    Is there no physical release for Strange Journey in the EU?

    It is on Amazon.

    Weird, their offical site had no links to EU stuff but had EU dates so got confused.
    Do you think it'll be well stocked? I'm going away for the weekend so didn't want to order it yet.

    I'd be surprised if it was well stocked since its being distributed by koch. All the Atlus 3DS games they've published so far have been low print runs as far as I can tell. Though I feel like 7th Dragon might have gotten a second printing since I was able to pick up a copy cheap a good while after release.

    Actually got a copy on Monday after I got home phew, was worried though.
    It was £30 I think

    Code Vein is coming out on the 28th of September, Dragon Quest 11 is out on the 4th so it should be a good month.

    Liking the look of Code Vein. Everyone was expecting it to be a DS style game, looks more like Dragons Dogma to me which isn't a bad thing.

    Speaking of Dragons Dogma, Capcom extended the elusive Deep Down trademark again last week.

    It looks like Tales Of Vesperia is going to get a remaster for its 10th anniversary, probably my favorite entry in the series.

    Hopefully it comes westward, might be some difficulty seeing as it would be the PS3 version which would require additional translation and voice work.

    Never played it. Came out around the same time as all those 360 RPGs that were in retrospect bad.

    Is it really worth a play?

    I've played and finished Symphonia and really enjoyed it but I feel like now I've pretty much played every game in the series if you know what it mean?

    If you can deal with the usual tales problems its probably worth trying? It still has all the usual tales problems.

    I know what you mean about playing one and playing them all, but Vesperia hands down has the best story, cast of characters and soundtrack of all the games, there is a deepness to the game that others have struggled to match before or since.

    Had to borrow a friends 360 to play it, so looking forward hopefully to a western release on the PS4 or PC.

    Vesperia is about on par with Xillia and Berseria, if you didnt feel the need to play those, you wont feel the need to play this


    I like Xillia best because every Tales plot is a false dilemma
    Vesperia = law or freedom
    Xillia = kill people to save other people
    Berseria = Logic vs emotion

    but Xillia is the only one where the protagonist actually goes "hey this is stupid, lets try and find a way that works for everyone."

    Should be on PS4 anyway, it's not an exclusive.

    Nice rundown of the 8 characters.

    Also new demo coming later in the week, looks like it has the first chapter of all 8 stories.

    Seems the Switch port of Ys VIII still has translation issues.
