Xseed Are Teasing A New Game [Update]

Xseed Are Teasing A New Game [Update]

Xseed are teasing a new game over their Twitter feed. The only clue they provide is: “[???CLUE???] : A RAVELING NOON SOUL”.

 

A follow-up tweet states: “That clue is for those who’d rather know the ‘secret’ sooner than later.”

 

Take your best guess!

 

Update: Xseed are giving away more hints pertaining to what the mystery game is. Quoted from their Twitter feed:

1) It IS an anagram.

2) “Online” is NOT part of it.

3) It’s not actually the title of a game, but something /central/ to that game. (^-^)/

4. [CLUE #3] _ _ A _ O _ / _ O _ R _ _ / _ N I _ _

    Half Minute Hero 2 please.

    • http://twitter.com/#!/GuiltyRaioh ShinkaRaioh

      It’s not, they said they have no plans for it right now~

    • katamari

      This.

  • http://twitter.com/#!/GuiltyRaioh ShinkaRaioh

    I seriously don’t get that clue/anagram/whatever and I’m thinking about it the last hour…yes I’ve got a lot of free time~

  • Raiyu

    I want it to be Ys IV Celesta but its too soon for that :(

    • http://tristsantithesis.tumblr.com/ Tsunayoshi Sawada

      Its too soon? Would XSEED really miss out on the launch of the Vitar?

      • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

        That would be a terrible time to launch a niche game, imo. Most early Vita buyers will probably go straight for Uncharted or Wipeout or one of the other first-party games. Or Maybe UMvC3.

        • http://denpanosekai.blogspot.com denpanosekai

          Not so sure. Some games benefit highly from being released at launch! It’s not like there’s gonna be a ton of AWESOME action RPGs released over the Vita’s first year.

          Wasn’t Enchanted Arms rated highly by Japanese users for the longest time… for no reason other than there were no similar games around the PS3 launch window?

          At the very least, it would force ME to “day-one” the Vita.

          • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

            I think system launches are a great time to test out new I.P. that you think could be potentially mainstream, but niche stuff…I dunno. Especially for something like Ys, which relies largely on word-of-mouth, you’d want to slot it for a slower period when people actually notice it.

            But then, it’s hard to say either way. These things are unpredictable!

          • EvilRedEye

            I’m sure I remember someone from Xseed saying they wanted to do a Vita title ASAP.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_EUSPDCE22Z6ETYY3W5XRZ2SFZU Darrel

    Xenoblade!!!

    • http://twitter.com/Fillytase Stephanie Michelle

      If only Nintendo would actually let someone else publish XD 

  • http://twitter.com/manasteel88 Mana

    A harvest moon game?  Perhaps Rune Factory 4?

    • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

      Natsume normally handle all Rune Factory games. Frontier was the exception. :)

      • http://twitter.com/manasteel88 Mana

        Maybe that’s why they’d announce the localization so early?  Because they grabbed the rights away from Natsume for this game.

        Though my guess was nothing more than just a shot in the dark.

        • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

          Nope, it’s not Rune Factory, hahaha. :p

  • Solomon_Kano

    I read it really fast and somehow saw Evangelion in there lol.

    I have no idea what that clue is supposed to mean though. Anagram?

  • banballow

    “A RAVELING”

    If you sound that out, it sounds like “Unraveling” which is what clothes tend to do when they tear.

    “NOON”

    Obviously, this refers to the hour wherein “Student”s typically enjoy lunch.

    “SOUL”

    … and obviously this is somehow related to “Ninjas”.

    It’s painfully obvious that XSeed plans to release Senran Kagura, a move that I wholeheartedly support. =P

    • KotaroInugami

      I don’t understand your logic… but I support it 100%!

  • http://twitter.com/salarta salarta

    I know it’s neither, but I’d like this to be either Valkyria Chronicles 3 or The Last Story.

  • Ereek

    Given ‘secret’ is in quotations, I’d say that happens to be another hint of some sort.

  • malek86

    [1966 Batman Reasoning Mode on]

    Noon Soul… just like the Noon Wraiths, in The Witcher! So, a Witcher… the game clearly has something to do with witches. And witches were hunted by knights! So the game could be Grand Knights History!

    My flawless reasoning can’t be wrong: it’s definitely GKH.

    [1966 Batman Reasoning Mode off]

    Well, I got no clue.

    • Solomon_Kano

      Lmao. I’m going to laugh even harder if it somehow turns out that you were right.

