I had no idea this was coming to the PS2.

 

[IJoel]

This looks like FFXI.

 

[Tabris]

This looks like FFXI.

It does? Reminds me more of a darker FFX. Actually, kind of looks like FFXII also.

Yep it's closer to FFXII...From the screens it actually looks better. I wonder how good the animation is?

 

[dark10x]

Oh wow, that looks so much better than the original PC game (which is a totally different game).

 

[adam20]

this looks great for ps2. i wish something like this was coming to the xbox. it just screams ''japan'' style rpg. I love the character designs. yum

 

[adam20]

wow I am officially going to call this the best looking ps2 game of all time. yes i am making a statement. not opinion. ultra fact. no one can say otherwize. :O

games like gt4 never impressed me. bland and pale like most ps2 games. this is art here. incredible. that girl in the first pic is holding some kind of munchkin. that in itself is priceless.

 

[Kuroyume]

Best looking PS2 game of all time... LOL

 

[belgurdo]

I still find it odd that everyone and their mother knows about Magna Carta PC from the art, but NOBODY talks about the gameplay. I hope someone actually imports this one and tells us about it.

 

[Belfast]

Well.....its in Korean and hard to get?

 

[Bizarro Sun Yat-sen]

Is this still a Korean-developed game? The text is all in Japanese...

 

[jett]

Looks really good, and it does seem to look better than FFX/XII. At least it has accurate shadows at all times.

I think so, but its being tailored for a JP release and, hopefully, an eventual US one, too.

 

[Ronin]

I love the artwork, but I want to know if the game is any good.

Well, I played some Magna Carta and, quite frankly, I was unimpressed with the gameplay.

The visuals look very poor in motion, for starters. The animation is terrible and the performance was simply not very good at all. The actual game world seemed a bit dull and the battle system was not interesting to me (during the very short period of time that I was able to mess with it). Part of the problem is that I can not read any Korean and was unable to play the game properly (thankfully, this sequel is written in Japanese so I can now play it sometime).

Honestly, the only things that left any impact on me were the intro movie and the music (I also have the soundtrack).

I seriously hope this PS2 game ends up being decent...

 

[Dagless M.D.]

christ, they're still pumping out good visuals from the PS2

 

[Alex]

It'd look like FFXI if FFXI had utterly abysmal art work. Sorry, you'll never be able to convince me that MC's character designs, espically the females, are worth piss. I'd even take Nomura over it any day of the week.

 

[MetatronM]

Yeah, I have a trailer for this on a Famitsu disc from a week or two ago. Basically all CG but still pretty cool. I hope it turns out well. It certainly is looking very nice.

If you rip the trailer I'll try to host it.

 

[Insertia]

Wow, after seeing the screens I instantly knew it was based on that Korean art someone posted a while back. It's very faithful to the art, looks amazing too.

 

[ferricide]

my friend put a couple of hours into the PC version a couple years ago and came back intensely unimpressed with the gameplay. unbalanced, tedious, badly done transitions between areas, etc. apparently it initially had great sales in korea but they tapered off really quickly because of the gameplay sucking, too (he got this straight from the korean publisher's PR.)

hoping that the PS2 version has been rebalanced/had these things addressed. i am pretty sure it'll come out here, given how it looks.

 

[jiggle]

This looks so good. I don't care even if it plays like Beyond the Beyond, I'd still play thru the entire game just to see everything.

Bah... you just hate on androgynously and often overfeminized characters.

Given that... Magna Carta... and it's lead artist HTK is one of the best anime style artists around IMO. Although his designs with accessories are often overly extravagant, and takes away from the overall design.

Saw the trailer for this game (MC on PS2)... was looking pretty good... with a pretty decent animation system.

As for the gameplay... well... it might be good.

 

[Suikoguy]

i'm lost.

This is a Korean RPG?
Is it coming out in English?

Originally a PC game from a Korean developer.

They are porting this game to the PS2 for Japan(and Korea?) with added contents, and from I can tell, redesigned characters. No US localization announced yet.

 

[Zaptruder]

I think this is a new magna carta game for the PS2... not a remake of the original MC.
