Massively multiplayer online RPG (MMORPG) Final Fantasy XIV will include a fatigue system that will prevent players from gaming into the long hours of the night. This new system will force players to play for a shorter period of time, allowing casual players to be on par with hardcore gamers. It will provide full experience for only eight hours a week. Once the eight hours are done, the amount of experience gained will decrease over seven hours. After that, the player will not gain any additional experience. The idea of playing an MMORPG for only eight hours a week may turn fans away from Final Fantasy XIV.
Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai or My Little Sister Can't be This Cute is making its way from the pages of a light novel to the Playstation Portable as a visual novel. It will use a special new visual technology called Live2D that will make interacting with different characters a new and interesting experience.
Namco Bandai has just released new details on the fan service-filled experience, Tales of World Radiant Mythology 3 for the Playstation Portable (PSP). Players will have the opportunity to play with over 80 characters from across the entire Tales Series, which is sure to make Tales fans salivate endlessly.
Prepare for endless grinding on the go with Final Fantasy Legends: Hikari to Yami no Senshi (Warriors of Light and Darkness), set to be released September 6. The game will arrive on Japanese mobile phones that are supported by Square-Enix. Not to be confused with the Final Fantasy Legend series on the Gameboy from the 90's, Warriors of Light and Darkness is an all-new 32-bit adventure.
Atlus has announced Catherine, a new game from the team that developed both Persona 3 and 4. Sadly, Catherine isn't the new RPG that fans have been hoping for. Instead, it's a new action-adventure game with horror and mature themes. Catherine is directed by Persona 4's Katsura Hashino and will feature character designs from Shigenori Soejima.
UPDATE: New, clean pictures included.
With three different interations of the game already released, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 has landed on Japanese cell phones as Persona 3 Social. The game marks the series' first multiplayer title, bringing a whole new dimension of gameplay. Using the Mobage-town, which is a Japanese social network service for mobile phones, players can accomplish various quest, defeat evil shadows, and of course, collect personas.
While the game will be free to play, Atlus will support the game's network with the inclusion of various micro transactions, such as purchasing in-game items; no further information has been released. Players can probably expect to see special weapons or personas for sale. Although the game is not likely to be released in the United States, fans can still pray.
