SE announces Chaos Rings III (iOS/Android) and Chaos Rings III Prequel Trilogy (Vita)
- Thread starter Goli
- Start date
Omega is a prequel right? Since this is Square Enix, and it's a Japanese product, they probably intend for it to mean "Chaos Rings Collection - Prequel + Trilogy" or something like that. I dunno, it's a really dumb name.
Type-0 is available on Vita in Japan, PSP digital version. This is a Japanese announcement.

WHOA, but you can unlock everything in game, right?
Well we only had the trademark "Prequel Trilogy".
Siliconera is the one who hyped it up as a big deal on the basis they wanted more article clicks.
They have a separate f2p game called Chaos Rings Sigma.
I suspect this might be a one and done purchase.
You do realise that was a joke list right?

Chaos Rings is actually kinda neat.
Yup.
Thought he game wasn't fantastic, the NA ad campaign was pretty damn good.

That was a joke list? Didn't know that >.<
Hmm I have said multiple times I wanted SE to do something for Vita... Not sure I'm happy with it getting a mobile port..., and I bet if it doesn't sell well, they won't bother with Vita again, but if it does, they won't put the games people really want on there, they'll just know mobile ports are fine... Can't win either way.
Wow I want this. I only played Chaos Rings. and I liked it.
I haven't played it myself but heard there was a lot of slowdowns due to the limitations of the PSM mobile framework.

Yeah, it was poking fun at the insanity of IAPs on mobile.
But no joke. There's a premium car pack on Asphalt 8 that goes for $99.99! You can't play certain tracks without that pack!!! Bonkers!!!

I think the story is better for sure.

SE supporting Vita?! Unpossible!
Those Rarity icons plus the fact that there seem to be two kinds of currencies on the menu have me now worried regarding IAP :/.
Also, as a fan of the series, I really don't like how childish it looks, and I'm not sure how to feel regarding the transition into full 3D since I thought the pre-drawn BGs in the other entries were really well done. Still hopeful though.
EDIT: Also, the battle system is no longer limited to just a couple of characters in battle...

But S-E didn't say anything about an "important series", they only registered a trademark.

Premium currency is always a sign of doom.
And I agree about the characters. They seem more younger than past games.
And the full 3D will be interesting. Hope it has better framerates than DQVIII!
Unfortunate.
I'm by no means familiar with the Chaos Rings series, so I could be totally wrong about this, but my impression of the screens is that it now looks much more like a Kingdom Hearts or tri-Ace game than the rest of the series. Something about the character designs and the colors. I guess they're targeting a younger crowd?
Yeah, I get this impression too. The other Chaos Rings games were a lot more "mature" looking visually, and the fact that Yusuke Naora isn't returning along with this visual shift have me a little worried that the storyline will also be something more fitting for a younger audience, which wasn't really the case for the other entries, which had some pretty... strange themes.

Only played the first Chaos Rings but I quite enjoyed it. The combat was fun enough and the overarching story (which required a lot of playthroughs to learn) was actually unique and well executed, if a little insane.
Will pick up on sale.

Which may explain why it's so different.

Looking GREAT WOW!!
Was there a localization announcement somewhere in there I missed? Dunno whatcha'll all excited about. Cause you know, we get all the games we want localized, localized... One of the mods will probably say something though. I hope it's good news.
