Ni No Kuni III in Development? The Pokemon Company's Response to Fans! #jrpg #news #NiNoKuni #pokemon Social Links: Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/superderekrpgs Discord: https://www.discord.me/superderek JRPG Weekly Update Show Notes: I know what you’re thinkin… You can get your mug, or anything at all in the Item Shop with free shipping when you check out using promo code Elixer! Headlines: • Nintendo Responds! o Since it was announced there will be no national Dex in the upcoming Pokémon Title, massive fan outcry could be heard throughout the Internet. o Nintendo’s silence has been deafening until now. o Statement from Junichi Masuda:  Thank you to all of our fans for caring so deeply about Pokémon. Recently, I shared the news that some Pokémon cannot be transferred to Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. I've read all your comments and appreciate your love and passion for Pokémon. Just like all of you, we are passionate about Pokémon and each and every one of them is very important to us. After so many years of developing the Pokémon video games, this was a very difficult decision for me. I'd like to make one thing clear: even if a specific Pokémon is not available in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, that does not mean it will not appear in future games. The world of Pokémon continues to evolve. The Galar region offers new Pokémon to encounter, Trainers to battle, and adventures to embark on. We are pouring our hearts into these games, and we hope you will look forward to joining us on this new journey. o In other words, “We understand your concerns, deal with it.” o I don’t have a horse in this race, but I do know this isn’t the first time Pokémon have been omitted from a Pokémon title. However this is likely the first this many were omitted. o From the perspective of a JRPG fan, not necessarily a Pokémon trainer, this would force me to break out of any ruts I had fallen into, and discover a love for new Pokémon instead of relying on the same ones I use over and over. New Game and Port Announcements: • Ni No Kuni Getting a 3rd Title! o Akihiro Hino revealed in an interview a third title is in development o Planned to release after the NNK Movie releases in Japan Aug 29th • New Utawarerumono title announced! o The new title is set in a Japan-style world and feature half-human creatures. o The name, platforms, and expected release dates are unannounced.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=9QD94dKDliA • The brand-newly announced Atelier Ryza is coming to the West o That doesn’t surprise me o What DOES surprise me is that it’s releasing on October 29th o Didn’t they just release a game? Like a month ago? Localization and Release Date Updates: • Dragon Quest Builders 2 Demo is now available on PS4 and Nintendo Switch o Digital demos are awesome, go find out if this game is for you or not for free • The Alliance Alive HD Remaster gets a release date o North America: October 8 o Europe: October 11 • Disgaea 4 Complete+ is getting a release in the west, o October 29th Other News: • Square Enix DQ team is hiring artists for a next-gen Dragon Quest title! o Likely Dragon Quest XII in the works. Not that there was ever any doubt. o Speaking of which, where’s that Dragon Quest Monsters game featuring Erik? • A Live-Action Final Fantasy TV series is in the works, based in the world of FFXIV o Square seems to do their best film-work with established worlds so this is encouraging, though based on Japanese live-action adaptations of anime, my expectations are through the floor at this point.

New RPGs this Week: • ASDIVINE DIOS o JRPG coming to PS4, Vita, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on July 4 • CLANNAD o Visual Novel, I only care because the anime was great o Already on PS4 and PC • Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers o DLC for FF XIV o Coming to PS4 and PC • ILLUSION OF L'PHALCIA o Coming to Xbox One o Already available on iOS Question Of the Week: • Summer is awesome, and I miss having a summer break.
