Is there any other game coming out today that I might care about?
Nope! None!

Nope! Nothing! Cancel all plans, get a baby sitter if you have kids, or get kids if you have a baby sitter because Japanese Role Playing Game Pleasure (JRPGP) is going to fly at your face so fast you're going to say something like "That was fairly fast."

Can I maybe get some more information and artwork?

The game is being developed by Furyu in conjunction with multiple staff members who have worked for Square Enix and Level-5 in the past. It is scheduled for release on January 22, 2015.

The game plays as a Japanese role-playing video game.

many journalist

FuRyu's output is pretty awful.

I was lead to believe that Unchained Blades was a good game (by GAF) never again.

I never bought the one they localized because i thought we wouldnt get the 2nd one, and i was right

Takao posted a link to an article with the scan in the other topic about this game. Looks a bit Bravely Default-esque in terms of art style.

It will never leave Japan, don't even bother hyping this up.

Sad because it looks really nice.

The music is so epic, ugggggh.

I saw the scans. The main illustration seems drawn by Tomomi Kobayashi. Also, you can select a character between 7 protagonists? This seems like a SaGa inspired game...

Divine Divinity takes the cake.

My thoughts exactly.

It isn't.

 

[Hasemo]

A few hours of footage from an unofficial stream can be found here and here.

I bet the game is going to be terrible and boring.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I had high expectations from this thread and goddammit RK, you surpassed them.

Buying tomorrow. Will post thoughts then.

Going to fucking yell at you so much in Line.

 

[apricot]

oh, they did Unchained Blades?? ... oh

Happy birthday tho.

From what I watched, load times seem super good, and the music is incredible.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Time to clear some space in my SD card for this game. Pretty sure I'll play this for 1 or 2 hours then goes straight into my backlog bin lol

Let me tell you a story about a little gem called Exstetra...

How bout you don't, say you did, and we can all move on from that nightmare?

Pretty please?

I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing that one.. .personally.. .

 

[SliceSabre]

Saw someone doing a stream of it earlier this morning. Game looks so much fun to play. I certainly understand where the Bravely Default visual comparisons come from.

FROGS!

Don't forget my quote:

This game is way too Doritos and not enough Mountain Dew, and way sexier than Bayonetta 2. Will buy 2 months ago.

Where is my cheque?/10

[Benzychenz]

Brilliant OT, gave me a few chuckles. Love the GAF quotes.

 

[è£ ç”²æ‚ªé¬¼æ‘æ­£]

As soon as someone confirms that there is no Battle/Event Rank shitshow which punishes you for just fighting random battles and makes you miss a bazillion sidequests I might buy this.

I basically just need confirmation that this isn't as SaGa as it looks.

 

[Bulbasaur]

Frog makes me have some interest.

Also I enjoyed that read, well played.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Loved the OT, lol.

Furyu said those games were design to appeal to young players.

Legend of Legacy was designed to cater to more experienced players, who enjoyed JRPGs in the 90s.

Completely different team and approach.

Heathenistic blasphemer. Those who reject the glory of the Ever-Present God Kawazu shall forever find their LP below max. May your wheel always spin poorly!

No, but seriously, what the hell, Minstrel Song.

 

[kuroneko0509]

It's up on eShop. 6522 blocks needed.

 

[Faustek]

Holy hell. This is really a SaGa game just not dickriding a name.

Romancing SaGa on the PS2 system? Foes get stronger the more you defeat?

If this doesn't come west I'll be at a loss of the meaning of life.

 

[Aeana]

I need this game to be good. I miss regular RPGs.

 

[TurnipFritters]

I'm still not really sure how I feel about Pop Up being used as an aesthetic, but the Romancing SaGa 1 atmosphere will hopefully compensate for it.

Also the OP has a shameful lack of Tomomi Kobayashi art.

 

[Labadal]

Watching the stream Hasemo linked to despite knowing any Japanese. The music. <3

People actually move around in town. The town music, it is made out of pure love.

The victory fanfare... yes... yes...

Haha, streamer just entered Ruins of Valley.

Boss in Fire Cave Theme. My ears are melting.

Froggy died! Why??? Fire boss a frog hater confirmed. Froggy dead again. Froggy got the finishing blow.

The OT and this post have me in stitches. That said, this game looks utterly amazing. I really enjoyed what I saw of it in the streams over the past two nights.

 

[apricot]

Thought it worth mentioning that my only experience with the Saga series was purchasing Unlimited Saga day one on a whim because I liked JRPGs and thought it looked cool. THAT WAS FUN. Loved the aesthetic tho

 

[IrishNinja]

this...this is a mighty fine OT you've got here

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Haha! Yes!

Top quote in the OP.

If this is localized, I'll buy it. Looks much better than Unchained Blades.

Unlimited SaGa was an abomination and punishment for us sinners.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Unlimited SaGa was an abomination and punishment for us sinners.

No, it was a test. And you, like many of us, failed. It's okay to fail, though. That is the ultimate lesson of our savior, Kawazu.

THIS JUST IN: I can't wait to go pick up my copy today.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Competitor for best OT of 2015 already? Dang.

Localization when? &#65288;&#12288;´&#12539;&#969;&#12539;&#65344;&#65289;

Anyone have actual impressions on the game yet?

 

[RevenantKioku]

Literally just got my copy. Will report in a while.

 

[Burt]

I've never heard of this game and only clicked in because of the fantastic OT subtitle.

Now, I'm going to go to bed very confused, and hope I can make sense of this thread in the morning.

 

[Chaos17]

More rpg for 3DS is always welcome.
I hope it will be translated, it looks interesting.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Hopefully the game doesn't get weird at chapter 5.

 

[RevenantKioku]

It's so SaGa.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Didn't know it has built in screenshot feature

 

[Sesuadra]

*subscriped*

if you guys like it, I'll probably import...but I am reaaaally tight on money and did not plan to buy a game before march ;_;

 

[RevenantKioku]

HP refills at the end of battle.
But.
Get knocked out and the character takes damage to their Max HP. They can be targeted while unconscious.
This damage can be restored at inns or camps, and I assume via items I haven't obtained yet.

Since stat gain is SaGa like, some battles might end with no gains, no drops or no HP damage. But since things could be happening behind the scenes, it might not mean the battle was "pointless".
