We need a thread about Baroque. I mean, with all of the Sting fans around here, there must be SOMEONE interested in it, right? I am! It disturbs me and interests me but I know nothing about it!
So, let us talk about the PS2 remake, Baroque Shooting, Baroque Typing, and anything else Baroque!
Advanced Angel and Iraiza are hawt.
...
AND, UH, THE MUSIC SOUNDS GREAT
THEY BETTER RERELEASE THE SOUNDTRACK WITH THE GAME
Anyways, for more English informations on Baroque: http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/sting/sting2.htm
Thanks for the link
Wow. That's uhm... Odd. Unique? Something like that. I probably wouldn't get it, I'm not a fan of anything horror-related (I get scared easily ok? ._.).
Plus I'm totally trying to get games that have two characters, male and female. Or have female leads. And well, uh, Izuna is enough rogue-like gaming for me for a while...
That actually looks pretty cool. But the last First Person RPG I played ( Ring ) was exceedingly frustrating. I hope this works out better.
Those flying baby things remind me of those Watchers from Drakengard. ):
The PS2 remake will not be first person.
I just read that. >_<
I'm sorry.
I mean characters you PLAY, not ones who you interact with. Ones you actually control. I should've been more specific.
Then there are very few games like that.
I bid you good luck.
A preorder bonus was announced for Baroque: Tarot cards.

Opening movie was posted on Sting's website today.
http://www.sting.co.jp/baroque/ps2/movie/index.htm
Yeah, I read that article a few months back (Like two?), and that was the article that introduced me to Yggdra. =P
Anywho, the game does look interesting. If I can ever get myself to buy Jap PS2 games someday then I should go check it out.
ohhh, cool @@
i wait for the game , and the movie music are cool . i like =o
i waiting for more deatils about the game =o
Sting released "two" new videos, today. Including game play footage.
Dammit. The fucking game's been CERO'd already (B, the same as RiviPSP), so, Sting, give us a fucking release date already.
Finally Sting puts up the System page.
Notes of interest:
-The Nerve Tower changes every time you enter it, die, etc. EG, random dungeon.
-You can ignore the story. You can so rudely leave while people are talking to you or during story events if you so choose.
-Fighting, talking, moving, everything affects the story. Even dying.
-Bringing up death, dying is not a game over. Death affects the story, and changes the tower.
-You can make items. Combine items to create new ones.
-There's an extra contents sort of thing. Including a Scene List, Event List, Item List, Baroque List and Sound Test. I have no idea what the Baroque List is, Sound Test and Item List should be obvious. From the screens, it seems the Scene List contains various dialogue scenes you have seen, Event List contains story scenes you have seen. Could be wrong, though.
-It also seems you can customize your control scheme.
Sounds like fun.
“If atonement is what you seek, then reprove the fallen truth – bearing the weight of your sin and your lost wing.â€
Is the main character a wingless angel or something? Well, angel or not, he does seem to able to equip imitation wings for some reason.
:> This game looks interesting. And I really wanna check it out.
Has any Baroque stuff crossed the great divide of oceans?
No. The Saturn and PSX originals, as well as the spinoffs all stayed in Japan.
Awww. That's too bad.
...
I need imports. Or a computer that can handle a rom.
There will not be any ROMs of Baroque, for it has always been on disc media.
http://www.sting.co.jp/baroque/ps2/special/ipod/index.htm
The URL is info enough, because the page itself sure doesn't say much.
It dosn't say anything except that ten random people who fill out the questionnaire that comes with Baroque will win a 2GB iPod Nano. I don't know. We still have no release date.
Damn, I was thinking they would put Baroque on the iPod. Even though that would be horrible.
If they do anything, I would bet the soundtrack. Or maybe a custom engraving; that would explain the seemingly unrelated quotation.
Twenty-four-day warning!
Sting announced today that they're releasing Baroque on the 28th of June.
Haha... this is pretty cool.... I've watched the video... creepy... but I like. :P It;s a bummer I can't afford it though... :/
How about the Gameplay. Did anyone play the original version? What is it like?
The original was on the SEGA Dreamcast. Saturn.
Atlus is releasing Baroque for the Wii and PS2:

And this be the official website.

