Persona 5 is definitely expected! <3

FFVII? Not so sure, it's like an action game now, although it does look good.

I didn't expect Persona 5 to look that good! That's another must-have, and if it's half as good as Persona 4 Golden, it'll be incredible…

Other than FF7, I can't say I have much interest in anything on that list. It doesn't help that half of them are for the Nintendo 3DS.

Etrian Oddyssey 5, Ni No Kuni 2, Persona 5, Kingdom Hearts 3, Nier 2, Fire Emblem. Lots of good games here to look forward to. The video sounds more like a commercial though.

A game not mentioned in the video, which I am eager to see, is Rainbow Skies (sequel to Rainbow Moon for PS3). It's a pity that Rainbow Skies, initially targeted for PS3, will now be released only on PS4 (I don't own a PS4 ).

This whole "New 3DS" crap really irks me, you know? I just got a 3DS a couple years ago. If Nintendo wants to release a new handheld, they could have at least called it something completely different. It's not enough to keep some people from going out and getting games like Xenogears and then wondering why they won't work. It took Couch and Fluent to save me from that blunder. The advertising is kind of ambiguous.

And really, the way I see it, the Vita is still where it's at for JRPG's, old or new. It's definitely got the better selection. 3DS has some amazing JRPG's, but Vita's got more.

And hey, more and more are being released on PC now, so…

I can play PC, regular DS, PS2, PS1, etc. All on my tablet. I may pick up some of these handheld devices, though. Lots of good stuff in this video.

If I'm right the video covers console titles as most wanted.
Me? Most wanted is everything - on PC.
Properly ported. I don't want to see another Neptunia.

mediocre cheap copy/paste for 95%…. as 99% of jrpg`s!

You mean the original Xenogears for PS1? Did they remake that on 3DS? If so, I might check it out via emulator.

I've never been a fan of handheld systems though, and I hate it when they release a sequel to something I like on one of them. i.e. Metroid titles on Gameboy Advance, etc.

As far as recent JRPGs though, Xenoblade Chronicles X is the only one that's really caught my eye. I'm almost tempted to get a Wii U just to check it out.

Xenoblade Chronicles X does look amazing. If you do get the Wii U and try it, you'll have to come on here and tell us how you like it. I'm desperately curious…

And yeah, it's called Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. I think it's a remake of the one for Wii? The reason I was griping is that it'll only work for the "New" 3DS XL. So it won't work on the "old" 3DS. >.>
