'm let off the leash, more than half the story is over. > >For fans of the “Mana” series and Japanese role-playing games in general, “Visions of Mana” is a must-play despite its weaknesses. I still enjoyed my 25 hours or so in the world around the Mana tree. I'm used to Japanese role-playing games always taking a little longer. If you can live with that, I can recommend the game to you.
-------------
Evilgamerz - Dutch - 8.5 / 10
>This may sound a bit strange, but Visions of Mana is a game that you shouldn't expect too much from. The game doesn't do anything new at all. Just like your favorite meal or that one music album that you can't get enough of, this can be an advantage. Visions of Mana takes that old familiar and gives it just enough modern polish to not make it feel too dated. Just like Dragon Quest XI. If this is the future of the series, then I'm at least hopeful for the next installment, because one thing is for sure, it was simply a joy to explore the world in this game.
-------------
GAMES.CH - Sven Raabe - German - 77%
>Visions of Mana scores above all with its charming look and loveable characters. The new elemental powers are also quite impressive. Although various facets prevent the action RPG from unleashing its full potential, the return of the legendary game series is a success overall.
-------------
Game Rant - Nick Rodriguez - 3.5 / 5
>The Mana series is back with Visions of Mana, a steady, fun, and slightly by-the-numbers entry in the style of the Trials of Mana remake.
-------------
GamePro - Cassie Mammone - German - 73 / 100
>Unfortunately, the beautiful graphics and the successful gameplay of Visions of Mana don't completely distract from the boring story.
-------------
GamingTrend - Katelyn Lawlor - 65 / 100
>Visions of Mana is a rollercoaster of emotions. The team under Square Enix has made a beautiful game with a solid mechanical foundation. But the balance of the game has been somewhat out of whack. What's here is not bad, just unpolished and a bit lacking. Visions of Mana is worth your time if the issues mentioned with combat and story won't be an issue for you. Maybe try it on a harder setting. At the very least, I recommend trying the free demo on every platform as that will give you a feel for how the game controls and feels. Visions of Mana is solid but doesn't quite reach the heights it aimed for.
-------------
God is a Geek - Chris Hyde - 8 / 10
>Visions of Mana is an enjoyable adventure that doesn't push the boundaries but serves as a solid series entry for fans and newcomers alike.
-------------
Hardcore Gamer - Michéal Murphy - 4 / 5
>After eighteen years, the Mana series' new entry, Visions of Mana, proves that the franchise hasn't gone anywhere.
-------------
Hobby Consolas - Alberto Lloret - Spanish - 87 / 100
>Visions of Mana is not only one of the most beautiful action RPGs, it is also a very fun one, with a great combat system and a lot of content, although sometimes it seems that Square Enix has wanted to play it safe without betting on new ideas and concepts, although the move has worked out well.
-------------
IGN - Nicholas Ransbottom - 8 / 10
>Exciting combat, a deeply rewarding class system, and likable characters make Visions of Mana a great comeback for this classic RPG series.
-------------
IGN Italy - Alessandra Borgonovo - Italian - 8 / 10
>A commendable comeback for the series, capable of offering a beautiful, bittersweet story and captivating gameplay in its liveliness.
-------------
INVEN - Dongyong Seo - Korean - 7.3 / 10
>While Visions of Mana presents a fantastical world brought to life with vibrant colors, the story's lack of depth makes it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the game, and the slow combat tempo and repetitive sequences until the mid-game are drawbacks. Despite these issues, the game is held together by its charming characters that keep you engaged until the end.
-------------
Kakuchopurei - Jonathan Leo - 80 / 100
>Visions of Mana's earnestness and positives outweigh its negatives by a sizeable amount. At the very least, old-school 90s RPG fans should be glad that Square Enix did not forget about this classic series, now with a few more bells and whistles to make it quite a ride.
-------------
Noisy Pixel - Bailey Seemangal - 8.5 / 10
>Visions of Mana marks a triumphant return for the Mana series, offering a richly detailed world with deep lore, an intricate combat system, and robust customization options. While the early pacing may deter some players, those who persist will find a rewarding RPG experience filled with compelling characters, challenging gameplay, and a wealth of content, including a post-game chapter and a New Game Plus mode. Visions of Mana successfully blends classic RPG elements with modern innovations, making it a standout title in Square Enix's lineup.
