Ys: Memories of Celceta review coming January 1st + A new member to the alliance!

Hello, everyone, rpgfanboy here! I have planned that I'll be writing a review about Ys: Memories of Celceta in the first of January where New Years 2014 begins! For the review, I have covered all the overall including side quests. They are easy to do! In fact, I'm just not a big fan of side quests. They are not worth the story. Also, I have screenshots planned because I never posted a screenshot on my review, so I guess this will turn out.

I have another announcement! Yesterday, I encounered that someone just easily 100%ed AquaPazza! That name was gunarmdyne. She's a user with a Cute Video Game Girls Slideshow. As alliance leader, I'll hire her to the team and that makes the 5 of us! It's not like we're the Teen Titans or something. I guess this will turn out. As a result, me and the rest of the gang will hire you, gunarmdyne, and you are greatly welcome to join the party!

Ordered Ys: Memories of Celceta yesterday!

Okay, I never played Ys before, so luckily, I have Ys: Memories of Celceta coming in the mail! I was one of the luckiest ones since I never played of the series. As a result, my closest friends in my alliance NettoSaito, Kharg and Necrosaro have it. Hey, I don't mind being the last one getting it because I'm the leader of the alliance and that's how it goes and I'll thank them. As you may not or may know, XSEED published the series while Falcom Entertainment developed it. That is, until it didn't lack any quality.

The way I see it was you can complete the map, finding the treasure chests and the gameplay is refined by Ys SEVEN. Also, the party system holds up to 6 characters. So yeah, I'm really looking forward to playing it! I just got to beat it so I can put my other games in my Q on hold for Lightning Returns, just like I did the same thing with Tales of Graces f and The Guided Fate Paradox. A manipulative strategy to make it nitpicky with Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. Besides, I couldn't even beat Valhalla Knights 3 because I have added a Priest to my team, but didn't heal the one who's low on health, and my team is still not best quality! I mean, I tried everything, but didn't even work!

In the meantime, a review about it will be written later on while I'm declaring a Best RPG Game of 2013. Also, it's a big tradition when I've easily 100%ed AquaPazza by completing the gallery. Now after Memories of Celceta was successfully shipped yesterday, I'm finally looking forward to play it since I never played the series.

Although it's the last RPG game that was released back in November. Not to worry, I'm pretty sure there will be more RPG games to be released next year while they will be rented by me! Also, I'll single-handedly join in the fun, my alliance members.

Christmas has come to a close!

For those of you who had a Merry Christmas, you rock on stuffing your stockings with RPG games and having a holiday cheer. It's safe to say that Christmas has come to a close and there'll be more next year. With that being mainly said, next year will be more fun. It'll take about a year to make it. After a few days, it's back to school for the 2nd semester.

Also, New Years in January is around the corner, so via that day, I'll do an RGR Release Guide of 2014. The guide will have a list of RPG games that will hit store shelves and be available for renting next year.

My PS4 Story (Part 3 of 3)

Thanks to today's Christmas, I have finally given myself a PS4 and I made sure that I set it up properly! Yes, I've finally got it! Now, the PS4 is really better than the Xbox One because of the memory. As a fact, I properly set my PS4 up!

The way I see it on the PS4 was the features are amazing and the gadgets to it were better and recently updated. The box looks amazing. I can't wait to see what's in store for the PS4!

Notice how I set up my PS4? It's better than leaving it horizontal. In the meantime, I'll keep it that way. So yeah, it's looks like a next-gen console.

The Dualshock 4 Controller has amazing gadgets, like the light on top that indicates your health, the touch sensor, the speaker and the motor sensors.

When I turned on my PS4, there's an update required to keep going. Once I finally updated it, I move on to signing up for PSN to play online. My PSN ID is, you got it right, rpgking20! Finally, I have the 30-day PlayStation Plus and I'm going to earn it for free games and other stuff! However, PlayStation Store is currently undergoing maintenance.

Diablo III - review

Blizzard Entertainment has finally taken to the next level in releasing us the console version of this game! It's a company that published the world of Diablo. Despite being a bloody and violent game of all time, Diablo III was first released in a PC version. This year, it's now taken to the next generation as consoles! As a result, it wasn't mainly a standalone RPG of all time.

The PC Version lacks excellent quality and uses outdated skills and overall of the game. As stated, the console version has all excellent overall to the game, such as new side quests, new abilities and excellent quality. Normally, it's better than the PC version. It's a big hit that Diablo III hits stores months ago. Chances are, a review about Diablo III will be written!

The Story of Diablo:

Diablo III's story has Acts. They can act like parts, but different. Usually, the game's story has excellent quality. The tyrant name Diablo was merely slain by the good guys. However, the resurrection of Diablo is complete. Will the good warriors will be able to learn the secrets of Diablo?

When You Love to Explore Hell:

The furious Diablo was an owner of Hell, a place where dead people go down and can never be resurected. Like I said before, the secret of Diablo will be learned within. In hindsight, Diablo is a Spanish word for demon. Other than Hell, there are other places to explore, as well as underground dungeons and stuff. So yeah, Hell is a bad place.

The Secrets of the 7 Evils:

The world has 7 Evils scattered across the land. In the meantime, New Tristram, is the first land that Maghda will be found. She's one of the Evils who has the core of Lies. Chances are, the other Evils are scattered across the world. But on Diablo III, there are 3 Evils to find. Of course, the Evils may take over the world, but Diablo formed a pact with the 7 Evils.

Character Creation:

When starting a new game, you can create your warrior. When creating warriors, you need to raise and strengthen up your warrior and he/she is ready to go. You can even give him/her a name.

The Gameplay:

Diablo III's gameplay plays better than the PC version. As a tip, skills can be unlocked by reaching to the certain levels. Skills are performed with pressing a button. They can consume Spirit and it's needed to perform skills. You can fill up Spirit by attacking. When you level up, max Spirit will be increased, along with max HP.

The field map has a circle icon meaning a part of the story and bonus objectives. Although the game is a little hooky, but that was despite being a never ending game. Filling up the field map takes a little time and a lot of work. That's not even worth it. There are some side quests to partake on. They are bonus objectives in the game.

When Bonuses are Awared:

Diablo III has various bonuses that can give you more EXP. It depends on your specialty on your style and physics.

Massacre - Kill as many enemies as you can in a chain.

Destruction - Destroy many objects in a chain.

Mighty Blow - Kill as many enemies at once.

Survival - Clear all enemies with a critically low HP.

Online:

On the Xbox 360 version, you need a Gold Membership to play online. It's a big pain! But on the PS3 version, it's not the case because you can play online anytime and anywhere, even without the PS Plus.

Diablo III has an online multiplayer. Here, if you set the Network Options to Open to Public, everyone including your friends will join you anytime. Keep in mind that you do NOT set it to an option allowing you to attack your team. That'll cost your hero to die. Since your warrior dies, items will lose 10% durability. However, if you repair your items, durability will be increased.

The Best and the Worst:

Diablo III is a game for mature audiences that they will not miss out on. The PC version usually lacks quality and uses outdated overall of the game. The console version has all the quality I wanted! Thanks to Blizzard Entertainment, this is the thing we hope for! Of course, the PC version is nowhere near as excellent! Also, the console version has ALL the overall and its gameplay is WAY smooth! No lags, everything! It's flat-out smooth!

Pros:

+Excellent quality
+Excellent gameplay experience
+Works better than the PC version

Cons:

There are no cons

Although Diablo III was made best. For instance, doing a 4 player is a fun thing that made it a best in game! Sadly, there's a good chance that it'll be a never ending game since you beaten it. But that does not matter because I'll say it flat out that this game's off the hook! I know I said the gameplay plays alot like X-Men Legends, but it's true! Which is why I'm declaring Diablo III a Best RPG Game of 2013 while giving it a solid and perfect 10 for prime! Good job, Blizzard Entertainment, you have finally taken to the next generation!

My favorite parts on Persona 4 Golden

Well, I can't mark my spoilers here, so I don't have a choice but to tell you my favorite parts. None of them are endings, so I'm not going to spoil them. I'll just state my favorites. Here, I can list them in order.

Okina City - Yu, Yosuke and Kanji made it to Okina City by their motorcycles. They had a bet on who can find the most valuable girl with a phone number. When done, a lethargic girl, Hanako Ohtani crushed Yosuke's motorcycle. Wow, I guess she can be such a drip as I mentioned. Well played, Hanako. Well played. This must be a reference to that part on Regular Show. This part was only available on Golden.

The Summer Camp - Spitting unwanted portions is a smart idea to avoid food poisoning. Here on Golden, Hanako makes it to summer camp. The ingredients aren't researched. Next, sleeping in a tent as a group is a way to get along. Finally, the water was so cold that you feel a million showers that'll sometimes make you clean!

The Omelette Party - I never tried omelettes before. It's a shame that I wouldn't like them, but this counts as my favorite part.

The Beach - It may be a part of the summer vacation, but this favorite part of mine was only available in Golden.

The Summer Festival - The Investigation Team made it to the festival. The girls wore their yukata and the festival was a big hit with fireworks.

The Arrival to Tatsumi Port Island - This may not be much, but I'll count this my favorite part.

The Nightclub - Although the nightclub is a magical place in the Tatsumi Port Island. The way I liked my favorite part was the alcohol part that was the best part. King's Game was the best of it.

