At the shareholder meeting, Falcom has since announced Nayuta no Kiseki (那由多ã®è»Œè·¡), to be released on the PSP in 2012.
So far, they have stated that it will have a completely new setting, new characters, and new game system. It is also the first game of the Kiseki titles to drop the “Legend of Heroes†title and use the Kiseki name on its own.
Screenshot ziet er vet uit. Maar over wat voor gameplay hebben we het hier? En heeft Xseed Nihon Falcom de laatste paar jaren een beetje fatsoenlijke games gemaakt?
Ik denk dat het een actie RPG is zoals bijna alle Falcom games. Deze game valt wel binnen de LEgend of Heroes serie maar het feit dat ze deze titel niet meer gebruiken duidt op een nieuwe trilogie. Hier in het westen hebben we dankzij Xseed tot nu toe enkel Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky gehad die echt heel tof is! Het is het eerste deel in een trilogie, of we de andere twee delen krijgen valt nog te bezien want Trails in the Sky verkocht zeer onder verwachting helaas.
Joining today's official announcement of Nayuta no Kiseki's July 26 release date, Falcom gave the game's official site a full opening. Access the site for... well, not much yet, but there are sections for world view, characters, system, movie and special.
The character section is mostly silhouettes, except for the girl we've been seeing on the site's front page thus far. Unfortunately, the site does not provide an introduction.
Falcom also provided a glimpse at the game's bonus items. The first print run will include the "Acoustic Live DVD Collection Falcom jdkTV" DVD featuring music from Falcom sound unit jdk. As a pre-order bonus, Falcom will include a Shining Pom case. As retail bonuses, Falcom will include an original mini soundtrack. The jacket for the soundtrack will differ depending on the retailer.
Kondo also commented on Falcom's plans for the Kiseki series. This is the series that includes Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky and Nayuta no Kiseki. Of course, Nayuta no Kiseki does not have "Legend of Heroes" in the title. Kondo told Dengeki that this is because the game does not have ties to past games in the series. Future Kiseki games may have more connections with past Kiseki titles, though. Kondo revealed to Famitsu that the Falcom staff is also working on a game set in Zemuria, the land of the current Kiseki series titles.
Like Dengeki, Famitsu has a lengthy first look at Nayuta no Kiseki this week. Here's some of what's in the magazine's feature, based off Sokuho's summary:
The game's gameplay systems are being made taking into account of feedback from users who said the battle systems of past Kiseki games were boring and took too much time.
As we mentioned yesterday, the game's world is not spherical -- it has an end. The world's end is somewhere in the middle of the sea, and no one knows what lies beyond. Main character Nayuta's parents were investigating the end of the world, but they're now dead. One of Nayuta's reasons for heading out on his adventure is to clear up the mysteries of the end of the world.
The game's story begins with Nayuta returning to his home town, Nokosare Shima (literally "Left Behind Island") from his school for summer break. A massive ruins of some form falls on the island, and from there emerges Noi, who's come from a different world.
The basic gameplay consists primarily of controlling the Nayuta and Noi pair.
As you progress in the game, Nayuta will gain the ability to freely change the seasons. This is also one of the mysteries of the world.
The staff first made the game's boss fights. The bosses are not just large, but require strategy.
Ik betwijfel het idd. De eerste LoH (Trails in the Sky) heeft het zo slecht gedaan dat de andere twee delen in de trilogie ook al niet gelokaliseerd worden. En daar baal ik echt heel erg van. Feels bad man
