God dammit, they already had something in October? :negative-blob:
Yeah, though, I doubt the fall season being packed is what's stopping them from releasing Kingdom Hearts on Steam, after all already having Valkyrie Elysium in November 11 didn't stop them from later announcing Tactics Ogre Reborn for the same day.

I wouldn't be surprised if Neo TWEWY ends up being shadow dropped later this month or during October (though I also wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get released yet either).

When it comes to Kingdom Hearts though, it's not just Squeenix, there's also Disney after all, I wouldn't be surprised if that one had a different exclusivity deal.

Talking about Epic exclusives, I wonder where Sonic Colors is.

This bundle worth it? Seems like you're getting Various Life for like $4 if you were already preordering Triangle Strategy. I guess the question is if Various Life even good though.

The fall season really is packed with Squeenix games though, some of them are probably gonna fail.

September 13 - Voice of Cards The Beasts of Burden
September 16 - Various Daylife
September 22 - The Diofield Chronicle
October 13 - Triangle Strategy
October 27 - Star Ocean The Divine Force
November 4 - Harvestella
November 11 - Valkyrie Elysium
November 11 - Tactics Ogre Reborn
December 1 - Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song
December 13 - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion
I talked about the glut of S-E releases in the last quarter with a friend a few weeks back, and how they seem to be actively trying to make some of these fail with that schedule.

Since then, they added 3 more releases.

Does anyone else get the feeling lately that most of the games from SquareEnix look the same artistically? It kinda puts me off that they announce games like Various Daylife and it looks like something in Bravely Default universe or Harvestella which also gives me BD vibes but in a third person.

You say that, but mobile games these days can look like this
That's not really on the graphical front that I'm scared.
I'm not sure if it's a legit game or a shallow thing to ride Apple moneyhat at the time.

I've heard that this is mechanicaly very basic. Anyone that played before it can confirm/debunk this?
It's true. The customization mechanics are nowhere as complex as Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre as every character has a unique class they cannot change. Additionally they all have unique weapons that can only be upgraded. The extent of your customizati0n will be a few options on a class tree and accessory slots. The actual combat is good, but if you're looking for in depth character building then you won't find it here.

HEY EVERYONE!!!

Some more Fuga coming at you! This might be our last Fuga stream, though tomorrow is more likely. Not sure what game we'll move to next but there's been a bunch we've talked about. I might have to consider creating a poll at some point. :thinking-blob:

And we're just about a week away from our charity stream which I'll be promoting more often as it gets closer. I'm really excited to see how it all works and to do my first proper charity stream. :cuteblob:

But in the meantime, we'll be live in about 10 minutes!

Holy shit, so many JRPGs. What the fuck is a Various Daylife...

Thank heaven, a tactics RPG that isn't full of tedious character micromanagement.

They all blend in together for me



Kernel level anti cheat.. fuck off
lol they suddenly care about PC FIFA players now that it could affect console players via crossplay

If they make me install that shit for Apex I think I'm done with the game then.
It shouldn't matter if you install it or not.
The issue is that if malware manages to disguise itself as a "legit" anti-cheat it can possibly be used.

Those things are a menace simply by existing, that said there's a plethora of those that nobody talks about outside of the "big companies"

Just don't expect any PC stuff from State of Play, so if something PC is announced, it will be a nice positive suprise.

It was an alright Direct, I suppose. I'm still looking forward to Minstrel Song remaster the most.

Fire Emblem Engage—I don't know. The character design didn't immediately grab me like FE3H did. Nothing stands out like Hilda, Dorothea or Shamir. I hope there won't be any regressions in the mechanics, though.

Ryza 3—Is the game even about crafting anymore? Don't get me wrong, Ryza and Klaudia are as cute as ever but the trailers are mostly about exploration and battles. We'll see, I guess.

Front Mission Remakes—I always thought the protagonist's name was Lloyd in FM1 and that's the name I go by in my playthroughs, but they localised it as "Royd". Anyway, I dislike the UI and the font used, but it's not a big deal as long as they don't dumb down the gameplay. Would be nice if we can get the original SNES/PS1 soundtrack too. I hope it'll escape the console's clutches sooner than later, though.

Also, Mahoyo got a 10-second spot. :flare_lmao:

That Judgment PC thing has given me unrealistic optimism for tomorrow's RGG thing. So just to make 100% sure I'm disappointed, here are my completely realistic expectations:

  • Judgment/Lost Judgment PC ports
  • Yakuza Kenzan/Ishin remasters or remakes
  • Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise PC port (lol)
  • Yakuza 8 announcement
Did I forget anything?

At the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio stream? :p
Sure why not, as a last fuck you to Nagoshi

Lol, I know it's like console news but still "Lets ignore the studio that does remasters of classic games and go wiiiith..."
I'm convinced this release has this form because Nintendo, who owns the source code, imposed their own conditions and it was either that or nothing. Otherwise it makes no sense releasing this over the XBLA leaked build.

Oh fuck I forgot about the State of Play! lol

edit: Wait, isn't Ishin the second one? What about Kenzan? :/

Also I wonder why they're remaking this one but only remastered Y3-5.