Ramen Fest - I love eating ramen. It's the best meal I could ever had! Eating too many bowls of ramen can make you move slow temporarily.

Getting the Band Together - So, it's a musical for the team. Inaba feels like Broadway since musicals are a hit. It was a big hit that my Broadway concert was a blast! I guess Broadway can be neon if I recall.

The Internet Date Cafe Meeting - Cross-dressing? Hey, I would never done that! I know it's fun, but I would like to stay in my own gender.

The Beauty Pageant - In fact, the beauty pageant was a hit that it was made as my favorite part.

Visiting the Amagi Inn - The hot springs is a hot place to get your body soothed. Chances are, if visiting was enough, maybe something might happen.

The Ski Resort - The Truth is beyond the TV? That's not something should be in that resort.

These are my favorite parts on Persona 4 Golden above. It's a fact that I'll never lose them!

Need to suspend RPG game renting...

Hello, everyone. I had some sad news to tell you. Because of this darned holiday season, there's a golden opportunity to suspend RPG game renting because everyone's been busy. It's been 6 days and still no game in the mail. Sorry, readers, I have no other choice but to suspend RPG game renting. However, Persona 4 Golden, my favorite RPG will be picked up for Christmas and this will hold me off until the holiday season was finally over in January! As a result, I'll be making a list of releases for next year soon.

No worries, I have other games to play, starting with the browser games!

Gonna get Persona 4 Golden for Christmas!

Hey, guess what, everyone? This is the perfect opportunity for me to get Persona 4 Golden for Christmas! Oh yeah, it's my favorite game! It's my favorite RPG because the storyline to it makes my cells grow and the game's overall had made the best of me! The first time I played it was I rented it. Then I took it back before my kids came. Oh man, I'm going to miss it as much as I missed .hack//G.U.!

In fact, my favorite parts that made my cells and energy grow are the first lightning day, summer camp, a trip to the Tatsumi Port Island, the nightclub, an omelette party, the summer festival, the beauty pageant, visiting the Amagi Inn and the ski resort.

The way I see it on Golden was new content are added and sound test was added. In a while ago, I did managed to find the true ending, but by the PS2 classic. Still, it's beaten. I have realized that I'm going to get it from my brother! If not, then I start re-renting it. I haven't wrote that review about it yet. Oh man, Christmas is just around the corner! I can't wait!

My PS4 Story (Part 2 of 3)

Due to the insufficient room of my life, I decided to write it in 3 parts, so here it goes! Alright, in the previous story, I have discovered that the PS4 was at high demand causing them to be sold out. Yes, it's definetely unfair since high demands are going amok. As stated, I will get the PS4 so badly, but not just for RPG games, but other games in a different category as well.

The next gen system was sold out since high demand. First off, when I got back from Sonora Quest Laboratories, a place where I can draw my blood with my dad, we went to Walmart to see if there's any PS4 in stock. However, it's still SOLD OUT!! The solution was I heard she can reserve the PS4 for me! Yes, this is the thing I'm hoping for! It's a total shame that the Xbox One won't be supported by Japan since it's a "western" console. Why, Japan? Why aren't you interested in supporting the Xbox One because of your terrible job on the 360?

Anyway, as my gut said, I'm this close to getting the PS4 for Christmas. If it doesn't work, then I start tracking down the Xbox One. But that will not happen because if I choose the Xbox One over the PS4, then I'll give up 80% of my greatest RPG games! Worse, Japan will be catastrophic! The Tales of series isn't the only one I'll give up, but I'll also give up .hack, White Knight Chronicles, Star Ocean and colorful RPGs made by NIS! I will not let that happen! No, not in a million years! NIS is the most important company that was big in Japan! I will not give you up, buddy!

That dramatic tone has concluded part 2 of my PS4 story.

So, Tales of Zestiria, huh?

Wow, I don't know what to say, but I heard it's coming to North America and Europe! Man, I can't believe we get more Tales games, including Zestiria, which is the game I dreamed of! Thanks to Namco Bandai for announcing Tales of Zestiria, I have some thoughts to keep me waiting.

Awhile ago, I heard a rumor that we get more Tales of series. Right now, it's being announced! Yes, I'll be really looking forward to it as a Tales fan! You know, I was hoping for it to be for one of the Microsoft exclusives, but the problem is, I heard the company isn't very interested in supporting the Xbox One. I think I figured out why Namco Bandai had a major slump after Vesperia was released. I think it's because Vesperia was announced as a 360 exclusive, then the series turn out cancelled. However, the solution was the first Tales of series was released as a PS3 exclusive. So far, the PS3 had Graces, Xillia and Zestiria.

I thought it was going to make it as a PS4 exclusive, but it was actually a PS3 exclusive, so I'm cool with that. Sadly, Tales of Zestiria's battle system has not yet been mentioned, so it's a secret! When there's more news articles regarding to this game, I'll write some more thoughts on the next post. Oh man, I can't wait! I've beaten every Tales game and I'm looking forward to it!

Ordered Diablo III today!

So, it's been a while since I haven't played RPGs in consoles for a long time. Guess what, people? I can play more RPGs! After the computer version of Diablo III was released, it's finally released as console exclusive! It's the thing I'm hoping for! As stated, Blizzard Entertainment finally gets the next step forward to release the console exculsives.

It was a long time, but my RPG tastes are a little dry. That is, until I can play RPG games. The way I see it on Diablo III's gameplay, I had the demo version for the 360. The console version has excellent quality and it's newly refined to improve changes from the downloadable version. Its performance is excellent, too and I'm loving every part of it! I know I said the gameplay looks similar to X-Men Legends in the previous post, but I should've mentioned that from up front. I guess that makes me a wannabe for comparing games the wrong way in your books. As a tip, one of my friends I know at high school played Diablo III, but on the PC. The PC version costs money anyway.

Since I haven't played RPGs for a while, a review will be written about it later on. However, it might take a little while before I'm able to reach the halfway mark. Since the online rental service is having a slump because of the holiay season, I don't know it will come in the mail in 2-4 days. This time, it better come prior to the 5th day of waiting because that's against the law. I guess that's a common RPG game that can be update-worthy.

Sadly, I didn't rent the Xbox 360 version, but I did rent the PS3 version because the Xbox had to require you to play online with the Gold Membership. But that's not a sad thing because I decided to rent the PS3 version. Because of that, I will no longer play the 360 since my Gold Membership was basically expired. But on the PS3, it's not the case because you can play it online without the PS Plus like other Sony exclusives because it doesn't require you to play online. It's not a JRPG, so I can be okay with it.

RPG Game Room - now polished!

With the second season coming soon, I would inform you this blog has been officially polished! Why? Because I'm getting it ready for season 2 so my next-gen reviews will be written. More importantly, I know what I'm doing to understand the importance of the law, so go easy on me. I really don't understand how this blog has something to do with the law. Anyway, it takes me about a few seconds to do so. Just because I polished this blog doesn't mean I'll get in trouble.

So, do you want to break the law? No! Breaking the law will get you guys and trouble and get you sued! That's why understanding the law was very important, and I'm understanding it fully! That's why I polished myself up and kept my act together for season 2. I'm going to take it seriously and move on.

An interesting thing was found at night!

I know I said in the previous post, I won't be revealing until later on, but it's been about an hour, so I decided to reveal what's going on at night. After I came back from Sonora Quest Laboratories, I was roaming around at night and I've found this being anime-related!

As usual, Japan's most anime work well at night. Because of the night, their houses by my house are covered with lights, but that was only for Christmas. My small town is so neon, but not as neon as my favorite street. It has a lot of lights there on my scenic route filled with Japanese goodness. Hey, it's referring to colorful RPG games made by NIS. It's a company straight from Japan that can ONLY do well on Sony exclusives.

Mainly, Atelier games are a great quality on Japan, but as for Hyperdimension Neptunia, it's great and all, but seriously, dude, this seems like an RPG series for dudettes. Not a girls' game, but to each of its own. The Guided Fate Paradox was great, it's too bad I don't plan to beat it because of the darned mermaid enemies start out at level 5. I was a NIS fan since I was younger than I currently am. That's what makes me an RPG freak. Finding things at nighttime can be so jarring at all times. Thanks to Sony being favored by Japan, I'm loving every second of it on every one of them! Those pink lights at night are way too bright.

Sadly, Microsoft consoles doesn't work well at night since they are terrible in Japan. The way I see it at night, Las Vegas has all the neon lights. It has signs with a Selznick text and so on, but not a single Japanese goodness. It's also what I'll do on my life forever when I succeeded my part in completing my lab work at Sonora Quest Laboratories. That was in my state of Arizona that I hate because needles are my #1 phobia. I hope I'm never going back to that place ever again!

Work well at nighttime was a figure of speech for work well beyond the line, so I hope you like it!

RPG Game Room - 100th Post Special!

Hello, everyone! We have ourselves a 100th Post Special! Now this blog reached a level of C, a roman numeral that equals 100! Basically, C stands for century and centennial. As you may know, RPG Game Room is now the popular site that you can really enjoy after hitting the 100th mark! However, I can't kick off season 2 until I have the PS4.

During the 100th Post Special, I have a very special thing I found during nighttime! However, I can't reveal it to you until later on, so stay tuned, people!

Had a blast today!

