Cool. Looks like 2008 will be the year for Wii's JRPG's. :)

These two, Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers, Tales of Symphonia sequel/spinoff, things are looking up. :)

Well, maybe not good for my wallet, these are the kind of jrpg's I love to play. :)



Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.

Holy crap, this is excellent news for us Wii owners. The PS2 wasn't powerful enough to handle Odin Sphere (thus the frequent, crippling slowdown), so as long as this new game is basically Odin Sphere 2 minus slowdown, I'll be pleased. Also, it's nice to see that Vanillaware, a talented and innovative Japanese developer, has shifted resources from the PS2 to the Wii.

I'm not sure about the Sega game, as I'm wary of the quality of anything that Sega outputs these days, but we'll see.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Are these in-game graphics? I normally have very little interest in jRPGs, but this is just so incredibly gorgeous that it got my attention.

Awesome these games are looking great, can't wait for the final product.



Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

Furai No Shiren 3 looks amazing... Not saying the other one doesn't look good but not enough details and no scans so, can't judge.

It's nice to hear that Wii will have more RPGs than GC.



Oboro Muramasa Youtouden is breathtaking.
