Some Dragon Quest titles
Today Square Enix had a livestream where they where going to announce their next mainline Dragon Quest game. And the announced game was Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo 3DS. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that both versions find their ways overseas. Here is what they showed of the PlayStation 4 version.
From what I see the game looks fabulous! Can’t wait to see more and hopefully they’ll show combat next time. Here is the video shown for the Nintendo 3DS version.
Looks pretty promising too. I like the SNES inspired parts of the game, so I might just have to buy both if they release them in the west. They also announced that Dragon Quest X (the online game) is getting a PS4 port, so we’ll see if that makes it over. But according to “Verendus” of NeoGaf fame all Dragon Quest games announced for PlayStation 4 are coming over. Let’s hope his information is correct. I’ve been somewhat open in the past to what I think of MMO games, but if Dragon Quest X came over I’d be willing to try that.
Square Enix also showed a gameplay trailer for Dragon Quest Builders, that seems to be a Minecraft clone more or less, if my understanding is right. Never played Minecraft so I don’t really know, but it looks somewhat fun. A great time to be a Dragon Quest fan right now, Square Enix is giving the series a lot of love. Hopefully they’ll share that love with us in the west.

Pain and games
For the past week I’ve been in pain, not excruciating pain but enough to get me of balance completely. It seems like I have a small kidney stone, but since yesterday it seems like the pain is finally disappearing. Keeping my fingers crossed, I haven’t felt much today. So hopefully it came out naturally, hopefully this doesn’t jinx it…
So I definitely understand those who have to deal with larger kidney stones, that they most be in some fierce ache. Brr. Hope I don’t ever get this again.
So for now I’m alive and well and it feels good to have had the whole Sunday, without any pain. So I hope it will continue like this.
Other than being in pain not much has happened, since I haven’t really been in the mood for anything. But yesterday I started The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, me trying a WRPG. Let’s see how this goes, but so far it is actually pretty okay. We’ll see if it last though the whole game or if I quit if I don’t like it. I might put it in the shelf either way if Onechanbara Z2 chaos arrives next week, I only focus at one game at a time. The environments in Witcher 3 are phenomenal, it really beautiful. Finally got around to preorder Tales of Zestiria too, can hardly wait until October now. I want this game now!
I’ve seen Ant-man and I like it a lot. A fun movie, without a doubt my favorite movie with Paul Rudd. One of the better movies I’ve watched in some time I might say, or rather that entertained me. Now I’m waiting for all the goodie comic book movies of 2016 to have their premiers, next year will be a wonder year for comic book movie fans. Looking forward to it.
I’ve also check out a new apartment, it felt new, it felt fresh and it’s close to just about everything. I really hope I get it. Hopefully I get an answer early August if I get it, then I need to really keep a tight lid on any cash I have. Moving is not cheap, with all extra costs here and there. But in the long run I’m positive it is worth it.

Beaten games 2015: Part 1
So I thought I was going to make a little list of the games I’ve beaten so far this year and write a little something about them. I will list ten games on this list at a time, that way the list won’t be to long and I can perhaps write a little more about certain games, not sure I will though since this, will just reflect some simple thoughts about the games. If anyone wants to know more of what I think of a game, I can write in the comments. The dates by the name is the date I beat the game.
01: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition [ 2015-01-01 ]
I was never a fan of the original Tomb Rider series, but this rebooted series really clicked with me. So much that I had finished the last gen version of this game and I had to play the current gen version too. I don’t replay games that often, but this was so good. A great way to start the year.
02: Tales of Symphonia Dawn of The New World HD [ 2015-01-10 ]
In my opinion it is a much weaker game than its predecessor, but I don’t think it’s flat out bad as so many others do. I had fun with the game, Martha is great!
03: The Wolf Among Us [ 2015-01-15 ]
Bigsby is one cool wolf. I really liked the story in this game, it might not have been anything special but it was fun seeing fairytale creatures hide in our world like regular humans.
04: Super Princess Peach [ 2015-02-01 ]
Move over Mario! It’s time for Peach to kick some butt! And she sure kicked it hard. A pretty typical Mario platformer game, really nice to see Peach being the star and not being kidnapped for once.
05: Transistor [ 2015-02-22 ]
I’ve heard people say so many great thing about this game, so of course I had to try it. But I honestly don’t see why people like this game. I didn’t really enjoy it while I was playing and wanted it mostly to end, sorry folks. This was the first disappointment of the year for me..
06: Wolfenstein: The New Order [ 2015-03-08 ]
Those who might have read what I’ve written before, know I’m not a fan of FPS but I got this one recommend from a friend who also didn’t like FPS. I must say I was really surprised! I had a blast with this game, it was fun and it was pretty nice to play something else than only JRPGs. A breath of fresh air for me.
07: Wild Arms 5 [ 2015-03-22 ]
And speaking about playing only JRPG’s… I wanted to finish this game for sometime and when I did I felt a bit empty, the game starts out great but I think it slowly goes downhill from there. Don’t get me wrong it is a good game, it just didn’t reach all the way to the end for me. Still hope we’ll see a Wild Arms 6 one day.
08: Saints Row: Gat out of Hell [ 2015-03-23 ]
Chaos, mayhem and destruction. A few words to describe the Saints Row series as of late, Gat out of Hell was short, very, very short. But it game some enjoyment, like punching Satan right in the face.
09: Metroid: Zero Mission [ 2015-04-03 ]
This was actually my very first Metroid game and I really liked it. It was enjoyable from start to finish, well the Zero Mission part was a bit frustrating, but enjoyable. We’ll see if I’ll ever finish Metroid Fusion.
10: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD [ 2015-04-04 ]
Me and my pal played thought the entire game together, it was really fun I must say. This was also my very first time clearing the game, I sadly lost all interest in the original when it came to gather the Triforce pieces. I am a bit ashamed of that, but at least I finished it, this time around

