A love letter to the glorious jRPG Days!

Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds, is now available, DRM-Free on GOG.com.
If there's one thing the world of Legrand has in abundance apart from beautifully illustrated environments, that's epic turn-based encounters, reminiscent of the genre's highlights! Together with a dramatic story, an intriguing cast of characters, and a small city waiting for you to gradually restore it to its former glory, this is an experience worthy of the celebrated classics.

Craving more jRPG goodness? Spend some jRPG Days with us, in the company of beloved champions of the genre like Celestian Tales, Regalia, or the Ys and Legend of Heroes series, going for up to -80% until January 31, 11PM UTC.
Stranger still is that Zwei: The Arges Adventure was originally part of the sale, but is now showing as "Coming Soon" with a release date of today. There is definitely some backdoor coding happening on the site right now.
Well, it's nice to see another of the games I backed on KS released here. I have no time to play it right now, though, so it'll have to wait a while.

It will be part of the sale so to speak, as it will receive a 10% launch discount.
Why on earth isn't The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter in the sale? Every other Trails game is included.

Wondering the same thing, myself.
good to see a jrpg not aimed at children but young adults
trailers show squat all of what actual game play is like, will have to wait for reviews before thinking more on it

The project page has a free pre-alpha prologue, clearly that's not the same as a lets play of the current game but I figured I'd mention it.

How does this have such a low rating already, with absolutely no reviews showing up?

I haven't bought it yet, managed to come when I was pretty much flat broke and will be for a few months, but I played the demo of this and even in early alpha it was at least decent with a lot of potential for improvement.

My biggest complaint was the atrocious English, but I heard they got someone in to help them out with that, so if the brain bleed inspiring translations have been fixed I can't see how this wouldn't be a game worth picking up.

Heck, even if they haven't been fixed, it'd still be worth playing.

Thanks for the link. So I guess combat is turn-based with twich/skill tests for every action. Reminds me of Shadow Hearts, a game that I sort of liked until near the end, where I had to use the triple-twich wheel just to use a vending machine successfully. I've played other games with such mechanics as well (e.g. The Legend of Dragoon, Gladius), and I suppose it didn't aggravate me too much most of the time. I wonder how far this game takes the real-time twich mechanic.

Still waiting for a JRPG for old adults. :P ( And no, don't post links to some erotic game -- the main audience for those are horny teenagers, too. )

Anyhow, this actually looks interesting. The 2D backgrounds and real-time 3D fights bring back some nice nostalgic feelings, from a time when I still loved the genre. I may have to pick it up at some point in the future.

DampSquib: Looks great, but after reading, looks like it needs a pad.
So no..

Fortuk: It´s confusingly worded, but I think it means to say that you can play fully with either keyboard+mouse or a controller, but will occasionally need a keyboard or controller for certain prompts if you´re going to play with only the mouse.
The wording isn't great, as long as i don't need a pad happy days.

Glad to have you! Could you confirm whether you can play the game with mouse+keyboard? The store description is a little vague in this regard.
