Very nice looking. That one boss reminds me of Where the Wild Things Are.
Pretty awesome, but as beautiful as it is, I won't consider this unless a non-moon language version comes out.
Atlus already showed it, so i guess they have it.
I predict Grim Grimoire will be the better of this year's Vanillaware games.
I don't care. I want it all. Give it to me. NOOOOOW!
A non-moon language version is coming out.Quote:

No way.
EU or NA?
Mexico.

So, uhh... it looks nice, but what kind of game is this? TBRPG?
If it's a sequel to Princess Crown it should be a Side-Scrolling RPG.
Localizations of Odin Sphere, Growlanser V, or any other potential property do not exist until Atlus USA officially announces them. Partial announcements, release dates posted at Game Fly or ebgames.com, or trademark rights registered at uspto.gov do not count. Until they say so.Quote:

Maybe. If they say it was.Quote:

Any chance of the PSP Princess Crown coming out too, regret selling my Saturn version figuring it would be a no-brainer release. *-neoQuote:

NA. This was never not coming out over here. I think, with this game, even if SCEA tried to deny it, Atlus would bomb them. But I don't think even SCEA is that stupid.Quote:

The art direction is fucking awful.

lol I could never understand why people do that.Quote:

Wow, I am liking how this thread is developing.
lol @ doshi
Got to agree with SoK. I'm sure the animation is fantastic and it's always nice to see new 2D games with a lot of effort put into them, but here it's wasted on pseudo-gothloli shit. It's like a masterfully made golden statue of K-Fed picking his nose.
I like it.
Sony sucks. How are they in a position to reject PSP content, anyway? And where are the European publishers now that we need them?Quote:

This doesn't look good at all.

Man, I wish 2D never died.
Only 2 months 'til Japanese release? Sounds like an import to me.
I would have this game's children.
Since Atlus USA has stated they'll release OS in "late spring 2007," it'd be reasonable to assume that the US debut will be very shortly after if not coinciding with Japan's. Plus, Gamestop is listing May 21 as the US date.Quote:

If only the Dracula X remake looked like THIS instead of assy 3D. :(
The game's been dated for release on May 29th here in the States. Still so many good PS2 releases.
Oh shit... I completely missed this. When's the Japanese release date?
I think just a week beforehand.Quote:

Not even a week's difference.Quote:
ODIN SPHERE’S SPHERE OF INFLUENCE GROWS:
WORLDWIDE RELEASE & BILINGUAL OPTION ANNOUNCED!
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — APRIL 17, 2007 — Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Atlus unleashes a wave of new information about Odin Sphere, the impressive-looking action-adventure game designed exclusively for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. You won’t have to wait much longer to get your mitts on this one; the game’s release date has finally been set—May 22nd! That’s right, Odin Sphere is shipping in the US hot on the heels of the May 17th release of its Japanese counterpart! With pre-sales in Japan exceeding even the highest expectations, this title is sure to be a chart-topper here as well, so get your pre-orders in today!
And that’s not all! Atlus has spared no expense on the localization. Odin Sphere offers players their choice of fully voiced dialogue: English or the original Japanese! Lose yourself in this intricately spun tale, performed by some of Japan’s top voice talent and brought to life by an impressive English voice cast! Sure to appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers, the game also offers a variety of difficulty levels. Featuring over 40 hours of gameplay, five playable characters and beautiful hand-drawn artwork, Odin Sphere is an epic tale of power, loss, and love that you won’t want to miss!
Fuck I may have to get this considering I haven't touched my PS2 in ages.
atlus-chan, wo ai ni.
日本語を使わないでよ。
Needs more desu.
<wood>
This month's (May) issue of Play has a big feature on Odin Sphere. They give it a 10--OLOLOLOLPLAYSUCKSTHEYCREAMOVEREVERYTHINGLOLOLOL! Yeah, yeah, pipe down there.
Damn, this game looks hot. I love the way it looks, I'm going to be all over it when it comes out. It just might pry me away from Oblivion.
Edit: Preordered, god I hope the gameplay doesn't suck.
Damn i wish this was coming out on the 360.
Preordered. The videos that I've seen for this have got me all hot and bothered and it's been a long time since I've been excited about the release of anything video game related.
Same for me.Quote:

