TGS 2013 – Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Hands-on Preview

By Janelle | September 19, 2013 at 12:00 pm

If you clicked this link expecting a detailed play-by-play of the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster demo, sorry. In true, half-assed RPGLand fashion, I will come out and say that there isn’t much to say. It’s Final Fantasy X. In HD. The end. I played X during my crack at the demo, but I also watched someone play the X-2 demo while I waited in line, and can say that that also sure was Final Fantasy X-2, in HD. The 3 main girls were obviously more detailed than side characters and enemies, and seeing them together was a little weird, like they were from different games, but that might have been just the fact that I was a few feet further from the screen than I would have been, were I at home.

Since there isn’t much to say, that means it’s some good ol’fashioned Graphical Nitpicking Time!

TGS 2013 – Maple Story: Unmei no Shoujo Hands-on Preview

By Janelle | September 19, 2013 at 11:55 am

Originally a Korean exclusive, MapleStory: Unmei no Shoujo is being brought to Japan in 2014 by Sega. This is the second portable take on MapleStory, a cutesy platforming MMORPG by Wizet that’s been running in some form for over a decade now. From the looks of the demo, MapleStory: Unmei no Shoujo does a good job of translating the gameplay elements of the MMO into an easy-to-play portable adventure.

Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky sequel coming to PSP, PC in 2014

By Heath | September 7, 2013 at 11:36 am

Xseed wanted the localization of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter just as badly as you did, but the sheer size of the project caused inevitable slowdown. The stars are now aligned, however, and the company has announced that the sequel to the Nihon Falcom hit The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky will finally arrive in North America next year. It will do so exclusively as a downloadable game; on the PSP and PSV by way of the PlayStation Network and on the PC via Steam. PC gamers who haven’t played the PSP-exclusive (well, PSP exclusive in North America) first installment of the Trails in the Sky trilogy will be able to do so without a PSP this winter, when the original also arrives on Steam. Exact release dates are not yet announced, but we’ll keep you updated.
