Falcom's new Evolution project site opened.

Evolution games have been enhanced Vita ports of Kiseki (Trails) series with various additions like full event voice, arranged BGMs and added sub quests. They have release Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki Evolutions on Vita.

The new teaser page's background hints that the new evoultion is most likely Sora no Kiseki (Trails in the Sky)

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

If it was FC for Vita, I wonder if there would be any chance for us to get it.

Anyways, whatever it is, I want it.

 

[twentytwo22]

Full-voiced FC-3rd. Bring it on.

 

[jiggle]

I want kisekios

 

[Takao]

maybe sora psv/ps4

 

[WinterDemons]

Hope the three Sora no Kiseki games are brought to Vita.

 

[Stark]

I will import the crap out of Sora no Kiseki Evolution. Please be exactly that.

 

[djplaeskool]

Maybe they're throw a curveball and it will be Nayuta no Kiseki.
I want to play that game again.
It's probably Sora. I don't think Nayuta is actually a Legend of Heroes game.

 

[Vylash]

be still my heart

 

[Hours Left]

OMG

:O

 

[Nightengale]

Wishful thinking: Sora Trilogy Remake with Sen Engine

Won't happen(anytime soon), but it'd be nice to dream.

 

[Hikami]

Yeah, I'm gonna go with the background implying that it's Sora no Kiseki.

If it was FC for Vita, I wonder if there would be any chance for us to get it.

I just finished FC a few days ago on PC. This is one of the few games I'd buy again --such a good game. I hope there's a chance it could come over. I'd definitely import it if not though.

 

[nightever]

likely their mobile project.

 

[Reveirg]

likely their mobile project.

I'm okay with this if that means that awesome-looking Xanadu Tokyo game is on consoles!

 

[Aeana]

They were gauging interest for Sora Evo in the past, so that's probably what it is.

 

[ATXAlchemy]

I got Sora FC, SC, the 3rd and their corresponding HD PS3 releases from PS+.

If this is Sora no Kiseki Evolution on Vita, I'd be willing to buy as I intend(ed) to replay Sora anyways.

 

[Aeana]

This was their April Fool's joke as well

 

[Jonnyram]

Fully voiced Sora would be incredible. Hopefully this would give the series a decent shot in the West too.

 

[Aeana]

Sadly, all I can imagine is Chara-Ani skeeving Sora up like they did with Ao. I mean come on. Ugh.

 

[Nightengale]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry that Falcom's low budget, very minimally animated opening cutscenes manage to feel better than the fully animated Evo cutscenes.

 

[Palette Swap]

I'm getting way ahead of myself but this could create a scenario where we actually get 3rd on Vita in the West.

 

[Jubern]

Aw shit. I was in the middle of a SC play through a couple of months ago, might want to hold on resuming it if there really is a Evo version coming up...

 

[RyougaSaotome]

oh god yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes

full voiced 3rd

I'm not sure my heart could take the feelings.

 

[Aeana]

What Chara-Ani would probably do with Renne's story would land you in jail.

 

[Dark_castle]

This was their April Fool's joke as well

A good April Fool's joke would be them announcing localization of the rest of Kiseki titles.

 

[cardinalmind]

A good but very cruel joke.

 

[Parakeetman]

[Aeana]

Let's not confuse Falcom and Chara-Ani here. Chara-Ani licensed Zero and Ao to do the Evolution games, they were not done by Falcom.

 

[Shengar]

Sadly, all I can imagine is Chara-Ani skeeving Sora up like they did with Ao. I mean come on. Ugh.

Have to widen dem audience!

Spoiler

urrggh :X

 

[Shouta]

The site is Chara-Ani I expect bad VAs for the NPC but at least it'll be fully-voiced where it counts! =o

I wouldn't mind a Sora FC/SC full voiced version.

Have to widen dem audience!

Spoiler

urrggh :X

To be slightly fair to Chara-Ani. Falcom set up the situation for skeeving. Chara-Ani just took it to 11. =P

 

[Nightengale]

Falcom ain't exactly patron saints in not having those kind of stuff. It's just that they tend to have less of it, and isn't obnoxious about it.

But it's not Kiseki without the lolis, after all.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

What Chara-Ani would probably do with Renne's story would land you in jail.

Beyond adding illustrations (which would probably make this a game not for store shelves), I'm not sure Chara-Ani can do anything more horrific than what Falcom already puts that character through. >.>

 

[Producer]

sora evo? yes i'll take it

 

[Aeana]

Sure it is? I mean, Zero/Ao is the only arc that really focused on a young girl character in that kind of moe way. Tita was kinda different, treated much more normally. Sen doesn't have one at all.

 

[encephalon]

I'm not convinced Falcom isn't heading in that direction already.

Tita:

Spoiler

"age difference relationship."

Sen:

Spoiler

Miriam's costume design in Sen I and her silver haired doppleganger's in Sen II are creepy.

 

[Nightengale]

It doesn't have to be the exact same kind of moe.

Miriam ain't Kea or even Tio, but she's still... there. I understand the logic of why these kinda out-of-place characters are in their setting (like Tio or Fie), but they're still there.

 

[Aeana]

I guess I forgot Miriam is supposed to be 13, since she acts more like a robot than a person to me.

 

[ATXAlchemy]

Tita:

Spoiler

"age difference relationship."

I don't know what this could possibly be OTHER than the Sora no Kiseki series.

Honestly, that's on the fanbase. Agate's relationship with Tita is clearly one of brotherly concern, but people will turn anything into something skeevy given the chance.

 

[hongcha]

So Falcom is not actually involved in this, right (contrary to the thread title)? I mean, they didn't do the previous Evolution games on the Vita.

I think it's a Kadokawa initiative yes, but since the base games are Falcom games so I guess that's what people care about most?

 

[Shinriji]

Is there any chance to this be Nayuta no Kiseki Evo?

 

[CielTynave]

Is there any chance to this be Nayuta no Kiseki Evo?

Probably low.

Spoiler

But tbh I'd prefer that.

 

[RyoonZ]

Zwei I&II on PS4!

 

[Kresnik258]

I'm getting way ahead of myself but this could create a scenario where we actually get 3rd on Vita in the West.

That was my first thought as well

 

[ATXAlchemy]

Might be a clue to this new Evolution, might be not.

But I see a white flower.

 

[twentytwo22]

Well, this thread went south quickly.

Anyway, if it is Sora FC, what possible improvements would you like to see? Obviously these wouldn't be huge because the Pyramid development team is tiny, but the biggest ones that come to my mind would be the ability to skip crafts, arts, and s-craft/breaks. It's tough going back to the older Kiseki games after playing the new ones because of these improvements.

The ability to kill low-level enemies on the field would be nice to see in the Sora games. I doubt they are going to implement any gameplay changes though.