      • malek86

        If it turns out the game really is GKH, I hope Xseed changes the actual solution to the riddle to what I said.

        • Solomon_Kano

          That would be even funnier.

          • malek86

            Well well, so I had it. But that was to be expected from me.

            Of course, it’s all thanks to my amazing reasoning. I guess Xseed made up the anagram thing at the last minute, because I solved the riddle too quickly and they wanted to let other people have fun too.

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_N62BY4BCMH7PG5WDWRDOCQUTRI David

            Made my day~

          • Solomon_Kano

            Well, whaddya know. You were right. Words cannot express how much I’m laughing. Batman can sit down, YOU are the world’s greatest detective.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_N62BY4BCMH7PG5WDWRDOCQUTRI David

      1966 Batman Reasoning Mode FTW!!!

      …Are you Adam West?

    • http://twitter.com/#!/Leafy_Cam Leafhopper

      We need Adam West for this.

  • Ryos

    This is a bit too vague for me so I think I’ll be on the wait three+ weeks for an announcement that will either be exciting or disappointing bus. :P

  • icecoffemix

    I’m fine with whatever you churn out Xseeds. Just make sure that we get those TitS trilogy and ao no kiseki x-logy (not sure how many it’ll be). :)

  • aoihana

    Raveling meaning fiber(s) separated from fabric.

    Noon meaning noon of course

    Soul as in tamashii or associated with Shinobi/Ninja/Ninpo

    Raveling(Fabric, Fibers) Noon Soul(Shinobi)

    Senran Kagura?! 

    LOL

    • malek86

      If it turns out it’s really Senran Kagura, I would hope they have some publishing deals ready for Europe too.

      Gone are the times when I could just say “oh, so this portable console game is only being localized in the US? Well, doesn’t make a difference to me!”.

      • Kirbysuperstar2

        I kinda want to punch Iwata and Reggie in the mouth for region-locking the 3DS.

    • banballow

      I like the way you think friend!

  • Learii

    i think a better question is which console will be in

  • AzureNova

    If this is Kagura, then I have a reason to buy a 3DS now for the boobies……er I mean game, yeah that’s it, the game. =^_^=

  • http://twitter.com/#!/GuiltyRaioh ShinkaRaioh

    From XSEED’s Twitter: “1) It IS an anagram. 2) “Online” is NOT part of it. 3) It’s not actually the title of a game, but something /central/ to that title. (^-^)/”

    Just for heck of it  Its Xenoblade

  • Darkrise

    Please let it be Senran Kagura.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Legendarydynasty-Black/100002321647754 Legendarydynasty Black

    Reading the comments below. I actually feel convinced that it could be Senran Kagura. I would be very tempted to get 3DS if it is that game. lol. Was hoping for the second chapter of TiTS.

    • http://www.youtube.com/user/Kamek20xxExtra?feature=mhee Michael Stevens

      ……tits?

        ‘Trails in The Sky.’  Part of the title for Legend Of Heroes. 

        • http://www.youtube.com/user/Kamek20xxExtra?feature=mhee Michael Stevens

          Oh.

      • Shinji Kazuya

        Trails in the Sky, Michael. Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky.

  • nyobzoo

    Legend of Heroes Trails of Blue!?

  • Shadow_Raskolnik

    I’m hoping for either Danganronpa or Grand Knights History.

  • http://www.cubiz.co.cc/ Chris Thomas

    To all who said Seran Kagura it can’t be. They said it’s and anagram. There is no k and only one r. Unless the name is different it isn’t possible. That said I don’t know what it could be.

      Avalon/Logres/Union

      The three countries/factions in Grand Knights History.

      • http://twitter.com/Belphegor86 Belphegor

        I got as far as Union and got stuck. Fingers crossed this is right :D

      • Raiyu

        Scratch that

      • Shinji Kazuya

        But it’s an anagram…

        • http://twitter.com/prismatim jn (varav)

          A RAVELING NOON SOUL=Avalon/Logres/Union

          take out all the letters one by one. it fits.

          • Shinji Kazuya

            Ohhhh! Yeah! It really fits! Awsome! Thanks :3

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Saylor-Scott/1218572550 Saylor Scott

    White Knight Chronicles: Origins

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Marc-Veiga/1395023396 Marc Veiga

    It’s Grand Knights History.

  • 猫 黒

    It IS Grand Knights History!!! The anagram is avalon logres union!

  • Shinji Kazuya

    YEAH! Grand Knights History!!!!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ER2SJ6OJ6IPQ333UT3MYFWXGDU Atom

    Everyone think about this here. 

