I will probably get Zelda and FFXII RW for DS, and the FFXI expansion for PC. I might try Heroes of Mana but currently I'm playing Children of Mana and it's kind of boring.

Heroes of Mana is a lot closer to Revenant Wings than Children of Mana. In fact, Heroes of Mana is *very* similar to Revenant Wings.
I've had my eye on Luminous Arc for a while. Jeanne d'Arc for PSP has been getting some really good buzz about it as well.
Good effort on the list and your opinions on major releases. You missed Persona 3 though.
There are some very strong rumors that this game will not be a 360 exclusive.Quote:

Blue Dragon and Zelda come out before/after Eternal Sonata, why not get Zelda?
Straight from the mouth of Peter Moore, Mass Effect is coming in November.
Yea!! I read the article, Mass Effect is moved to November(not January, previously it was scheduled in September, before that the first half of 2007).
Currently there are four huge rpg releases this fall...
Aug 28th Blue Dragon for Xbox 360
Oct 1st The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for Nintendo DS
Oct 30th? Lost Odyssey for Xbox 360
Nov 20th Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings for Nintendo DS
Lost Odyssey was confirmed for October and I believe it will probably be Oct 30th to space it out between Zelda and Final Fantasy because it's a huge groundbreaking title.
As far as Mass Effect goes, I am guessing that it will also come out on Nov 20th for Xbox 360. Remember Oblivion's first expansion pack came out for Xbox 360 the same time that Zelda came out for Wii in Late November. It's possible to do two huge rpg releases at once if the audiences are totally seperate.
I'm in the same audience as Mass Effect and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings! I'm getting both but FF XII: RW is my priority this fall.
Do you guys agree with my theory that Lost Odyssey will be out for Xbox 360 on October 30th and that Mass Effect will be out for Xbox 360 on November 20th?
I'm happy! I just saw some pictures of Lost Odyssey from E3 and they are great. I just can't believe how cool these two huge characters look in this picture, I'm in awe...

EDIT:
Super Mario Galaxy, which is for Wii and not a rpg, has been dated for November 12th, a week before FF XII: RW. I thought Super Mario Galaxy could get on Nov 20th, oh well, hehe! Mass Effect, maybe Nov 20th? Btw Super Smash Bros Brawl comes out Dec 3rd.
EDIT:
The Elder Scrolls IV: Game of the Year edition, which includes both expansion packs, comes out for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC on September 3rd. Also .hack//G.U. Vol.3: Redemption comes out on September 10th for Playstation 2. Fire Emblem: Goddess of the Dawn comes out on November 5th for Nintendo Wii. The release calendar is coming together! Now we just need an official release date for Lost Odyssey for Xbox 360, probably October 30th though, confirmed for October already.
What do you think? :)
I'm bumping this up because I want to talk about ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat. It's Mistwalker's third game, and it's a tactical rpg for Nintendo DS. It was announced to be in Usa in December, but that was a long time ago. Articles since then that I read say it's in Japan in December but don't announce a Usa release date. Do you guys think it will come out in Usa in December?
Mistwalker has 2 other games coming out in the US this year. I doubt we'll be seeing ASH in English anytime soon.
I wonder about this, because rpgamer.com said in an article that ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat would be out in Usa this year. As we are getting closer to the fall season the articles I see about the game just say a Japanese release date of December. Too bad about this.
Anybody else notice that there are a lot of tactical and real-time strategy rpg's coming out this fall?
Rts:
Heroes of Mana
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
Tactical:
Luminous Arc
Jeanne D'Arc
Final Fantasy Tactics
Disgaea
Front Mission 1st
Fire Emblem
*Tactical rpg probably not coming out in time for this year: ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat.
The major ones are Heroes of Mana, Fire Emblem, and FF XII: RW. The other games are remakes or not as important.
Which game will you posters get: Heroes of Mana, Fire Emblem, or FF XII: RW. I'll definetely get FF XII: RW, probably not Heroes of Mana(not enough time/interest probably), and definetely not Fire Emblem(No Wii, not enough time/interest also). I could get ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat later, who knows. I am not sure how good it will be yet. :D
EDIT:
Let's add a new game to the release calendar. Two Worlds for Xbox 360 and PC is delayed from July to August 14th, which is the same day that Heroes of Mana(major DS rts rpg release) and Luminous Arc(minor DS tactical rpg release) come out. Two Worlds is apparently similar to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Gothic 3, and Overlord. I'm not too knowledgeable about this game yet but it seems interesting.
Two Worlds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If I have a Xbox 360 by that time I will rent this game(and Heroes of Mana) as well. Gargh, too many great games come out in August and early September that are rpg's. I am playing Blue Dragon but I am also interested in Two Worlds, Heroes of Mana, Bioshock, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I am not too interested in Luminous Arc, Jeanne D'Arc, Dragoneer's Aria(the music/trailers are great though!), and Wild Arms: The Vth Vanguard but I need more info on that game.
This is the start of the Fall rpg release calendar. With Two Worlds moved later to Aug 14th, Aug 14th is a stronger release date and I will consider it to be the start of the Fall rpg season.
Aug 14th - Two Worlds(Xbox 360, PC), Heroes of Mana(DS), Luminous Arc(DS)
Aug 21st - Bioshock(Xbox 360, PC), Jeanne D'Arc(PSP), Dragoneer's Aria(PSP)
Aug 28th - Blue Dragon(Xbox 360), Wild Arms: The Vth Vanguard
Sep 3rd - The Elder Scrolls IV: Game of the Year Edition(Xbox 360, PC, PS 3)
Which games of those 9 that I listed for the start of the Fall 2007 Rpg Release Calendar will you buy? I'm confirmed to buy Blue Dragon but I'm also interested in Two Worlds, Heroes of Mana, Bioshock, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Game of the Year Edition. Please list your choices! :)
It rubs me the wrong way every time you say that. Just because it's not from an already established series doesn't mean it's 'less important'. In fact, I'd think new, good games are 'more important' than established ones.Quote:

It has been getting some very positive reviews from various Japanese and import sources (here's one) and looks to be something a PSP-owning RPG fan should buy. It looks pretty awesome to me.
I understand it's your opinion, but don't write 'em off just like that. It's pretty obvious for a site like this that folks will gravitate to the Squenix stuff, so it's not necessary to direct attention to those games in these kinds of topics. People will get them anyway.
By less important I mean I don't believe it will sell as well as the other ones. At the time of posting that post I had my opinions on the probable popularities of the titles, so I posted them.
Jeanne D'Arc I'm kinda interested in but I didn't list it in part because I don't think as many people are mentioning it, along with Luminous Arc.
Yea Jeanne D'Arc and Luminous Arc could sell enough and be popular enough to be in my "important" category, but when I made the thread I didn't add them in it based on my current knowledge.
Hopefully that clears it up.
