happy new time chaps tkn here back with part two of the december jrpg information summary we start with the falcon word and a thank you to hansgay as ever for making this stuff known to us there’s not much to say in comparison to the last video where we had the shareholder converge but there were a few cool things that caught my see leading up to the holidays these b2 tapestries for instance from curtin dimashi peculiarity the heroines from kurono kaseki i’ve had a look at the link there are spoilers for some returning reputations but if you’ve already seen the kuro trailers then there’s nothing there that will shock you i will put out the caution though that if you scroll further down you’ll see some spoilers for routes into daydream on top of that there are some acrylic stands on the dengeki supermarket in addition to the keychains that were mentioned two months ago and a brand-new year’s wallpaper was also released by neon falcon themselves depicting van elaine and renee for both pc and your phones as for kuro itself it’s now on sale cutting the original rate by 40 on the playstation japan store up till the 7th of january performing it 4950 yen to obtain so if you have the means to do so it might be worth picking this up in preparation for the spreadsheet i will too say that there was an interview seeing kuro and its sequel that hansgay has picked apart for us but other than a go gleam i have not looked at this at all simply because i’m avoiding spoilers until i can play kuro myself i’ll attach it in the description but i will give you the spoiler advising in advance now on to the general jrpg news and in the first region we’ll begin with square enix let’s kick off with the obvious fib and arguably the most difficult final fantasy 16 as i’m sure many are aware by now has been delayed by around six months as communicated by yoship and addressed the followers with new information hopefully being released in spring of 2022 this has predominantly been put down to the consequences of kovid and the effects it has had on communication between makes and the prime tokyo bureau now even before this delay there was nothing official from square in regards to a handout year there were unsubstantiated rumors territory it was due out in june 2022 but certainly message has been scarce when concerning a freeing window and now with this delay in mind i’d be surprised to see this coming out in 2022 so far the only things we have are some acceptances of milestones realise within development for example back at the tokyo game show in october yoshi p used to say that the game merely had a few quality improvements left reputation modelings had been finalized and the central situation was complete but good-for-nothing more has been said beyond that as for the lag itself i’m not too surprised that it happens if you consider the current situation and it’s good that now kiyoshita has come out himself to be as transparent as possible in regards to shining light on the blooming cycle specific to final fiction 16 and along with his excellent handling as head of final delusion xiv it’s a good insight as to why there is a reciprocated goodwill between him and the fanbase he takes it on the chin doesn’t decry or blame anyone he just simply takes responsibility and says it how it is rather than trying to fool the follower basi which unfortunately is a method that some business use all too often to avoid backlash the actions of the man here are deserving of respect and hopefully in spring next year we’ll get an update another competition that suffered a delay was the much-anticipated pixel remaster of final delusion vi the game that is due out on android ios and steam was also held back for similar reasons as final delusion 16 as square have stated they require more time to apply polish to the title before its release which will now occur in february 2022 now something of note for those who were fortunate to get a ps5 for christmas if you bought final fiction 7 remake via playstation plus then you’ll get a free upgrade to the ps5 version though you won’t get the extra episode in lull you will have to pay for that it was 25 percent off at the time of writing of the post though i’m not specific if that’s still there as of the time of writing of this video’s liberation stranger of paradise final imagination descent due out in rally likewise got a few delicacies along with a brand-new trailer the box art has been shown for the first time and those who pre-order from best buy get themselves a steel dispute as well additionally as part of an anniversary live stream on the 18 th of december this jack garland chassis via gambling artistries kai was uncovered and has a 2022 release opening now moving away from final fantasize let’s start with bravely default 2 and its sales illustrations the compounded digital and physical gangs sold as of its liberate 10 months prior had smacked 1 million on december the 21 st a noticeable milestone there there’s been some information as well in regards to a couple of soundtracks that are due to go on sale with triangle policies due out on the 9th of procession 2022 it comes with 4 cds and will cost 35 unfortunately for us europeans the eu store doesn’t have the option to pre-order more and then there’s also a choir arrangement album for near replicants due out on parade the 2nd 2022 you can purchase this from the na square