Famitsu, Final Fantasy 16 is still the most awaited game by readers
Famitsu
There is little to do, Final Fantasy 16 does not fall off the top of the ranking of the most anticipated games by the readers of the Japanese magazine Famitsu: the margin on the second place of Bayonetta 3 is large, while Splatoon 3, third, could make a pass.[PS5] Final Fantasy 16 - 689 votes [NSW] Bayonetta 3 - 546 votes [NSW] Splatoon 3 - 530 votes [NSW] The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 - 514 votes [NSW] Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - 472 votes [NSW] Dragon Quest X Offline - 451 votes [NSW] Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak - 413 votes [NSW] Live A Live - 325 votes [NSW] Pokémon Scarlet and Violet - 313 votes [PS5] Pragmata - 281 votes
It is once again interesting to note that, beyond the aforementioned Final Fantasy 16, whose release in 2022 appears unlikely, there is only Pragmata to avoid yet another monopoly of Nintendo Switch on the top 10.
As we said, apart from the first position, with its large margin, we are facing a potential ranking nte dynamic, in which many positions could change also based on any announcements, especially in the coming weeks.
According to some sources, a new Nintendo Direct would be imminent and this has been reiterated in the past few hours, despite the news official release dates for Splatoon 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

If you’re a fan of Japanese developer Vanillaware, you may know GrimGrimoire, originally released in 2007 for PlayStation 2.
As announced in today’s issue of Weekly Famitsu, Nippon Ichi Software is bringing it back for PS4 and Nintendo Switch, with a planned release in Japan on July 28.
The real-time strategy JRPG will get a higher pixel count, widescreen aspect ratio, and a bunch of improvements and new features.
Among those, there will be a fast-forward feature, expanded ability to save your game (during battles), and an adjusted “Hard” difficulty level.,
Four new types of “Great Magic” have been added, including “Mana Burst” or “Resurrection” that can revive allies. They also have newly drawn cut-in illustrations.
During gameplay, you can earn coins and spend them in a brand new skill tree to improve your magic and familiars.
Last, but certainly not least considering that this is a Vanillaware game, a gallery feature has been added, including over 90 illustrations created both for the game itself and its promotion.
If you’re not familiar with Vanillaware, it’s a niche but extremely respected developer well-known for its beautiful 2D art. Their most recent game is 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.
You can check the first screenshots and plenty of art below. At the moment, NIS America (which also published the original game in North America) hasn’t announced a western release, so we’ll have to wait and see whether this game is brought over, but I would be surprised if it isn’t.
