Releases October 5th, 2010



Not a remake or reimagining. Brand new game from Matrix, the guys who did the FF III and IV DS remakes, Avalon Code, and Nostalgia. Focus is on job changing and dress up. Character design is very cute.

Famitsu scored it 33/40.

I love the concept art, but not really digging the ingame graphics. How was this received in Japan?

I love the concept art

Tell me about it. I want a game that looks just like that! In HD, too, why not. I can dream.

We can all dream. We can all dream.

It sounds like Dragon Quest IX, but terrible.

Reading over the Wikipedia page, Diff is right - It does sound a lot like DQIX, but with structured characters.

I did find this screen shot interesting, though:


The wikipedia page mentions that instead of MP you have "boost points," which I'm assuming are those little dots over the HP, and everything uses them - kind of giving me a CCG resource managing kind of vibe.

I dunno, could be interesting.

i'm a little more excited about this over etrian 3. the bits of music i've heard are very fitting and kind of have a retro/chip tune feel. the simple graphics and character designs are right up my alley as well. one thing i remember reading somewhere that the game was kind of difficult in a weird way. like...you need to hold spell books or something to cast spells, but they take up inventory space...and your inventory space is very limited per character. iunno. it's like that in dragon quest but i've gotten used to having x99 of everything in ff games. i probably won't be able to play this until november, though.



so cute.

so cute.

That soundtrack is going to put me over the edge to buy this. ;_;

[Salsashark]

I really loved this game, don't understand the Japan/importer hate for it at all.

That's it, i have to get it now.
