After all the hate and flaming that Square-Enix has suffered in the past years, I created this thread to appraise and congratulate them, mainly for personal reasons, due to them giving me, in a year span, the best two good news in my recent gaming history, the new iterations of my two favourite sagas of all time - The new Lufia and Parasite Eve 3rd Birthday coming to the PSP instead of only Cell Phones.

So here's to you Wada, even with all the shady ports and some questionable games in your belt as the present CEO of S-E, you managed to allow the creation of two potential masterpieces :)

The new Lufia:

Square Enix will be tapping deep into the vault for an upcoming RPG release. Famitsu.com reports today that the company is planning new entry in the Estpolis series.

Taito originally released Estpolis Denki for the Super Famicom in June 1993. A North American Super Nintendo release followed later that year under the name Lufia & the Fortress of Doom.

According to Famitsu.com, the new game, to be titled Estpolis, is being produced by the same development staff as the original. Square Enix, which now owns Taito, will be serving as publisher.

Aside from that, the site provides no information on the game -- including a platform and release time frame.

The site promises a full unveiling of the new game in next week's issue of the print Famitsu (due out on November 19). Until then, you'll have to see if you can garner any hints from the first piece of artwork, viewable in the Famitsu.com story.


Parasite Eve 3rd Birthday:









All hail the teams of Masahide Miyata, Neverland and Taito for Lufia, all Hail Kitase, Nomura, Toriyama, Tabata and Shimomura for Parasite Eve, but especially, all hail Square-Enix, to me, they've finally returned to their prestigious Squaresoft days, and no one can convince me otherwise now :)

they haven't made a triple A game since the ps2 days. infinity ward needs the praise not se.

I made this thread because they're giving me the continuations of two of my top 3 games of all time ;)

@Soriku

It's about the story of the Sinistrals, a race of superbeings that shape up the history of the world and their conflicts between the lineage of the hero Maxim. Lufia 2 is the best game of all time to me.

It's a shame they haven't brought those games to VC yet, even Lufia&The Fortress of Doom is amongst the best RPG's of the SNES generation, but Lufia 2 is one a whole other level :D.

A new Brave Fencer Musashi would be awesome as well, since the original suffered immensely from being outshadowed by the huge RPG released by Squaresoft themselves at the same time, Xenogears, Parasite Eve and a year later, Final Fantasy VIII
