So Square-Enix announced a mysterious title called, "Project Setsuna" a long time ago and now it's known as "Ikenie to Yuki no Setsuna [Setsuna of Sacrifice and Snow]" or "I Am Setsuna" in the West. Most people got a Chrono Trigger vibe from all the footage that got released. It might be from an unknown studio called Tokyo RPG Factory but...

Tri-Ace games have been a mixed experience for me. I didn't like Star Ocean 4 for its stiff animation and bland battle system but, I did enjoy Resonance of Fate so I decided to try Exist Archive. So, a group of gifted teenagers who possess certain talents are caught up in an accident one day and find themselves on another planet. The AI...

I used to be a PC gamer but as my interest grew in Japanese exclusive Anime and games and, I started to have a proper income I moved to console gaming. Internet made it easy to import games and...

And you can find the official press release in PDF here. It was pretty much expected if you've played the game. Falcom pretty much did what they did to Sora no Kiseki (Trails in the Sky) to "Sen no Kiseki (Trails in a Flash)" too - leave a big cliffhanger for players. However, it's good news we're getting more of the same because Falcom...

Rain (not to be confused with Heavy Rain) was a PS3 exclusive, download only game that caught my attention when I saw some news coverage of it on Japanese and Western sites alike.

Looks and plays much better than the PSP game which only let you...
