It was kinda lost in the Sony WRPG discussion, no? It probably deserves its own thread. Lock if not.

Sony has filed an application with the United States Patent & Trademark Office for "Destiny of Spirits." The March 26 application covers "computer game software; electronic game software for handheld electronic devices; video game software."

No further information is available and a Sony representative was not immediately available to comment.

Wow at that uninspired name...

Hydrogen Bluebird · Apr 1, 2013

New Vita game?

zerokoolpsx · Apr 1, 2013

Lame title for a new Vita game?

Hoo-doo · Apr 1, 2013

Handheld title then? Name sounds awesome.

Orayn · Apr 1, 2013

I hope it's a Sony original take on Demon's Souls, like Soul Sacrifice kind of was to Monster Hunter.

Makes it sound like yet another generic fantasy rpg that won't be worth playing or do anything different from the million other generic fantasy rpgs. Really poor name selection.

Angelus Errare · Apr 1, 2013

That's some shitty kerning yo.

StuBurns · Apr 1, 2013

I've already forgot the title.

Change it, seriously.

Mung · Apr 1, 2013

Wow everyone is always negative by default! And just based on the name too. You probably would have said the same hearing 'final fantasy' for the first time.

What exactly would an 'inspired' name, be?

JDSN · Apr 1, 2013

Wow, which name generator they used for it? It looks like the shooter one.
Destiny of Spirits: Honor of Duty.

Napalm_Frank · Apr 1, 2013

At least it isn't ''Destiny of Souls''

CaptainTiptop · Apr 1, 2013

Generic name. But if it's a WRPG for Vita, then that's cool.

Spiegel · Apr 1, 2013

Invizimals: Destiny of Spirits

Maybe

darkside31337 · Apr 1, 2013

It's really not any more generic of a name than Demon's Souls.

Curious as to what this one is about.

maltrain · Apr 1, 2013

It sounds like a RPG to me.

If thwy make a game as beautiful as Legend of the Dragoon... I'm in.

I'll take it and love everything about it if they actually made a new handheld RPG. Who cares about the name if they can actually make a good game with it, lol. New "Destinay of" series of RPGs to go along with the "Tales of" series.

Not Destiny of Spirits. That just sounds bog-standard.

erpg · Apr 1, 2013

In my mind, weird names equal JRPGs. Getting hyped.

Ha, I was just about to say this. Dark Souls is also a hella generic name. "Dark" anything is generic, really.

Right "Halo" is very inspired... or "Fable"... or "Lost Odyssey"... or whatever...

The important is the game, not the name.

darkwing · Apr 1, 2013

I am ready for Demon's Souls : Destiny of Spirits

BELIEVE!

It was trademarked by SCEA so I wouldn't count on it.

Wait, you're telling me Gears of War isn't an inspiring name?

x-Lundz-x · Apr 1, 2013

What about Spirits of Destiny?

iavi · Apr 1, 2013

Hopefully it's related to alcohol.

maltrain · Apr 1, 2013

Dead Prince · Apr 1, 2013

spiritual successor to Legend of Dragoon.

Definitely a JRPG.

Jinfash · Apr 1, 2013

Dark Spirits
Demon Spirits
Beyond Spirits
Spirits of War
Spiritmons
Spirits of Destiny
Wait... That last one is actually better lol.

What, Fate of the Soul sounds fantastic.

Psycho_Mantis · Apr 1, 2013

Please be an RPG.

Name is meh but will grow on people as most names do.

Totobeni · Apr 1, 2013

FolksSoul is the Japanese title for Folklore

Souls = Spirits

Destiny of Spirits = Folklore 2.

LuuKyK · Apr 1, 2013

The "inspired name" debate is pointless, it is very subjective if you like a name or not. Personally I love this cheesy names for example.

I think he is being ironic.

Haha, that was the first thing that I thought of as well.

Destitute of Spirits

Destiny of Souls

Density of Alcohol

Baconsammy · Apr 1, 2013

Blandness of Naming

Hoo-doo · Apr 1, 2013

Anyhow, does the description mean it's specifically for handheld or is it a generic description that's used for all patents of this nature?

Peter Bazooka · Apr 1, 2013

Super Destiny of Spirits

Final Fantasy XV: Destiny of Spirits?

punkmaggit · Apr 1, 2013

... I like the name ...

El Destino de los Espíritus.

Thank me later.

DLC for the Destiny game?

Seems to cover all bases, including handhelds.

Nope, it's the game your dead body goes to when you die in Destiny. Wait a minute, that's a great idea for a new series of games. Patented.

Metaroo · Apr 1, 2013

I swear I did a double take. This definitely brings to mind the Souls games. Even the logo is eerily similar.

Ah, okay. Well, in fact, I think "on the paper", there are a few names really "inspired"... and many of them are already taken.

A few exceptions maybe are, for me, like "Watch Dogs", great name without knowing anything about that game.

Man-is-Obsolete · Apr 1, 2013

More vita games is welcome, and a Sony developed RPG would be awesome.
