Star Galaxy is a massively multiplayer simulation game set in outer space. Up to 2,000 people can fight on one gigantic battlefield. Players act as a planet’s commander in chief by managing resources, infrastructure, and power sources. You can develop your base by adding buildings and secure resources by taking over other planets. A navigator character will help during the simulation parts and battles use cards that represent units. Cards can level up and gain new skills.

It does look very nice actually, visualy I mean. People were wrong thinking Square Enix (or anyone else) could announce an AAA project for console on a countdown site and far from any major event. Don't blame Square Enix, but just you. Do we know who's the STAFF working on this and if there is any chance for it to release here in the west? Call me interested in any case.

Yeah, this really does look/sound reasonably interesting, even as a browser game. It's a shame that as a result we probably won't see it over here at all.

Though I guess it could also be too blatantly freemium, and thus nothing big will be missed.

I feared the worst when I saw "Japanese browser game for Yahoo" in the title, but that actually does look pretty good for a browser game. Shame we'll never play it.

I like to know how big the teams are working on these, Is it more of Yahoo developed game or internally at Square Enix?

This looks like to have very nice production values for a browser game, Monster x Dragon had really nice art too.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Kinda expected that even if I got my hopes on Star Ocean, lol.

There's one more teaser to go (Theatrhythm)!

Time to update the list:

Looking at the images it seems to me like a space version of the f2p samurai & dragons for vita, there is the city building part:
samurai-dragons-003.jpg


the map/conquest part:
samurai-dragons-103_0.jpg


the card part:
samurai-dragons-006.jpg


but it lacks the incredibly hard(for me at least, i don't understand the japanese, so it could be my fault) dungeon part:
samurai-dragons-115.jpg


Sega give me a localized version :(

PS:
this is the first room of the first dungeon, there are only 2 or 3 skeletons, but i was never able to beat them(alone, never played multi)! :mad:

If there's one redeeming thing about browser games, it's that the internet isn't region locked, so wherever you live, if you can read Japanese you can play this.

Is it Yahoo or Yahoo Mobage?

Although I really don't know what the difference is. lol

It's straight up Yahoo. I made an account yesterday for the beta test. Why am I trying out the beta test for this game?

Also, I got caught up playing some S-E browser games last night, and the next thing I knew, it was 2 am.

Is this what growing old is?

Is it weird that I really like browser-based games? >.>

I have liked some, but it's been a rare thing. I still play Legend of the Green Dragon on occasion.

I'm playing Monster Dragon right now, and it seems pretty interesting. I can't say I'll play this for very long, but it's an interesting time waster.

Now, Minna de Quest? That seems awfully familiar. I think there was a mobage version of that game that I used to play when I lived in Japan. I was addicted to that.