annex store for 33 where you’ll get a mini cloth poster as a pre-order bonus it comes with 10 moves total closing out to the merchandise relate square titles let’s now prance to kingdom middles around october duration the same period when sora was announced as the last character for knock eventual there was a video showcasing merchandise as part of the series 20 th commemoration and one of those adhered to the developments of some suitcases well they have now gone up for pre-order and they’re due out in june 2022 though they’re only available to ordering off the japanese square enix store at the moment they’re themed after sora riku kairi mickey and axel and they are definitely priced for a pretty penny as they approximately convert to about 430 pounds or 500 but if you’ve got the means of buying one and you’re hopeful for perimeters opening hours in 2022 then there you go now finally the last story we will talk about in regards to square was liberated yesterday but i thought i’d include it here despite occurring in january because it’s fairly alarming and represents a real sense of fraction between the company and the musician locate itself when you consider the language used in the president’s brand-new year theme to followers square enix have uttered their desire to enter the nft opening acting upon their statements made around a month ago now i won’t go into depth as to what an nft or non-fungible token is because it’s not really the focus of the video but they’re effectively a acknowledgment of possession stored under the blockchain which in of itself acts as a type of decentralized digital ledger that authenticates the deal a transaction that everyone can see on a peer-to-peer network because of the past history of exchange that contributes to the eventual significance given to a specific nft it’s decided by simple supply and necessitate let’s look at ubisoft’s recent advertisement in ubisoft quartz to see an example as to how it’s applied in the gaming opening through that arrangement cosmetics are packaged into their own nfts announced toes and they will be unique with their own serial numbers through blockchain they are able to likewise house their own history of transactions which are able sold between users so the idea is that you can customize your attribute however you miss no one else will have your look and they presumably in future will be transferable between competitions in the same eco space so for example you can take your nft cosmetics from say haunt recon to assassin’s creed their own problems with nfts though at least in my memory is that they are a hollow addition to gaming they furnish no imaginable benefit to the players there’s simply another way to make money on top of live service loot boxes and in-game marketplaces let’s look at that ubisoft quartz example once again you can buy digits as nfts which will give you a unique looking well we already have that it’s called person customization and it’s existed for years also why do we need nfts for something as simple as cosmetics which can easily be housed on a dedicated database why do we need to use blockchain which eats a metric ton of electricity per hour equal to some countries even which assuredly bolt over the environmental issues the ambiguity is that you’re effectively paying for nothing a string of digital system for the purposes of an readily replicated compounding of pixels but it has very real ramifications for the world itself and then when does it cease because you know corporations will propagandize this cult even more let’s say for example nfts god forbid make their way into final fantasy 14 in the way of unique cosmetics or prepares taking the cosmetics as two examples how long will it be until said nfts start to have in-game helps like the swelling pre-order bonuses that give you experience increases faster progression for your myriad of jobs meaning that if you don’t have these you are at a detriment and it quickly becomes a pay to win system or at least pay for convenience well we don’t even need to test it because we had it before in diablo 3′ s real money auction house and everyone hated it this is a real slippery slope a trend that square are trying to jump on but i’ll tell you this if the likes of ubisoft ea activision and peter molyneux are getting involved in this space then you know you should stay away hopefully it will simply fade in the future like 3d did in movies but to hear that square are seeing this as a business opportunity and yes that’s exactly what they called it in that address to followers it is worrying again it comes down to that divide between the players who just crave good competitions versus the executives and stockholders who are interested high-pitched returns i make look at some of the statements now advances in token economies is very likely to lend further impetu to this trend of diversification “i m seeing” the play to earn concept that has parties so excited as a prime example of this or my own personal favorite i see 2021 not only as metaverse time one but also as nfts time one given that it was a year in which nfts were met with a great deal of enthusiasm by a rapidly expanding user base certainly people are aroused about this not if the rate on the ubisoft quartz edict was anything to go by ubisoft had to literally unlist the video numerous people are against this they don’t want further