honestly more caught my eye than expected

英雄伝説 空の軌跡 the 1st（仮称） [Nintendo Direct ソフトメーカーラインナップ...I love they quietly announced the Sky remake

IT ONLY GOT 15 SECS IN THE EN DIRECT

but hm... I guess we'll be getting this in 2025 too

That would mean Daybreak 2 and Sky remake in the same year

I suspect Kai no Kiseki will come out 2026 since NISA has been getting quicker with localization

and Falcom will probably need to patch Kai like they did Kuro 1 + 2 before they hit stateside

I wonder how Sky 3rd wil translate for a remake... That is my favorite Trails game of all time

Tales of Graces f Remastered – Announcement Trailer ...AND YAY A TALES REMASTER

I haven't played Graces so this is nice to see

I was whining about Tales not getting anything for a while so this is good

I want an ACTUAL new Tales game tho'... I think enough time has passed since Arise for Namco to say "WE'RE COOKING SOMETHING"

or maybe I'm just spoiled on the years when we got a new Tales game per year

I just hope they go back to the original anime aesthetics over the more gritty realistic approach since I feel that's what gives Tales its uniqueness

Not to mention, it makes the heavy dark moments hit so much harder

ANYWAY

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envis...WE WANT THE GENSHIN AUDIENCE

Atelier is taking the Mihiyo pill

Looks like they're going for a more plot heavy/action game over the usual Atelier comfy vibes and honestly? I'm here for it

You can only milk Ryza's thighs for so long, she has been condemned to the gacha dungeons now

Looks like the story and protag will be more darker and serious too which is a refreshing change of pace

Ryza's games can be summed as a series where "things happen, yet nothing happens". It was more about the growth of the characters throughout their daily lives than a big quest to save the world

Ryza 3 was more serious, but still had a lot of comfiness Yumia looks more balls to the wall with shit happening

But color me interested! If people were baited into this series for Ryza fanservice and got none of that game in the actual game.. This should be more honest in what it is

ALSO I swear that's a Mihoyo artist... GOOD ON THEM IF SO

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 – Announcement Trailer ...AND FINALLY

Capcom you really want me to return to my fighting game roots again huh

Both Power Stones... Both CvSNKs... PROJECT FUCKING JUSTICE

ONLINE PLAY TOO

C'mon Tech Romancer, I NEEED YOU

This Direct for me has been less than I thought, yet more than I expected

weird that Project Justice is in there while the original Rival Schools remains in purgatory

OH YEAH I forgot about the first Rival Schools

Maybe the sequel was easier to port? Who knows

Remastered project too, so other Tales may come... and probably why they delisted the titles from PSN

I still need to play Xillia 1 and 2... I've heard good things about those two

the xillias are some of my favorites

I keep dreaming one day they'll give us the Destiny duo and Rebirth

Xillia series are a lot of fun

Xillia can let you switch active and reserve party members, so you can use everyone in battle. But they remove that option in Xillia 2, which bummed me out

It's funny how long the Tales games have existed and we still don't have all of them localized

hell even REMAKES of the older games

More Sky remake images

I'm so used to CS/Kuro aesthetics that this doesn't feel like Falcom did it

I like they're retaining the innocent whimsical charm of early Sky in the graphics... Feels like it reflects Estelle's mindset at that time

Also takes me back to the late 90s-early 00s era of JRPGS... Think that's what they're banking on

CS3/4 Estelles vs. Sky remake Estelle

Would be cool if they changed tone aesthetics once we hit Sky 3rd and possibly for the Zero/Azure remakes

Also looking at the Yumie trailer again... Are we in for multiple story routes or slight story changes due to our dialogue choices???

That would also be a change of pace

With the implications of the themes being "more than one way is right"... That would fit with it

And oh I missed one

ときめきメモリアル forever with you エモーショナル [Nintendo Direct ...

One day I want to suffer the Tokimeki Memorial rng

The Godfather of VNs

Graces f remaster was the first thing i woke up to and i wanted to cry lmao... it's my fave. but man the new Atelier game really does look like a MHY game from the trailer

infel: I had a lot of good things about Graces battle system too

Heard even

And YEAH that's why I caught off guard since I almost thought MHY was making a console game

I am 99% sure it's the same artist

I wonder if it's going to be a solo journey for the MC and characters join up occasionally... That would be another change of pace

Tales of Series - General Producer Messagenevermind they ARE cooking

I retract my previous statement about them not doing anything else with Tales

the Graces battles are a lot of fun, yeah!

some of my fave battle systems are Graces and Vesperia

i do hope they have something for us for the Tales Fest because aaaa

missed it, but did the no silksong meme still lives on or was there actually something

infel: We need happier news asides the passing off an amazing Tales artist

Xia_V: Sadly the meme still lives

GOD 100%, Graces f is happy for me, i hope there's more to come at Tales of Fest tbh

Comes in here and hoots and hollers about tokimemo, as per my sworn duty

carrieface: I THOUGHT IT WAS GETTING LOCALIZED FINALLY!! I was so hype for a moment

all this and still no fe4 remake announcement....

machaera: It would be nice to go back to the roots of FE

one day... fe4

God I would lose my absolute MIND....

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envis...Atelier Yumia confirmed for March... THAT WAS QUICK

Literally a few months away

SHE RIDES A MOTORCYCLE HOLY FUCK

I love they just went "oh let's just borrow the building mechanics from Minecraft/ToTK"

Though with Simple Synthesis as a game mechanic, I wonder if they'll even bother with a cauldron anymore? That would very weird to have without in an Atelier game

Party looks edgier than Ryza

Even the red hair's motivations has "uncompromising feelings for both fashion and revenge" which is wild

the fucking vial heels...

I think they found the perfect balance between cute and cool for Yumia

THE SMUG

「アトリエ」シリーズ公式＠ユミア3/21発売！ (@GustAtelierPR) on XAnd she uses a staff gun!!!

Looks like we're switching things to more of an action rpg? Ryza was a hybrid combat system of turn based and action

And she's daying "That enough for you?"

Atelier Yumia is confirmed to be $70 dolla

The Ryza games are like $60... This is become a AA/AAA game now

70 USD so that usually averages around... 100 AUD for me LMAO

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envis...And just to show that I'm not kidding

Even if I do see Atelier games usually on sale for cheap, Yumia will probably be chopped down to like $65 if lucky

This also makes me wonder if this will longer than the average Atelier game

On average, the Ryza games are 30 hours long when it comes to story. If you are a hardcore player trying to unlock all of the items, then you'll probably be playing for like 60 at best

There's no time limit on them, right? So that can help with the completion time

Nope! No time limit for item creation

A common thing is always people worrying about the time limit, especially if they manage to mess up. Plus people being more picky with their free time than before.

A Deep Dive into the Magical World of Atelier YumiaHALO????

This game was inspired by HALO???

And I don't think it's a marketing ploy (well not entirely), I think he's completely serious

in... vibes? world building??

I guess that's why Yumia is all "I CAST GUN"