First Tales of Berseria trailer
So we’ve finally have a trailer for the newest Tales of game, Tales of Berseria. While it is not confirmed for a western release, I do hope Bandai Namco keeps up with their good work of releasing Tales of games in the west.
I like what I see, even if what we see isn’t much. But I already want the game, I want it bad!! So just as usual with Tales of games. I’m looking forward to a longer trailer and to see some better artwork of Velvet and hopefully we’ll see some of her companions soon. Damn, I really wish it could be October now. I really, really want to play Tales of Zestiria now.. Good things come to those who wait. Or so they say.

Tales of Zestiria is coming to PS4!!
Bandai Namco has finally announced both a PlayStation 4 version and a PC version of the upcoming JRPG, Tales of Zestiria. This is one badly kept secret, but I’m glad Bandai Namco has confirmed what just about everyone knew. You can read a bit more on it on the PlayStation blog you can read it on the new Tales of blog.
The release date for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 version is October 16 for Europe and the PC and US version will be released on the 20th October.
So I’ll be getting Tales of Zestiria as an early birthday present to myself, man I’m looking forward to this! So hyped right now! I’m just glad we finally have a release date! This is without my most sought after game this year, together with Batman: Arkham Knight. But October will be an expensive month… Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection and Dragon Quest Heroes are released in that month too. Hopefully I can afford everything. The JRPG’s are the most important to get or an IP that has ties to an JRPG.

Tales of Berseria is announced!
So Bandai Namco has announced the newest Tales of game, its Tales of Berseria! It will be released for PS3 and PS4. Hopefully we’ll also be getting this title in the west. The game will feature character design by Mustsumi Inomata (Tales of Graces ƒ, Tales of Hearts R and more). The game will feature a female protagonist, who seems to be a pirate named Velvet. Right now more info is pretty scarce, but we know Ufotable is doing the animations again. So they will at least be of high quality and here is a bad picture of Velvet, but hopefully we’ll be getting better artwork pictures later.

So we are getting Star Ocean 5
Not a lot of stuff has happened in the past weeks, not more than I was sick last weekend and couldn’t do anything that weekend. Which really pissed me off! It was such a big waste, just lying in bed and not having the strength of energy to do anything. Felt like I was dying, but thankfully it is better now.
But I got a big surprise what really made me happy. We are getting a new Star Ocean game!
Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. Hopefully it will get a western localization conformation sooner rather than later. Man I’m pumped for this game. They are going to have the dude who wrote the story for Star Ocean 1-3 do this story too, so hopefully that means the game will feel a bit less “anime” in style as Star Ocean 4 did. I’m very hopeful for this title, it became one of my most sought after games now. Man I just love that we are getting new JRPG’s. And Square Enix says they have more to release on PlayStation 4, so I can’t wait to see what they bring. Perhaps Final Fantasy XII HD? Hopefully more new titles too, well I’ll leave you with some images.
