Lacrima Castle _ Yggdra Union _ The Unknown Relation

Posted by: Swiyth Dec 26 2005, 09:07 AM

okay, so, there is or might not be, a chance at all that Riviera might be related to Yggdra.

but thats what we're here to discuss.

okay, so, who goes first?

Posted by: Marionette Dec 26 2005, 02:48 PM

Uhm, well the same artist is used for the cards ingame?
PARADOXXXXXX WOOOOLOOOLOOOOO. *spooky sounds*

Posted by: valkan Dec 26 2005, 04:00 PM

Only for the card artwork I think.

Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 26 2005, 05:42 PM

As far as I know, the only relation is the same as between the Final Fantasy games.
As in, similar names for monsters and such.

That's what I said, foo. D:<

Posted by: Swiyth Dec 27 2005, 04:17 AM

oo.....the same artist for the cards? cool. the artist was quite good.

theres also something about Sturm betting ten dollars Yggdra is Malices mom?

Posted by: blues 3 Dec 27 2005, 10:52 AM

Sooo when does this game come to the states?

Posted by: Marionette Dec 27 2005, 03:04 PM

It hasn't been announced for the US, it comes out in March in Japan.

Posted by: Leyviur Dec 27 2005, 04:05 PM

Well, let's see.

Do the Evolution games have anything to do with Riviera?

No?

There you go.

Posted by: Marionette Dec 27 2005, 04:24 PM

Where'd that come from? XD;

Posted by: regruBgniK Dec 27 2005, 07:29 PM

The "Yggdra is Malice's Ma!" thing was a... very.... out there rumor thought up when this was also rumored to be "Riviera 2."

But I'm glad to know the artwork for he cards will be the same. I loved her work.

She's a girl, right? >.<

No, it wasn't a rumour, it was a prank. Perpetrated by me. Unfortunately, it spread to the RHQ boards from GameFAQs.
But the RHQ users should have known Yggdra wasn't Malice's mom.

Posted by: blues 3 Dec 27 2005, 10:20 PM

Riviera topics on Gfaqs don't last more than a day now...

Posted by: Swiyth Dec 28 2005, 05:02 AM

so.......we get ten dollars each?....

oh well. is there anything alike in Yggdra Union?

save the artist, offcourse.

Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 28 2005, 05:03 AM

No, you don't get anything, because that was a joke.

Posted by: Swiyth Dec 28 2005, 05:10 AM

aw. that sucks. my piggie bank's abit empty now. well, i have 100ringgit. but thats like, 25$

There you go.

I don't think the Evolution games were made by the same people as Riviera, though.

Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 28 2005, 11:00 PM

Sting isn't that big.
Most of the people from one had to have been involved in the other.
Unless they were outsourcing.

Posted by: Raijinili Dec 28 2005, 11:19 PM

Of course they probably have some overlap, but Sting had that whole "2nd Fantasy Title" thing.

Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 28 2005, 11:48 PM

"For GBA"

Posted by: Raijinili Dec 29 2005, 12:02 AM

No it didn't.

Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 29 2005, 12:42 AM

Prove it.

Posted by: valkan Dec 29 2005, 02:16 AM

Doesn't someone still have the old .swf or page saved somewhere?

Posted by: Swiyth Dec 29 2005, 02:48 AM

ah. what does this old.swf have anything to do with the point Rai is trying to make? ._.

Posted by: Marionette Dec 29 2005, 07:17 PM

I'm pretty sure I thought it was for GBA too, probably because of the icon. Not sure if it SAID GBA though.

Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 29 2005, 07:22 PM

I know it said it was for GBA.
That was part of the reason it was so hilarious when people believed me that it was for PSP.

Posted by: Marionette Dec 29 2005, 07:33 PM

And you wonder why Gamefaqs won't let you renew your account.

Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 29 2005, 07:38 PM

I didn't get in any trouble for that.
For the millionth time, I got in trouble for "Off Topic" posting in the Disgaea 2 board. The "Off-Topic" was a thread that asked the question "Adel; Hawt or Nawt?"
I got suspended for mod stupidity.

Posted by: Marionette Dec 29 2005, 08:11 PM

you were testing them! XD

Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 29 2005, 09:07 PM

Yes, but can you read that Japanese?
I thought not.
It says GameBoy Advance

Posted by: Raijinili Dec 29 2005, 10:35 PM

Actually, it says "in development".

Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 29 2005, 10:40 PM

Can you prove it?
No, you can't.

Posted by: Raijinili Dec 29 2005, 11:17 PM

鋭意製作中!

Translate that.

Posted by: Swiyth Dec 30 2005, 03:18 AM

mod stupidity? if that means moderate, that should be changed to extreme. strange way to get suspended, really.


and i guess Teru and Mari are the only ones who can actually read jap, so, i'm out of the question.