You'll never guess what exciting thing I did today! You guessed it! After training hard for the online match and an easy 100%, me and my fellow Backlogger Necrosaro had a blast on AquaPazza and I made sure I was one of the first users to 100% it! That was FUN!! Now don't get me wrong because I love playing fighting games that are big in Japan.

For the record, I was thinking of buying it to keep it forever since I've rented it. Unfortunately, I heard it was sold poorly in Japan. That does not matter because it's one of the best anime fighters that was a big hit. I'm loving every second of it! Mainly, it wasn't Arc System Works, but it can resemble BlazBlue because of the sprites, but different fighting style. It's basically tied with Dead or Alive, BlazBlue and Killer Instinct to be exact. How? Well, here's the info below.

How AquaPazza tied with Dead or Alive - When your HP is halfway gone, a Splash Art will be performed. It's just exactly like on Dead or Alive 5.

How AquaPazza tied with BlazBlue - Both games had the same sprites, but different fighting style as well.

How AquaPazza tied with Killer Instinct - You can do the button mashing and combos work exactly. Except there's no Ultras and Fatalities or something like that.

Now after that easy 100%, I finally had a blast today. I bet Necrosaro had a blast, too. Luckily, my mains are the casts from the Japanese-theme visual novel that can totally resemble Ninja Gaiden. So far, I had 2 wins while Necrosaro has 3 wins. That was from a player match, so ranks won't be affected yet! Hey, readers, if you had a PS3, you should get AquaPazza, it's OFF THE HOOK, DUDE!! *laughs* I'm so loving this game! I wonder if a sequel should be announced? I don't know! I can't wait to do it all again!

My PS4 Story (Part 1 of 2)

With Christmas just around the corner for me for a PS4, I have a story about a PS4 to improve my writing skills. I'm not going to steal content or anything. I just had this idea, so it's not stealing content. When the PS4 was first released, they are sold to many people. I was going to make this as my early Christmas present, but in a few minutes, they are SOLD OUT!! It was totally unfair since the PS4 was a high demand. After awhile, my mom calls GameStop to see if there's more in stock, but still no dice. Also, Walmart didn't have any of them in stock. That's where my big brother works at. I'm guessing it has something to do with the popularity of this next gen console.

At lanuch, a few games were released and we get more games. Mainly, Sony was a company that did PlayStation consoles including this one. Awhile ago, I said I wanted an Xbox One because it'll have RPGs and such, but I just realized that Japan will not support it and that makes me sad all the way... But there's no reason to be sad because I'm glad the PS4 is getting more JRPGs to make us the entire viewing world proud. Sadly, I heard Killer Instinct 2013 wasn't really worth a fighting game. But how's Killer Instinct not worth it? We've waited like 19 years and it's finally happening! But now it's being derailed because it wasn't worth it? That should've been for the PS4 as well.

Since we're getting more RPGs, Japan did well on the previous Sony consoles, so they will do well on the PS4 because it's a Sony exclusive. JRPGs turn out well on the Sony conoles at nighttime (figure of speech for turn out well beyond the line). I'm so surprised that they do not turn out well on the Microsoft consoles at nighttime neither (figure of speech for didn't turn out well beyond the line). I been wanting a PS4 so badly, but it's UNFAIR when they are sold out in a minute! Can you believe all the craziness they had for the PS4? I bet those PS4 weirdos are liking Japan's games as much as I do.

I mean, seriously, I would mainly consider myself a Japanese fan, but it's a hard language to master because of the hard-to-understand Kanji symbols. When it comes to anime, the Japanese companies always loving Sony, especially Tri-Ace, which is not a bad start. I have to be an idiot to trade in my PS3 for a PS4, but I decided not to trade. Trust me, I knew greatness awaits us. That's the slogan for the PS4.

This concludes part 1 of my PS4 story. Once I got it for Christmas, I'll start part 2 of my story. If not, then part 2 will be delayed a lot. Because no PS4 means no season 2, and no season 2 means no next gen reviews will be written! Worse, nighttime companies in Japan will be catastrophic! I gotta have it, for my fellow Backloggers who participated to the Tales of Xillia Theme Month in December, SuperSlash (Milla Maxwell), KasumiBlue (Alvin), Dimentionalist (Leia Rolando), Kharg (Teepo), Blink (Driselle) and ironheadbison (Ludger Kresnik)!

I wonder if we get Tales games for the PS Vita?

There's something bothers me... Since the Vita was released, Japan has developed their Tales game, Innocence R. I would make myself as a Tales fan. Unfortunately, we still haven't got a single game to the west yet for the Vita. I don't know if more will be taken over to the west or not. So, when the 2 Tales games were released for the PS3, I been wanting a Tales game to be released in the west for the Vita for months, but still no reaction.

I'm very surprised and sad because the Tales of team isn't supporting the Xbox One since Vesperia was released for the 360, causing the series to be dead. That sucks because I really do want Namco Bandai to support the Xbox One, but no dice because the Xbox is a western console that Japan will not support. The solution was the game of the series revived the series by being a PS3 exclusive. If you want the series to be on the PS Vita, then I would recommend wanting it. (Sorry for being sad, Namco Bandai.)

Game delivery failure...

Okay, so when it was sprinkling outside, I went out to the mailbox and still no game! It's been 4 days and THERE'S NOT A SINGLE GAME!! I don't understand this! I REALLY don't understand this! I thought games are SUPPOSED to come in the mail in 2-4 days and it's the same FREAKIN' thing as Sonic Generations!

I just went to see the doctor, and I left the gas station for THIS?! No fair! DARN IT! DARN IT! DARN IT ALL!! I just have to keep playing Finn & Bones... D:

Finn & Bones - review

Now, as stated, I have never wrote a single mini review. This is a browser RPG game, so here's my first mini review for the Adventure Time browser RPG game, Finn & Bones. In order to play it, you simply go to Cartoon Network's website and look for Finn & Bones under Games.

The game states that you get to play as Finn and defeat the skeletons. You need to prepare yourself with a stronger equipment to easily take down the skeletons. Finn's stats are increased as you equip something strong and level up. If you're having trouble beating a dungeon, you can click Princess Bubblegum for tips and tricks. She can give you tips. Each skeleton can come in elements. It goes like this when looking for an enemy's weakness. If you use Finn's fire sword on an ice skeleton, it's an elemental bonus.

The best thing was you can mix two items to create the most powerful and interesting item. Here's an example, if two defense potions were mixed, a vigorous defense potion was established. Be careful, it can come in two.

On the field map, there's a level marked a star shape. It means there's a bonus dungeon. If you managed to clear it, something big may happen.

If you're a big fan of Adventure Time, then chances are, I'm giving Finn & Bones a solid 8.0 for great.

Played Finn & Bones today!

Okay, while I was waiting for the mailman to come, I have encountered that a game that sounds fun as the Web Check bumper on Cartoon Network shown. When I started playing, I have realized that Finn & Bones is an RPG game!

Mainly, it's a browser RPG game that I played on the Cartoon Network site. I heard it was awesome because you get to play as Finn and his enemies are skeletons. The best thing was you can mix 2 items to make something interesting. Now, since AquaPazza didn't come in the mail today, this will hold me off until tomorrow where it WILL come in the mail in the final day of waiting. If not, then I start Googling and tracking down other browser RPG games. Chances are, Finn needs to get stronger if he wants to battle to the end. With that being said, this is an RPG game, so a mini review will be in the works later on.

Although, I didn't made it this far into the game (did 4 dungeons as of right now). So if you love Cartoon Network's show Adventure Time, then chances are, new episodes are always in the works every Monday night. It was a big excitement for me that I've completed other browser games.

Silver 3DS XL with Mario & Luigi: Dream Team - available in North America!

Today, Nintendo is releasing a Nintendo 3DS XL with the fourth RPG game in the series Mario & Luigi: Dream Team pre-installed in time for the greatest holiday season. As of today, the silver 3DS XL with a Mario and Luigi drawing will be available for $200. The drawing represents that the silver 3DS XL will come with a pre-installed of the downloaded Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.

This serves as a third bundle that Nintendo released in North America of late, the other two are Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon ($170) and the golden Zelda 3DS ($220). With that being said, Dream Team is the fourth RPG game in the series. It was something that was RPG-worthy.

What RPG games you're getting for Christmas?

Well, it's that time again where Christmas was just around the corner. But guess what, people? We're having season's greetings! Now, with that being said, it's highly possible to get RPG games for Christmas. Chances are, you can totally save money for them. For this month, you are most likely to get RPG games for Christmas to become an all-time gamer!

As usual, it's not Christmas yet, but you can think of a game you want prior to the day where Christmas begins. If you think of an RPG game to get for Christmas, then you can really enjoy the RPG Christmas cheer and have a happy new year after that.

Neptunia Spinoff - on the works!

It looks like we're getting a Neptunia Spinoff, and it looks like it! I know I said it was a series for girls, but I have learned my lesson that both men and women can play the Moe SRPG series. Anyway, the spinoff is called Planet Destroyer Black Heart. If it was a Noire spinoff, then chances are, she will be the protagonist for the game.

If you don't know who is Noire, then I can explain it to you. She is a citizen of Lastation. Her hairstyle has ponytails and her hair color was a raven black. She makes a great protagonist. Here, the game doesn't just provide a deep and engaging gameplay, but a deep and girl-tastic storyline as well. Altogether, the game will have 18 females, including the original ones that are made for the Vita game. Ester, Milli, Rid, Tsunemi and Sango are the key characters. Not a Barbie-style game or something, but it will have Sopranos and Altos like other games.

