その怪力は、身の丈を超える敵をもやすやすすと持ち上げ、投げ飛ばす。
With superhuman strength, even enemies bigger than him can be picked up easily and hurled through the air.

I want to do a spinning piledriver to the demon in the last screenshot.

 

[dan2026]

I would pay that Japanese man in the trailer to just say the word 'Dwarf' to me over and over.

 

[Menchi]

Awesome, can not wait for this game!

 

[Morpork]

Here's the fighter translation.

白銀の鎧に身をつつみ、剣と盾を手に敵立ちかう恐れを知らね勇士だ。
Wrapping himself in a suit of silver armour, and armed with a sword and shield he confronts the enemies fearlessly like a brave warrior.

そのは鎧敵の攻撃をものともせず、その盾は味方すべての守りとなる。
His armour spites the enemies attacks and his shield protects all his allies.

そしてその剣は、旋風の如く群がる敵を蹴散らし、正面から道を切り開くのだ。
His sword, with power like a hurricane he scatters groups of enemies with ease and carves the way forward.

君はファイターとなり。ドラゴンと立ち向かう…！
You'll become the Fighter. Will you face the dragon...!

We need doujins to keep the thread alive

 

[maomaoIYP]

He's got that curl-into-ball-and-smash-into-enemies move that the Dwarf in Shadow of Mystara has!

This is really good actually.

August is sooooo faaaaaarrrrrrrr awaaaaaaaaaaay!

 

[nailbombxx]

Between Dragon's Crown, Muramasa Rebirth, and Soul Sacrifice, my Vita is going to get so much love.

 

[Weltall Zero]

Wow. Fighter and Dwarf seemed the least interesting to me (and even slightly redundant), but with Fighter's shield blocking and dwarf's throwing, they are really set apart and interesting. I hope Dwarf will be able to pick up and throw almost everything, Crude Busters style.

 

[Respawn]

Holy Moly this is my GOTY!

 

[SolidSnakex]

Atlus finally updated the official English site

http://www.atlus.com/dragonscrown

It also once and for all puts an end to any worries about local co-op on the PS3 and online co-op on the Vita

 

[nailbombxx]

But what about cross buy?!

 

[Skyzard]

Thanks for posting, SolidSnakex, online co-op!! Awesome news for Vita owners, won't have difficulty finding matches then hopefully, like with psasbr. Cross-play really helps sometimes.

You know I wasn't sure about this as I'm not usually one for this type of gameplay these days but after Guacamelee, I want this pretty bad, especially with the artstyle! And this character looks awesome to play.


edit - ignore this post, reading fail+duped.

 

[Labadal]

Well, it's cool that it has cross-platform multiplayer.

 

[SolidSnakex]

That's not what they're saying. You can only play with PS3 players on that platform and Vita players on that platform. Saves are the only cross-platform feature.

Oh, bugger. The game will be bought day 1 despite me failing reading comprehension.

Hmm I think you're right, that's a dirty infograph.

Lame. Now if I wait for a sale or something there probably won't be many players left for online co-op (except for sale-week), but I don't really want it at full-price unless lots of gaffers are getting it on vita.

 

[Yuterald]

Cool nod to Odin Sphere with the dwarf bombs. Music sounds pretty serious. Almost more interested in that Sakimoto/Basiscape OST than the game itself, lol!

 

[nailbombxx]

I'm thinking about buying both the PS3 and Vita version.

 

[Shai-Tan]

they only list ad hoc for vita in that info graphic. is there online co-op on the Vita? it isn't listed in the graphic (?)

edit: Nevermind I can't read (text was small on phone)

 

[HotGarbage]

I'm looking forward to the second best character's reveal.

In all seriousness I am curious as to what they're going to do with her. Has to be more than shooting arrows from the back.