A side note, I went to eb/gamestop site to see if they mentioned an art book with preorder, but I saw nothing. Nothing except this...
You know, all those Valkyrie Profile clones just laying around. Just everywhere, everywhere you look it's a VP clone.Quote:

Not going to pre-order, but I am going to give this a try. And I hate JRPGs.
No no, that's all well and good. I'd pay for an art book for this game, though. It just seems like an art book released at the same time as the game (regardless if it cost more or was just a bonus) would be a logical extension, considering that one of the main things this game gets attention for is the artwork.Quote:

I came.
So did I.
Why is it a brand-new, untested IP can get this treatment, but Castlevania can't?
No shit. I guess we can rule out Sony being the problem now as well. No way does this have more pull than Castlevania.
Well, it's an RPG, so it's all but guaranteed to sell more copies in Japan than any Castlevania, and may indeed have more pull.
It's an action-brawler with RPG elements. Big, melodramatic story and side-scrolling monster-smacking gameplay. It's close enough to the same genre as Castlevania to make no difference.
James
Japan doesn't count, anyway.
Because they can low-ball it for handhelds and get just as much sales for it.Quote:

Michael Donahoe is hot.
That may be so, but he needs to stop saying like so fucking much.
Yeah. I agree.
And this game looks amazing. I'm going to get it for sure. Never thought I'd see the day where I buy a new release.
Some brief first impressions. This is my first new purchase in about a year, and I'm very happy with it. I'm shocked it's getting a western release so soon, but that's definitely a good thing.
Does the game support 16:9 and/or 480p, Gaijin?
Nope, neither. In fact, there's no settings screen until in the game. When you start a new game, you choose your difficulty setting. That's it. Within the game you can change a few things. Audio, and the color of the text bubbles for one.
Many progressive scan PS2 games require the player to hold Triangle and X on bootup to enable it. That doesn't work either?Quote:

This ships today. I'm fired up. New, domestic, 2D, console games are so rare these days that each one has to be treasured if it is good.
Really pumped for this also, and with my 360 out to pasture for a while, there's nothing to distract me.

The only reason I'd play it on the 360 is because I wouldn't finish it on my PS2. As much as I loved the thing in its time, it just looks like shit on my television set.
Agreed, but I'll trade graphical bells and whistles for great controls. It will also support 480p on the PS3.Quote:

How's the language barrier in Princess Crown?
I pre-ordered Odin Sphere but cheaped out on the shipping. :sweat: I expect I won't actually have it till next week.
Princess Crown isn't too difficult to stumble through. You may need an FAQ for certain sections but progressing is fairly easy(just follow the roads and check out new areas when they open up)
Problem is the only FAQ available on gamefaqs only covers Gradriel(the main character), it doesn't say anything about the sub-characters you can play as after beating the game with her(they all have their own storylines, though they're quite a bit shorter than the main's)
But yeah aside from a couple dumb areas(in one part of the game you have to pretty much run in circles through three different towns to trigger the next event and you actually have to go back and REPEAT an entire dungeon just to fight a new boss) Princess Crown shouldn't be too hard to get through.
Thanks. I'll consider this. Lord knows I don't have enough domestic games I need to finish.
OMG, i cannot wait, this game looks FOKIN AWESOME.....Guess i won't be going outside for a while.
Game looks gorgeous. If it plays good, looks like Friday will be Etrian Odyssey and Odin Sphere day for me.
I'm wishing I sprung for overnight shipping. Tomorrow seems so far away.

It'll only be in stores you should avoid today. Buy it tomorrow at Target or Best Buy.
