So have they shown the PS3 version anywhere yet, or is this one also suffering from Bayonetta syndrome?

If it's even as good as VP2, it'll easily be the best tri-Ace game this generation once again. I won't be complaining! :)

I HATE the battle theme. Too bad :(

The fuck did I just watch?

What the fuck? Its Motoi and his fucking syntherizers! They are just AWESOME!

The idea is nice, but the execution looks kind of silly.
Some of those jumps and spins just end up looking weird and stupid.

ivedoneyourmom · (09-03-2009, 10:04 AM)

What the hell is this? Man, and I had high expectations from the damn videos with the extreme music, this just seems boring (and this is from someone that almost exclusively plays SRPGs, and turn based JRPGs).

Oh well, if they have a demo, I'll give it a try, until then, color me unimpressed.

That new video is interesting.
Before I was interested in the game just because of the concept of the story and the visuals, but the new video is making me like the gameplay too, altho I have some reservations.

Hydrargyrus · (09-03-2009, 01:00 PM)

I like the design and the graphics, looks great. But the sistem seems to be "orthopaedic" and the side scroll exploration like Valkyria Profile doesn't attract me so much, even with this short depth movement.

Error · (09-03-2009, 01:09 PM)

I think I came...

Barrels exploding lolllll. After Half Life 2 I'm sick of exploding barrels. The first part of the vid shows off invincible actions, I'm just wondering how and when can you activate those. I like how there's a wall that can be used for cover (it had HP).

The battle system looks sickkkkkkkkk

truly101 · (09-03-2009, 01:15 PM)

Maybe its just me but I think the battle system looks fun as hell. Then again I loved VP2's battle system and never grew tired of it, this seems like a logical progression to me. The jumps and flips don't bother me as it seems that tri-ace is just incorporating their own sort of "bullet time" acrobatics that a lot of 3 person action games have nowadays. Day 1 for me.

Error · (09-03-2009, 01:18 PM)

I like how they ganged up in one enemy. One lifted it into the air the other maintained it there and then the last one pushed it to the ground.

Ravidrath · (09-03-2009, 01:21 PM)

I'm guessing (hoping?) that won't be the length of a normal battle.

But that actually looked pretty interesting to me, if maybe a little clunky. Hopefully they can streamline it a bit and make it flow a little more smoothly, but I'd imagine a lot of that will just come from experience.

AtomskEater · (09-03-2009, 01:22 PM)

Battle video did look rather strange/boring, maybe it's something you have play to really understand. Even with awkward battle system and gray graphics I still have hope!

batbeg · (09-03-2009, 01:24 PM)

This... looks... soooo good. I am absolutely in love. And it finally feels like it's taking on it's own identity to me; before I was thinking "Hey, VP2 with guns, awesome!" Now it's more just like "Hey, awesome manifest!"

I also love the ridiculous amount of shit on the HUD and popping up

And unusually for me, I really like the sound of the Japanese VAs. Sega, do no disappoint: get a good English cast together!

This would obviously be more effective as a gif. Someone get on it.

Obviously they wanted to make it lenghty so they could show off the battle engine. It works like VP2, enemy leader killed=battle over.

LiquidMetal14 · (09-03-2009, 01:49 PM)

That looks like a mess. I don't understand everything that's going on. Lots of quick cutting. Nowhere near as good as some of you say.

I know it's Tri-Ace but they haven't exactly been on fire this gen. I'm more interested in the exploration and locations anyways.

SUPPRESSION!

Llyranor · (09-03-2009, 01:59 PM)

Looks more interesting than the previous combat video they showed.

Just glanced through it quickly, but it seems you select a path for a char to run through, and select enemies in the way you can shoot, and enemies who you're near can also shoot you back.

matmanx1 · (09-03-2009, 02:07 PM)

I liked it. Technically it still looks very solid with no tearing and a consistent framerate. I don't understand everything I'm seeing but I at least am intrigued.

Dedication Through Light · (09-03-2009, 04:04 PM)

If her name is ReanBell, she is definitely my favorite. The moves are so wicked. I think it is unfortunate that those enemies do major damage while the party seems restricted to weak attackts that slowly descrease the enemies HP.

I didnt know the environments, or at least, pieces of it were able to be destroyed

diztrukted · (09-03-2009, 04:07 PM)

I, surprisingly liked the video too, I think it has a lot of potential i just hope that tri-ace decides to not use the the same battle theme over and over again. Many JRPG's fall victim to that. (pokemon red & blue comes to mind)

KTallguy · (09-03-2009, 04:17 PM)

It's... interesting

Looks like there is some potential :) Go Tri Ace!

