Lacrima Castle _ Announcements _ Knights in the Nightmare coming to PSP in April
Posted by: Leyviur Jan 14 2010, 09:14 AM
Sting has recently announced they're bringing their latest Dpt Heaven episode Knights in the Nightmare to PSP this coming April.
Commence the "WTF"s.
Posted by: P.P.A. Jan 14 2010, 09:24 AM
I remember when the idea was brought up at the forums and I thought it would be as ridiculous and unrealistic as a Riviera anime. Shocking. :(
Posted by: lilcases Jan 14 2010, 12:52 PM
Whoa wth. I wonder how they will pull this off.
Posted by: Raijinili Jan 14 2010, 10:34 PM
Next up: Riviera anime!
Posted by: Dr Sturm Jan 15 2010, 01:11 AM
I don't see how a Riviera anime is ridiculous. Maybe dull, but not ridiculous or shocking.

I liked KitN on NDS...
Wonder how they pulled it off...

I guess.....only time will tell.

Moving the wisp with a d-pad or analog stick doesn't have quite the appeal it would have as moving it with the stylus would.
Besides, how the hell would one select your weapons when things need killin'?

What the fudge...? *facepalm*
Way to surprise me, Sting.
Posted by: GB140 Jan 17 2010, 06:18 AM
How would you even control the Wisp? The controls for the DS were confusing enough.
Posted by: Flamberge Jan 17 2010, 09:50 PM
WTF
might as well wait for this since my DS is pretty much borked at this point
Posted by: Hayashi Tenshi Jan 17 2010, 11:19 PM
Do you think that they are going to do that Pamela feature again? If they do are they just going to like load Yggdra Union PSP save data?

What about the
Posted by: Dr Sturm Jan 18 2010, 04:03 AM
Good job. Hayashi Tenshi provided a very obvious, very simple solution as a theoretical answer to his question, and what do you do? Ask the same fucking question. And misuse the spoiler tag.
Posted by: Shiokazu Jan 18 2010, 08:05 AM
it will be crazy. but i can see it working with the analog
just think of it as a shoot'em up game plus rpg system.
nothing to get so shocked at all.
Posted by: Hayashi Tenshi Jan 18 2010, 09:43 PM
What about the
The Yggdra thingy is why Pamela appears. I clearly said that maybe they will use the save data for the Pamela event to appear.
There is no Yggdra event,
Play Knights In The Nightmare and make sure your posts don't make you sound stupid so you don't get attacked with mean replies.

Stop abusing the spoiler tag. Spoiler tags are for key plot points, not for inconsequential easter eggs.

Bah, I hate you all.

I'm sorry. I was just paranoid I was going to get in trouble.

...
Perhaps it will be a completely different style of gameplay? Like Yggdra Unison was to Yggdra Union?
No clue, don't you dare let me down, St!ng.
Posted by: Rhiannon Jan 20 2010, 04:30 AM
But Yggdra Unison was just a silly spinoff game, not an actual port or remake. Besides, the screenshots we've seen pretty much confirm that the gameplay is the same.
Posted by: P.P.A. Jan 20 2010, 12:21 PM
Wait, what screenshots?!

I WAS NOT AWARE
Also ugh, this awakens bad memories of the lazy Riviera port. Except in that case there at least weren't any differences in the controls. :(

The way the opening is colored makes me think of the Baroque opening.
Posted by: Shiokazu Jan 21 2010, 03:48 AM
.... god i can feel the fear. it was hard on the DS, imagine how hardcore it will be in the PSP...
oh god lord.
OH MY GOD LOOK WERE THE WEAPONS POSITIONS!
Rhia you're getting the game?
Posted by: mattiator Jan 23 2010, 09:51 PM
Just looked at the screenshots... and WTF.
I'd like to slap the guy at Sting who thought this was a good idea. JUST GIVE US DEPT. HEAVEN 9 ALREADY!
Posted by: Scyth Feb 3 2010, 02:45 AM
Huh... am I the only one who can sort of see this working out? I mean, there will obviously be some changing of the control schemes, but it wouldn't be too difficult I think. Something like adding a sort of auto-stick when moving the wisp around so it's not terribly hard to select a unit, and instead of dragging weapons, you select them using L and R or something (to which the Knight will automatically adjust to the weapon change), and other little changes to accommodate the PSP.
Of course, there's probably (understatement) some flaw in my quick thinking here, but I don't think it will be nearly as bad as some of you make it out to be.
In any case, depending on how well it actually does (I have fairly high hopes for a PSP port), I may actually buy it, if/when it comes to NA.

Posted by: Archeia Feb 18 2010, 10:36 AM
site is now open.

