JRPG News August 2024 - Trails in the Sky Remake Confirmed / New Atelier / Tales Of Remasters Coming

[@TravaillesDuChanson]

I think once they finish all the remakes for the Legend of Heroes Series... it will be the biggest catalog of games that will be the most epic saga.

[@timofan2]

it already is , but it will sure be an improvement

[@petros-v4w]

and then we will need YS remakes/remasters/ports, especially for games that didn't get any (Like YS I/II Chronicles)

[@belldrop7365]

Once they finish all the remakes, they will start the reremakes.

[@nathanielknight1838]

Sky 1st needs to come to all consoles and PC. The main issue with the series is that people literally can't play it all on one system unless they're on PC.

[@alphadelta141]

5:53 For those wondering, the series director of the Yakuza franchise said his biggest fear for the amazon series is that it would be "just an imitation". He said that after seeing the first few episodes he realized this was a series made out of love for the games, written by people who wanted to capture the feel and essence of Yakuza but transform it to film. His interview is on the SEGA youtube channel.

[@KatieT97]

Right. Also actors aren’t the showrunners. To blame the actors for a potentially bad show is like to blame the waitress at a restaurant for the kitchen being backed up or management being careless. As an aspiring actor, I understand where they are coming from in telling the actors to not play the games. It allows them to put their own concept of their characters based on what the showrunners give them through the scripts. So it still falls on the producers and writers if the actors end up with playing characters that are entirely different than the source material.

[@calvinmatthews1527]

RPG fans ate great this week. A new remake of a beloved series entry, more Metaphor: ReFantazio info, the great critical reception of Visions of Mana, and more! And can Bandai Namco change people's opinions of them with these remasters?

[@ffxiikd1426]

always nice to see these videos you do.

[@eliotwildermann]

Also i just read somewhere else forgot the site that falcom didnt know the game was even gonna be in the direct 😅

What a time to be alive for JRPG In 2024 - 2025 Atelier Yumia The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land Tales of Graces F Remastered Trails in The Sky Remake Ys X English Trails through Daybreak 2 Rune Factory: Guardian of Azuma Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars Yakuza Switch New Tales of Entry Phantasia Remake when I am ready to explore some new JRPGs is getting cooked.

[@jamesmaclennan4525]

not to forget Ys and Trails TTRPGs

[@AsbelLhant100]

Either a Phantasia X port/remaster or an Arise-style Phantasia X remake

[@final909]

Heck yeah! For Suikoden HD Remaster

[@nathanielwazhere]

Wait we are getting a new tales of entry??? I missed that

[@eliotwildermann]

Damn 88 out of 100 on such a long running story is actually very impressive 😊

[@BlazetheCat130]

I so happy that Tales of Graces f got a remaster! One of my top favorite Tales of games of all time! I loved on the PS3. I can't wait to experience it on the Ps4 once again!

[@saffronu7621]

I always look forward to the monthly roundup! Thanks!

[@InfectedElite]

I'm hoping TGS 2024 shows Decapolice. I feel unless that game does something super unique, it'll just be another game people forget about by release and don't care.

[@TheKisekiNut]

A lot of people have already forgot about it. We're fast approaching the end of 2024 (Level 5 confirmed 2024 release date), and we've heard nothing.

[@NightFore]

I bought Trails in the Sky almost 3 years ago but never got the time to play it after finishing ToCS1/2/3. It was only until the day after the remake was announced that I finally launched the game for the first time... But it only means I'll get to play it a second time before starting ToCS4!

[@jclosed2516]

Well - I played the original many, many years ago, but I will not hesitate to replay this game in full 3D again. Even when you already know the story, it will be a complete new experience to play it in a whole other view perspective. And I wanted to replay Sky some time anyway, so this is a great opportunity (IF if comes to the PC too that is, but I have high hopes for that).

[@eliotwildermann]

Sky 1st remake has to come to other platforms based off of falcoms previous statements of wanting the whole series on modern platforms like it would be weird to say that for the last couple of years just to make a game exclusive to one platform

[@middle_pickup]

I never believed the rumors about Trails in the Sky's remake, but I'm ecstatic over the reveal. And even though I've resolved myself to never give Nintendo another purchase until they change their anti-consumer practices, I'm looking forward to playing this remake on PC.

[@rifa_atsume]

I'm so excited for sky remake, it's my favorite of the entire trails series!

[@DebuffBluff]

not gonna lie when I saw an Atelier gotcha I had severe concerns on if we ever get another legit game of the series seeing Yumia gives me some hope

[@TheKisekiNut]

If the gacha was successful then it 'could' have been an issue. But Resleriana hasn't lit the world on fire.

