New Tease Suggests Tactical RPG Series Langrisser Could Make A 2018 Comeback

Admittedly I've never heard of this one, but all I can think of at the moment is all the long dead JRPG's I love that could come back like a zombie to walk amongst the Switch games.

I'm always up for some tactical RPG action. I'll keep a look out if there's a version Switch-bound.

Never heard about this series. Still if it gets announced it could be a nice addition to the switch library

I was utterly addicted to Warsong on the Genesis. First time ever experienced perma-death. Hope this is a reboot. For me that game was a fore runner to Fire Emblem.

The 2015 3DS download got a 3/10 from NintendoLife... I think I'll pass.

The battle animations from the 3ds version were god-awful. This series needs a major overhaul if I'm going to consider it for the switch

I've heard of the series couple of times before and it looks interesting. I really like strategy games. Not a long wait to see more of the game. I can decide then if it's something I want to play.

Just tried out Valkyria Chronicles demo today as well. That's another series I've known of for some time but never tried it out since they haven't been on a consoles I own. Great game so far. I'm excited to play the full game.

@GrailUK I don't know about forerunner since Fire Emblem came out first on NES a year earlier but they certainly took some inspiration from Famicom Wars and Fire Emblem.

I am highly disturbed by depiction of the person on the left. Is it a severely underage girl with all but her nipples covered? Either I am becoming old or Japanese media/games move in a direction that is more and more.

@Late Warsong beat Fire Emblem to the West by a considerable margin. So ye, fore runner this side of the globe easy

@GrailUK If we are talking about America, then yes. I think Europe got Fire Emblem for GBA before any Langrisser games. I could be wrong, though. Either way, it doesn't really matter all that much. I'm sure both series were inspired by each other in some way or another.

It could be an omnibus of all the games to date.

@Late Well, I imported Warsong O.< (I did say 'for me' in my original post lol).

@GrailUK Nice. I wish I were aware of the game back when I was little. Also, apparently missed the whole "for me" part.

@Late Hehe, it's ok. I appreciate FE came first (But my Japanese to this day is nowhere near good enough to play it lol!)

Didn't the 3DS outing not fare too well? I mean especially when compared to Fire Emblem, I think that one at least, paled in comparison. If memory serves me well didn't it have really stupid chibi-style fight scenes? If they get rid of that crap I think I'd be on board.
I wonder if what they're teasing is perhaps the older games along with a new one.... That'd be cool! I think the Sega days of Langrisser were much kinder!

Somehow this reminded me of Growlanser; now, there's an idea for a game on Switch.

Please let it be like Record of Grancrest War on PS4 and not another 2D pixelated crap fest.

This is what I call a good news.

The last Langrisser game for 3DS was garbage so I'm not hype for this series but hopefully it could surprise me.

@finalstan it should. The same artist/character designer moved onto Growlanser. Good catch noticing the similarities.

I played Warsong and a bit of the Saturn games, mostly part four with a translation. I really enjoyed the games and their beautiful presentation. I know the recent revival wasn't well received. I hope this, whatever it is, turns out better if it's new. If it's a compilation, I hope to see it translated.

@sdelfin I had no idea. I had to look at my Vita's download list to check the name of the game it reminded me off, played it years ago and remember loving it. Wayfarer of Time, awesome game.

The companie need do something like the series was in the snes. The 3ds version is not exactly a appreciated title.

@Hrimfaksi same here. It made me cringe that this sort of thing is at all publicly acceptable.