 

[SixMachine]

Here's to hoping his rainbow roll has as much use as Predator Hunter's roll in AVP. It was a beastly move that can otg, and look really sick in combos. He has a belly flop too right? I wonder how the jump arcs in the are. If the jumping feels good and adjustable/different arcs, then he might be a Hunter 2.0. Though this games doesn't look as fast as that game so far, but we'll need to get our hands on it to see how the pace of the game truly is.

 

[suffah]

Hope the controls are nice and tight (spoiled after playing Guacamelee).

 

[Data West]

Anyone know if they plan on doing multiple colors in this game?

 

[SAB CA]

Anyone know if they plan on doing multiple colors in this game?

Yes, you can see some alt colors in the trailer befor these vids, and possibly in the Sorceress vid itself. No idea how many they'll have though.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Art direction is misandric, will not play.

Spoiler

lol

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Superior Cuteness, btw.

Get yo dirty hands off her. Archer is mine!

 

[Overboost]

There's an absurd amount of weird doujinshi dwarf porn based on Dragon's Crown from 2011, along with tons more for every other character in this game. Google at your own risk.

 

[Anteater]

part man part boulder

 

[QisTopTier]

All bad ass

 

[cpp_is_king]

My body is so ready for this game. I had this game as my desktop wallpaper for like the past year and a half, and everything I've seen so far indicates that it will be worth the wait.

Yeah that gives off serious avp vibes. I really hope this game isn't abysmal like Muramasa though. Hopefully they have learned how to make good action games along with their visuals.

The fact that it looks to have stat progression and that they said it was a long game is giving me very little hope though...

 

[SAB CA]

As much as they're taking from D&D, I would think the desire to stick to it's gameplay would help this one feel pretty good.

However, people whine a lot about this genre... so I don't know how it'll go over for EVERYONE. I just know I'll probably enjoy playing it more than almost any other VaniWare game, this really is my favorite genre right beside fighters...

Get yo dirty hands off her. Archer is mine!

I'm sure we'll be fine, there should be a palette swap for each of us! ()

 

[blurrygil]

The Sorceress thread managed to reach something like 20 pages due primarily to her eye-catching physical attributes. Watch this thread barely scrape to page 3 before withering away.

Spoiler

those bulging,hulking muscles

Welp, it's Page 3.

*crickets*

 

[LiK]

I am so repulsed by those pecs.

 

[Gbraga]

Can't wait for that sequel.

 

[Karsticles]

Welp, it's Page 3.

*crickets*

I saw this pop up and thought "Holy crap, a new trailer?!" Oh right, the Dwarf came out already...

 

[SolidSnakex]

Well, we're almost to the next trailer. Elf or Amazon.

 

[Black Door]

Dwarf thread=three pages of gameplay discussion.

Sorceress thread=three threads of privilege checking, shitposting, slut shaming, pseudo feminism , armchair psychology and Japanese culture analysis, and hand wringing.

I love you, GAF.

 

[Bombless]

I'm hoping for the Amazon. If the dwarf is pummeling mobs into oblivion she should (judging by the screenshots) focus on 360° damage dealing. Also, besides reach I hope she also has flexibility!

 

[Loudninja]

So this is a action rpg correct?

 

[FrontalMonk]

So this is a action rpg correct?

If by "Action RPG" you mean "Final Fight with stats", then yes.

 

[Metrotab]

I've actually never had to deal with this issue before so excuse my ignorance: will the American version be region-locked or not work with my European PS3 (it's one of the 'first line 60 GB' version)?

 

[Barakov]

So this is a action rpg correct?

Yeah, seems that way. It's more of a beat'em up with leveling.

 

[Labadal]

We don't know yet. I haven't seen anything that implies that this will be region locked. On the other hand, Atlus did region lock Persona 4 Arena.

 

[Barakov]

I've actually never had to deal with this issue before so excuse my ignorance: will the American version be region-locked or not work with my European PS3 (it's one of the 'first line 60 GB' version)?

As far as I know it's region free. So you should be able import it with no problem.

Sounds good thanks.

No Persona in the title, no problem.
