Quantcast



3D Dot Game Heroes is out in May and we're really, really looking forward to it. Anybody who isn't looking forward to it is a witch, and should be burned as such. Atlus has today released a new trailer, informing us that its game boasts the most interesting character in 3D. The video is absurd. That's a good thing. 

Check it out above and let us know if you're excited for 3D Dot Game Heroes. I know I can't wait. I could do with playing a good Japanese RPG.

Can't wait for that FF XIII review.

I really look forward to this too! =)

Also, "I could do with playing a good Japanese RPG." isn't gonna draw the fury of the fans of a certain recently-released JRPG. Looking forward to it. /popcorn

This looks pretty great to me too and even if Zelda doesn't come out this year this would still be a more than worthy 'sequel' for it.

Also, did nobody else get the reference to the Dos Equis 'Most interesting man in the World' ads? This seems to be a direct parody. I enjoy those ads, so I thought it was very clever.

lol, I love that they are doing a parody of the 'Most interesting man in the world' ads. This game has a lot of charm and they just keep making it more awesome with stuff like this!

"I could do with playing a good Japanese RPG."

Jim, I love your work and I love what you do but I think you're digging too deeply into this whole 'hate on one of the most popular JRPG of all time' thing. You've gone after the game in two completely unrelated articles in a row.

Other then that, carry on. This game looks pretty exciting and I'd love to play it.

ThunderHeartXI: The most Popular would be Pokemon HG/SS, man.

Wouldn't the most popular be Dragon Quest?

ANYWAY

This is one of the reasons I got a PS3, the other being God of War 3. It looks freaking FANTASTIC.

Sometimes I like to forget I have a PS3, just to realize I have one several weeks before a game like this comes out.

It makes it that much more special when I realize I can play it.

@ThunderHeartXI -- I would certainly call FF XIII one of the most divisive RPGs of all time. It's practically tearing the Final Fantasy fanbase in two.

Of course, if we're solely going on the basis of total games sold, then, yes it is one of the most popular JRPGs. This is like saying one should avoid criticizing the Ford Taurus since it's one of the most popular automobiles of all time. The Taurus is popular for much the same reason the most recent Final Fantasy game is, it feels safe to people because they recognize the name, and they're not familiar with just how much better some of the other options are.

Is it really necessary to keep picking at people like this? I mean you have you review which is your honest opinion which is fine, but with things like this you're just going to create more trolls. In a completely unrelated article like this comments like that are pointless and will just piss people off.

@SquawkDerby -- Yes, people have strong opinions when it comes to FF games. Critics aren't liking this game as much as some previous entries. Some of the sales trends in Japan don't look promising either. In the end, it will take awhile for everybody to have some space and look at the game with the benefit of hindsight.

@xaliqen

I'm not saying it's wrong for anyone to criticize Final Fantasy (I am no stranger to criticizing games that I regard as my all time favorites), but I'm just saying that Jim made two news posts (which were formally in a row before this news post was hidden and reposted at a later date) about completely separate games and made snarky comments about FF13 (though one of them was indirect) in both of them. I just felt that instead of having his opinion (which I agree with in many ways) and leaving it at that, he was sort of attacking the game unfairly.

@xaliqen -- Fair enough, but what would you expect? A sizeable number of people, myself included, were waiting for the FF review for days. So, it was bound to be a big deal and spread to other areas a bit.

Definitely the best game commercial I've seen in quite some time. I especially like the fact that for a game which pay homage to other video games, it's only appropriate for this ad to pay homage to another popular ad.

3D Dot Game Heroes has an awesome concept and Atlus has a great reputation localizing games. I will almost certainly get this.

If you want a good japanese rpg, then look no further than Mana Khemia. I'm not sure if I'm joking or not.

@GreatRedneckHope -- I think the PS2 version is great. If you're talking about the PSP version, then you're probably joking.

Ah hah, I see what you did there. It's too bad you felt you had to be like that though.

On topic though: I wish this was coming out on 360 so I could play it.

So did FFXIII kill your firstborn or something?

Cause I can get not liking the game, but you've really got your balls in a knot.

This game will be amazing because I won't have to wear glasses to admire the TREEDEEEVISHIN


Just pre-ordered this tonight along with The Last Guardian. I cannot be more excited. That and the extremely competitive price point.

I agree man. I think 3d Dot Game Heroes is going to be one of the next best RPGs. It's not going to be a console seller, but it will be a hot game to those that get their hands on it

This isn't a JRPG. It's a retro remake of Zelda. Zelda is not a JRPG.

Actually, by technical definition, Zelda is a JRPG, it was made in Japan, and is an RPG, it might not necessairly fit into the nice cozy setting like PERSONA or FinalFantasy, but its still a JRPG
