Not a huge surprise but I'm glad nonetheless

With any luck this might be the first game I play of the series, should get a 3DS first.

Though, I would really love to see another album like the "Live Music by Piano and Strings" that the did a while back. To this day is pretty much my favorite video game music album thing ever (example).

I'm glad they're adding the more casual difficulty level.

I actually really like the character/class customization of the games, I just never get that far in them because I get frustrated with the pacing of the game.

I am about halfway through EOIII. Given I just beat Radiant Historia last night, I guess this announcement is saying I should go back and work on EOIII some more instead of moving on to a new game.

Hoping they finally get animated sprites, like was rumored since EO2(and actually happened in SMT: EO-... I mean Strange Journey).

Yep. Animated!

Wish the enemies were still 2D sprites, though. Oh well. I'm still going to love the game anyway.

Not long ago, I recently replayed and beaten the first game, and been playing the second one until Abyss came out. I am certainly stoked for this.

Soon...

^^^ Haha, I thought I was the only who noticed the similarity to Ragelope!

I wonder if you'll be able to fly around the dungeons you are about to explore or if it will be the same as with sailing in EO3. Would be cool if you had to fly in a balloon to reach a new stratum.

That would be really cool, and would add to the feeling of exploration that the game has. It would be a neat idea if you had to actually find the next stratum by flying the balloon around instead of just reaching the stairs at the end of the previous stratum.

Tales of the Abyss if you count the European release, but yeah that's it as far as I know.