*cheers*
Release date is 03/18/08. I preordered. Anyone else?
I was going to preorder, but I'm getting a different game instead.
Baroque will have to wait.
I would pre-order, but Brawl comes first
Pirating.
I haven't been able to get to a game shop to preorder. ._.;; So I'm doing that as soon as I get the chance.
... By the way, am I just weird, or has anyone seen the rather interesting resemblance of the nameless protagonist and Archangel to a certain pair of Grim Angels? Maybe it's just me. >>
You're not weird. When I first saw the art for the protagonist, I thought: "Wow, he could totally be Ein. And he'd actually match the colors of Ein's sprite more than Ein does!"
I played a few hours of the game, it's damn awful. Sting makes a lot of piece of shit games, but this take the cake.
Really?
Ah well, I wasn't expecting much from an Action RPG.
The trailers looked pretty cool though, oh well, I was going to wait a while before I picked this up.
Is the game enjoyable in Japanese? Because I'm interested in the Saturn version (as I've become quite a segafag), but there's not much point in getting it if I can't get far without being able to understand a word.
Emulate it and try it for yourself, you buyfag.
The game's great, in my opinion, except that I can't read all of it and I keep blowing myself up with stupid things like exploding bones. Well, hello.
Oh, THAT'S what you were saying. I thought you were saying he kept throwing up. So I just figured he ate too many rotten hearts. XDD
Well, great job, Ein --er, Protagonist.
I think the rotten hearts just give him a stomach ache. I've never eaten one, I just saved them for the Cursebringer Angel and tossed them in. Oh look, they're not rotten anymore! *chomp* *VT recovery!*
There's this weird kind of bone that if you eat it it'll make you bleed. Doesn't make you do anything else other than leave a splotch of purple blood on the floor--I can't remember if it even heals you. Weird stuff. If you toss a couple of those to the Cursebringer Angel, though, sometimes you get good stuff. Like nice equipment, because +5 attack is always an improvement over +2 or +3.
Um, wow. Bleeding bones. I'll have to remember that one. Just so I can eat one and run around going "Look, I'm bleeding and I'm perfectly fine!" XP
That said, maybe the Meta-beings are like sharks. Can they smell the blood and come rushing to you? >> Like the Pied Piper, except... not.
I picked it up yesterday, but wasn't able to play it. I'm gonna start tonight.
Baroque is a great twist on the Roguelike genre, and so far, I've been enjoying it a lot. Though I'm expecting a lot of negative criticism to stem about it unless you actually LIKE Roguelikes, since they are rather niche.
Regardless, there is a lot of variety, the real time system makes it a bit more dynamic, the music's good, and it knows how to be creepy here and there. It's not really as Suvival Horror esque as the original, but it's a great game if you want something new out of a Roguelike.
Maybe it is. ._.;; Hm.
Purple sweat? That's so... I don't know. weird. But that's probably it. I couldn't read the names since I was playing a Japanese version. >>
http://www.sting.co.jp/baroque/ps2/special/guide/index.htm
Anyone thinking about getting this?
It might have art after all.
http://www.sting.co.jp/baroque/wii/sp/index.htm
And this...definetly does.
Honestly, I might end up buying these. I like the game that much, I'd buy it if it came out over here dammit. :\
O.k yeah, I am buying them.
I'm ordering the Complete Guide today. Artbook when it comes out.
I'll scan them in and upload when they come in.
I won't get to play Ninja Gaiden 2 now, but eh.
Uh, no matter how much I want to play this I can't cause I don't have the console...
Baroque's on two different consoles. You don't have a PS2 or a Wii? (I mean, the Wii I sort of get, but the PS2 is old enough that the price ought to have dropped somewhat...)
Great game is great. Finished my first journey through the tower last night, and I was really enjoying it.
Also, the music is awesome.
Want the Music? Here it is
Baroque-Music From the Original Soundtrack
I'm working on getting all the items, all for you guys (once I'm done with Riviera and CIMA).
Nice failed link.
I already sent Sauce the OST.
Anyone know how to get the "Murdered by the Sentry Angel" event? Supposedly you have to attack him until he kills you, but how long is that supposed to take? Hayate and I both tried and he's not lost his patience yet...
im interested in the game can anyone give a brief summarry of the opening
The game looks interesting, i've heard but never really looked up info about it.
Don't play it unless you think you enjoy Roguelikes.
I've been slowly making my way thtough. How many times do you have to go though the tower to get an ending, I'm only up to about +10.
The PS1 version of Baroque and Baroque Syndrome are being rereleased as downloadable PS3/PSP games.

Post deleted because it was a complete fail on my part.
:P
What do you mean "as well"? PPA just said Baroque Syndrome was released.
I played Baroque and I kept dying and so I stopped playing. It's scary too ;_;
How did you manage to keep the guy's vit up? like do you stock up on vit injectios or something?
I just ate a heart everytime I got one.
That worked pretty well for me.
i don't kill things since i run outta vit ):
always out of vit ):
