[Duster]

It should be more like Dark Souls.

You're a blacksmith, you just set up shop in the vague hope somebody out there hasn't given up all hope, when a customer eventually turns up you get them to do all the fighting and resource gathering for you while you spend time touching women and playing with your swords.

 

[jay]

Sounds like a Vita game alright.

 

[Pricken]

Everything about it sounds great. The other day I was jokingly suggesting it may be similiar to Recettear based on the promotion pictures, so I'm happy! Will have to take a look at the gameplay and art before I decide whether to get it or not, but at this stage I hope it comes over.

 

[gngf123]

Was interested, until the women touching mechanic.


Well, they know there is an audience for that stuff on the Vita.

 

[Cornbread78]

The premise of the game sounds promising, too bad it'll never come to NA..

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

[Anko]

I was moderately interested in the premise. And then...

And there also appears to be some sort of woman-touching element. (Making original use of that PS Vita touch screen!)

Why the hell do they feel obliged to stuff this into every other game now. Is this the only use they can find for that touch screen?

 

[AcademicSaucer]

NIS knows its audience

 

[jackal27]

This sounds pretty fun, but can we please stop with the woman touching? That shizz is super gross and... whatever.

 

[Linkark07]

Reaction after seeing Shizuka Ito's name? YES

Reaction after reading the woman touching element? Pass

 

[Leafhopper]

If Criminal Girls sells on the controversy of it I am sure this will get localized too. At least this sounds like a better game than CG at least.

It's how they market the games now and they know people will talk about it. I doubt they actually thought about the touch screen at all.

 

[Tiktaalik]

...And there also appears to be some sort of woman-touching element...

Oh of course.

 

[Tohsaka]

The premise of the game sounds promising, too bad it'll never come to NA..

NISA is desperate for games to localize since they lost GUST and at least some of the Neptune games. I'd be willing to bet that this will be localized if it's even halfway decent, and maybe even if it isn't.

 

[Takao]

I guess this is their shtick now and they are gonna stick too it, especially if they are going to now tease the "rub" games like they are some big reveal.

Clearly Shin Hayarigami needs to be localized to restore the balance.

 

[Coffee Dog]

I hope this game is shit. I don't want to have to live in a world where my love of good game design and my dislike of porn games are at odds.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Damn. This sounds awesome lol

 

[Opiate]

Sony certainly has a firm grasp of the otaku market.

 

[ohlawd]

guys, the touching doesn't sound bad. Original use? Aren't you curious? Maybe it's not tasteless.

I'm pretty confident the game will be crap anyway. All in on original use touch mechanics.

 

[Durante]

Moar like "Great Ero Blacksmith" amirite?

 

[SerTapTap]

I hope this game is shit. I don't want to have to live in a world where my love of good game design and my dislike of porn games are at odds.

Hey man Bioware gets pretty good reviews

 

[kswiston]

Are their any jrpgs on Vita that aren't full of fanservice?

 

[kadotsu]

I hope this game is shit. I don't want to have to live in a world where my love of good game design and my dislike of porn games are at odds.

I think most of the talent has left NIS in the last years. I could be mixing up some things but I think most of the staff of NIS we know currently works on Makai Ichiban Kan.

Good points, would be really nice for physical releases as well, but they just aren;t enough VITA's sold out west to support it. Either way, it they localize it, that would be great, so at least we have an opportunity to play it.

 

[Puru]

Tired of rubbing Virtual Girls, can we leave this for Morpheus/Occulus Rift?
Interested in the non rubbing part and the art style but due to the nature of this game i'm already in sceptical mode.

I hope this game is shit. I don't want to have to live in a world where my love of good game design and my dislike of porn games are at odds.

It's already to late then.

 

[Ahegao]

Sounds good, need to see scans to decide if I even want to touch these girls though. This is important.

 

[chrominance]

So it's like NIS took the movie Ikiru and made the protagonist a horny blacksmith who feels up women?

 

[Durante]

Are their any jrpgs on Vita that aren't full of fanservice?

Are we talking original Vita JRPGs or also ports?

 

[Leafhopper]

Are their any jrpgs on Vita that aren't full of fanservice?

Full of it? Persona 4 Golden and I would say the Atelier games but those technically have fanservice too, not an insane amount though.

However those are all enhanced ports. Original ones? Nope.

 

[Principate]

It's kind of sad you need to ask that question.

 

[kswiston]

Original titles. I know the Atelier games are lighter on the fanservice (though they still have some), but it seems like everything original that is being announced for the system is an ecchi game.

 

[Mr-Joker]

It should be more like Dark Souls.

No thanks, not every games need to be Dark Souls.

Sony certainly has a firm grasp of the otaku market.

Probably because that's their only market.

 

[Gamerloid]

So many touching gimmicks with these games on the Vita. Do people really find these segments fun? I'd think you might as well go all the way.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

... Am I the only one who understood the 'original use' comment as tongue-in-cheek? Game sounds interesting. Need to see some screens or somethin'.

 

[Durante]

It's kind of sad you need to ask that question.

It's not like there are many good original JRPGs on any handheld device.
*Durante equips flame retardant vest*

 

[May16]

Sounds kind of like an Atelier game, only playing as a smith dude in Edo Japan? Or...or am I forgetting how Atelier works? (I only played Rorona.)

And there also appears to be some sort of woman-touching element.

Everything I could say has already been said for me in this thread.

 

[Tohsaka]

Japanese console/handheld games don't have sex, so the devs couldn't include it even if they wanted to.

 

[Vlade]

Reaction after seeing Shizuka Ito's name? YES

Reaction after reading the woman touching element? Pass

Same for me

 

[Delusibeta]

You know, that second game isn't even Monster Monpiece, that action wouldn't do anything at any point in the game.

It's from the original Vita reveal, AFAIK.

 

[Kouriozan]

Vita means life.
Need more hometown.

 

[Forkball]

...And there also appears to be some sort of woman-touching element...

Do they even need to mention this about a Vita game? That's like mentioning there will be jumping in the next Mario.

 

[ohlawd]

that's from a Dynasty Warriors commercial.

 

[Leafhopper]

*Durante equips flame retardant vest*

No need to equip that +7 crystal flame shield. You aren't really wrong. There were a good chunk of oriignal JRPGs that came out on the DS and some on the PSP but there isn't exactly a lot of them.

Do they even need to mention this about a Vita game? That's like mentioning there will be jumping in the next Mario.

I can't tell if people are joking anymore if they think all Vita games are like this.

 

[PAULINK]

:/

Poor Vita.

you mean AWESOME vita

 

[Ahegao]

I'm mostly in agreement with people calling fanservice games garbage though. I mean, without porn it's just pointless blue-balling. If Compile Heart would be making eroge for example I'd actually give a fuck. These games would finally have a goddamn Raison d'être.

 

[Labrys]

Depending on level of fanservice I may be interested. Hoping that "women touching" will be optional.

That was my next point. Just make straight up porn if that was your intention.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Putting aside the quality of the games, is NIS the publisher with more games on the Vita outside Sony ? They sure love the Vita .

 

[Ratrat]

Does nisa have their own version of xseed's tom? I'm reserving judgement until I hear more about the artistic side of these women touching elements

Its a softcore porn game. Move on.

 

[Principate]

That was my next point. Just make straight up porn if that was your intention.

Sadly if that was a common sentiment it wouldn't infest games, anime and manga to the degree it has.

 

[Raticus79]

Sounds like a fun game concept. I just hope the characters are drawn as adults in this one. *patiently waits for the first in-game images*