The limited edition has a Noire figurine and a drama CD. The ones who pre-ordered the game get a visual book as a bonus. With that being said, Hyper Goddess Creed Noire: Planet Destroyer Black Heart will hit Japan stores on May 29, 2014 for the PS Vita.

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth

During Atlus' big announcement on Nico Nico Live, which takes place on various big screens located in the six cities on the teaser page, the latest entry in the Persona series will be for the 3DS. The game in the series is called Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, an RPG game that features a mix of Persona 3 and 4 characters in a chibi-like fashion.

The game takes place in Yasogami High, a school debuted in Persona 4 where a mysterious tower was reborn, and this will be a labyrinth. Here, the combat system plays alot like the Etrian Odyssey series and uses a fully refined battle system.

If you're big fan of the Persona series, then chances are, you should know that it releases in June 2014, but it's going to be in Japan, considering Nintendo did accept Japan's hard working that works like the hard working on Sony. If Persona Q gets a release date for the west, then I'll be satisfied.

Tales of Xillia Theme Month - starting next Sunday!

Well, everyone, it's looks like the Tales of Xillia Theme Month in December is coming next Sunday! If you don't know what this is, then I can directly explain it to you again. The Tales of Xillia Theme Month or the "Xillia Theme Month," is a fan event hosted by me at the Backloggery!

Here in the theme month, you need a theme and a character from Tales of Xillia (both 1 and 2), play a role from the game and other things. Overall, a theme month is a theme month!

If you interested in joining in the fun, you need is a Backloggery account, a banner and character and you need to PM or comment me via the Backloggery prior to the time where it begins.

Been renting RPG games

OK, so for the past few years or so, I been renting RPG games at my local Hollywood Video at Indiana and at my local Blockbuster Video at my current state that were about a 10-15 minute drive away, but there in those renting places, I can't seem to find the ones that I'm looking for. The solution was I have an online rental service that can allow me to rent all RPG games that I love the most. It's a good thing that I been renting RPG games from a huge selection online. Besides, I rent a great RPG game, I loved it the best, then I send it back when I'm done. Sometimes, I get burned out by an RPG game and then I send it back to the mailbox. Unless I suck it up and try it again!

As a result, I have anything planned at RGR to declare the best RPG games in the year 2013. In fact, all of my RPG reviews hit the first milestone mark to continue my journey.

RPG games I love the best so far:

Arc Rise Fantasia
Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy
Star Ocean 3 and 4
Tales of Series
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Hyperdimension Neptunia (Seems like a girl's RPG game, but men could play it as well)
Time and Eternity
The Guided Fate Paradox
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
.hack//G.U.
Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk (Turns out better than the games in the Arland world)
Grandia III
Final Fantasy XIII-XIII-2
Blue Dragon
Persona 4/Persona 4 Golden
Dragon's Crown
Ragnarok Odyssey
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
White Knight Chronicles 1 and 2

So, mainly, I'm pretty sure that there will be a lot more RPGs for me to rent as well. However, most RPGs will be Sony exclusive. I don't know if Japan did well on Nintendo. Well, a Xenoblade Chronicles sequel X is coming to the west for the Wii U. But hey, support's a support. As of next year, I have RPG games planned.

In my own RPG adventure, I have the most rented RPG games on my Backlog, and my Backlog is greatly maintained because I have less Unfinished games than anyone else, and have added the wanted-to-play games to my wishlist to make sure I don't forget.

Well, that's about it, people! Here's a full list of games I've rented so far. This is also my custom rental history. Well, I have a borrowed game as well.

JRPGs won't be for the Xbox One

Now, since the Xbox One hits stores today, I'm gonna remind you that the Xbox One will NOT be having JRPGs. Why? Well, it's because the JRPGs that are released for the Xbox 360 became a flat out fail. Take Tales of Vesperia for instance; it was a flat out fail because it was released for the 360. With that being said, Japan lost their money because of the Xbox that sells poorly. Like I said both X and black mean death in Japan. So overall, Japan gives up on the Xbox and will stick to the Sony exclusives. Luckily, a couple of RPG games Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy XV were both announced. They are not JRPGs, but they are made by Square Enix.

RPG Game Room - new background!

It looks like RPG Game Room is finally getting a better background! The background in the blog has numbers. The white numbers mean the regular damage you took/deal with a few "miss" phrases, the yellow numbers mean the critical damage you took/deal and the green numbers represent the amount of HP you restore. I hope you like it!

RPG Game Room - new banner!

Well, readers, it looks like RPG Game Room has a new banner! This banner above has a beautiful name in a beautiful text titled "RPG Game Room." Although this might not be much, but it's better than the previous banner. Above and below the title, it has numbers that can represent the damage you took/deal and how much HP you have recovered and a couple of "miss" words I hope you liked the title!

God Eater 2 Demo Version

I know this is strange, but this is a blog meant for articles about RPG games that have something to do with the west imported games, but this will cover Japan imported games anyway. While the demo unfortunately didn't make it before the game was shipped, Namco Bandai's 3D RPG dungeon runner God Eater 2 will be available tomorrow. In a while ago, God Eater 2 would see a free demo, but only in Japan.

Chances are, I can't rely on anyone since God Eater 2 was in a Japan import and if necessary, I hope it's coming to the west. Gods Eater Burst usually gets a news update from Japan and we still get nothing of this. That was actually awhile ago. If you had a PS Vita or a PSP, then I guess I would recommend people who are living in Japan.

Japan's RPGs of Memories Past: Hyperdimension Neptunia

Now let's kick it off over and over with a JRPG that can be played not just by women, but men as well. If you're a male Otaku like I am, then chances are, you should at least known about Hyperdimension Neptunia by now. First off, it seems like a women's RPG game series because it has a women-only party. However, I recall that men would play it. Take video games from Barbie and Bratz for example. Men do not want to play them at all because they are video games that are designed for girls only.

The series takes place in Gamindustri, a world where nations are divided into 4 great nations. Since ancient times, Gamindustri was at peace for so long. However, the monsters ruin the peace, so the 4 great nations will bring back peace, such as Planeptune, Lastation, Leanbox and Lowee.

Mostly, the girls has some anime-style effects, like the left eye being the greater than sign while the right eye being the less than sign. The next one is the opposite eye. I was so freaked out when I saw that. If that's normally the case, I decided to be an Otaku and read between the lines correctly. The battle system looks refined with button mashing from other RPG games. There are quests to beat to earn a lot of stuff, like Credits, items and more. Beware of the woman with a giant-sized bust, showing parts of them. That what's causing the games to have a content descriptor that has something to do with parts of the giant-sized bust shown.

Overall, the series are developed by NIS as they are Sony exclusive and straight from Japan. I would want it to be on the Xbox, but Japan doesn't do well on the Xbox because both X and black mean death in Japan, which I'm upset about, and doesn't do well at nighttime either (It's a figure of speech for doesn't do well beyond the line). If you had a PS3, then I recommend being an Otaku.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster - release date revealed!

This collection of Final Fantasy's X series has finally getting its release date for the west. As stated, it will cost $39.99 and be out on March. As a tip, if you're a big fan of the Final Fantasy series, then chances are, you should know about this collection by now. This collection is in fact, a remaster after the PS2 games were released years ago. After waited years later, the collection has finally been announced.

Japan's RPGs of Memories Past

Ladies and gentlemen, I have this idea from another site that has memory lanes, and I'm doing the same thing here, but here, I'm doing my memories on Japan's favorable RPG games now that the PS4 was released. Because of the rage, "RGR's Trip Down Memory Lane" didn't ring a bell, so a new title "Japan's RPGs of Memories Past" will be a charm. This post is in fact, about the remembering of JRPGs on Sony consoles (PS2, PSP, PS3 and PS Vita). This is also similar to "Entertainers with Byron Allen." Below is a list of Japan's RPGs that I chose.

Japan's RPGs:

Hyperdimension Neptunia
Arland
Disgaea
.hack
The Guided Fate Paradox
Time and Eternity
Wild Arms
White Knight Chronicles

The list above will be in order. Well, that's about it, people. Enjoy!

Time and Eternity - review

Before the US version releases, Tokitowa was a title that was found in Japan. In the west, Tokitowa changes its name to Time and Eternity, an RPG game from the makers of Namco Bandai's Luminous Arc and Imageepoch's Arc Rise Fantasia. Overall, it was a flat out success since it was made in Japan that favors Sony. So, do you think it was a hit since the companies that did this game favor Sony? For answers, let's check out the review!

The Story:

Time and Eternity has cutscenes that make you feel like you're watching an anime. In the beginning, a young man named Zack gets ready for the wedding with his beloved girl named Toki. Before the wedding, Toki and her pals meet up at a house and conversate about Zack's wedding. In the day when the wedding starts, Zack and Toki are getting married, but, the people of the Assassins Guild attacked and Zack was down for the count.

With the wedding becoming a total disaster, Toki's on a mission to track down the killer, by travelling to the past. The killer will not be revealed until the end. In the past, Zack became a pet dragon named Drake, and he can assist Toki.

