Male gaze as fuck.

The decision to make them naked is questionable to begin with. But now that they've gone there, making the girl has the same pose as the boy wouldn't make it better, honestly.

 

[DangerMouse]

Still looking gorgeous. So hyped for this game.

http://13sar.jp/ site is up

That is a beautiful gif for the main page of the site.

 

[jipewithin]

I really hope they show gameplay soon. I'd really love some 2D flashy mecha action.

But they are in the same pose, it's just the camera angle that's different.

That overhead city bit was gameplay.

 

[Korigama]

Hm, having them naked instead of wearing suits to pilot sounds not only impractical, but even boring to me. Rather hoping that segment resembling an RTS isn't representative of gameplay (something like their other side-scrollers, but with mechs, would be more interesting).

EDIT: Definitely much less interested if that represents how the whole game plays.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Yar, sorry, that's what I meant. The girl having the same camera angle as the boy would not be a problem if they're clothed. But considering that they're naked, we'd get quite an explicit view of her bare breasts.

 

[Qvoth]

the genre in the official site says it's "dramatic adventure"
so yeah... not sure what i feel now
i think it's basically a very much story based adventure game with some tower defense combat

at least it's cool vanillaware is trying something new

 

[Chrono Helix]

The last part of the trailer where the girl hugs the guy, she says "it's been 40 years"

Story going to be insane confirmed.

In retrospect, this makes sense considering the first two trailers. If the game had any sort of action gameplay, they would have teased it in some shape or form.

 

[Zaru]

I was fantasizing about a game idea in recent months and this is basically the same concept except with highschoolers

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

"Dramatic Adventure" actually makes me more interested now. I hope there's crossbuy.

 

[kewlmyc]

Was expecting robot combat from a team that finally got good at hack n slash after the Odin Sphere remake, so hearing it might just be an adventure game is kinda lame. Not my preferred genre, but Inhote the story is good at least.

Also of course they pilot the mech naked.

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

This is not an action game??

 

[Kuro]

Are those middle school or high school uniforms? Fanservice with high school students is already bad enough with the small chance that they're at least 18 but middle school now?

 

[fortunato]

Yar, sorry, that's what I meant. The girl having the same camera angle as the boy would not be a problem if they're clothed. But considering that they're naked, we'd get quite an explicit view of her bare breasts.

Then put them some clothes on. It just seems a lazy excuse to sexualize the (very young) female character.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Still interested, but definitely less so if it's an adventure game.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Looks gorgeous but that is not a surprise. Looking forward to seeing more gameplay.

 

[Eolz]

Art looks amazing as expected from Kamitani. I wonder if this is gameplay:

Looked like gameplay to me.
First underwhelming Vanillaware game since a long time imo. They're going to have to do some serious convincing if they want me to buy it day 1. Seems closer to a VN with some weird strategy shooter on top of it this time.

 

[Jarmel]

I wonder if there's going to be a sexual tone to the story.

I really need to see how the game will actually play though. I would like the mech stuff to be interactive to some degree.

 

[JustJavi]

I have no idea what I just watched but the music is incredible.

 

[MoogleMan]

I need this. Right now.

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Naked :9


Bokurano? LOL

Great manga.

 

[daevious]

I wasn't expecting a mecha-themed Detention, but I'm definitely interested.

 

[Maebe]

This was looking so cool but they just had to have the kids pilot naked didn't they. But if it's top down gameplay I'm a less interested in that too

 

[MrBS]

Looking forward to seeing actual gameplay. Nice to see the game isn't dead.

 

[jj984jj]

Hope they clarify what this is at TGS.

 

[wapplew]

Dating sim by VW, dream comes true.
Can't be more hype.

 

[Yohane]

Feels like I've been waiting for 10 years already.

Don't know about the tower defense part, but otherwise that sounds very appealing to me. I'm glad they're doing something different and not abiding by the side-scrolling brawler formula this time.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

Anime as FUCK!

Not that I mind one bit; Bring it on I say.

 

[AudioEppa]

"dramatic adventure"

Ok I like the sound of this..

"RTS"

 

[wapplew]

VW make best console RTS.

 

[Nia]

Bandage Girl has my interest. I need to know what the gameplay is about though.

 

[Peroroncino]

Lol why are they naked inside the mechs? Is it too hot in there or something?

HOW ELSE WILL THEY BREATHE!?

 

[2+2=5]

Art looks amazing as expected from Kamitani. I wonder if this is gameplay:

That looked some kind of shooting section, i wonder if that's the "real" gameplay other than going left and right interacting with other characters.
It would be EXTREMELY disappointing if that's all imo.

 

[Kazuhira]

It definitely reminds me of Odin Sphere,i can't put my finger on who is the artist but this artstyle is really familiar.
I'm interested,let's see where this goes now.

That's George Kamitani, and all Vanillaware games use his art as a selling point

Thanks!

 

[Sammy Samusu]

The new and improved Type 0 is here!

Loved the char design.

[Lime]

if this is a bunch of middle schoolers, and they're put in sexually suggestive positions, isn't this a bit over the line?

 

[kewlmyc]

Where was it stated that they were in middle school?

Wouldn't be surprised but just wanting confirmation.

 

[The Cartographer]

Man, this look so gorgeous.

 

[Golnei]

Not particularly; it's completely standard for the genre.

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Man, this look so gorgeous.

Agreed. Adore the visuals, and concept. I have a strong feeling that i'm gonna love this one.

I can see how some hardcore Vanillaware fans view the gameplay as disappointing, but i'm glad they're trying something new. It's quite brave considering their history of action titles.

 

[Chev]

It is from Vanillaware, who love complex systems and have built them into all their games. Why are you immediately assuming, with a mere second of footage, that suddenly they'd have thrown all that away?

 

[patchday]

what will we be doing? Looks like a Visual Novel or something?

 

[Chev]

Watch the trailer again or even the other page of that topic, there a bit with shooting stuff over what looks like a strategic map.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Nobody is talking about how Not Infected Mushroom is that trailer song? Lol.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

The running around city bit looked interesting since I dig the art style. And I like the idea of a story being told from the perspective of 13 different characters.

The RTS gameplay is the only thing that has me worried. I'm not a big strategy guy, so we'll see how that turns out.

 

[Kazuhira]

No info about about platforms,right?

 

[Son Of Sparda]

PS4 and PS Vita.

It's also confirmed to come to western territories.