Llyranor · (09-03-2009, 04:56 PM)

Watched the video again (no sound :( ), few notes:

Icons at the bottom seem to represent party action points. One move = bar goes down. It seems to go back up when you do special things like blowing up barrels or do big damage. Not sure exactly what it entails.

Seems you can determine movement range and select targets before initiating the turn. You can also see enemies' range (eg. the wolf) depending on your location.

Yellow bar on the lower right (on the character bar) depletes as your turn goes by, and seems to determine how much/often you can attack.

On two occasions, the girl's movement line is replaced by a triangle connecting the 3 chars, which seems to trigger some sort of combo attack involving all 3 against one enemy.

Definitely sounds interesting, but more details are required. It could potentially be pretty tactical, depending on what other factors are involved.

velvet_nitemare · (09-03-2009, 06:00 PM)

They might wanna tone down all those flips.

Die Squirrel Die · (09-03-2009, 06:30 PM)

Combat system looks like an interesting mix of turnbased and realtime elements. If it's anything like VP2, I'll probably have to play for 10 hours to get my head around it, then restart.

chaostrophy · (09-03-2009, 07:48 PM)

Battles look awesome. I'd like to see more exploration footage though. All that's been shown of that is the hex grid and a couple of seconds of running through that city, right? The VP games have such awesome, epic dungeon designs, I hope EoE carries on that tradition!

Dedication Through Light · (09-04-2009, 02:46 AM)

I loved the flips, it adds a certain charm to the girls moves. Though it seemed like you could continue to put in commands, or at least do them, as long as you didnt touch the ground. If only English wasnt my only language.

Rpgmonkey · (09-05-2009, 12:00 AM)

Battles look like a lot of fun. I liked the little combo and the "SMACKDOWN" thing, and it's cool to see a cover system. Hopefully really insane stuff happens around the end and in the bonus areas.

Not the greatest battle theme I've heard in a tri-Ace game though. :(

Shapingo · (09-05-2009, 12:04 AM)

The battle system reminds me of Front Mission. The town video looks amazing, please let there be a new Valkyrie Profile game on that engine.

duckroll · (09-10-2009, 07:28 PM)

The Famitsu article was pretty massive. 8 pages in all. The blog also updated with the Japanese voice cast for the revealed characters in the game so far. Can't translate now though, going to play some L4D soon. :(

Edit: Forgot to mention, the JP preorder bonus is a 10 track special soundtrack disc.

Error · (09-10-2009, 07:33 PM)

the article looks like a recap of everything we know so far. some nice pics nonetheless.

Excellent, but I expected as much after hearing him in one of the trailers

It's the voice actor for Lezard Valeth in Valkyrie Profile if anybody cares...

Yes, I like him a lot too. But he's terribly typecast.

MechaX · (09-10-2009, 10:16 PM)

I'm a little late to the party on this one, but that battle video was a little... eh. I'm not entirely changed to a doom-n-gloom stance for the game, especially since the video itself did show some pretty big glimmers of hope.

The combo attacks shown near the beginning of the video looked rather interesting. Doing "jump and do flips from one end of the screen to the other" pattern for the rest of the battle vid, not so much. This is giving me more of a VP2 vibe than ever before in the respect that the game is going to look awesome when played right and look like some really, tedious shit when played incorrectly. Specifically, if you were not doing team combos in VP2 all of the time (with some small exceptions), you were playing the game wrong. Here, I could see the real focus of the game being some really crazy team combos.

∀ Narayan · (09-10-2009, 10:34 PM)

That battle video was cool, but the flips don't really flow well consecutively.

RubyEclipse · (09-19-2009, 03:59 AM)

Howdy all,

As your resident SEGA Community guy, I bring some cool news - I'll be meeting with Tri-Ace for an interview in a little over a week, and I'd like to get you guys in on some of the questions.

I can't promise that I'll be able to ask them all, but I'll pull in as many as I can - you can submit them here. Oh, and that offer also extends for Valkyria Chronicles and Phantasy Star Zero, too. Time to dig up those threads and spread the word.

This comes as part of our growing community initiatives here at SEGA, and as a fellow fan I'm stoked to see it all coming together. If you have questions you'd like to ask the fine folk at Tri-Ace, this is your chance - enjoy!

do the questions need to be Resonance-related, or can we ask about stuff relating to the studio and their other products?

Resonance related, please. :)

They've offered to give up their time to help talk about the game, so I want to make sure the questions asked are primarily focused on that. But if you word it right, asking about differences or changes in Resonance as compared to earlier games could still definitely work.

Do I have to use the blog, or can I just ask here? ^^;