[@jclosed2516]

@@TheKisekiNut Indeed - Steam scores are "mixed" (somewhere between 50% and 60% positive). That is by far the lowest score any Atelier ever had on Steam. It seems to do a bit better in Japan though. I am really glad to see Yumia announced. It gives me new hope. I am still a bit worried though. I only hope they will do not do something like a Game As a Service, On-Line-Only or Lootbox Filled game. Call me paranoia, but that's what happens if you suddenly get a gacha game dropped on you out of the blue. It does not inspire trust to put it mildly. But I probably are seeing ghost. Let's hope we get a good game...

[@jamesrule1338]

Alabaster Dawn looks very cool. Loved CrossCode and I'm glad to see more from its creator.

[@roninradiant5989]

somehow I didn't saw the announcement by devs, so imagine my surprise to see it on Kiseki Nut

[@Turbo_Waitress]

I want dat Y’s TTRPG! That Nintendo Direct really was something!

[@xemnasxiii3992]

I really would love to see Legendia remade especially if they have the wonder chef character playable considering they had that character as a cameo boss fight and she was surprisingly interacting a lot with the cast she even had voiced skits woth them ! I really hope she gets a crumb of appreciation if that happens... I also think they could improve the combat of the game and had more staples of the series (mystic artes most notably) while just improving the combat system, it could even stay 2D honestly they just need to improve the enemy encounter problem either they find a way to make random encounter bearable or they change for a different system that's better but random encounters makes me shudder

[@firebreather4192]

I need more Cleria Armor Adol in my life. When it comes to the Sky remake, I'm just hoping for another high quality PH3 PC port. Day 1 or not, we just need more information.

[@yamivirus3275]

Holy shit! Hollow ataraxia also coming for pc! So Type-moon didn't forget about that one. Then maybe, just maybe there is a chance it will get an anime adaptation. I know it would be hard due to the game's structure.

[@stratoge]

There's a valkyria chronicles collection?! yooo

[@jhonaker76]

Thank you. Very informative video and very helpful. Just some feedback, please consider mentioning if the games will be getting a physical release or not, that would help a lot. Thanks again.

[@NathanYoungLibrary]

I can confirm that several game studios have my money BECAUSE of these videos. I rely on these as my primary source of rpg game news outside of just following a few major studios directly. (Like pokemon stuff, Blizzard, AoC, etc) I'm gonna pick up Fairy Tail Dungeons cause I was looking for something like a deck building game and this looks solid. I can 100% vouch for 1-1 direct attribution - I watched this video, and then I bought that game.

[@alumlovescake]

Capcom are just never gonna remember Lost Planet

[@sardukar-7374]

Would be great to hear about release of Trails TTRPG. I'd like to have an official guide to the mysteries of Zemuria

[@firstswordcorvus7368]

I definitely would love to play Tales of Graces f remastered. Beaten it on PS3, main story alone I think is about 100hrs or so. At least it felt like it when I played it cause it's pretty long. Otherwise some of the other games listed to release are interesting too. Still bummed about Blue Protocol, but can't do anything about it

[@ryanperrault8174]

I'm about 80-85% through Trails FC...I've decided to hold off on finishing the game as it's been months since I've played anyways, and I'll just do some more waiting while the original trilogy gets remade. I'd like to experience Trails 2nd & 3rd and the ending of FC in the new format/style, as it looks amazing. I love the Art style of the originals...so I'll buy those as well and eventually play my way through those on PC at some point too. I want to get on with this series, but it's a long term investment anyways so no need to rush it...I'm just glad all these games will be available to play when I want to. Problem is I can only play RPGs so much without getting burnt out or hitting a wall...so it's going to be a few years before I actually get around to playing the newer games but this just gives me 10+ games to look forward to that I know will be worth investing into. * By the time the final Trails games are release, is around when I'll actually be finishing up the series to get around to them so the timing should work out.

[@goldentrout4811]

thanks man

[@threeswordssama]

Did the pre-order of the Joshua figure go up before the pre-order for the Trails in the Sky? Or am I crazy?

[@XenogearsPS]

Can’t wait for next monolith soft game.

[@jamesrule1338]

Hoping they do something like Xenoblade Chronicles X and have pilotable mechs again.

[@alanwattie6093]

I’m wondering if Sky remake is gonna be a timed exclusive and intended as a launch title for switch successor. Monolith just started recruiting, Square no longer doing console exclusives, Atlus next title likely Persona 6 which likely won’t be an exclusive, Nintendo just released a new Zelda so I don’t expect a new one by next year. Leaves them pretty short on potential rpg launch titles. Maybe Fire Emblem or Pokémon so could be why they would possibly make an exclusivity deal with Falcom. I fully expect it will come to all platforms just not day one.

