Forums - Sony - Falcom Teases New Ys JRPG in Development: Could it Be on PS4?

During the Falcom Acoustic Live and Talk Show event that was held today, president Toshihiro Kondo strongly hinted that a new chapter of the Ys franchise is currently in development.

We have already seen the key visuals of the game (you can check them out at the bottom of the post), that Falcom defined a “giant” project before.

Kondo-san explained in a couple of recent interviews that it’s his intention to develop for the PS4, leading many to believe that this “giant” project will land on Sony’s new console, but no explicit mention was made of platforms or release windows for the moment. The title is still in early development and will be an action JRPG.

During the event the sequel of The Legend of Heroes: Sen no Kiseki for PS Vita and PS3 was also showcased. No new information was provided besides the official title, which will predictably be The Legend of Heroes: Sen no Kiseki II, and the fact that character animations are being redesigned from scratch.

Will buy PS4 for this.



What kinda stuff is he planning if he's gonna go straight up PS4 with this? did Falcom even release anything on PS3?

Would be pretty cool, though.



I am excited for this. These last few years I have fallen in love with the Ys series.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I'm almost certain it's for the ps4.

Why would he refer a ps3/Vita project as giant?

Why not? PS3 is pretty capable of "giant". You have to consider the scale of previous Ys games, also.



There is no way they are making a PS4 game...they have never even made a PS3 game.

Edit: No Ys game has been on PS3, idk what else they make.

PS4 is much more development friendly. But given the install base I still doubt it.


This - Think PS4 is now a more reasonable Option for lower budget developers than the PS3 was.
Hopefully this game is for the PS4 and some others will consider doing that too.
