Two games that I am salivating over: Persona 4 and Valkyrie Profile: The Accursed One (hereafter VP:DS). (The VP stuff was announced a few days back with a screenshot, but the P4 screenshots are completely new.)
Gotta say, even though P4 has had very little of a graphical upgrade from P3, and Soejima's character designs are a little samey compared to P3's, I'm still super-pumped about this game. (But then, I really liked P3, even the much-maligned school-sim system and Mysterious Dungeon-like Tartarus.) I wouldn't mind if Shoji Meguro cut down a little on the BABYBABYBABY though...not that I dislike it, or even really got tired of hearing it, but I just really loved his DDS2 work and wish he'd do something a little closer to that for P4.
So FES next month, then P4 over here sometime early next year probably...sounds like a good Persona-year to me, though I always worry about games released near the end of a dying system, after the new one's already out (remnants of my SNES past). Atlus, please release Persona 4 even though it will be for the PS2! After all, the PS2 has a larger install fanbase than the PS3.
As for Valkyrie Profile, and for the DS no less...YESPLZ. Though I guess I'd better beat Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria first, huh. XD;
Still, tri-Ace has owned my soul since Star Ocean 2, so I'm anxiously awaiting this game. They've actually done quite a few of my favorite-ish games: the Star Ocean games, the Valkyrie Profile, Radiata Stories...so I have a feeling this one will be awesome as well. :D
