It was just announced that Langrisser I and II will be getting a full remake from top to bottom for the PS4 and Switch. More information will be announced on Aug 29th.

Character designs will be all new and done by Ryou Nagi, who did the designs for Ar Tonelico. Noriyuki Iwadare is returning to do the music.

I'm really excited for this!

No more "Master of Breasts" Satoshi

That's like Nocturne or DDS without Kaneko designs.

 

[pramod]

I'm all onboard on this if it's even half as good as the Assault Suits Leynos/Target Earth remake.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Good news. The 3DS game was awful, at least I did not like.

 

[kunonabi]

The Ar Tonelico guy? Man, that is a downgrade if I ever saw one.

 

[zombie_gamer87]

I'm looking forward to this

Gematsu has some images from Famitsu with what it looks like.

It seems fine but it's definitely a little weird without Satoshi Urushihara at the art helm.

I'd have to say I'm not a fan of the new style . I had no idea what the game was so I had to google it, I really love that Plastic Little old style of anime they had for the original version..

I read somewhere that Satoshi Urushihara is not available these days, supposedly has vision problems.

I think Ar Tonelico guy is OK the problem is that he is trying too hard to copy old designs. However, his art is OK and it is gameplay that will make or break this game.

Is that the case? I'll have to do some searching. It'd suck if Urushihara was having vision problems nowdays. ;(

The old art will be available as DLC. Not sure why they don't just use the old art instead of getting new art. Seems like change just for the sake of change.

I really happy about this because I LOVE Urushihara's art. Just like how Akira Toriyama gives DQ its unique identity, so does Urushihara for Langrisser.

Gives the new guy a chance and opens the possibility to make a sequel.

 

[Shouta]

Oh, that's really neat then. I'm glad Urushihara's art will be available. I wish it wasn't DLC but I guess if you pick up the game at launch, you'll get it anyway. It's just the folks that buy it used that are kinda of screwed.

 

[brap]

So this is finally out in Japan. Any word on US release? Anything censored in the PS4 version? US getting the limited box?

 

[bigedole]

The old art looks a lot like Growlanser. Looked up gameplay, I will definitely try these if they make their way out west!

 

[AquaticSquirrel]

I really enjoyed Langrisser II on the Megadrive, I've never played any of the sequels or remakes so I'd consider giving this a shot.

I was expecting a lot worse for the new artwork, it seems 'ok' to me, not amazing but not offensively low quality. Original artwork is obviously better, interesting that they are making it DLC to gouge the purists among their fanbase, which is probably a large percentage for a niche TRPG series like this.

 

[bigedole]

I'm just happy to see a TRPG remaster of a game I haven't played yet! I'm very hungry for these types of games.

 

[KiteGr]

That's like Dragon Quest without Toriyama...

 

[gela94]

Is there any information about a western release?

 

[ThatGamingDude]

Excited for this to come out

 

[Pejo]

I liked the recently released mobile game, but it got super ultra grindy very quickly. I'd definitely give the proper series a shot. Shame about the artist, I loved the unabashedly 80s anime aesthetic of the series.