[@TheKisekiNut]

Nintendo have learned from the Wii U, they know the console needs good launch titles. I fully expect they'll have a host of in-house big hitters for when Switch 2 releases. I think this situation is more for Falcom anyway, they want to focus on the Switch 2 going forward I would imagine as it's likely to be a big hit.

[@WhosRenRen]

Love ur channel!!

[@shodanargie1574]

Do we still not have pc confirmation for trails remake??

[@gauchegunawan7376]

Hope digimon also get new games pc or mobile. Atelier yumia is gorgeus, i can't wait to play it. Koei temco is in peak since fate samurai success 😊❤

[@nathanielwazhere]

I hope I can get Abyss and Tales of Destiny please please

[@TheNatos]

please xilia.. itd be so stupid to not remaster one of the best tales games

[@ningensan8198]

Even if it was a switch timed exclusive fans have to burn them down. This shit is no longer accepted in this day and age. I for one won't bother with a game that I have to wait X years after its og release to release on my platform at full price!

[@cirmothe9]

Quester Osaka is already on PC.

[@MG_Gambino]

When it comes to the tales series, im actually surprised we're getting a graces f remaster and not abyss, especially considering back then abyss used to be one of those games that you were gonna break the bank for. Not to mention it was almost as popular as symphonia back then, so im very surprised. I may try to give eternights another shot. Can't really explain why I couldn't get into my first time. The trails, ys, ateliers are typical games I won't let pass me by at this point. Speaking of breaking the bank, suikoden 1&2 I will finally be able to play after not being able to get my hands on it back then (both were $100+ a piece) Other than that, I think thats about it for me.

[@rikuclad1264]

Should I play Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure?

[@erikmayfield7567]

Corpse party 2 comes out October :)

[@veezhang6988]

6:25 Valkyrie mentioned and it's still not porting 2&3 to modern platform

[@ZeroTwo-oni-princess]

It's truly disappointing that they're discontinuing the series. No more work on the Trails games-it's a tough pill to swallow. I had hoped they would simply put the series on hold, allowing for the possibility of a surprise announcement of a new Trails game in the future. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be their plan. I'm quite disheartened by this news; the Trails series holds a special place in my heart, ranking alongside my first RPG, Final Fantasy X on the PS2. Anyone who has played Final Fantasy X will understand the significance of this comparison. It's a big deal for me, and it's sad to see the series go. Nevertheless, I will continue to support their future projects. Hopefully, they will revive the game in some form or at least incorporate its story, elements, and gameplay into other future titles.

[@doranpe]

Nice video.

[@shirleymuanimeloverhayiko2836]

Someone said on a streaming ...dengeki online channel i think, apparently with Kondo, saying that so far only FC is remade and if it sells well they might go on to remake the rest

[@TheKisekiNut]

Yeah, but it's possibly PR speak. He did the same for Kuro when it first released.

[@nightwolf235]

why is limited run making a physical edition of Valkryia chronicles? thats weird considering there already was one.

[@timytimeerased]

not on switch

[@TrvisXXIII]

It’s always a mixed bag with his upcoming release announcements lol

[@ISeeYa]

I see Tales, I click.

[@KisekiFan]

When i heard the news of Sky Remake i literally jumped off my chair, best news i heard this year after Daybreak 2. My biggest concern with future Bandai and Capcom release is how Bandai is going DEI and Capcom is going full censorship to cater to the people in the West instead of focusing on the Japanese people 1st. Am still on the fence on whether am gonna get Plamatea, i was too late for Valimar but i did get Ordine, looks good but quality wise its a bit disappointing cause what is shown isn't whats in the box, ie, it has no finishing of the silver lines and the the color is different from what Ordine looks like, Moderoid made it a light shade blue instead of deep blue close to azure. Honestly while i have no problem if either Xseed or NISA does the localization for Sky Remake since both do good work there are also some issues, like some changes to words that gives a different meaning than in the Japanese dialogue by NISA and Xseed not giving us the option to have Japanese audio with English text. Neptunia not releasing in the West, am sure its not because of all the fan service which alot of people will go to Twatter and complain about 😑(Full Sarcasm).

[@jimkirk2527]

Thank you for your work!!! I hope that we get the FC-Remake from a company that produces and sells enough Collectors Editions. Nintendo is super bad at this topic.

[@deathstick7715]

Is trails in the sky trilogy a switch exclusive hope it's on ps4 physical

[@MaI2Me]

Same here, would really like to add this to my Falcom PS4 collection 🙂

[@MrHellgate82]

Nintendo exclusivity would be such an unfair move to everyone who purchased all of their games on playstation.

[@darylatkinson4192]

or PC

[@TheKisekiNut]

I can't see it staying on Switch, it's only a matter of 'when' it comes to other platforms.