monetization in these entitlements time make good activities numerous people see tournaments specially jrpgs with their rich nations and storytelling as an opportunity to escape a chance to get away from the boredom of lifetime that they have to contend with day in day out the last thing many will crave is for that dullnes to seep into their fantasy world do the right thing square and simply abandon this anyway now that that’s serious tales out of the way let’s go to something a little more droll to say the least and some minor goodies for other succession beginning with atelier which well this would only happen in japan so ryzer surely has some positive dissection i think it’s fair to say and naturally some stock concentrates on said helps hobby japan took that a step further putting up a fisa mouse pad for pre-order i’m not joking this is real and to add to this insanity it’s not cheap either it’s 29 800 yen which roughly is in accordance with about 200 pounds it’s more than what i spent on the figure in 2021 including shipping hey they must have a market for it though otherwise they wouldn’t placed it so high it’s got a pre-order window open till february the 3rd moving on to some other stuff from tails now that are a bit less risque of course posteriors celebrated its 25 th remembrance most recently and if you want to commemorate that you can buy yourself a commemorating glass and champagne for around 16 500 yen total you can also buy them separately 2750 for the glass and 13 750 for the champagne via encourage and they exhaust in progress 2022. On top of that they’re too working with you hoard a japanese jewellery company to bring us some narrations of aries themed necklaces with a pre-order window lasting until the 18 th of january they come in both silver and gold variances and they’re surely not cheap either ranging from 14 300 yen for some of the silver motifs to a hundred and ten thousand for the gold but if you like falsehoods of a rise or have a significant other who’s into it it could be a good knack potentially eventually you can get a digital copy of the falsehoods of a ryze cookbook so you can bring out your inner casara or xi’on will vary depending on your expertise and hold some of these a whirl n a followers will have to sign up for the newsletter while eu fans have to join something called the epic organization i didn’t check this myself because i am not great at cooking personally and i don’t want to be reminded of it either now we move on to dot hack gu last recode which we know from last-place video was due release on substitution in 2022 on the 22 nd of december they pictured the physical publication of the game noted as the begins volume which includes a manga hypothesi artistry a soundtrack and naturally the game itself so if you demand something a little extra for your collection there it is and sticking on board with the limitations of copies we revisit crystal which is due its permutation handout on march 29 2022 in standard species nis america put up the limited edition for the game for pre-order which is slightly different to the ps4 version but nonetheless still seems good as their restriction copies generally are it comes with a fabric poster an artistry bible a visual diary an acrylic stand a collector’s container some prowes placards and a soundtrack remaining stalkers of the time of preparation of sits between 26 and 50 on the na and eu locates now moving on to a supporter rendition for vivid arc 3. The original three tactical rpgs of this lesser known succession released after 2007 to 2009 for the nintendo ds with the most recent in light arc infinity exhausting in 2015. regrettably in the case of vehicles of shining arc 3 this only had a japanese release unlike the previous two names that had got the worldwide treatment over ten years ago so when a game is not easily accessible to the west a follower base will sometimes come together to do really that and on the 26 th of december a translation spot was released for the game nonetheless i will say that if you decide to use this spot go in with tempered possibilities as most of the translation was done via machine translators like dpel and google carry which unfortunately cannot pick up the subtlety inherent in the japanese language so if you’re going in expecting a translation on equivalence with say the geofront’s work on xero and azia or the upcoming patch for fictions of predestination then you’re probably not gonna get it here at the very least though you can play it and understand it to a certain degree and thank you to those who impelled it available now before we move on to our next large-scale division we revisit the saga series where back in the last video we were made aware of an upcoming activity for the purposes of the 2021 makes talk live stream well it looks like akitoshi kawasu the make of the first deed action back in 1989 has consolidated that knowledge further via a tweet made on the 31 st of december which was mostly a is thanks to fans in lieu of the upcoming new year’s revelries but in said tweet he buttressed the sketchy affirmations established previously by confirming that he and others are working on a remaster and a remaking in addition to the new game for the saga series of course again we don’t know much else about this as of hitherto some people are leaning towards wooing story for the potential remaster and the