Too pricy. Should have been a DS game? "/

I haven't bought a game in a while, maybe I'll get this?

 

[TheSeks]

I really hope this gets localized by Capcom US (haha, fat chance). This looks really intresting and GOOD.

Oh, and BoF art. <3 <3 <3

 

[Oichi]

I'm in on this. I already passed the 60 hour mark on Peace Walker, and need another portable game to play on my way to work.

 

[Aeana]

I feel like the chances are actually pretty decent for a US release. Capcom is usually pretty good about that.

 

[duckroll]

On one hand, they announced Okamiden and Ghost Trick for US release, and haven't mentioned anything about Last Ranker. On the other hand, those games likely have way less text and no voice work, so Last Ranker could just be taking longer. Maybe they'll announce it later this year when they actually have an English trailer?

World Destruction was 5980 yen for DS. I'm sure it would have been the same for this game, too.

 

[Shouta]

Speaking of BoF, we need more of it after TLR.

There's a site update today. The 4 chapter prequel web novel by Nojima is complete now: http://www.capcom.co.jp/LR/novel/



There's a new character shown here too: http://www.capcom.co.jp/LR/character/

Missy is a shrine maiden in village Zig and Faz grew up in, she's voiced by Kaori Nazuka! <3 <3

Also, it seems the E-Capcom Extended Edition LE is getting really good pre-orders. Too bad those aren't tracked by sales trackers in Japan....

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I totally forgot about this game!

*sigh* Hope this comes over here.

 

[RevenantKioku]

I just can't come to terms with the name "Zig" though. That's pretty much what's keeping me on the "Do not buy" fence.

 

[Steroyd]

Had 0 interest in this game, but your damn thread title... now I'm forced to check it out because you say has BoF influence? Poo.

THIS MAN SPEAKS THE GODDAMN TRUTH.

Came in because of BoF in the thread title came out hoping this game comes to western shores. Curse you and your awesome OP.

 

[Cheerilee]

Some serious loli underboob going on in the concept art.

Totally eliminated in the jump to CG.

 

[bluemax]

I'm saddened knowing that I'll most likely never get to experience this game in my native tongue.

 

[major_killjoy]

Yeh! The BoF-styled art is making me all teary eyed.

Anyways, is there any particular reason why this wouldn't get localized?

 

[duckroll]

Updates!

Last Ranker TV featuring Yoko Shimomura! http://www.capcom.co.jp/LR/lrtv/

The web novel is now a fully voiced radio drama as well! http://www.capcom.co.jp/LR/drama/

 

[Aeana]

Still watching, but this is really cool.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Wait, this is "Last Ranker", not "The Last Ranker", right? So it's LR, not TLR. TLR is The Last Remnant, dammit.

 

[Aeana]

I liked when she called the LR team a bunch of idiots.

 

[duckroll]

I think it depends heavily on her posture. In some of the realtime scenes you can make out a very similar look to the concept art in terms of how her top seems to be insufficient coverage for her boobs, especially when she is bending backwards or stretching her body. The only time her top seems to completely cover her boobs is when she's standing normally, or bending forward.

Battle Medley - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBR9jwI4b-Q

First time I see this video. Looks so great.

It's probably the best looking RPG outside of Kingdom Hearts and maybe Crisis Core and I'm glad Imageepoch/Capcom put a big budget behind this game because I was getting tired of ports, 2d games a low budget rpgs. Not that those are bad games but having great graphics is always a plus.

Spoiler

Too bad is going to bomb :/

Some artwork I extracted from the recent website update:

 

[Onion_Relish]

You know what? I just want to give a big shout out to Capgod for being such a wonderful company. They bring us all sorts of new and interesting games as well as sometimes mining their archives for old gems to bring to the light of day. I cant imagine my life without capcom, and to a lesser extent EA, Konami and Square(Enix)

But yeah, Capcom is head and shoulders above the rest.

 

[Pureauthor]

Huh. Pretty odd looking shirt.

 

[manofmandango]

Not going to lie. This game looks fuggin weird. But I'm interested.

 

[chicken_ramen]

That staff list too this game from not on my radar to day 1 purchase. 11 days to go.

 

[Pureauthor]

BTW, duckroll. At any point will you gain allies or party members or whatever, or is it a 'you against the world' thing?

 

[Aeana]

You don't get any party members.

 

[duckroll]

Story-wise I'm sure there will be allies and friends, but for battles the entire game is just a Zig adventure. That's why customization is supposed to be very important, since you can't spread stuff out across a party to have an overall rounded team.

 

[yencid]

ducky, ^ should be your new avatar. Im going To say it again, lovely art.

 

[duckroll]

That's a good idea...

 

[hxa155]

i wish i could speak japanese

 

[Jerk]

Good art ftw

Really?

 

[Urban Scholar]

I hope the wait for an official release of the art works won't be too long.

edit: It's official 2 weeks and counting until release.

 

[yencid]

I think it depends on which ones we are talking about.

These look amazing:

These look like drek:

 

[yencid]

i think they all look great

for some reason this outfit reminds me of wakka :lol

 

[Pureauthor]

Um... varied, colourful and largely unique character designs look like drek?

Lookit that fat pimp dude with the awesome hat and the glowing red eyes!

I see but honestly it all looks the same to me, very visually appealing.

I think it's supposed to. That's the tribal outfit everyone seems to wear in Zig's village.

His eyes are not glowing. He only has one real eye, the right eye is a ruby.

 

[Augemitbutter]

love the colorful artwork. keep em coming!

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Not going to lie. This game looks fuggin weird. But I'm interested.

I say that about every JRPG not named Dragon Quest or Demon's Souls!

 

[Gazel Ministry]

This game looks absolutely stunning! If there was ever a spiritual successor to Breath of Fire, this would be it! The artwork, the videos I have seen, everything I have been reading about this game sounds awesome. There is a total Ryu vs. Fou-Lu thing going on in some of those shots, I love it! Please, please, let this game get localized!

 

[Einherjar]

Argh clicking on this thread probably wasn't a good idea. Now I'm tempted to import and play through this painfully slowly with a kanji dictionary open lol. God I hate kanji.

 

[duckroll]

The official site has updated with chapter 2 of the voice drama, and the TV commercial for the game.

Edit: TVCM is on youtube now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=636Qyj4amiw