-------------
One More Game - Ricki Buzon - 7 / 10
>Visions of Mana is a welcome entry in the long-running and beloved series, providing an entertaining and fun time for newcomers and fans alike. Surprisingly, one of its strongest points is its compelling story, and while it was simply a journey to the Mana Tree on the surface, the rest of the adventure is one to look out for. > >Previous-gen console players beware because the playthrough is not as smooth. The number of bugs we experienced on a PS4 was not enjoyable, and while the PS5 version was a lot smoother, caution is advised.
-------------
PSX Brasil - Thiago de Alencar Moura - Portuguese - 85 / 100
>Visions of Mana is an excellent JRPG and the purest definition of a comfortable game. With functional and very fun gameplay, a simple story, but with a reflection to deliver and very well executed, make it, quite easily, one of the best (if not the best) games in the series so far.
-------------
Press Start - Kieron Verbrugge - 7.5 / 10
>Visions of Mana feels like the RPG equivalent of being young and visiting a park in the summer. It's picturesque, warm and full of hope, inviting you to set out and explore and maybe come home with a couple scratches or bruises but always rewarding the effort with a new adventure or discovery. There's a fantastic balance of old and new ideas here, enough to satisfy patient series fans and newcomers alike, a hugely-enjoyable main story, stunning environments and satisfying combat going a long way to make up for some annoying technical and mechanical foibles.
-------------
Push Square - Robert Ramsey - 7 / 10
>As a nostalgia-driven retread of the classic Mana adventure, Visions of Mana is rock solid - but it struggles to be anything more than a reminder of how magical those old RPGs could be. If you can look beyond the game's monotonous storytelling and tragically bland characters, the essence of an old-school excursion is here, in the exploration of wonderful environments and in battles against burly boss monsters.
-------------
RPG Fan - Izzy Parsons - 87%
>A wonderful return to form for the Mana series. Visions of Mana will have longtime fans grinning from ear-to-ear.
-------------
RPGamer - Luis Mauricio - 4.5 / 5
>Visions of Mana is a strong entry that effectively revitalizes the lore of the series and keeps it more alive than ever. With dancing merchants, the ring system, and cute creatures such as Sproutlings, the game includes many staples of the series at their best, with Elemental Vessels being a magnificent addition.
-------------
Spaziogames - Marcello Paolillo - Italian - 6.9 / 10
>Visions of Mana aims to bring players back to a classic RPG experience reminiscent of the 1990s. Accepting these conditions, you'll still find a pleasant, colorful action RPG that can entertain you for a good number of hours-nothing more, nothing less.
-------------
TechRaptor - Brittany Alva - 9 / 10
>Visions of Mana features an impactful story, well-written characters, fun combat, and a gorgeous world to get lost in with very few problems.
-------------
The Outerhaven Productions - Matthew Paul - 4 / 5
>Visions is an excellent addition to Square Enix's Mana series and fans of the series will be excited with changes presented with the title. That said, the gameplay plays it safe at times, and can be a bit stale at times. Still, if you like the series, you'll enjoy Visions of Mana.
-------------
Wccftech - Kai Tatsumoto - 7.5 / 10
>Visions of Mana is a fun JRPG for the first thirty hours but the continuous backtracking and overall padding left me feeling like my time wasn't being respected by the time Val's journey came to a close
-------------
oprainfall - Steve Baltimore - 4 / 5
>Despite my few nitpicks I had a great time with Visions of Mana. The story is fantastic and watching these characters grow as the adventure went on was pure joy. The world felt full and there were lots of hidden things to find while exploring each map. The combat is fun and having all the different classes for each character gave it lots of variety. While it took me around 30 hours to complete the main quest I left a lot undone with this one. There were plenty of upgrades, monsters and even a post story that I still need to get to. I feel this one is well worth the $59.99 price tag to fans of the series and newcomers alike.

A demo for action RPG Visions of Mana is now available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store.
Microsofts consoles are probably not the best place to play jrpg's, but ocationaly Microsoft takes a bit money to either get marketing rights to jrpg's (a lot atlus games) or spend money creating exclusive games. These exclusive games wer mostly produced at the time of the Xbox 360. One example would be Tales of Vesperia. Also The Last Remnant or Resonance of Fates would be two games that came out at that time and come to my mind.
Since the Xbox 360 Store will close soon, or probably already has been, i want to know what would be the best game you can think of for the Xbox 360 and let's hope there are enough ressources online to still get these games.
Also i heard of a game exclusive on xbox with sky ships that was exclusive and never got a remake/remaster or port? Someone know what i mean?
