Sekaiju no Meikyu 2 - The Royal Grail (DS/Atlus/Coming this Winter)
- New classes: Doctor Magnus and Gunner. The Magnus is sounds like a combat mage, which has healing properties as well as offense boosts from studying the body. The Gunner can use various elemental bullets.
- There are now pets that follow and aid you in the adventure.
- Existing jobs will have brain new artwork.
- Battles will be much more visually exciting.
- FOEs will have new rules and new types.
- The director is Komori (the writer of EO1, Devil Summoner PS2 and Princess Crown), and she says they decided to make a sequel when they looked into the template and realized they could improve the balance of the calculations and skills, as well as brushing up the existing formula.
- There are two settings this time: the Sekaiju as well as the flying castle.
- You can create a total of 30 charcters this time.
- They have added a quicksave function for saving in the middle of dungeons. (YAY)
- For map creation, there are now 3 different colors you can use.
- There are also more icons and arrows to use.
- When buying equipment now, the character status is displayed so you can see how effective they are before buying. (YAY!)

If that's what it is, I'd be quite pleased. Though very flawed, I was a big fan of the original for a lot of the things it did (or at least tried to do).amodf said:Way of the Samurai 3

Are Family Fortunes jokes internationally recognised?

What does it say on page 11?
duckroll said:It's interesting because the "Persona series" is how the highest valued investment franchise for growth, followed by the "Sekaiju series".
duckroll said:There are two new RPGs, with one being closer to being a problem (high development costs?) than the other.
So basically, PGR4 is as good as Lair.
duckroll said:It's just a division of how the company sees the various franchises they have.
The top left is problem products which they are considering canning, the top right is high ranking investments for growth, the bottom left are canned products and the bottom right are cashflow products where they are being released for cashflow as opposed to investment/growth.
It's interesting because the "Persona series" is how the highest valued investment franchise for growth, followed by the "Sekaiju series". On the other hand, Trauma Center is considered more of a cashflow series and the Devil Summoner series is even more so.
There are two new RPGs, with one being closer to being a problem (high development costs?) than the other. The real problem products are DS Variety games and a new Wii project. They're consider dropping them.

duckroll said:Some more Sekaiju info bits:
- Game is 70% complete, release date will be announced soon.

Pureauthor said:Yay! Thanks, jj!
I wonder what exactly the password will carry over.
Edit: Holy crap, is that Alraune? She looks amazing!
Edit2: THE OLD CAST IS BACK! WOOHOO!
Edit3: Snowscape? And a new type of FOE? Game just keeps getting better and better.