remaking to be unlimited story but of course these are unsubstantiated as of now so we will have to wait till 2022 to get more concrete information on what’s being developed and now before we move on to the upcoming exhausts and rumors let’s go over our last-place large-hearted slouse in regards to atlas so first of all if you’ve still got a 3ds you can get some rejected atlas entitlements on the cheap trash like smt4 and apocalypse to identify a pair in addition to providing that p5 strikers is going up for free on playstation plus for january 2022 starting on the fourth of the month in terms of merchandise not much to say here but smt5 has a soundtrack liberate via hmv japan for 4 400 yen due to release in parade 2022 it has 117 ways divide over 5 cds and will release both physically and digitally if you miss the physical form you’re gonna need a agent as ever concluding this section are the games and we’ll start with p4 arena ultimax we’ll maintain this brief though since actually this is a fighting game for avent members of the fighting game community this will be good news apparently atlas are considering rollback net code implementation which is considered to be extremely important for online romp long tale suddenly this aspect is a solution to latency and online play-act analyse each player’s input as if they were playing locally it’s not a excellent answer but it’s often requested by fighting game parishes particularly in the competitive scene and it’s only recently become the norm rather than the exception if realm ultimax is to potentially shoot off into its own competitive vistum then it would need something like this and moving back now to the jrpg side of things we got a little smidgen of info on the 27 th of december from shinjiro zakada who is the product administrator of atlas’s first innovative department via famitsu in that interview he stated that he ascertains 2022 as a challenge a challenge to release a game that he hopes will become a pillar for atlas move forward and from that statement some people acquired he might be talking about activity re-fantasy which was announced five years ago though of course we’re none the wiser based on this statement alone for all we know he could be talking about the multitude of other projects that atlas are working on too and maybe we’ll assure some of those in the upcoming 25 th remembrance days videos from february onwards to a couple of upcoming liberations now let’s start with relayer if you’ve seen the upcoming jrpgs video for 2022 that i secreted very recently you’ll know about this already the mecca located srpg is due a worldwide secrete on advance 24 th for ps4 and ps5 if you liked 13 pennies north aegis rim i intend who wouldn’t then this will probably be right up your alley moving to an act rpg now that is in early access lost epic got a new update to pique the appetite for its eventual full liberate in 2022 bring back two new world and some brand-new weaponry as you can see here it’s a side-scrolling arpg with a charming art attitude the same as the likes of fate magnificent order and azure corridor owing to the artist if you want to check it out in early access it’ll payment 15 and will give you around 10 hours of gameplay to see if it could possibly be for you and rounding us out will be some rumors hovering around we’ll start with hironobu sakaguchi who numerous are aware of the fact as the papa of final fantasize and some will recognize him from his most recent work in fantasia in an interview with four gamer he used to say that a make he’s been check an eye on this year was one of his old juniors in yasumi matsuno who he states work on a brand-new floor this is the same man who led and wrote the scenarios for the likes of final imagination tricks and homeless fib so there’s definitely a illustrious track record there in terms of more recent work he has worked in collaboration with his old company square enix in writing some of the outlines for mainline quest in final fantasize xiv stormblood and shadowbringers i’ll be keeping an attention on this to see if it proceeds anywhere and attaching with final fiction for this second and final rumor hajime tabata is reportedly due to announce a new jrpg entitlement in 2022 which follows on from his most recent criticisms where he stated that he was working on both an experimental multiplayer rpg and a more traditional large-scale rpg with a focus on exploration which he recently had begun to work on so we can assume this 2022 freeing is likely to be the former entitle for those unaware this is the man who guided the likes of crisis forces final delusion vii and final fantasy type zero but countless are aware of the fact him more prominently for his most recent excursion final myth xv where he left part way through the project to realize his own firm jp games in early 2019. i know some people may be apprehensive based on his role with final imagination xv but actually that’s a whole other kettle of fish that i’d rather not go over but all i’ll say is that it’ll be interesting to see what he can do now that he has full imaginative command away from square enix and to be fair i liked crisis core for what that’s worth and that is it guys part two of the december jrpg bulletin roundup is complete thank you all for your patronize during the year and here’s hoping 2022 is just as good glad new year and quietnes.