The Gameplay:

The game has 3D models with 2D sprited characters. The game may look funny, but some can play it. On the world map, there's a home where Toki reports the finished quests. As the game progress, more places will be unlocked. There are various places to visit, like the Back Alley for instance. Chances are, you may earn instant results when visiting places.

The field screen looks funny because of 2D sprites being on 3D models. On the field screen, there are crystals in 4 different colors. Blue crystals represent saving your game, green crystals represent warping to another spot, red crystals also represent warping, but different and yellow crystals represent exiting the area. There are chests you can find as many as you can. Keep in mind that the field screen has random encounters that puts you into combat.

The combat screen's button mashing is very simple because pressing the Circle button uses normal attacks. It even has a close combat feature that can work by tilting the left analog stick up to move closer to an enemy. The blue gauge or the SP (Skill Point) gauge fills up by fighting or staying idle while Drake is helping you. It was consumed by pressing the Square, X and Triangle buttons. When the Circle button appears on the screen, press it for a finishing move, but it works at certain battles. At the end of the battle, EXP, Bonus EXP, money, and GP (Gift Points) are awarded. Once you leveled up, Toki changes into Towa, then it'll be on and on as you level up. The worst part is you can't switch from them manually, unless if you have a special item.

To spend GP, refer to the Gift menu. On the Gift menu, you can spend GP on various things as they can offer a wide variety of interesting things. Overall, obtaining all gifts earns you a trophy and a opportunity to max them out. Both Toki and Towa have their own gifts and it doesn't affect the story.

The More You Know:

Time and Eternity has various DLC packs. Basically, it was a great game since NIS changed its name from Japan. If you're so keen on the game, then chances are you may play it. You have to get your backs covered because there's no limited occasions throughout this game. It doesn't mean you could fail to beat it. Be careful, you could think it was a pain in the neck.

The Best and the Worst:

Although you may not like it, but Time and Eternity was an amazing game. It's too bad that it has no party members, but still, it's an amazing game. The button mashing feature works great and well on battles. Overall, it has a kickstarter to it. Who knows when you think it was a bad game? I wouldn't even give it a bad score like GameSpot did.

Pros:

+Button mashing is awesome
+Great music quality

Cons:

-2D sprites being a 3D RPG model looks funny

I give Time and Eternity for the PlayStation 3, a solid 9.0 for superb. Play it.

Japan's RPG games for the PS4

Since the PS4 is being released tomorrow, I have every piece of information to ease the wait. Now, first off, the Japanese companies did a terrible job on the Xbox 360, so they did well on Sony consoles. Basically, we have a few RPG games left for the PS3, especially Tales of Symphonia Chronicles. Once done, the JRPGs will be carried over to the PS4, but not the Xbox One because Japan isn't interested in supporting it. On the PS4, it will have Japanese RPG games because Sony allows Japan to make more JRPGs. The PS4 will or might have the following below.

-More Tales of series
-.hack (I didn't even know there was a new game in the works)
-Sequels on RPG games
-New White Knight Chronicles games
-RPG games developed by NIS
-Star Ocean series (SO4 didn't turn out well on the 360, and also available on the PS3, but with the word "International.")
-A Ni no Kuni sequel, maybe?
-Possibly Atelier games
-Disgaea series, maybe?
-Hopefully more Wild Arms games since they are out many years ago.
-Hopefully MagnaCarta games (I think I figured out how MagnaCarta 2 bugs out. I think it's because the Japanese team released it for the Xbox 360, then it became a flat out fail because of the glitches)

Tips on Japan's epic fail on the Xbox + Tips on Japan's big success on Sony

Many of you have known that Japan's RPG games are in a genre. To let you know on how Japan did an epic fail on the Xbox and a big success on Sony, I have important tips on how did Japan have an epic fail on the Xbox and a big success on Sony. Here it is.

Tips on how Japan did an epic fail on the Xbox:

First off, when the Xbox 360 was first released, Japanese game conpanies gave it a shot. However, it was an epic failure because Japan didn't work well with Microsoft's Xbox. Overall, RPG games Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean: The Last Hope and Record of Agarest War were released, but they didn't even work out well since Japan hates the Xbox and have decided to give a shot on a different console made by a different company.

Tips on how Japan did a big success on Sony:

Next, when the PS3 was first released, the Japanese game companies have succeeded in making the JRPGs a big success. It's because Sony just relied on Japan's companies that did RPG and fighting games. Overall, the majority of the JRPGs are in Sony Computer Entertainment consoles. Basically, NIS did a majority on PlayStation consoles because they made the JRPGs, making them an epic success. Plus, Sony had a few more RPG games on the PS3 to be released next year before carrying over the JRPGs to the PS4, while the Xbox One won't be having anything interesting since Japan isn't interested in doing the Xbox One.

These are the tips above on how Japan did well on Sony while Japan did an epic failure on the Xbox. I hope you understand, readers and fans.

The Guided Fate Paradox - epic fail!

Well, it's official, RPG fans... I have officially stated that The Guided Fate Paradox was an okay game... I'm sorry I couldn't beat it. It's because of the Mermaid enemies usually start out at level 5 for fans to think the same darn thing! It was the same darn disaster with Valhalla Knights 3 because of my lack of strength! Glad I'm the first one to play this game, but what an epic fail! Darn it! First, Namco Bandai isn't interested in making more Tales of games for the Xbox, and now this! I've been completely suckered! But lucky for me, I have NIS America's another colorful RPG game Time and Eternity to come in the mail. I hope this turns out awesome.

No more Tales of series on the Xbox...

Well, everyone, it looks like we have to face some facts because I received word saying the Tales of series team isn't interested in making more on the 360 and not interested in starting making them on the Xbox One. All I can say is.... WHAT THE HECK?! Have you ever been hoping for more Tales games to be announced on the 360?! I can't believe this!! Namco Bandai have informed us that no more Tales of series to be announced on the Xbox! I captured every RPG gaming articles, but darn it! I was hoping for more Tales of series to be announced for the Xbox and Tales of Vesperia become a flat-out fail! And now, this?! Darn it all! Well, I don't know if the PS4 will have Tales of series, but to each of its own.

RPG games to be released next year

Well, it looks like we have reached the end of the RPG line for this year, everyone, and the year's almost over. This Friday, the PS4 will hit store shelves so we can move on to the new generation of RPG gaming. It was so sad for the RPG games for the PS3 not to be made this year anymore...

But there's no reason to be sad because there are more RPGs to be released next year! As of next year, we'll be seeing every last RPG game on the current gen of RPG gaming to be released, like Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky, Mugen Souls Z, Ragnarok Odyssey Ace, Tales of Symphonia Chronicles, Tales of Xillia 2, The Witch and the Hundred Knight, Lightning Returns and many more, as well as non-RPG games. I got my high hopes for more RPGs to be released for the PS4 so I can rent every one of them. I'm not sad because we're getting more RPGs for next year!

Ordered Time and Eternity today!

Well, it looks like I'm the luckiest one today. Back in July 16, 2013, Time and Eternity hit store shelves after it was formerly known as Tokitowa in Japan. Don't get me wrong, but it was from the makers Namco Bandai's Luminous Arc and Imageepoch's Arc Rise Fantasia. I made sure I hold them off before getting it the moment it was shipped! I've seen the trailers to the game that has a funny gameplay because of the 2D sprites in a 3D model, like BlazBlue and Skullgirls for example.

In fact, Time and Eternity was a game by NIS America right before The Guided Fate Paradox hit store shelves, which I bragged about since I managed to put my games on hold. Not no serious action or anything, but this will hold me off until the release of Lightning Returns, which will be released next year. If not, then I stick with The Guided Fate Paradox.

As you may or may not know, Time and Eternity has a funny-looking gameplay with button mashing attacks. Overall, GameSpot did give it a bad score with their review, but as for my next review, it'll be better then theirs! And on that day, I'll get it picked up from my local mailbox. Now, with that being said, there are two girls Toki and Towa and I'll be adding them to my wish roster of Skullgirls: Dark Phantasma, along with a stage. It's a good thing it plays alot like Lightning Returns because of the button mashing. Overall, I can't wait!

Valhalla Knights 3 - Gold version announced!

After the regular version of Valhalla Knights 3, the Gold version has been announced by Marvelous AQL! As you may or may not know, the Gold version will have an addition to the story and 2 new classes Sage and Dark Lord. First print copies include quests to partake and obtain. Overall, the enhanced multiplayer was added on the western release.

As stated, the Gold version will hit store shelves on February 27, 2014.

Japan's first dibs on RPG games

Many of you have known that Japan is having first dibs on RPG games because they are JRPGs. Overall, most of us live in the west and we usually have second dibs. It was so unfair when they always have first dibs! Really, chances are, I would visit Japan and take their games, but I don't think it was a good idea since they are imported, and the majority of their games were taken first. Good thing that you can order Japan's RPG games online, even though you're in the west. I prefer not to order them online becuase I can't understand Japanese that much.

The Guided Fate Paradox - review

Every once in a while, NIS America decides to take the RPG gaming to the next level for the fans around the world. Many years ago, the PS2 game Disgaea: Hour of Darkness hit the shelves in the west. Right now, it's no longer in stores anymore since waited 10 years for the latest game Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness. In the 5th of November, a game that is from the development and planning team of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness hit store shelves. The game is called The Guided Fate Paradox. Let's check out the review about it!

