Okay. Count me just slightly surprised at the response to Forever Blue.

1. What the hell is it
2. Why did they like it
3. How much did each get for the review

#1- Pretty cool, I wonder if the first two Everblue games scored that well.

#2- Whoa. Hopefully it's not Guilty Gear related. Would be interesting to see what else Arc is capable of.

That's amazingly high for Forever Blue. I'm not sure what Famitsu gave Everblue 2, but I don't think ANY American reviewer gave it much higher than 7.5 or so. It was a great idea with a somewhat flawed execution... so to hear that Forever Blue is a very well realized version of the Everblue concept is awesome.

Just watching the 'gameplay' vids for Forever Blue makes it a must have for me. So great that it's still coming out this year.

I wonder if the Arc System Works game is another Guilty Gear spin-off?

With Guilty Gear 2: Overture they seem to be making some roads into expanding the series' story.

Reviewer 1: I keep playing and I haven't been killed. I think I actually cannot be killed at all. This game is now my favorite.
Reviewer 2: this game is really blue; I find that I like the blue. Don't you like blue too?
Reviewer 3: I don't know what game this is, but look at the zeroes on this check!
Reviewer 4: Forever Blue is kinda boring shit, but Iwata-san will get mad at me if I give it a 6.

I'm reading things over and it appears that the Arc System Works' DS adventure game is Hoshigami Adventure: Ruining Forever Blue.

Get excited!

Doesn't change the fact that it uses spot shadows and looks like a DC game

I can't believe this is even being considered as an excuse. Tales of Innocence is a ****ing DS game and it still looks at worst on par with this. It's a good thing the Wii game is out in '08 'cause the amount of polish this needs is ridiculous.

I take it from the top right screenshot of the tales wii scan that the game has no overworld map? it seems you just point to wherever you want to go....
It would suck if I'm right......somebody, ease my fears!

Forever Blue's score perplexes me. It didn't seem like the kind of game to give 10s and 9s to.

You clearly don't understand Famitsu's formula for reviewing games. It's mostly an actuarial thing but if a reviewer is really hardcore sometimes he or she will actually play one.

Famitsu loves this virtual simulation stuff.