[@shinobus.2654]

Said Playstation gamers don’t even buy their games, at least not on Playstation consoles, anymore. The reason this is even happening is because of how atrociously terrible the sales of Falcom games (any Japanese game in general really) have been on PlayStation the past few years. The only real difference here is that instead of a brief PS exclusivity window before being ported everywhere else Falcom is just leading with the Switch this time.

[@dammyoyesanya4656]

@@shinobus.2654from a Falcom financial report earlier in the year it was stated that most of Falcom’s games sell on PlayStation. PS5 alone accounts for 50% of sales, switch 30% and PS4 20%. I don’t know where you people get your rubbish stats from. The games still sell very well on PlayStation and even YS X sold better on PlayStation than switch in Japan. And let’s not forget PC as well. Falcom making this game switch only was a dumb move

[@rhaspados666]

​@TheKisekiNut I also think this all but confirms the switch 2 being backwards compatible too

[@guruthosamarthruin4459]

Was it too much work for Konami to upscale the character/enemy models...? They look so pixelated still...

[@TheKisekiNut]

They've definitely improved it since their last trailer, UI and animations look better, so it's not out of the question that they'll keep improving on other aspects before release.

[@cqllel5186]

I just completed TiTS1 on Steam Deck OLED back in July! I loved the art style and format. Seeing the remake was more disappointing to me than anything. I wasn't looking forward to getting to Cold Steel series and up bcuz it was all visually downhill after there. It's a shame they lost their unique art style and made their JRPGs look like erry other JRPG ever. I hope TiTS Remake at least has HDR support I also looked up Valkyria Chronicles on PC. There's the non-remastered OG and the 4th. I wanted to get into them, but I guess I can't. Not gonna buy some random console just to play non-exclusives. I hope they port the remaster and the other 2 to Steam I wish CapCom would port all their OG Monster Hunters to Steam. Playing MH3U/4U/GU on the Deck would be amazing in 90fps

I would love tales of remasters but after how scummy they were with Tales of Arise by removing the dlcs and bricking everyone saves I may never buy them

Nintendo and falcom really know how to drain my wallet. I need to buy that Sky Remake. Like. Now! Graces F looks amazing. I never got the chance to play it sadly. This will be my first time. Finally! A good Tales game! Don't get me wrong, the new ones aren't that terrible. They are just not what I want from the series. And yes, that includes Xillia. And I played that one. I miss the world map. I hope Abyss gets a Remaster. And Destiny. And Hearts. And Rebirth. If Bamco can give me those, then I will literally throw all of my money at them! Castlevania getting a new collectiion was also great. And Suikoden. And also Rune Factory. I have the old Wii game with the RF 1 characters on my shelf. Mist is best girl already. I need to save up money. Btw, with Sky, I believe falcom might not be able to show much until Nintendo reveals the Switch successor. That was probably Switch 2 gameplay. A console I will also need to save up for. My poor wallet. So many good games! I can not buy all of this!

[@kowaikokoro]

Still no pc announcement for the remake, well atleast the switch is easy to crack poor falcon would've given them my money if it came to steam.

[@darylatkinson4192]

At this point a Trails game without Durante isn't really a Trails game anymore lmao. I'm sure it'll hit steam eventually though

[@sabataEX]

For the trails remake I completely, Switch is not as weak as you think. It seems like it is switch gameplay to me when I saw that trailer and the extended one on the Japanese direct. I get that it is weaker compared to playstation but there have been some amazing games and ports to switch too. I don’t like how you seem down on Nintendo ever since this trails remake has come out. I know I will be attacked here but I don’t care.

[@TheKisekiNut]

I'm not 'down on Nintendo', I just want it available to all players.

[@sabataEX]

@@TheKisekiNut that’s fine and I respect that but that comment about the footage not looking like switch footage is unnecessary but that’s just my opinion I guess.

[@TheKisekiNut]

Because that isn't gameplay from the base Switch as far as I'm concerned. Even Ys X that was designed with the Switch in mind couldn't achieve 1080p and 60fps at the same time, the Switch ports of Daybreak/CS3/CS4 weren't great either. Sky Remake is using the same engine as Daybreak, so unless they've done some sort of magic, that is not gameplay from the base Switch.

[@Sortyourselfout-cu7en]

I agree with him, that gameplay looks more likely to be from the Switch 2. I've played loads of JRPGs on Switch, and none of them run that well, even with worse graphics. Octopath 2 ran like ass, even games from Falcom like CS3 ran poorly.

[@alumlovescake]

Switch is pretty weak even for 2017 + Falcom aren't exactly optimization masterminds

Trails in the Sky - I wonder if there will be an English dub. I have a problem: I don't like Estelle's english voice, and I don't like Joshua's Japanese voice. I wonder what will happen.