The Story of Paradox:

The Guided Fate Paradox takes place in Celestia, a palace where many people including angels that can give joy and harmony. In the beginning of the story, a young high schooler named Renya Kagurazaka had never won a single lottery game. Suddenly, he came across a young female angel named Lilliel Saotome. In the lottery game, Renya was chosen as a God who can guide their fates and overall, keep the lessons up and running.

Basically, Renya, a chosen God by the lottery has a mission to guide their fates and put them back to normal.

The Gameplay:

The Guided Fate Paradox has a refined gameplay. In each of the dungeon, walking is compatible with the directional pad. With the control stick, you can choose what skill you would use. If the skills reach 100%, they enter Burst Mode and can have powerful attacks. They are called Divine Skills and they are in equipments.

To use regular attacks, press the X button. After pressing the Triangle button, there are various commands including Pick Up, which can be used by selecting the command. To throw any object, select the Throw command. For big damage on enemies, you can throw any object at an enemy.

Here, it has partners that you can take with on your journey. You can only carry one partner at a time. He or she can attack with you. Your partner can't take part in boss battles and you need to do this on your own.

As Renya, he has an EN (Energy) gauge that can be depleted using actions. If his EN reaches 0, his HP can deplete gradually. However, if you eat anything, Renya's EN regenerates. Make sure you pay attention to the EN gauge that can deplete faster by pressing both X and Circle buttons at a same time.

If Renya's HP reaches 0, all of his stuff and half money are lost. If you're in a tight spot, use the "Exit!" item that can take you back to Celestia. Even though you failed in a dungeon with the frustrated portion, you can still get stronger with the Total Level you earned when reverting a level back to 1.

At a board-like menu, you can place tiles that can increase your stats, and statues that can give Renya's increases. The more tiles you place, the better and stronger as he gets. It's a portion of the game that was important.

Celestia has a bank that lets you deposit money you earned in the dungeon. Use it more often to avoid losing half of your money. It's important that you must always use it. If half of your money was lost, would you scream or say "I won't give up!"? That's why the bank is important.

The cog gauge represents as a God Mode gauge that can be filled up by fighting. If it reaches at max, it's ready to go and you can activate it by selecting the God Mode command with the yellow text. During God Mode, Renya's attacks are powerful and it can be depleted by taking damage and using skills.

When Fates Are Being Guided:

With that being said, Renya has a mission to guide their fates when entering the Fate Revolution Circuit, a pad that can warp him and his partner to a place with a lesson. The 7 angels are considered as partners of him. If the fates are successfully guided, then chances are, the lessons will back to normal without any harshness.

The More You Know:

The Guided Fate Paradox is a game for anime fans or non. It was a big of a hit that it has a limited editon. If you're planning to get the game, then things would be perfect, though. But it doesn't mean you could watch someone else fail to beat it. Sometimes a flock of enemies might appear, putting you on a tight spot, so you need to be careful.

The Best and the Worst:

I'll say that this game was flat out awesome! Even with the frustrating portions! I would recommend someone to get this game. It was all thanks to NIS' hard working because of the colorful RPGs! I wouldn't give it a low score, but many games aren't perfect, though.

Pros:

+God Mode is awesome

Cons:

-Losing half of your money and all your stuff is a thing in a past
-Some enemies are annoying
-Some portions of the game are really frustrating

It was an awesome game from the development and planning team of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, and it wasn't recently outdated when NIS' hard working pays off. Because of that, I give The Guided Fate Paradox for the PlayStation 3 a solid and perfect 10, for prime! Well done, NIS America, we appreciate your colorful games!

RGR's Top 10 Most Shocking RPG Games - #8: The Guided Fate Paradox

After I played The Guided Fate Paradox, I have made this RPG game a shock and have listed this as #8. If you're a big fan of The Guided Fate Paradox, then chances are, you should know about it by now. Thanks to NIS' hard working, The Guided Fate Paradox have finally hit store shelves and I made sure that the portion of this game was not frustrating, but some dungeons are frustrating, but I'm getting better!

I bragged that I have forgotten how hard and frustrating the portion of this game was. I said the same thing when idiotman, my favorite Backlogger beats Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix HD. Overall, Lilliel Saotome was cute and great. I just need to form a bond with her down the road (Not in person, but it's my current progress). With that being said, a review about it will be in play later on, while one of the girls including Lilliel may or may not be added to my wish roster to Skullgirls: Dark Phantasma, but it may be a while before beating the game, and I'm able to write a review about it.

Sadly, I didn't came this far into the game (about 2 lessons in as of right now) and so far, it was great! And it was a shocking RPG game listed as #8.

Atelier Escha and Logy Anime - on the works!

Well, it's official, RPG fans! Atelier Escha and Logy is getting an anime series in 2014! Because of that, Gust celebrates its 20th anniversary. The anime will be aired on 2014, but however, it will be in Japan. If you're hoping for it to air in the west, then chances are, I would recommend Adult Swim to have it, or we get nothing of this.

Overall, the actual game was out in Japan and it will hit western store shelves next year. As I said before, the game has two stories. Escha's story follows the footsteps while Logy's story focuses on exploration. If you don't know whose story to choose, you can use a coin toss. The game was actually did by Tecmo Koei like the previous game Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk. Like I said, Atelier Escha and Logy will hit western store shelves on March 2014.

Just ordered The Guided Fate Paradox today!

After NIS America's perserverance of giving us the "anime" reference at nighttime, The Guided Fate Paradox have finally hit the shelves and I made sure that I was the first one to record it on my Backloggery to get better results the moment it was successfully shipped! Once Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory was released in March, NIS was made the best company that made the colorful RPG's. As you may or may not know, NIS keeps up with the hard working on the majority on PlayStation consoles and other media, and that includes making The Guided Fate Paradox a big RPG hit! It was a big of a hit that Mugen Souls Z and Atelier Escha and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky were in the works, and they are released the following year.

When NIS America announced a PS Vita treatment for Hyperdimension Neptunia, I bragged that it was an RPG game for girls, but darn, I was wrong! It's because I have realized that male Otaka can play girl games with a lot of moe, but that's kinda crazy! Once Disgaea D2 was out, NIS had a great perserverance of keeping the Vita RPG's going. That was the last we heard from NIS. That is, until their games were colorful so far. Last year, I did the thing with Tales of Graces f when putting other games on hold. This time, I did the same thing when that situation had made me put my other games on hold! Looks like I found the best strategy!

Now after Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness hit the shelves somewhere in October, The Guided Fate Paradox is being released. Sadly, I'm not too comfortable with it since it was a development and planning team of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. Overall, I played Disgaea and didn't even play it that much because of my lack of RPG tastes. With my agenda that being said, a review will be written about it, and one of the girls and stages on the game may or may not be added to the wish roster of Skullgirls: Dark Phantasma, but it might be a long time before I'm able to beat the game, write a review about it and add herself and a stage to the wish roster. In that day, it will be picked up from the mail. As a tip, if you fans had a PlayStation 3, and if you love NIS' colorful RPGs, miscellaneous things and anime, then I would give you credit while checking it out.

Sadly, I didn't get the limited or the special edition, but got the regular edition that was only available for renting.

RGR's Top 10 Most Shocking RPG Games - #9: Hyperdimension Neptunia

I know I said that Hyperdimension Neptunia is an RPG game for girls when PP was announced for the PS Vita, so now, be straight with me. If you're a male Otaku like I am in the beginning, would you prefer play the game? If so, then I recommend giving you credit. In my opinion, it REALLY is an RPG game for girls because in all games of the series, you are likely to have girls in your party. I know I bragged about it back in my Backloggery when I have beaten Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory. I realized something. I recall about the male Otaka that can play the game.

Not no female-fanbase RPG game, but really, NIS did establish a great perserverance on keeping the Vita RPGs going and giving us the "anime" reference at nighttime (It was a figure of speech meaning making us proud). Great work, NIS America, we love you and your games! That is one of the most shocking games listed as #9.

The Guided Fate Paradox - out tomorrow

NIS America's RPG game, The Guided Fate Paradox will be released tomorrow. It's one of NIS' RPG games that was a developement and planning team of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, and it follows a young high schooler. The gameplay to it was so sharp and can consist of treasure hunting. If you're one of the gamers out there who's wanting the game like I am, then chances are, I would recommend it to anyone.

RGR's Top 10 Most Shocking RPG Games - #10: Project X Zone

After Fire Emblem: Awakening was released, Project X Zone was out in stores, and the characters of three companies Namco Bandai, SEGA and Capcom join forces for a most explosive crossover game yet! Okay, so be straight. If you're not so keen on some turn-based strategy RPG games including Project X Zone, then don't play them. It's an okay game, but has about 50 chapters! That's TOO LONG!! Also, it will make YOU jump out of the window! The worst part was if you have an issue, then you had to use a quicksave feature and fix the issue you're on! Besides, there's the best part; if you can't beat it, then you can feel free to quit, unless if you want to beat it, of course. Overall, I recommend renting the game instead of buying it.

When reaching the 25-chapter mark, the game really begins, and it's the third entry in the series. What's really worse was the chapters get REALLY harder than Fire Emblem since both games are directly related because of the units and stuff. That is shocking game #10.

