Developer FuRyu has announced on the latest issue of Famitsu that the team is currently working on another dungeon crawling role-playing game called X Tetra.

In X Tetra the unnamed hero is the only one who can absorb the mysterious X energy from monsters and use it to work miracles. This unique ability will be the key in saving the X Tetra world.

Artist Enami Katsumi, who’s worked on Star Ocean: The Last Hope is going to work on the game as well as the famous composer Yoko Shimomura who has worked on many games’ soundtracks.

If they get some quality Star Ocean like combat with Xenoblade level of music quality it could be a really neat game.

The B button for Cancel should mean these are 3DS screens.

 

[Kazerei]

Needs more belts

 

[Glass Rebel]

Design generic character
Add beret
???
Still generic

Was Unchained Blades any good? Never got an European release.

 

[Khrno]

Will buy if any version gets localized.

 

[badgenome]

Yoko Shimomura? Sold.

 

[The Technomancer]

Huh...well if the battle system is interesting at all I might give it a look. Art doesn't really do anything for me though, looks utterly unimaginative.

 

[Tratorn]

What's the chance of this getting localized? Is it greater than 0?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Her and Tony Taka did the Fusion Dance a while back, it seems.

 

[Vanillalite]

Not that they look the same mind you, but the genericness of it all reminds me of Arc Rise Fantasta.

IDK I'm happy games like this can still be made in Japan, but IDK how good the game will actually be.

It was good if you liked the old school dungeon crawlers.

 

[Alucrid]

is there a golfing mini game?

 

[Nairume]

Unchained Blades was pretty fun, so I'll be up for giving this a chance if we get it.

If Unchained Blades did well, then maybe this has a decent chance.

Far from perfect, but good.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

This looks pretty nice to me.
Would be interested in a Vita version if released in the west.

 

[ULTROS!]

I wouldn't say 0. Maybe if Xseed is interested in it, they'd probably pick it up assuming Unchained Blades did well for them.

Interesting. In any way comparable to Etrian Odyssey just heavier on story?

Not that it matters to a dirty Yuropean like me though ahaha

 

[maltrain]

I hope they make the game taking advantage of the great PS Vita hardware...

 

[Colonel Mustard]

On one had, this looks OK. On the other, Unchained Blades was awful.

Just stick to Etrian Odyssey. There's not a single reason to own this if you have EO IV.

 

[Heyt]

So it's trun based. Doesn't look bad for a 3DS game. Character design is just ok, but I hope it has an interesting system.

 

[LuuKyK]

Looks cool. Hopefully its localized.

Blanc Neige~

 

[Wyndstryker]

I can recognize those Tony Taka char designs from a mile away.

Smash bros logo detected (albeit a bit sideways), new smash char confirmed!

 

[Sammy Samusu]

I think I need this.

Oh and it seems they are moving from 3DS/PSP to 3DS/PSV, that's cool.

 

[Goli]

It looks pretty interesting, now all we need is someone to localize Unchained Blades Exxiv >_<.

 

[SeZMehK]

There are so many rpgs that I want localized >.< Sigh, one can dream cant they...

 

[MagiusNecros]

Character design could be better.

 

[Gloam]

I for one cannot wait for the Tommy Hilfiger tie-in merchandise.

Screens look cool, didn't expect a 3d game, thought it might be a first-person dungeon crawl type o' thing.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Looks turn-based. I want it.

 

[Augemitbutter]

the art is so damned plain.

where is my unchained blades 2, xseed?

Was Unchained Blades any good? Never got an European release.

it's good. i think it's on Euro PSN if you have that.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Seems like it could be pretty cool. Hope it comes to NA.

 

[cafemomo]

Her hair needs to be more drilly

 

[Z3M0G]

Looks fantastic!

 

[2+2=5]

Imo psp shining games(designed by tony taka too) even with worse textures and dithering look equal or even better than this game

If you told me that this game was for psp i would have believed it.

 

[Hero of Legend]

The B button for Cancel should mean these are 3DS screens.

So it seems, but the aspect ratio doesn't match (resolution I can pass for bullshottery).

 

[Himynameischris]

Looks good I wonder if the Vita version will look better then those screens though...if we even get the game that is

 

[Mlatador]

Nah, that character design is too animey for me.

 

[chickdigger802]

Her and Tony Taka did the Fusion Dance a while back, it seems.

not naked enough girls

 

[Hero of Legend]

Looks good I wonder if the Vita version will look better then those screens though...if we even get the game that is

Surely not, since when games like this happen, they seem to not put any effort in the more powerful platform.

Spike Chunsoft did this twice now with VLR and Conception II, both look the same obviously in favor of 3DS (which obviously was the baseline version, porting upward is much easier than downward).

Now will it even be native res, that's another question, most Vita games seem to be sub-native, 3DS games I think are ALWAYS native.

 

[SAB CA]

Even if it looks "plain", I'm just happy it's got character who are actually of some age. And the presentation is pretty nice looking, nothing overly perverse or embarrassing so far.

I've enjoyed what I've played of Unchained Blades, I'd love to get the chance to play this, as well.

And those PSP Shining games look so good. I'd love to get a chance to play those on Vita

 

[Kyon]

3DS/Vita >>>> should ALWAYS be like this. Stop the PSP mess

Also YAY more JRPGs for vita

You will be disappointed

I understand that some vita games are subnative res, but they are ps3 ports or native vita games, but a multi with 3ds? I really don't think so!
VLR was so ugly with those 3ds assets

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

is there a golfing mini game?

His outfit makes me think he takes Mini-Golfing at the Laser Tag very seriously

psp/vita

3ds/vita

Just saying

 

[Midou]

Tony Taka art looks so damn generic every time I see it. It's like high quality but low effort. It looks like he drew a few hairs and faces and simply pastes them over various characters.

 

[Kyon]

Just saying

Oh I didn't see your earlier post. NVM i take it back.

 

[MagiusNecros]

If that's the actual boxart the title is phrased to resemble the word Extraterrestrial.
