Breath of Fire 6 announced

[Dice]

The BoFV soundtrack is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time. It's definitely incredible and is overlooked because of how much of an oddball BoFV was in the series. Personally, I thought it was a fantastic game.

I think IV and V were really great music-wise.  I loved the jazz in III but it's one of those OSTs that has just as many dogscrap tracks as there are good ones.

you know crapcom could pull the ultimate troll and buy Atlus ......I'll go jump in  the fire for even suggesting that.

You don't have to worry, it looks like Sega's gonna beat them to it....

Somehow, that's equally bad.

At least Capcom brings most of its titles to non jp regions. Sega has a habit of simply saying fuck the west now.

All of the options are looking pretty bleak, to be honest. It's one of those lesser evil things.

I saw something that was saying Kadokawa games (the japanese publishers of such games as Killer is Dead and Stein's Gate) would be the best choice. They don't have a North American branch, but they apparently want one, and they are apparently doing really well.

Kadokawa?  Who thinks that's a good idea?  Kadokawa is a big media conglomerate that only recently got involved in games at all.  And I'm pretty sure even that's only in a publishing capacity.  I don't think they own a single development studio.  And a lot of what they have published was just ports and stuff (like your example of Steins;Gate), meaning they had no involvement in the original development process even in a supervisory role.  Why would anyone want them to have Atlus all of the sudden?

And they've always been Japan-centric.  You say that hey want a North American branch, but it's not like they've ever really pushed any of their non-game stuff in North America, which is most of their business.  So it's weird that they would want a North American branch just for games, especially when most of the games they've published have been the sort of anime spin-off titles that never leave Japan anyway...

Besides, we all know if they got their hands on Atlus, they would force them to make games focusing on Japanese Highschoolers in Japanese Highschools getting all up in supernatural shenanigans all the while performing various social studies like forming bonds with the female student body or dating them.

Fixed that for you.

Am I the only one who would love to use Sonic as a demon? He looks nothing like a hedgehog, maybe that is his secret backstory!

After offering a lot of Macca to him, he would taunt you and run away to buy chili dogs.

Hell no. Seriously.

I would use Sonic in a heartbeat. Probably faster than that. HAR HAR HAR.

Since this isn't a game worth multiple topics, I might as well reuse this one, even though its been nearly 1 and 3/4 years since the last post.

I don't know what's crazier, the fact that we're actually starting to hear about this nearly two years of total silence or the fact that the plot synopsis is basically straight out of the old school BoF playbook (i.e. reference the plot of the first game and totally ignore everything else).

It's probably still Mobile trash but it sounds like the devs at Capcom might have given this one a little thought this time (that or I need to put on my 'Genre Glasses').

[Hathen]

There is a decent bit on the official site if you want to poke around on it. I will agree that it seems like there's some actual effort being put into the game as far as a mobile game is concerned, but that alongside the fact that its multiplayer almost guarantees it won't come to the West. The Mobile market for games is very different in Japan.

Some random things I can say:
-The premise is a pretty obvious setup for the type of game it is (You're fighting an evil empire). While the site claims the game will have story missions it'll probably be dripfed- a lot like an MMO basically.
-The main character is created (so again, like an MMO), so there's no actual blue-haired Ryu-equivalent in this game
-I actually think the art itself for the game is quite nice (still prefer the other 5 games though), but I hate the types of sprites they went with. Don't understand the obsession mobile games have with that style.
-Your main character can change classes as he grows
-The site advises you to synergize your skills with the people you party with, but obviously you can't really tell if that's just a flavor thing you can choose to ignore or something you'll have to do to win
