Your Honor, I have some new evidence to present.

Also, would you believe the main character was originally set in stone?

SaGa games always look and sound amazing!

Caution: she has a pretty face but also a poison touch.

All six sacred books on one sacred phone.

Gotta admit, that's pretty damn cute.

Award for least practical armor?

You'll find no objections here!

Episode Duscae will get an update!

Can this game just come out already?

The best of both worlds- it's a neat reference and a good weapon!

Courtesy of Gaijinworks.

What can we say, that benchmark has us all excited.

So it wasn't the last door after all. Is this going to be like "Final" Fantasy?

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in.

"Everything I've drawn up until now has been low saturation, so this will be a challenge of colors!"

A summer of fun awaits!

GENTLE LOVE doeth the mind well...

A special 20th anniversary website as well.

"It truly makes me happy to see a revival of past works like this."

I'm hoping for a dapper hat and monocle.

The dragoon's limit break is WHAT?!

He is a Cuban dictator and French literary genius.

But no release window, unfortunately. *sadface*

As well as a brief look at the Black Steel Continent of Mira.

Captain America will remember that…

You have my bow, my axe, and my terrifying hell spawn.

First one since 2010.

Less naughty bits for us.

Conspiracy! Someone call Phoenix Wright and/or Professor Layton.

Time to master those idols.

Coming to a smartphone near you. ..No, don't sigh just yet.

Short but sweet.

And next year, Final Fantasy: The Wonder Years starring Fred Savage.

The distant future.

The update is coming at the end of May.

I get to date twins!? No, wait I don't.

Rock on Izanagi!

The gates of Tamriel are open to you!

Just in time for Age of Ultron, shockingly!

Tell me if you've heard this one: plucky hero helps cute, amnesiac faerie.

I could make an Olivia Newton John reference here, but I won't.

Sorry for the delay - Stephen was busy completing all 9,999 quests.

No where to hide, even amongst the stars.

New story, allies, and battle system.

Play your way.

Bravely Second isn't even out!

Ditch your phone, its time to be suave on your Vita.

With a new mode to play as "that witch."

It's all about that old-time space-magic.

Geralt should know better than to mess with Lord Tywin.

Staffed by some major heavyweights in Japanese game development.

This might be the cutest game ever.

You've never seen a spaceship? What kind of backwater planet are you from? Feycreed?

Use the priest to guard your bits.

Why do you always have to be such a blackguard?

8 of the 12 heroines to light up your day.

Is it just me, or are there a lot of first-person dungeon-crawlers lately?

Another free-to-play RPG on mobile.

Take up arms with Adol once again.

Song magic is a-go!

Via the Asia release.

It's time for your daily dancing break.

Help out a charity and get some cheap RPGs, it's win-win!

A few jobs from Bravely Default are returning as well.

The "Soft Engine" might add more... life to the new Dissidia game. Also, tutorials!

Boozing with Omega Quintet.

Jeez, they're giant mechs, get it right!

Square Enix execs are being coy.

The PS Vita version of this Legend of Heroes is looking spiffy.

Like right now.

Somebody at Amazon let it slip.

Free songs!

I think I can ride this chocobo.

Dragon Quest Heroes: Unsurprisingly Long Title
