Falcom Saving A Surprise For Tokyo Game Show

By Spencer . August 29, 2011 . 12:46am

Falcom Saving A Surprise For Tokyo Game ShowFalcom will have something other than The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Blue and a swag bag at Tokyo Game Show. The RPG developer tweeted to expect an unannounced surprise during the event.

 

Could this be the PlayStation Vita title Falcom has been quiet about or the next Ys game? When Siliconera last spoke to Toshihiro Kondo, he said development has already begun on the next Ys title and people will be surprised when they learn about it.

    Hope it’s a Vita game.  Better chance at getting a localization.  I’d rather see a new Gurumin style game than an Ys game.  I wonder if Falcom would ever consider an exp less Ys? 

    Also wondering if we’re ever going to see second and third chapter of the Legend of Heroes games. XSeed has been really quiet about the series for a long time.

    • Ryos

      Considering the first game took a year to translate and the second one is about twice as long, I wouldn’t be holding your breath on the next arrivals.  Text doesn’t translate itself.  The second one is sure to be done…we’ll have to see what they want to do with any other titles (I’m hoping they go the Steam route personally).

      As far as this goes, if the surprise happens to be the next Ys title, that more or less confirms at least one system I’ll be getting this generation.

      Personally I hope it’s a new Ys, Gurumin was a nice game but any Ys (those developed by Falcom, that is) blow it out of the water gameplay-wise.

      Also, XSeed has stated multiple times that they’re translating Trails 2 but that the massive size of the script (almost ten times FF12, if I remember correctly) means they won’t be finished anytime soon.

      A long time? It’s only been a few months since they released the first game, you know.

      Right now, I believe their biggest problem is the fact that the second game is two UMDs and can’t really be released on PSN. With Sony pretty much killing off the PSP outside of Japan, that presents a problem, as the Vita has no physical backwards compatibility with the PSP.

        It has been exactly 5 months today since the US release, and I think that IS kind of a long time to be quiet when in that span we’ve seen the Vita announcement and the general PSP market outside of Japan is the way it is.  Hoping for some reassurance that it’s coming, especially in light of the uniformly excellent reviews for the first Trails release. 

        Xseed started off by announcing the Falcom 6 game partnership, cranked out 4 of those games in an 8 month span from August 2010 to March 2011, and while they DID tell us Trails part 2 was a lengthy process they’ve seemed a lot less confident in their statements than when the Falcom partnership started. 

        Xseed, just so you know… I’ll buy two copies of every Legend of Heroes title you release!  Please find a way to get it done :)  Zero/Ao no Kiseki would be super cool too in whatever form they may take.

    Maybe Ys IV & V ?  But either way, we will surely get it, since we have the awesome XSEED Company.

    You know, honestly, I’d like to see a new IP.  We haven’t gotten one since Gurumin

    Barring that, I’m all for a new Ys or Xanadu

    Come oooooooooon Ys VIII!

  • epy

    Ys VIII, or a remake of IV or V, or all of them! Currently playing Ys seven and loving it to death. Many times while playing it I think to myself “this is the direction videogames should have taken”.

    Ys VIII?, but I’d love that it’s a remake of Ys IV or Ys VI.

    Aww everybody is calling it VIII, I want it to be called Ys Eight!
    Eight would be nice, as well as the rumored Origin port.

    • Ryos

      Given the difference between Seven and the other Ys games, I’d prefer it to be Ys Eight too, but only Falcom would know if they’re going to be sticking to games similar to the new format or go back to the old for future Ys titles.

      Isu Eito would be nice. *o*

    Maybe it’s Ys Origins? That hasn’t gotten a console/handheld port right?
