For anyone who might have forgotten, this week is E3, one of the biggest video games industry expositions of the year. With a return to the large format show of yesteryear and rumors of big announcements from all sides, it's little surprise that there just aren't very many games shipping this week, especially here in North America.That said, here are the RPGs shipping to retailers for this week (June 1 - 5, 2009):
North America
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years - Square Enix - WiiWare
Knights in the Nightmare - Sting, Atlus - Nintendo DS
Japan
Arc Rise Fantasia - imageepoch, Marvelous - Nintendo Wii
Lineage II: 2nd Throne: Extra & Ultimate Pack - NCSoft - PC
Europe
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel - Ascaron, Deep Silver - Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Star Ocean: The Last Hope - tri-Ace, Square Enix - Xbox 360
Valhalla Knights - K2, Rising Star - PSP
Knights in the Nightmare and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years will be hitting retailers this week in North America while most North Americans game-savvy enough to know about these games will be no doubt preoccupied with E3.
Japan grabs imageepoch and Marvelous' Arc Rise Fantasia, which indeed looks worth its price of admission, as well as a Lineage II expansion.
Europe gets Sacred 2 for consoles and Valhalla Knights 2 for PSP. They also finally get Star Ocean 4, which is a big recommendation for anyone who enjoys action-JRPGs.
Anything looking worth your cash this week?

Great ! I was waiting for Knights in the nightmare for a long time !
I tried it in japanese ... seemed great but couldn't understand anything ^^'
And even more , star ocean in Europe ! we've waited way enough for that one =)
Now that's a good week (imho).
Star Ocean 4 is definitely good times. it sucks you guys have had to wait so long for it.
as for Knights in the Nightmare, I just don't know yet. I didn't really like the other two games in the series, so I'm having a hard time wanting to play it. hopefully it's good though.