RGR's Top 10 Most Shocking RPG Games

Top 10 shocking RPG games are the best! I'll write my own shocking moments on 10 RPG games that I played and never played with my personal writing skills. I know I said at the Backloggery when talking to peach_waffles that I have some things to do over at RGR, so as a responsible site owner, I had to do so, just to ease the wait for my RPG games to come in the mail. RGR's Top 10 Most Shocking RPG Games is in fact, about 10 RPG games that has the most shocking moments on each RPG games, as well as information that has rants and raves and stuff. Overall, this is similar to Entertainers with Byron Allen. Below is a list of RPG games will be in the top 10.

RPG games will be in the top 10:

Project X Zone
Record of Agarest War
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Dragon's Crown
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl

The Guided Fate Paradox
Time and Eternity

Above is a list that will be in the top 10. Do not tell me what game above will be #1. You just have to keep it a secret.

Record of Agarest War 2 review

Compile Heart and Idea Factory are great companies that did this RPG game. Many years ago, the first game in the series have hit store shelves. If you're a big fan of the turn-based RPG game series, then chances are, you have came to the right place to read the review of Record of Agarest War 2!

Welcome to Agarest:

Agarest, a vast land where nations are divided and the kings and queens set the land in peace right when the war starts. When the war starts, the kings and queens are here to bring back peace to Agarest.

Record of Agarest War 2 has a main character named Weiss. He's wanting to be a demon slayer because demons cause havoc in the world. When he woke up in his dream, a young girl named Aina accompanies Weiss on his travels of being a demon slayer.

Generations:

They are like chapters, but has a section to the story. The game has generations that you can beat. It's something like parts of the story.

The Gameplay:

The game's graphics are different than the previous installments. In this installment, you can walk in a world map. In the field map, be sure to look for the event symbols and they can progress the game. Unlike the previous installments, there are random encounters. Or if you want to start the battle manually, press the R1 button. There are symbol maps and they are a type of maps that has spots with enemies and events.

If you're in a town, there are some events that can decrease and increase a character's affection. If a certain choice is selected, a character can increase or decrease affection. Their affections are just for show and may not affect their stats.

Here, the battle system is different than the previous installments. When the 4 characters are in a formation with a certain spot, their bodies flash red and everybody can attack together. Record of Agarest War 2 has 4 attack types; X for Down attacks, square for Stun attacks, triangle for Burst attacks and circle for projectiles.

If a certain point reaches when making a combo, you are awarded an Ultimate Point and it can give the possibility to perform a finishing move and it can be performed using the L1 button. When the combo reaches a certain point, you are likely to do an all-out Ultimate Attack. During the move, mash buttons as many times as you can until the AP (Action Point) gauge runs out. AP is capable of giving characters actions.

When leveled up, you are likely to give out points to characters to strengthen them up. If it wasn't enough, then use PP (Party Points). PP is a type of point that can also strengthen characters and they can be earned in certain battles and by completing commissions.

Commissions are like quests, but different. If the text was green, it means commission complete, and they can earn you items, G, TP (Technical Point, but not the Tales of series' version of MP, and can needed to buy and learn skills) and PP. Complete all commissions and you will earn a trophy.

The More You Know:

Record of Agarest War 2 was actually a third entry because Zero was a second entry to the series. The series were developed/published by Aksys Games, Idea Factory, Compile Heart and Red Entertainment. Despite being a turn-based strategy RPG, the Record of Agarest War series turns out to play alot like Ubisoft's Enchanted Arms. Also, Record of Agarest War 2 is not for everyone. Since you're not so keen on the series, then this is not for you to play. However, that doesn't mean you can't play it or watch someone else play it.

Pros:

+Ultimate finishing moves are the best

Cons:

-Random Encounters are annoying
-Alluring gameplay experience
-Gameplay looks tedious
-Combat system plays like a lame version of Enchanted Arms

Although Record of Agarest War 2 was an okay game. Sure, the game is too alluring, but not the best game out there. In the end, I give Record of Agarest War 2 for the PlayStation 3 a solid 7.0 for good.

Record of Agarest War 2 review coming soon!

Good day, RPG fans! When continuing my journey for RPG game reviews, I have a review about Aksys' RPG game Record of Agarest War 2 coming soon because I have ordered it today! It's not just because I played the previous installments before, but it looks interesting and easy to 100% as well. This 11th review continues the reviewing since I currently had 10 reviews to hit the first milestone mark.

Sadly, I'm not the first one to get the game since it's been out 1 year ago and I didn't beat the previous games in the series. Zero on the other hand, I should've put it on Easy difficulty because I'm sick of getting a Game Over like around 10 times! The first one has an Easy difficulty and it's turning out to be bearable. This latest installment was considered as the third one because Zero was the second installment. I had to record that on my Backloggery to show them off, and I hope it has an Easy difficulty so I can beat it quickly with a possibility to 100% it.

Mugen Souls Z

If you're a big fan of NIS' RPG game series like me, then chances are, you should have at least known about Mugen Souls by now. It's a sequel to Mugen Souls with new adventures and new abilities as such. Overall, the sequel's title was called Mugen Souls Z and it's NOT a Dragon Ball Z reference just because it has the letter Z at the end of the title! You can understand. The gameplay has a return of team attacks, TCS (Triple Counter Stops), Mugen Points and more. Mugen Souls Z will hit store shelves in the west, so once it releases, you don't wanna miss it!

Valhalla Knights 3 review

XSEED Games JKS is a company that published those keen RPG games, such as, The Last Story, Wild Arms 4 and 5, Valhalla Knights and more. Marvelous AQL and Marvelous U.S.A. have made this third entry with XSEED. Do you think XSEED would like it when the two Marvelous branches of the same company helped the company? Let's check out the most amazing review of Valhalla Knights 3!

The Setting:

The game takes place in a prison that can increase your HP and SP. Also, it's a town full of various places including the love hotel, a place where you can get closer to any girl you like.

The Gameplay:

At the beginning, you are likely to make your own person. The first step is to choose what is his/her race, the second step is to give your character a look, like giving him/her skin color, a hairstyle, body filth and more, and the third final step is to finalize your person. Like other games, you can choose what class you're comfortable with. Also, you can make more people for your team. It even had an opportunity to give your team name. You can call your team Mad Servants because Veronica Bartess is the temporary leader of her team, she had a husband who dumped her so badly, and now, she swears vengeance upon him.

The gameplay looks different than the previous installments on the series, because if you touch an enemy, the battle begins with the leader's party. Here, you can have up to 7 people in your party. When attacking the clan's leader first, you will have less EXP, but more items. It's highly likely to attack the leader last. When leveling up, you earn BP (Bonus Points), and they are capable strengthening up your team in the Stats menu. Every time you defeat an enemy, you earn SBP (Skill Bonus Points), and they are capable of learning skills. If you have enough SBP, you can carry over to the skill tree in the Skill menu under Learn.

Here, you can assign skills to the Slots menu. There are 2 command slots; one has a directional pad without the L button and one has a directional pad with the L button. However, skills will consume SP (Skill Points), so use them wisely. Also, it even has passive skills as well.

Like other games, VK3 has quests that you can partake. There are bounty quests that are easy to complete, and they can give you quick cash when you're fresh out of money by buying them like crazy. Every time you complete quests, you will be awarded.

In the battlefield, if your members of the team has a death countdown, you must quickly use a Return Vial before the clock reaches 0. Otherwise, death is upon them. The solution is when your members die, you can bring dead corpses to the church to revive them from the dead, but costs money. The higher the level, the more expensive the pay will be.

Unlike other games, VK3 has a Boost gauge feature and it can be filled up by fighting and parrying the enemy's attack. Once it's full, you can touch the "Boost" symbol and it increases attack and defense. The gauge resets at the end of each battle, so don't hesitate to use it many times.

There's a relationship system that allows you to get closer to any people, including the girls, even in a love hotel. It's highly likely to get closer to girls to increase the relationship. Also, you can give the people a gift.

Pros:

+Superb gameplay experience
+Boost gauge is an interesting feature

Cons:

-Pay for the revive increases is a hassle

Valhalla Knights 3 is not a game meant for everyone because it was rated M for Mature, my favorite ESRB rating with strong language and blood. In the end, I give XSEED's latest game Valhalla Knights 3 a solid 9.0 for superb.

Hyperdimension Neptunia is getting a PS Vita treatment?

Well, RPG fans, it looks like it! Thanks to NIS America's great perserverance of announcing the games with some "anime" stylization and keeping the Vita RPGs going, NIS America's female fanbase RPG game called Hyperdimension Neptunia PP is coming to the PS Vita in the west! Like other games, you are likely to have girls in your party. PP provides players including male Otakus out there with a keen storyline and gameplay to it. Also, new girls, too.

Atelier Escha and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky

If you're a big fan of the Atelier series, then chances are, you should have at least known about the Dusk world now. It's one of the RPG games that provides Atelier fans out there with not just the engaging gameplay, but a deep and darker storyline as well. Just like on Ever Grace, Mana Khemia 2 and Tales of Xillia, this game has 2 stories; Escha's story focuses on a great and traditional RPG with some deep action. Logy's story has some deep and serious things on focusing on world exploration as well. If you don't know what story to decide, you can use a coin toss. Heads for Escha's story and Tails for Logy's story. Here, the release date for Atelier Escha and Logy will be March 11, 2014. If you're planning to get it, I'll be wishing you luck!

