<span class="bold">Xanadu Next</span>, an exploration-focused retro dungeon crawler, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.

Though Xanadu Next was originally released in 2005, the PC edition never officially made it outside of Japan. Up until now that is, as XSEED Games' re-release finally brings the classic to modern PCs with full English localization.
Xanadu Next is an exploration-centric RPG from the creators of Ys & Legend of Heroes. With a slew of captivating twists on the formula, you'll explore an interconnected world full of secrets, littered with backstory, and rich progression systems to keep your experience fresh.

In dungeon-crawling jRPG style, <span class="bold">Xanadu Next</span> returns – DRM-free on GOG.com. The launch discount will last until November 9, 4:59 PM GMT.

Nice, time for an insta-wishlist-until-it's-75%-off!

Xananext is the real deal, guys. Think of a mix of mid-2000s Ys, Falcom's Brandish games, Nox, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and maybe some later 2D Zeldas. It's an accessible dungeon crawler experience unlike anything Falcom's developed in more than a decade, and it deserves more attention.

That's cool, maybe Faxanadu next?
Posted November 03, 2016
Cool, done deal.

Finally! Instant Purchase. Thanks GoG and xseed!

Great release. I remember playing a (unfinished I think) fan-translation years ago...
I'll wishlist for the future.

Coo! JRPG!

*wanders off to check it out*

*sees price*

Ouch. Especially for an 11 year old game.
And does anyone else think the music on the promo video as jarring for what looks like something along the lines of Zelda and Alundra, complete with crate puzzles?

Wishlisted for now.

Looks really cool... Why is it so good for people who know it ? How is the replayability ?

Unfortunatly Falcom doesn't want their games to be released with japanese voices outside of japan.

Xseed usually makes very good dubs though.

That's actually the final boss theme. I don't agree with XSEED using that to advertise the game since most of the OST is a lot softer and baroque, different from many of their soundtracks but just as catchy and memorable.

Falcom probably forbids XSEED from adding a Japanese language option in order to prevent this release from siphoning sales of their own versions. Neither company talks about or hints at any of this, so I'm just speculating.

No difficulty modes, but there's an optional randomized dungeon as well as post-game letter rankings based on how efficiently and quickly you play through the game.
