Here's a new Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines trailer. I'm looking forward to this one. The game releases in Japan in a couple weeks (with a pretty nice LE). I haven't heard any news on a more solid NA release date though.

Fairy Fencer F LE just announced:

Fortunately, they made it easy for me to pass on it since I can't afford anything else this Fall anyway.  But I know disgaeniac will get 7 of them.  :P

The hat is kinda useless - it's "bib that came with Sorcery Saga" useless, but at least that was a cheap LE.  Since I know their soundtracks are pretty much always "selections" with just a few songs & the artbooks are small, I just don't see $25 worth of extra value there for me.  Bummed that they haven't done anymore Nendoroids since Witch & the Hundred Knight. 

Then again, as I said - for me this is actually a good thing, because it's one less game I have to worry about making room in the gaming budget for.  ;)

It may be a wee bit expensive, but it's a far better LE than Disgaea 4 on the Vita. A poster, 3 cheap keychains, and a cleaning cloth, laaaame. That said, I'll probably end up getting it anyways. ::) Besides, it's not like I ever do anything with the stuff in LEs, I just open it up for the game, maybe take the stuff out once to look at them, and then put it back to keep it in perfect condition. (since unlike a certain someone, I don't have the money to buy several copies of every LE I want :P)

Who would that be?   ???  :P

I'm not getting Disgaea either, same reason.  I like something I can display, that's why I like the Nendoroids.  It's promising that Tales of Xillia 2 CE still seems to be in stock everywhere, I'm hoping that means it's somewhat overproduced and I can end up getting a deal on it after it releases.  I really like the statue in that one, it would look great w/ the statue that came with the original Xillia CE, but $130 is too rich for my blood.

Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate has been announced for a western release. September 2nd for NA, and the 5th for EU. It will be released on the PS3, PS4, PS Vita, and the Xbone. Unfortunately, the PS4 and Xbone versions are the only ones which will receive a physical release. :'( Cross-play and cross-save functionality will be supported across all 3 of Sony's platforms.

PS4 is getting a physical release?  That works for me!  ;D

Sega announced that Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2 (3DS) will be coming to NA some time this year as Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Remix (which is actually an enhanced version of Mirai 2). No word on whether it will be digital only or physical yet. Physical is fairly likely though, given that Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd is supposed to see a physical release in NA later this year.

Aww yeah! I'm so happy that Sega is giving us a few of these  ;D I really hope Project Mirai will be physical like the others.

Thanks, added it along with Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate.  :)

EDIT:  Also just added the release date to Ar nosurge - 9/23. Same day as Fairy Fencer F, and one week after Natural Doctrine.  :o

I don't know how you guys keep up with all this stuff! This really seems like a really good time to be a JRPG gamer. Glad I haven't jumped in yet as I imagine I'd go broke very quickly lol.