Posted by: P.P.A. Feb 18 2010, 02:01 PM
Things that can be gathered from the site without any knowledge of Japanese:
- There's backlog of the things characters say if you touch them and bring up the pause menu viewable on the setup screen.
- The tutorial mode is more extensive and featuring characters talking.
- Yggdra takes Maria's place.
- The backgrounds are merely upscaled and blurred.
- The controls are like this, whatever the text on there says:
Posted by: elroid Feb 18 2010, 05:06 PM
are there going to add or change the story or they will just make an extra stage like in Yggdra Union? i noticed theres a 13th squad but its still not available yet. I checked on the nds site there is only until 12th squad though...
why is the Yggdra in the Yggdra arc video starts with Maria's picture lol... bug?
Posted by: Rhiannon Feb 18 2010, 08:00 PM
So you can control the speed with buttons (Rai was rait!) and change phases with the R button.
And good, Yggdra mode confirmed. I was going to be disappointed if I tried to get it when I play only to find out that it still doesn't exist. And I'm pretty sure Maria talking at the start isn't a bug, based on what little I can understand that they're saying. And the fact that Maria's face is clearly hiding in the shadows somewhere! Sneaky.
Posted by: lilcases Feb 18 2010, 10:47 PM
I bet the nub will be used a lot for this game. D:
Posted by: Rhiannon Feb 19 2010, 12:20 AM
You can use either the nub or the d-pad, so no, unless you WANT to for whatever reason.
Posted by: elroid Feb 19 2010, 04:04 AM
so it wasn't a bug then. I cant really read Japanese, so i thought both Maria and Yggdra having the same name 'maiden with large sword' is a bug lol. Come to think of it, Maria's sword also has about the same size as Yggdra's
Posted by: Keith Kurogane Feb 19 2010, 08:33 AM
Wait...
If I load the YUPSP Save Game on the KitNPSP... Instead of using Maria, I'll be using Yggdra?
Yggdra KitN Arc? WTFH?
Posted by: Archeia Feb 19 2010, 09:15 AM
I think that's only for tutorial? x_x
Wait...YUPSP save, might just work hmm...
Posted by: Keith Kurogane Feb 19 2010, 11:58 PM
I checked the site and I a video there where Yggdra is the one who woke the King's soul.
Posted by: Archeia Feb 20 2010, 12:10 AM
No it was still Maria. Somehow Yggdra was summoned as well from what I can understand.
Posted by: Hayashi Tenshi Feb 21 2010, 05:42 AM
The opening didn't seem as epic as Yggdra Union's but its still awesome. I still wonder why they added Yggdra as a playable character.
Posted by: Suzu Fujibayashi Feb 21 2010, 06:46 PM
Yggdra was always meant to be a playable character, she was the third route. However it was removed from the DS version due to time constraints if I remember correctly.
Posted by: Hayashi Tenshi Feb 21 2010, 07:07 PM
Is that why her sprite was made?
Posted by: Suzu Fujibayashi Feb 21 2010, 07:24 PM
Yes, and why she has her own 'battle theme' I imagine.
Posted by: Archeia Feb 22 2010, 08:01 AM
Didn't they remove it because there were issues about the storyline is confusing as it is
Posted by: Hayashi Tenshi Feb 23 2010, 12:33 AM
It would have been confusing if I just saw Yggdra instead of Maria
Posted by: Keith Kurogane Feb 23 2010, 11:58 AM
But Yggdra is made of Pure Cuteness and absolute WIN...
Seriously, A third arc exclusively for the KitNPSP... oh god... I'm already broke...
Posted by: xaverion Feb 24 2010, 01:16 PM
Ok, That`s whole thing made me curious. About the game play on PSP and about adding Yggdra in the game.
Already saw the trailer and my comment: Super Amazing!
It`s better than Yggdra Union trailer I think.
Posted by: P.P.A. Feb 24 2010, 10:42 PM
...despite of Yggdra Union's opening being fully animated and this being on the level of flash animation?

I don't think you could fully animate the opening and keep the art style intact.
Posted by: Rhiannon Feb 25 2010, 12:34 AM
You could, everyone's just too afraid to try.
Posted by: Hayashi Tenshi Feb 25 2010, 02:57 AM
It looks like a full animation to me. Not flash.
Posted by: Yuka Feb 25 2010, 03:23 AM
You also have low standards, if memory recalls.
Posted by: Keith Kurogane Feb 25 2010, 03:50 AM
YUPSP Opening is fully animated...
KitNPSP is like watching a flash animation...
Posted by: Dr Sturm Feb 25 2010, 06:11 AM
Fixed.
Posted by: Rhiannon Feb 25 2010, 07:13 AM
Seems reasonable.
Posted by: elroid Feb 25 2010, 10:49 AM
wonder will they put up introduction for Yggdra in KitN

Are you talking about that "I must hurry..." thing?
Posted by: Archeia Feb 27 2010, 02:19 AM
I think the video is the introduction for yggdra
Posted by: elroid Feb 27 2010, 06:58 AM
I mean just like the other characters like Maria and the knights, will they make a character introduction of Yggdra in the website. Last time they took a long time to give the information about Meria and thats around 3 or 4 months after i completed the game lol. although its just 1 ending for both Maria and Meria

Maybe or maybe not. Maybe they will unveil things for her as the game continues. Idk if they will put information on her on the website because the english YU website didn't even put Nessiah yet.
Posted by: CATGUN Mar 5 2010, 02:22 PM
Yggdra sprite sure is nice.
This make me think that Kitten psp may have Yggdra mode.Then again it might just be an extra story which can make her recruitable like a certain character in Yggdra psp.
Posted by: P.P.A. Mar 5 2010, 03:47 PM
Err, Yggdra mode has been confirmed since day the site was opened.
Posted by: Archeia Mar 10 2010, 11:10 AM
The 13th Knights have their own page here:
