Sounds good

Keisuke was recently promoted and placed in the Gust team so this must be the next project he is working on.

 

[Redhood]

Fuck read it as Ni No Kuni! Lol

Demons, Girls, Swords, RPG another Vita game to buy!

 

[Eusis]

Guess the lines are blurring between Gust and Tecmo Koei even more now?

 

[InfiniteNine]

It seems a bit different from the usual so I'm curious to how this will turn out, but some screenies would be nice.

Wait... It's basically devil summoner?

 

[TheChaos0]

Not the Gust I was expecting but something different might be good too.

 

[jzbluz]

Okay, it has my interest. Now to see some art.

 

[u_neek]

Fuck read it as Ni No Kuni! Lol

Ha! So did I.

 

[Frumix]

Glad Ichimichi Mao is getting more work.

 

[Frillen]

I though it was Ni No Kuni

 

[ZeroX03]

That title is such a troll.

 

[Shengar]

Guys, "Kuni" is the Japanese word for "Country/States"

 

[Bowl0l]

PS4 and Vita for me. I am no longer buying games for PS3 Day one.

 

[michaelius]

Hmm so by going with discreption it might be Gust idea of following Persona 5 hype ?

 

[18-Volt]

Action-RPG. PS Vita. Fatal Frame producer. Gust. I like what I'm hearing.

 

[CielTynave]

An action RPG from Gust? Interesting, will check out on PS4 or Vita if runs well on it.

Spoiler

Where the fuck did Chronos Materia go?

 

[jiggle]

Is Flight Unit involved?

The character designer for this game appears to be Yoshiku, who previously did a design illustration for Gust's Ar nosurge.

The artist's sites:

The Ar nosurge designed he did:

 

[Yasumi]

From the pics on Gematsu, the art style looks Ar no Surge-ish (Edit: which Duckroll just confirmed right above me). Will definitely keep an eye on this.

 

[Basileus777]

How are people getting confused by the title? Do you just read every 3rd word? Why would Gust have anything to do with Ni No Kuni?

 

[stryke]

Interesting outfit...

 

[jiggle]

Those boobage will put tecmo girls to shame

 

[Nightengale]

Translator's Note : Kuni means Country.

 

[Takao]

gust is my favourite level-5 team
second favourite is gundam age squad

 

[M°°nblade]

Ha! So did I.

And I

I guess not knowing Japanese at all, only recognizing "Kuni" and unconsciously linking that to the only thing they know (Ni no Kuni) does the job.

 

[Dinda]

Yay, very interested in a Gust Action RPG. Hope they are already planning the localization. PS4 for me.
Gematsu added pictures, i like the character design. And it also seemes we do not need to worry about a lack of Fan Service...

 

[SliceSabre]

Why bother wearing clothes if what you're wearing is see through?

Regardless Gust games have never disappointed me so this is on my radar. Even better its on PS4 and Vita.

 

[bigjig]

Nice! PS getting a lot of JRPGs

 

[ZhugeEX]

Scan removed.

Linked in OP.

 

[Bleep]

These developers sure have no shame in their efforts to grab cash from sexually frustrated teenage boys.

 

[RoadHazard]

Fuck read it as Ni No Kuni! Lol

Yeeeep.

 

[Falk]

Guys, "Kuni" is the Japanese word for "Country/States"

Pls, the "thought it was ____" happens for English titles as well.

Spoiler

I read Ni No Kuni at first too

 

[itchyass86]

Demons, Girls, Swords, RPG another Vita game to buy!

Same here. Got my hopes up for a sequel...

Another image shows her fully dressed, so who knows what the context is?

My brain only processed the words I wanted to see.

So you've never played the game then.

 

[Nightengale]

If L5 was going to announce a Ni no Kuni sequel like this, they would've had done it at Vision to begin with.

 

[Takao]

Nah, its good, i don't want crossgen Ni No Kuni 2!

the original nnk was crossgen tho

 

[Nightengale]

So you've never played the game then.

GUST GAMES ARE LEWD BECAUSE I SAID SO!

 

[-MD-]

Ah shit I thought that said Ni No Kuni =/

 

[Antiwhippy]

GUST GAMES ARE LEWD BECAUSE I SAID SO!

Am somewhat disappointed that we didn't get "cute guys doing cute stuff" Gust though.

 

[è£ ç”²æ‚ªé¬¼æ‘æ­£]

This is a pretty good year for ARPGs huh?

 

[Nightengale]

All the demons servans will be cute pretty boys.

[Falk]

Personally I'd reserve the term 'cross-gen' for releases that occur in the same window and/or the older gen version eaves a distinctive mark on the newer gen version. Ni No Kuni was more of a port/remake.

 

[wapplew]

Side boobs!
Scan look mighty fine, at least character department like always, lets hope environment is decent.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Well if this is somehow Ar no Surge related I'm guessing the girls are Reyvateil and the demons do the fighting while they sing for buffs.
