New RPGs rock. Do want.

So glad Yoshikawa is getting more work, love his BOF stuff.

Official site it up: http://www.capcom.co.jp/LR/index.html

Edit: On 26th Sept at 4pm, there will be a special live stage event at TGS for Last Ranker. The voice actor for Zig will be there, and they will have new information about the game as well as the first trailer.

[Kagari]

:OOOOO Wow.

 

[jiggle]

let him change into a dragon and call it BoF!

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Damn, this sounds awesome. Only complaint so far is no party, but that'll probably end up as a minor inconvenience.

 

[lyre]

The information about the game so far sounds so unappealing to me, and now with the main character art showing up (in addition to the few screens in scans) the game looks unappealing as well.

I'm still hopeful this dream team will be able to make something that plays well despite the game description.

How worn out is that hat?

That capcom x rgp x psp seems so...I don't know pretentious. At the same time it's sad that a psp rpg has to be treated like a event, seeings how there are so few. I'll look into it.

 

[quinntendopower]

an RPG i might want to play. too bad my legs go numb after sitting on the toylotto for about 2 hours forgetting i'm playing PSP taking a dump and grinding levels, you know

 

[KTallguy]

I like the art! It does really look like Dragon Quarter!

 

[THE Caffeinated]

Looks awesome!

 

[Espada]

Whoa, I'm definitely looking forward to this. That last bit of media for the game that was just posted has got me craving for more

You can see a really short clip of Last Ranker in the theatre section. It's just a short 5 sec snippet of a CG FMV though.

 

[speedpop]

I really don't know if I should be excited for this or not.

 

[yurinka]

Oops sorry! :lol Yeah, I meant Yoko Shimomura


I haven't played 7th Dragon yet tho, was kinda waiting for an English version. Is a US release planned?

In Capcom, she was a member of Capcom's Alph Lyla music band and composed the OST of:
-Final Fight
-Street Fighter II
-Pang
...

Then she worked for Square Enix (after 2002 as a freelancer) in:
-Live A Live
-Front Mission
-Mario RPG
-Parasite Eve series
-Kingdom Hearts series
-Final Fantasy XIII
...

Pretty much all of Capcom's trademarks are for actual releases and not because they can.

 

[lorddarkflare]

Watanabe mostly. He assisted Nojima with the KH2 script, and he finished up FFXII after Matsuno left. He's a terrible writer.

I did not know that, hmm, this explains a lot.

 

[Shig]

So, sounds like turn-based with timed button presses? Fuck yeah, I'm all over that. Those type of battle systems make games like Shadow Hearts and the Mario RPGs a billion times more enjoyable than anything else in the genre for me.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

I did not know that, hmm, this explains a lot.

What, did you actually think Matsuno would write something bad? :lol

And why haven't I heard of this game til now?

 

[Duelist]

Will keep my eyes on this during TGS. Looking good so far.

Last Wanker

Zig (VA: Hiroshi Kamiya) - A hot blooded youth who grew up in a tribe of a wankers. He is dissatisfied with his life, and leaves the tribe to join the wanking guild in order to find his own inner strength and a purpose to his life. He seeks to be the strongest one of them all.

Anyway it would be nice if it was also on PS3. This generation sucks in the RPG department.

thats even funnier if you take into account his reinforced wanking glove

no it wouldnt and no it doesnt

 

[I should be doing hw]

...so the combat is just QTE's? Wtf who wants to play that bullshit.
Zig? Really? Fucking douchebag name and he's described as 'hotblooded', he already sounds like a cunt.
One character? Fucking lazy asshats at Capcom can't design more than 3 characters, and one looks like fucking Dante anyway, wtf is this? Zig May Zag or some bullshit? So I'm stuck looking at some douchebag, hotblooded cunts ass for what I'll assume will be 15-20 hours while he tries to be the Last Ranker? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, Capcom is spoon feeding 'hotblooded' feces into your whore mouths and you're fucking asking them for more! I can't get over how completely bullshit and terrible this game will be.

Spoiler

I'm kidding. Seriously.

 

[iconoclast]

Wow, somehow I hadn't heard of this game until just now. Pretty impressive staff list, and Marina Inoue is doing voice work. How can it not be awesome?

 

[TheSeks]

Sounds interesting. Has some big names from games that I enjoyed, so I'll look for this (if it's localized).

 

[Pumpkins]

Character designs look pretty horrible... why do so many jrpgs use 3d renders for their character art??

Idea of a single party member sounds interesting.

 

[Plywood]

I didn't think that Nojima and Shimomura were free agents. I would've thought Square would keep them tied down. Ah well, I'll keep an eye on this.

 

[Zengar]

Main char looks like Yuri Hyuga with a sword

 

[Kid Marin]

Capcom filed a trademark for Last Ranker in the U.S., a pretty good sign that Capcom is planning an international release.

[Drkirby]

Not sure what to think. The battle system doesn't sound all that great IMO, I don't really like how the main character looks, butthe brightly colored world gives me hope this will be something really good. What else has the people who are making this made?

 

[Kagari]

http://www.siliconera.com/2009/09/21/looks-like-last-ranker-is-going-international/

Interesting.

 

[duckroll]

Famitsu has a whooping 6 pages on Last Ranker this week. Looks like we'll be getting a pretty good look at the game from the TGS trailer. This time the preview has tons of screens and they're all realtime gameplay screens. The environments look good, and I really dig how when you talk to or meet other warriors, they all have mini-descriptions and a rank.

TGS trailer:

[duckroll]

Wow. Shit. Those are all the screens from Famitsu......... as floating pics in the trailer. :lol

I guess the game really isn't done yet. Interesting music though...

 

[Mejilan]

Bleh. CG and stills.

 

[Error]

maybe they want to save the gameplay footage for the stage event.

 

[Yoboman]

I don't know about you guys, but what really sold me was the static Famitsu pictures of gameplay flying across the screen

EDIT: Damn you Duckroll, stealing my crack

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

Maybe it's just me but it seems that when announcing portable games a lot of Japanese developers like to have trailers where they have 8 screens simultaneously showing game footage. But still pics is a new level I've yet to witness. Still from what I could tell it looks nice, but I'm not feeling the CG.

 

[Calcaneus]

Looks cool, but what a lame name. Last Ranker?

It's by Image Epoch, and they really, REALLY suck at CG/3D. This is actually a step up from Arc Rise Fantasia's CG FMV, which was a step up from World Destruction. They're really crappy at it. ^^;

 

[outunderthestars]

It's a JRPG. They are legally required to have stupid names.

 

[DarknessTear]

Yeahhhh! A video of screenshots! :lol

 

[Tamanon]

Looks interesting, but I still have no idea how the game actually might play, stupid stills in a trailer.

 

[MarzipaNMOS]

my attention was grabbed at "imageepoch". CG is still as horrible as ever, but after 7th Dragon and ARF, the gameplay has to have some weight to it.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

looks great
