I'm assuming that you actually know the story and that you're just making fun of the poster above you :lol

I propose we call VP DS: Vakyrie Isometric from now on >.>

With that in mind, why the FUCK is the series called The Legend of Zelda when 99.9999999^* per cent of the time, you're playing as Link and it's Zelda who gets captured EVERY. SINGLE. GODDAMNED. TIME!.
 
funny you mention that. when i first played LoZ for NES, I thought at first the little dude's name was Zelda.
 
@ rerial: Sounds interesting. Source?

Sad to hear about Vanillaware's title. It truly looked awesome.

My friends still think that to this day. I'm always correcting them yet they never get it right.

"Same thing!" they say.

I'm like the only Nintendo fan that I know of in the school...

Not Link's awakening, or Majora's Mask, and sorta not in Twilight Princess.
 
If I'm reading this right, Mana Khemia (Portable Plus) Premium Box is coming out for PSP on 6/26 per Soutahouse.

That's looking like a busy day.

Jump has revealed that there's a brand new Hercules no Eikou game coming to DS. Some fans might remember the old series. It's a RPG, yes.

And Nintendo is developing (or publishing) it, or? I didn't know they were involved in the SFC ones.

Sengoku Basara Cross (PS2)?
i thought it was going to PS3/PSN.

The PS2 is still an incredibly viable console in Japan and seeing as how Basara Cross won't sell any PS3s...

*shrug* Did you think Odin Sphere was a good game?

Yes, I did. But, you know, it's not like that's the only game they've made, either.

Oh yeah there was Princess Crown(which also sucked) and Grim Grimoire(which I haven't played as it isn't my genre but apparently that's decent).

Vanilla's next game looks to be following the path PC and OS set however so is it any wonder why I'm cautious?

Thing is though is that I think they're fairly competent devs. Despite their small team and limited funds they can put together a game, they just can't design worth a damn. Design-wise OS & PC are a mess and it's frustrating because a lot of the problems with both games were due to ideas that "seemed clever at the time". Both games also suffered from stretching five hours of content into 30 hour epics that just ended up boring.
 
Star Ocean 4 seems to be look a lot better (graphically) then Infinite Undiscovery. I'm starting to think Star Ocean 4 is for the Playstation 3

The only design flaw of OS, imo, was the growing food thing. Everything else was fine.

I heavily disagree with your last statement.
 
http://www.tri-ace.co.jp/index.html

tri-Ace updated their site, new pic in the front page and Valkyrie Profile DS added to their Products page. I guess that makes tri-Ace involvement with VP DS official (if there was any doubt).

after seeing clean scans of both games... I can say that IU looks amazing. I can't comment on SO4 because I don't know if some of the shots are real time or CG although the pics in the last page definitely look like real time shots to me.

Now you're just talking crazy. SO3 is ugly as shit.
 
seems that tales of the world narikiri dungeon 4 for ds it's on the way. Jump shows only the cast (main character from nd1-2-3 and summoner's lineage), no screens. Btw I wonder if it will be done with the innocence engine.
 
Infinite Undiscovery
- IU is totally seamless.
- checking the menu doesn't pause the game, think PSO or MH.
- Situations that are solved quickly offer bonus rewards like full party healing and so on.
- there's a day/night cycle, 10 minutes for a cycle.
- you control the Main Character only, Capel. you can control the AI by using stances instead of commands. not sure how this works.
- the AI seems to play a big role, since the whole game is real time. (lets hope the AI is GOOD)
- a lot of characters in the game
- the characters story will not be presented like VP1, instead they develop while traveling with the party. like in any rpg.

Star Ocean 4
- gameplay wise SO3 haters I think, should not look forward to SO4.
- nothing else that hasn't been said already.

...is there even somebody who hated Star Ocean 3 because of the gameplay? ._.

I hope it's like Star Ocean, where you can switch party leader at will.

That is lame as all hell. Like anyone is going to totally turn around during their stage of identity crisis in the time span of a week. Shit takes years!

come on LAST REMNANT. Soon is not enough!!

LR is gonna suck.

Oh well. has my money just because Naora is there.
 
the fact that they are not making major changes to the systems of SO3 makes me feel vindicated, I guess. SO3 haters can eat a dick, the battle system of SO3 was awesome. glad to see they are not going to ditch it.

I'm fine with the rest of the information, but I really dislike this. Even Mass Effect pauses the game when you select a spell/skill :/

I wouldn't get carried away by the Vanillaware's Wii title statement, most (all?) developers come to a point where they are having a hard time developing the game, in most cases they overcome it and slove it

Well, the word that's being translated as "struggling" can also be interpreted as a positive, like they're "trying their hardest". Without any sort of additional context, it's tough for me to know the difference, though. But yeah, the word doesn't necessarily indicate that the struggling they are having is negative. Lousy foreign languages and their own unique nuances!
