I love the background design.

 

[soultron]

Have to see it in motion, but I think it looks bland/generic compared to something like BlazBlue. The sprites don't look too hot, IMO.

Golden Fantasia is supposed to be the localization title? Or is this another case of "never gonna see this"?

I'd bet on the latter. But hey, Aksys publishers have worked miracles before.

 

[AAK]

:lol how everyone in the backgorund is ignoring them.

 

[Atolm]

Meh. More all-little girls fighting stuff. I remember when this sub-genre was seen as an eccentricity (when Asuka 120% came out) and now pretty much predates the whole genre. Sad times ;/

 

[tearsofash]

Played this on PC. It was pretty fun, but I don't see people playing it competitively.

It's got guys and adults in it. And witches.

There are male characters.

There are male characters.

Face it, no one cares about those

I do! If I ever play this, I'm definitely playing as Battler.

There's only 1 little girl.

Character design is generic as shit, but I'll hold off final judgement until I see it in motion.

Would anyone object to a Capcom vs. Level 5 game? Professor Layton with the sick swordsmanship in Diabolical Box....

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Also, don't we already have a thread for this?

 

[thetrin]

An Umineko fighter? Hell yeah, I'm in. Is there a PC version already out? I'll have to hunt that down.

I couldn't find one, and these are new screens, so...

[notworksafe]

Awesome looking game, but the battle system described in the other thread is a bit daunting.

 

[WickedLaharl]

thread title and OP are at odds with each other.

 

[cj_iwakura]

People got some high standards, then.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

This may not be Blazblue, but it's colorful and Umineko and that should be enough for anyone.

 

[Akselziys]

I love this game

Spoiler

I hope Bernkastel is unlockable in this version :3

 

[LiK]

too many dudes in it.

 

[Steaks]

The PC version isn't very fun. Awkward animation, slow attacks with really long recovery, forced "mindgames" through the systems meter management.

Unless they do a complete overhaul, this game isn't worth it. It's not even sort of fun but badly designed like TvC.

Edit: In case you aren't aware, this is an updated version of a game that was made for the PC and released in Winter Comiket IIRC I didn't have too much intimate time with the game but it didn't grab me.

 

[notworksafe]

I love this game

Spoiler

I hope Bernkastel is unlockable in this version :3

You guys should bring it to PSN!

:3

 

[Akselziys]

I think you need to invoke the red truth XD

 

[havok666]

Looks terrible.

 

[thetrin]

The battle system looks like I need a Masters in something to understand it.

I've got someone sending me the PC version, so I'll check it out and see what it's like.

 

[Ahoi-Brause]

The 4komas it spawned are the best.

 

[Chemo]

Looks completely terrible.

 

[dallow_bg]

Looks completely terrible.

[K701]

What the... why would they put Rosa, George, and Jessica before Bernkastel? Didn't someone find files of an unfinished Bernkastel in the original release? I guess she's the boss and unlockable or something. It would be stupid not to include her on this release. Same for lambda.

As for people bitching about gameplay: It took melty blood a while to get good. I have no doubt once they are happy with the amount of characters they will focus on balancing and unique gameplay for each character. After that being picked up by a major publisher for an arcade release wont be far behind.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Looks really... familiar. I feel like I've seen them before. Are they from another fighting game or are they that generic?

 

[Shirokun]

Looks great in motion. Haters don't know what they're talking about.

 

[PatmanBegins]

Not sure what you're getting at with that...are you helping me to prove my point by posting a girl from any random anime who would've fit perfectly into this game?

BlazBlue looks so much more unique than this, and I'm not even a very big fan of that series.

Uuuuh...what?

 

[Shirokun]

This game is based off of an existing property, so you clearly have no context with which to understand the characters. From a stylistic standpoint, BlazBlue's characters may appear more interesting, but it's not like the creators of this game just said, "hey, lets have a game where everyone wears fairly normal looking clothing." There is a reason for the way they appear.

BTW, here's some video for anyone curious.

Great, so you're acknowledging they're generic, "but for a reason!!" I wasn't trying to troll the game -- was just making an honest observation, which is that this fighting game does nothing to differentiate itself stylistically. Kind of important in the fighting genre. I would like to see it in motion and also try the gameplay personally before I make a final judgement on it. Not dismissing it entirely.

 

[Trojita]

Are people replying in this topic not even realizing that this is based on an established IP?

 

[Negator]

People are ready to jump it because it looks like animu and animu looks totally lame bro.

Where's all the blood and shit like in my Mortal Kombat?

 

[InfiniteNine]

WAIT IS THAT FUCKING ROSA!? I'm so getting this. I was going to update the Ougon Musou Kyouko thread and Umineko one about this just now too.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Umineko no Naku Koro ni. It's a series of visual novels, an anime, and spiritual successor to Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

 

[Vhalyar]

A maid clumsily dropping her platter? That's so moe that George's legs turned to jelly mid-run.

 

[InfiniteNine]

We need some screens of Rosa Musou! We need to see her best mom ever move!

I'm not saying they're generic. The original game that this is based on is a visual novel set in the 1980's. It was never originally intended to be a fighting game, whereas BlazBlue is set in some post-apocalyptic fantasy world(IIRC). The costumes are perfectly appropriate for the original property. Changing them to be more stylistic to compete with something like BlazBlue wouldn't make alot of sense.

The thing it's based off of has nothing or little to do with fighting, so it's more a problem with the fact they're making a fighting game based on a psychological thriller/horror franchise.

Why no action shot for Rosa? ):