Valhalla Knights 3 review coming Monday

Hello there, RPG readers! I'd like to announce that the review for Valhalla Knights 3 will be coming Monday, so I hope you like it! In the other news, this review for Valhalla Knights 3 will be the 10th review in order hit the first milestone, thus moving on to the next chapter of my journey of reviews!

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix review (Part 3 of 3)

This is the final part of the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix review. Here, this final part will be about Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Because it has no gameplay, I'm gonna skip the gameplay part since it was ended up a movie.

The Story of 358/2 Days:

Once upon a time in Twilight Town, a young man who was a member of the Org. 13 was named Roxas. In the 7th day, Roxas begins his summer vacation. On the next day, Roxas and another member of the Org. 13 named Axel begins their first helping of the salty-sweet popsicle on the top of the tower. In that day, Xion, a member of the Org. 13 meets up with Roxas. Back at the top of the tower, Her and Roxas are eating their salty-sweet popsicle. In that day, Roxas, Axel and Xion are sitting at the top of the tower, eating the popsicle.

The situation took a turn for the worse when Xion had to turn into Sora. If she didn't, Roxas might die. In the 358th day, Xion kills herself to protect Roxas. And then, Roxas had his tears of joy.

Since this is part 3 of the review, I give Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix a whopping 9.0 for superb.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix review (Part 2 of 3)

The Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix review continues in part 2. This second part will cover Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. This is a game that was released for the PS2, which was many years ago. Let's read the second part of the review.

The Story of Chain of Memories:

After a decisive victory over Ansem, Sora, Donald and Goofy walk down the trail to the Castle Oblivion. There, they found a mysterious Nobody. Nobodies are a type of people. A Nobody gives Sora a card. With a card in possession, Sora must face a new challenge and a greater foe. Also, a new objective. The objective was to reach to the top of the castle. A new challenge is to use the power of the cards and a greater foe was located on the top of the castle.

The Gameplay:

The game is completely different than the games of the series. Unlike the other games, you are likely to make a room with a card on each world. On every game, Traverse Town is the first world as a home world. Each card has different colors, red cards for attacking, blue cards for magic and green cards for supportive actions including friend cards during combat. There's also yellow cards that are marked as special. Cards can also open new worlds, like Agrabah, Monstro, Olympus Coliseum, Halloweentown, Wonderland and more. Be sure to look out for enemies that are in the map. If you touch an enemy, the battle begins.

Here in the combat system, you are likely to choose a card to play on. If you choose 3 certain cards, you perform a sleight. Sleights are moves that are better than regular attacks because they are powerful. To perform one, choose 3 cards and press the Triangle button. If you had a summon card, you can call forth friends. Here, a Guard Break! phrase flashes when the card you picked has a lower number than the enemy's card and the friend card has a low number. When leveled up, you can choose what reward you like. Rewards are Max CP, Max HP and learn a new sleight. Plus, unique cards or Premium Cards are found after certain battles won.

Unlike the other games, Chain of Memories has Moogle Points that you can spend on the Moogle Room. If you're fresh out of cards when trying to pick the right cards, press the Up directional pad and hold the X button. The countdown increases upon getting a new deck.

Pros:

+Premium Cards are interesting.

Cons:

-Some enemies are annoying.
-Choosing a right card is really frustrating.

News about RPG games for the Xbox One and PS4

The new systems Xbox One and PS4 are going to be released soon, so I have the best news. Some of you have encountered the craziness because the RPG games will be for the Xbox One and PS4. Some of them will hit store shelves on launch day. Overall, there will be more RPG games to be announced, so there will be hope! If the new systems released on launch day, then chances are, you can have gamer quality.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix review (Part 1 of 3)

Many years ago, this first game hits the store shelves for the PS2 and this an RPG game has a crossover with Disney and Square for parodic fun. This game is called Kingdom Hearts. It's an RPG crossover where Square and Disney characters join forces and fight evil.

Since Square and Enix combined together to make Square-Enix, the company had a major slump when they did a good job announcing Final Fantasy X-2, an RPG game hits the shelves a long time ago. So what did you think when the now Square-Enix had every piece of information? And how will the Kingdom Hearts universe will have this cool collection? For answers, check out the review.

The Story of Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix:

A young man named Sora is living with his friends Riku and Kairi in the Destiny Island. However, a black substance swallows Sora to the unknown world, which is not just a dream, but it's still a dream. There, he came across 3 weapons sword, shield and rod. He uses one weapon and gives up one weapon. He uses a weapon to fight off the spider-like Heartlesses. Heartlesses are one of the bad creatures that goes after the light of the master.

When Sora encountered a storm outside, the spiders of the Heartless species appear out of nowhere. In the area where Riku was at, Sora earns himself the magic weapon that fends off the darkness, the Keyblade. After that, Sora ends himself up at Traverse Town. It's in the other world and it's a town where the adventure begins at.

In the 3rd District, Sora meets up with Donald and Goofy, Mickey Mouse's friends. For the big adventure, they are one for all and all for one! However, in Hollow Bastion, Riku determined that there will be one Keyblade Master and that is him. The main reason why Donald and Goofy abandoned Sora is because of their mission to keep their eyes out for the Key. However, the situation took a turn for the better when Sora informs that he has a weapon is called a heart and the Keyblade returns to him.

About the Keyholes:

When the Keyholes are opened, the Heartlesses come. The reason why the Keyholes are needed to be sealed was so the Heartlesses will be no more.

The Gameplay:

The gameplay and HUD look the same as the PS2 version, but the graphics are different because when playing in 720p, the texture changed. In 1.5 Remix, the green Triangle button command appears at the top of the command list. It was the same feature from Kingdom Hearts II. Also, new cutscenes, color changes and more are in 1.5 Remix. While outside of battle, the command list turns blue while the command list turns red in combat. It has the same thing from the classic .hack//. Unlike the Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts has a different level up system that can offer you one or two things on every level. You may know that 1.5 Remix didn't have Kingdom Hearts II, but it'll be on 2.5 Remix, which Square Enix has finally announced. If you have a Summon stone, then you are able to summon a character. Each of the Summon stone can be used once on every battle. Some has MP. When it reaches 0, they can be dismissed. You can dismiss a Summon character by selecting Dismiss on the list. You are most likely to play as Sora. If you choose the Attack command many times, you perform a combo. There will be abilities and they can be equipped with the right amount of AP. As the game progress, you learn new Magic and upgrade Magic as well. There will also be some brutal attacks called special attacks and supportive techniques that consume MP. The yellow line on the top part of the MP gauge is Little MP. When it reaches a certain point, you earn 1 MP.

Here, Kingdom Hearts has a Gummi Ship, a flying object that takes them to another world. You can edit your Gummi Ship using the measurements. Stars represent how hard the mission will be. Some blueprints are redesigned while some aren't redesigned.

Pros:

+Same gameplay from the PS2 version.
+Awesome combat experience.
+Making a Gummi Ship is very creative work.
+Gameplay quality from .hack//.

Cons:

-Kingdom Hearts' level up system is tedious.

I can't give it a score yet until part 3 of the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix review.

Just ordered Valhalla Knights 3 today!

After a demand and a long wait, Valhalla Knights 3 has finally hit the shelves! I made sure that I was the first one to know more about the game that was released in the 15th of October, but was the second one to get the game. Hey, I don't mind playing second banana since I'm hosting a Tales of Xillia Theme Month in December. I heard Valhalla Knights 3 was an easy game to 100%. If you're a big fan of the Valhalla Knights series, then chances are, I'm expecting anyone of you to enjoy the game by now. Although the third installment has some deep abilities and such. I may be playing second banana, but it's still instant results. Back in 2010, Valhalla Knights 2 was released and since 3 years, the third one was finally released. It was barely a long time, fans, and my RPG tastes are a hit. As for the review about it, I'll cover everything on what Valhalla Knights 3 has to offer. Although I don't have enough money to buy previous installments by the PSP on the PlayStation Store, so I figured that I'm gonna enjoy it as well!

Kingdom Hearts Rundown

Not only I get to play 1.5 Remix soon, I have found something productive that I'm gonna write a rundown about Kingdom Hearts, an RPG game where Square and Disney characters join forces for a parodic and obvious fun. The first Kingdom Hearts game was released for the PS2, which is many years ago. Although you may not experience it, but Kingdom Hearts has some aspects on the Final Fantasy series, as well as Magic and stuff. Disney's characters join well with the characters on Square. Unlike the Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts has a Gummi Ship, a flying object that can take them on a parodic journey. Its gameplay is different than Final Fantasy because during battle, the command list turns red and when outside of battle, the command list turns blue. It has that similar feature from the .hack// series for the PS2, but different.

In the first game, Sora, the main character of Kingdom Hearts, uses a Keyblade as a weapon for the first time and it's capable of lighting the darkness and to make everyone happy once and for all. On Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, you don't get to play as just Sora, but Riku as well. Below is a list of Kingdom Hearts games so far.

Kingdom Hearts games:

Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)
Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories (PS2)
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (GBA)
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (PSP)
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (DS)
Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded (DS)
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (3DS)
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5/2.5 Remix (PS3)
Kingdom Hearts III (Xbox One and PS4)

These are the Kingdom Hearts games that are announced so far above. If you're a big fan of Kingdom Hearts, then you should have known about it by now while I conclude the Kingdom Hearts Rundown.
