He's just a concept artist.

Hmm...was hoping this would be a case like with FFIVDS, SNES IV - VI, or FFXIV ( I know he didnt do the design here, but the team got pretty close to adapting his original art for earlier enemies in 3D) where they at least tried to get as close as possible to his art for the main characters or enemies.

World design maybe?

Would be nice.

 

[YAWN]

The name of this game sounds far more interesting then what it actually is.

They couldn't exactly call it Generic Moe Game: The Same Old Shit That's Killing All JRPG's.

 

[Mandoric]

The black haired girl is wearing pants and wearing something cool that isn't too suggestive? That is impressive.

...she has an incredibly huge cleavage that can be seen from those shots, right?

.

 

[so1337]

That's not what I expected when you said Amano.

 

[Kincaido]

FUCK
YES

 

[Meccanical]

So they decided to make a new "label" (or whatever) just to make the exact same looking games they were making before? What's the point.

The point is moe.

 

[Takao]

So they decided to make a new "label" (or whatever) just to make the exact same looking games they were making before? What's the point.

Presumably to get more eyes on their games before people realize it's the exact same stuff as before.

 

[Majmun]

disgusting character design

Can stay JAP exclusive.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Sure. Why not? Doesn't look bad. A little more moe than my tastes, but I've been meaning to try the Neptunia series anyway. I'll probably check this out.

I like JRPGs.

 

[Meccanical]

That's not what I expected when you said Amano.

Please be excited!

 

[SougoXIII]

Is.. that a male character I see in that screen shots? Maybe this game wouldn't try to choke me with those moe crap.

 

[Coconut]

So what is the difference between fairy fencer a-e and fairy fencer f?

 

[Parakeetman]

Why is it that Compile Heart games always have nice looking characters, but gameplay always seems to fall flat? :/

Its why I fear buying any of their games anymore.

Look forward to harem antics then! wwwwwww

mk2 and Victory has awesome gameplay mechanics.

There is a guy in the character section of the website.

 

[Quixzlizx]

So this is a PS3 game?

 

[Syril]

They needed a new brand for this style?

 

[How About No]

Fairy Fencer F (Compile Heart/Amano/Uematsu's Band) Screenshots

It's uh, what you would expect.

*sobs*

Game biz why u no try to replicate Amano's art?!?

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

There was one in Mugen Souls and that game had to be censored over here.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Awful character designs. I have absolutely no faith in Compile Heart too.

 

[SougoXIII]

mk2 and Victory has awesome gameplay mechanics.

The gameplay's the only thing I enjoy in MK2.

 

[Crash Station]

but he's not drawing the girls

Eh, he's still working on something with cute girls in it, like he said he wanted to do.

They have some good ideas. It's just their games are horribly unpolished messes. I would definitely welcome one that could turn that around though.

 

[ShirAhava]

Awesome! Day One! Now I'll have something to look forward to after I finish Time and Eternity

Seems like all my money goes to either NIS or Compile Heart these days

 

[Kyoufu]

Amano, are you in there somewhere?

The boxart probably.

 

[chickdigger802]

neptunia games worth picking up? Am I missing anything if I skip some?

 

[Accoun]

It seemed to work with western shooters...

 

[RMI]

fans of neptunia games seem to think they're worthwhile, for what it's worth. I own a copy of Mk2 but haven't had the time to check it out yet myself. It seems like the sort of thing a person might like if they were into cheeky moe comedy nonsense.

 

[Impeccable]

It seems like the sort of thing a person might like if they were into cheeky moe comedy nonsense.

I have the whole series unplayed on my shelf so far until I get more game time but the lure of moe and comedy non-sense don't even register on the scale of reasons I'm going to play them. They look fun and there's been a severe lack of choice this generation when it comes to jRPG styled games. Trust me, I'd be more than happy to rid of this moe stigma.

 

[spirity]

Man, Tiara is soooo adorable. I want to just hug her to death.

I want this game so bad it hurts.

I don't get this. They all look the same. All of these girls, they're all identical, expect for the colour of their hair. Every single game, its the same girl, over and over.

What is it you see that I can't?

Moe

 

[Taruranto]

They had to resort to use Amano and Uematsu names to make this different from their others 4545 moeshit products. You could switch some Neptunia screenshots in there and no one would see any difference.

Awful.

oh, i didn't mean to say "moe comedy non-sense" like it is a bad thing. That's the entire reason i bought mk2. to me that equals fun.

 

[honorless]

The weirdest thing is that despite the label, this seems slightly more mainstream than Neptunia because there is actually a dude as part of the main cast. At least it's on the periphery of my interest right now. I'm sure that'll change when a video surfaces and it turns out the humor/cast is just as obnoxious.

Tsunako's art is polished and all (there are plenty of people working on higher profile games with shittier draftsmanship) but it's pretty boring seeing their (her?) art in yet anotheerrrr Compile Heart game. :|

 

[cjkeats]

Looks awesome. Count me on board.

 

[Esura]

You'd like V's even more.

What is it you see that I can't?

Well their hairstyle, color of eyes, shape of eyes, physique, bust size, is all different. They do seem to suffer from the same shape of face syndrome but its hardly noticeable unless you look real close.

Have you ever gotten that sense of euphoria when you look at something and you just can't help but squeal on the inside? Like eating a favorite food or someone telling you that you look nice, or whatever. That positive, indescribable positive sensation that leaves you feeling all warm inside? That's what I get from looking at her. Its hard to explain what I see that gets me all riled up. If I could only let you borrow my eyes for but a spell....

I do believe what you just described is the feeling of moe. It feels all fuwafuwa and great.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

When the initial announcement of Amano's involvement was made, I thought there actually be evidence of that somewhere in the end result. Silly me.

 

[nailbombxx]

Really like the monster designs.

 

[Esura]

I do believe what you just described is the feeling of moe. It feels all fuwafuwa and great.

Feels so damn good. I get a better high off cute anime girls than I could ever get off stuff like marijuane.

I love your avatar.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

The tears are going to be glorious.

I was right!

 

[tiggerkiddo]

That last piece of artwork is looking pretty spiffy. Give me more of that!

 

[SougoXIII]

I might consider getting V at some point.

I get moe, I really do. But I prefer moe to be a side-dish rather than a main course. I can't take anything seriously otherwise. And Neptunias are really long games if you for all the endings.

 

[Verelios]

I hate myself for wanting this. I've bought every single Neptunia game and have not played a single one.

Compile heart, why do you torture me so!?

From what I gather, a lot of fans love Tsunako's art though. BTW she's the lady on the left.

[twentytwo22]

Looks good imo, as long as it doesn't get any more moe.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I'm more excited for the soundtrack than the game. This is a perfect example of talent being channeled to all the wrong places.

 

[cjkeats]

I was right!

Stop talking to yourself.

 

[SMT]

I love it! Bring it over, or make me learn Japanese.

 

[Brokun]

I'm not big on moe, but this is looking good. Dat turn based battle system.
