The JRPG Report

Late last night under cover of darkness, Monark was revealed to the world. In a new trailer we see the upcoming JRPG from former Atlus employees that worked on SMT. It will release on October 14 in Japan and the west in 2022. Being the week before E3 I was glad to have something to talk about! We got a super hype filled new trailer for Kuro no Keseki featuring some familiar faces. Check our YouTube channel for both new trailers. Speaking of YouTube I hit 1000 subscribers yesterday so thank you so much for your support. Hopefully big things are coming in the future for this brand. I'm thankful you are a part of it. This is always one of our shortest podcasts of the year. We should have lots of excited things to talk about next week!

After a week "off" I'm back to tell you all about the stories you may have missed. We got a great look at Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin in its third trailer. Most importantly I learned it has a turn based battle system in addition to its awesome anime look. We also got a good look at the combat for Scarlet Nexus in two new videos. Its shaping up to be a big summer JRPG hit. Both those stories plus many smaller ones in this packed episode. Thanks for listening!!

I'm out of the office this week, enjoying a brief anniversary trip. So Dalton and myself recorded a fun conversation about the state of PC gaming in regards to JRPGs. We focus on Edge of Eternity, a promising JRPG that's been in early access for years but releasing in full in June and later this year for consoles. He's played the game for a few hours and will give his impressions. We also chat about his obcession with the Neptunia series and the upcoming ninja crossover action rpg game. Of course I take the chance to cry about Persona 4 Golden being on PC and not PS4 and Switch. I hope you enjoy this fun show and I'll be back with the news next week!

In a stunning announcement, Bandai Namco revealed Tales of Arise is indeed coming this year, on September 10th worldwide in fact. I was fully prepared to wait until next year, but we will have an amazing looking JRPG experience in our hands in a few months. I break down everything we learned from the trailers and gameplay, most I love but one thing I don't. Over 20 minutes of Tales fandom overflowing hype.

But that's not all we have. News about the Y's IX PC and Switch western release, today's release of NieR Replicant and the Atelier Mysterious Trilogy, and a new mobile game from the Fairy Tale creator. Plus much much more. Next week I'll be out of town but l hope you will enjoy a JRPG conversation between Dalton and myself. I'll catch up on all the news in two weeks!