Posted by: Raijinili Dec 30 2005, 03:27 AM

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Yeah, Mari and Teru are the ONLY ones...

Posted by: Swiyth Dec 30 2005, 05:32 AM

heh.


so, when will we get another japanese man coming along in here?

yamamoto is one, but he doesn't seem to be on often and he's never hinted at his expertise in japanese.

Posted by: Liger Jan 1 2006, 08:11 PM

ehhh... The only Japanese charactors I can read are the ones that look like Chinese charactors. And my Chinese r sux XD

I'm so out of the question. I'm Puerto Rican.

Japanese is so l337 that my computer cannot read it.

that's the worstest excuse for computers not understanding Jap ever...

Posted by: chrishawke Jan 1 2006, 10:25 PM

Aww, come now. The computer replaces the Jap text with ???, so I can't read worth of anything.

Posted by: Dr Sturm Jan 1 2006, 10:38 PM

Maybe you should ditch Windows.

Posted by: chrishawke Jan 1 2006, 10:49 PM

And switch to what? A Mac?

Posted by: Dr Sturm Jan 1 2006, 10:57 PM

Or linux.
But this is far off topic.

Posted by: Swiyth Jan 2 2006, 04:07 AM

personally, even if i COULD see the japanese texts appear on my computer, i still won't be able to read it.

Posted by: Marionette Jan 2 2006, 04:14 AM

For me, it drives me crazy if I don't have Japanese font on my computer. Even when I can't read it well, its much more understandable than scramble.

Posted by: Swiyth Jan 2 2006, 04:33 AM

XD

oh well. when i finally understand japanese, the first game i would play would be.........would be.........

...
....
......
i forgot the only game that will never be released in english but i've always wanted to play ;.;

Posted by: regruBgniK Jan 2 2006, 11:57 PM

Hmm..... so much to do with Yggdra! :D


~regruBgniK

Posted by: Swifty-chan Jan 6 2006, 12:35 PM

I think Rai's right about the 'In developement'.

I may not get the first 2 chinese characters, but the last 3 words has something to do with 'In developement'. Certainly nothng to do with GBA.

Posted by: Raijinili Jan 6 2006, 05:42 PM

Sturm's just being sirry.

Posted by: Chardes Jan 9 2006, 02:51 PM

And if Yggdra was ever Malice's mom, her name should be Rizuna, not Yggdra.

Posted by: MoloMowChow Jan 10 2006, 06:07 PM

^ ah so true O_O

I never believed the Yggra Union had anything to do with Riviera in the first place anyways...

Posted by: Nanashi Feb 13 2006, 12:17 AM

Perhaps they'll pull a SO3... where you can ifght Riviera bosses and the main character is YU as a bonus dungeon...

Posted by: Dr Sturm Feb 13 2006, 12:37 AM

As long as by "pull an SO3" you don't mean "produce a shitty game."
But anyways. SO3 wasn't the first game to include previous games' characters and bosses as cameos.

Posted by: Nanashi Feb 13 2006, 12:58 AM

^Oh come off it... Everyone loved SO3... it's just the story that's put you off...

Posted by: Dr Sturm Feb 13 2006, 01:04 AM

No, I never got to the ZOMGSTUPIDPLOTTWIST.
The gameplay was shit.

Posted by: Nanashi Feb 13 2006, 01:08 AM

The stupid plot twist wasn't really worth it... and half of the shit explained made no sense... and the attacks... and the fact that if your MP hits zero you die... and the stupid item creation system requiring you to know exactly which amount of money nets which item... is it too late to change my opinion on this game? I think it's shit now :(

Posted by: Chaos Seraph Feb 13 2006, 09:39 AM

Star Ocean 3
Biggest waste of £30. Ever. ><

They could cameo I suppose. They do it a lot in FF games, with summons. Cloud appears in Tactics, there's a Pluto Knight and a Flower Girl who are just like Cloud and Aerith in IX, not to mention a Buster Sword Lookalike on the wall on one of the weapon shops. And one of Zidane's quotes:

"No cloud, no squall shall hinder us!"

And Kingdom Hearts of course.

And I'm not going into the amount of reused summons either.

Posted by: Nanashi Feb 13 2006, 10:01 AM

^Yes, please don't. Cameos would be cool. Like fighting Ledah or Ein with their Divines, and if YU has some sort of Equipment system, earning them and being able to use them.

Posted by: Chaos Seraph Feb 13 2006, 01:00 PM

I don't really want Ein or Ledah to appear as bosses. I mean, weapons, O.k, enemies, O.k, but not the characters. Nuh-uh.

Posted by: Nanashi Feb 14 2006, 12:22 AM

I've always wanted to secretly beat the crap out of Ledah in an Action-RPG sort of system...

Posted by: Chaos Seraph Feb 19 2006, 10:39 PM

It really wouldn't make any sense though. =/

Besides, whats wrong with Ein and Ledah? ]=
