SE announces Chaos Rings III (iOS/Android) and Chaos Rings III Prequel Trilogy (Vita)
- Thread starter Goli
- Start date
Remember all those "International Edition" games that never left Japan?

I'm beginning to wonder that too.
Because it started as a smartphone series, maybe make 3 "exclusive" for a time before porting to Vita too (depending how well 1 + 2 + Omega collection sells).
The article doesn't read like that, but who knows.
Maybe the vita game is a collection of 1, 2 and Omega, but not include the third game?

I'm starting to wonder if they're including 3 in that and not Omega, and there will be a bigger console Chaos Rings game as a follow up. There isn't really anything to support this, it's just an idea I had based on the name though.
Prequel Trilogy is definitely the subtitle of the vita port of 3.

Probably the localized name. If it does come west.
Sigma still doesn't have a release date.
Chaos Rings III and Chaos Rings III Prequel Trilogy are out on the same day. Hopefully things will be clear when Square Enix opens the site.

That's what I was meaning (I realise my post was a little unclear.
Chaos Rings 1 + 2 + Omega collection for Vita. Chaos Rings 3 phone exclusive, to come to Vita at a later date if 1 + 2 + Omega sells well.
Wouldn't surprise me, but like Takao says, Square Enix should be opening the site soon so we'll know.

Really don't like the change in art style. Bleh.
Especially when they're charging 1500 yen more. Square Enix is not that insane.

I thought Chaos Rings Sigma was a social game?

I only played Chaos Rings one, and it was such a bad game. I was really upset with it, and this was the first mobile purchase I made, and the last.

Neither do I. I loved the darker, more mature art of the original. It's just so generic now.
The weekly famitsu did an interview with the producer of Chaos Ring 3, and he didn't clarify the meaning of the Vita subtitle. Weird.
What? They were titled as such because they included the extra content from the foreign releases. What we had was already the "International Editions" to begin with.
But they're NOT making games for Vita, just porting existing ones.

Have we not figured out what "Prequel Trilogy" is yet?

Damn, a SE RPG for Vita? Please actually localize this and not pass it like the 3DS DQ games, SE NA.

I like it, but I don't mind that they changed the art design for this entry to begin with. It will probably catch more eyes too.
Some of the screens have a KH vibe and others kind of remind me of Arc Rise Fantasia (looks-wise. I've never played the latter). Battle screens are looking dynamic, curious to know what upgrades they made to the genes/sopia and break systems.

Square Enix is still being dumb about the Vita version.

I do think it's important to note that the copyright lines differ per platform on the official site. The phones only mention 2014, but the Vita part cites content from 2010 - 2012 as well as 2014. The other three Chaos Rings games were released in that earlier time frame.

Well, the bonus materials for the Vita LE contains stuff from the entire series, including illustrations by the previous character designer, so it would be really, really stupid if it's not the entire series in the package: http://store.jp.square-enix.com/special/chaos

i was worried for a sec that only the LE was called "prequel trilogy" but it looks like the DL version is also called that.. the pricing is practically perfect for including the previous games

Nice. I kinda like both art styles, but it is a jarring to change mid-series.
Neat, guess I'll look for some gameplay vids now.

Well, it is Square Enix ...
The Vita package will indeed include all three games.

day 1 now! now we just need to know if the vita version will get localized... I'd think so..

And the official site seems to have updated with more screens :http://www.chaosrings.com/3/, it also mentions being Vita TV compatible.
Nice that it is including the prequels too, pretty good deal for anyone who hasn't played the iOS games.
