Since I couldn't really find any good pics of Toi8's work on the net, I photo'd a few of my favorite pieces of his work. I don't have a scanner so the quality could be better...

Great art, thanks for scanning that Bebpo.

Loving the art. I'm not a huge fan of SRPGs but maybe this will intrest me enough to check it out.

Gameplay-wise no...character, world and towns artwork yes. And cute loading scene too

I like the character art on the official site.

Going by the hairy legs and the hooves, it seems like she might be half cow.

Or goat.

And those horns...

trancejeremy · Sep 9, 2006

Hmmmm. In Disgaea 2, the main character's little brother is a cow-boy. No bell, though, and he's a demon, so it sorta makes sense for him.

Tokubetsu · Sep 9, 2006

Really digging the artwork..

Last boss in 10 minutes? I love how n1 laughs in the face of traditional design.

They had my money up until i read that. Instant no sell if true. I don't care if I have the option of fighting him too early yet being to weak to defeat him. It kills some of the mystery of what the end game will be like.

Hopefully you are forced to fight him, forced to flee and don't see the end boss again until 40+ hours later.

I don't understand what mistery it would kill.
As Duckroll wrote, fighting the last boss after just 10 minutes is a choice you can make, not something that has to be.
If you wan to keep this mistery(?), you could simply choose not to fight him until it is time.
Or do you hate options in your games?

sprsk · Sep 9, 2006

These suck pretty bad, I'm sorry I don't have a scanner

These are also out of order a bit.

Thanks!

I can't tell from the photos, but are they recycling character sprites?

sprsk · Sep 9, 2006

no. all new sprites.

The combat looks like a weird combo of advanced wars and dragonf orce and yeah i have to read this but my kanji sucks.

jiggle · Sep 9, 2006

Nice to see more efforts being put in the graphics, and new gameplay

Kurosaki Ichigo · Sep 9, 2006

Looks really good. It really does have a different style than other SRPG by N1 this gen. Looking forward it!

It joins Flight Plan's Dragon Shadow Spell (DSS) in a 2007 SRPG new influx. Btw, new pics of it too...

And Summon Night 4 this year!

NIS America will without doubt bring Soul Craddle....I hope Atlus picks both Summon Night 4 and Dragon Shadow Spell.

Lain · Sep 9, 2006

Meh i thought those last pics were from the N1 game, i should have read more carefully.

duckroll · Sep 15, 2006

Direct-feed pics are up, it DOES look totally different from other N1 efforts!

Lain · Sep 15, 2006

I like. Altho i'd wish for the sprites to be somewhat higher res than that.

Tokubetsu · Sep 15, 2006

God, Please bring this stateside =(

IDK wtf is happening to me, I'm really excited for this even though I have no real experience with SRPGs

Aiere · Sep 15, 2006

I love charaters design.
another cool awesome SRPG from N1 again

Greenpanda · Sep 15, 2006

Needs LESS cowbell

But other than that, looks fine

Sprites are awfully low-res and poorly scaled, but who really cares?

I'm sure it will have no trouble getting translated; I can't imagine NIS not doing it!

JadedOne · Sep 15, 2006

Wooo! It actually looks different than their past titles! Looks good!

Lain · Sep 15, 2006

Looking more at the pics, i noticed that the combo attack reminded me a bit of La Pucelle and the slow way it dealed with attacks and combo attacks. I hope this game wont have anything like that.

Shouta · Sep 15, 2006

They're using new sprites? UNPOSSIBLE!

That means their thriftiness is paying off, in other words.
