Ys games dated; new Legend of Heroes VII revealed in Ys pre-order |
Ó
Nihon Falcom is rolling with the punches this week. For one, they've dated their two Ys games for the PSP. Previously only scheduled with a release window, we now have specific calendar dates: July 16 for Ys I & II Chronicles and September 17 for Ys 7. Pretty cool news for the Ys fans, but more of interest here is that they're teasing everyone with the latest in their Legend of Heroes saga!
The announcement - which is more of a teaser, actually - of the new Legend of Heroes game is flying pretty low on the radar. It was revealed as part of the pre-order package for the Ys games.
See, Ys I & II Chronicles pre-orders will get you a bonus soundtrack CD from the game. But if you want a Ys 7 pre-order, that gets you Ys Music History soundtrack (from the entire series) and an artbook.
The artbook is for Legend of Heroes VII, which includes concept art and some renders for the game. Though no platform was revealed for the mysterious upcoming title, it's very probable that LoH7 will be getting a PSP release.
This is because a) the previous remakes were released on the PSP also, and b) this artbook is bundled with a PSP game - it makes little to no sense to advertise an upcoming game for a different platform.

Screw Legend of Heroes VII, it's not like we're gonna see it anywhere outside of Japan.
I'm sure that's what a lot of people also said of Legend of Heroes IV before it was released in the US as LoH: A Tear of Vermillion. Same thing goes for Legend of Heroes III and V, which also got an English localization in the form of LoH2: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch and LoH3: Song of the Ocean.
Considering the track record of Nihon Falcom for the past couple years (three LoH games on PSP, Ys Ark of Napishtim on PSP and PS2, Gurumin on PSP, AND Ys Chronicles on the DS - all of which got English releases), LoH7 still has a chance of seeing an English release.
Your noobiness worries me.
Look at all of the games in the LoH series that haven't been released outside of Japan. Most notably, LoH 6 (which is an awesome game, but is only for the Japanese people to enjoy, we just get the crappy games in the series).
It looks great, but I agree we'll probably never see it in English.