     “That clue is for those who’d rather know the ‘secret’ sooner than later.”

    The know the ‘secret’ sooner than later part.

    So what about that game that is a sequel to 999. (I have never played it.) But isn’t that a mystery type game?

  • Ladius

    XSeed still supporting awesome PSP games. I love those guys.

    • Altoire

      Me too :D

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Daniel-Morandi/100000837836996 Daniel Morandi

    Grand Knight History I bet but I think they should announce the second Trails in the Sky because Im dying for that game ;__;

    • neo_firenze

      Same, I literally feel pain waiting for that one.  PLEASE PLEASE more Trails :)

  • http://twitter.com/sibladeko sibladeko

    My first question is how are they going to handle the online?
    Currently Japan bans all foreign IPs, does this mean they are planning on hosting USA servers?

    • Ryos

      Guess we’ll find out…

  • Lexaus_the_Alchemist

    Since everyone else is doing it, I’mma jump on the bandwagon and say it’s Grand Knights History as well. Peer pressure ftl/ftw.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=592869044 Jassman Nioko

    Grand Knight History?

  • Dokurochan

    I have no idea but I’m sure whatever it is it will awesome. After all, this is Xseed we are talking about.

  • Kristóf Muzsik

    Well, we can piece “Arino” together from those letters, so Retro Game Challenge 3? Or 2 being localized? “central” also hints towards that.

    • http://twitter.com/Cudgeon Raji

      That would be amazing! :3

  • solbalmung

    I really hope it’s Grand Knight History :3
    All Vanillaware games deserve to get localized and enjoyed by all the players worldwide because they are such masterpieces.
    I’ll never ever forget Odin Sphere, felt like reading a fairy tale with mesmerizing graphics, memorable cast of characters and superb music (<3 Basiscape and Hitoshi Sakimoto).

    • ndjn3979

      Odin Sphere FTW

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=685220688 Vince Vazquez

    Oh anagrams….
    I love ya, XSeed, but I think I’ll wait till you just announce it. I’m lazy like that — but I also bought Fragile Dreams, Ys III and Solatorobo, so you can’t hate me! XD

    I can’t even remember who it was a week or two ago who said they were meeting with XSeed to discuss their next title’s western release. I wanna say Falcom, but it could’ve also been Marvelous or ImageEpoch. Damn my forgetfulness!

    • neo_firenze

      It was indeed Falcom, and I am dying to know how that meeting went.

      Spencer, give us anything you can :D

      • http://www.siliconera.com Spencer

        OK we’ll see what we can get for Trails! I spoke to Falcom’s president about Trails SC too, but I’ll poke Xseed since they’re probably who you want to hear from.

    • http://www.siliconera.com Spencer

      That was from our interview with Falcom, Xseed is going to talk about the Ys game for Vita.

  • Brandonmkii

    AVALON/LOGRES/UNION. Grand Knights History it is. Good show, Xseed.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_S2UKKIGGOA4V5EIFXAD7BQQOV4 Heehee

      YAY!

    • http://myanimelist.net/profile/Kuronoa Kuronoa

      Great pick up too, with a developer that has a lot of fans.

      I just hope Sony pushes PSP’s downloads for Vita, companies like Xseed and Aksys deserve some marketing push for practically keeping the handheld alive here.

  • Go2hell66

    Wow is it really grand knights history!? oh happy day!

  • PrinceHeir

    i give up .____.

  • http://www.siliconera.com Spencer

    I think many of the readers will be happy about the announcement which we should be able to talk about tomorrow!

    • http://www.cubiz.co.cc/ Chris Thomas

      What was the game? I don’t see any post about it?

  • http://strictlyapathy.comoj.com/ SoulArbiter

    If it’s Grand Knights History I will jump so high because of joy, I will punch the ceiling of the universe! Of course, if it isn’t, I will be sadface.

  • http://twitter.com/VasiliiHellsing Vasilii Hellsing

    Legend of Heroes, Legend of Heroes, Legend of Heroes, Legend of Heroes, plz let it be Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky – Second Chapter.

    • http://myanimelist.net/profile/Kuronoa Kuronoa

      They already stated they are working with the whole trilogy…

  • Yamaneko22

    If it’s either Grand Knights History or Valkyria Chronicles 3, then I will be really happy tomorrow:)

    Guys, it’s obviously Grand Knights History. The three words are Avalon, Logres, and Union. The three empires of the game. -huggles my book of AL:NOLEG-
