Gungnir, Sting's next game Options

[Rhiannon]

AND AGAIN WITH UPDATES TO THE CHARACTER, SPECIAL, AND BLOG SECTIONS.

I'm pretty sure there was no Blog section before. It looks like it's just going to be like the Kitten one. It's probably filled with useful interesting information but since I only pretend to know Japanese I'll just tell you that Elise's name early on was Ecrire. Or... something like that. Yeah, I don't know since that apparently means "to write." Just blame Rai. And I guess everyone who cares about Gungnir cares about that Innocent Sin remake.

BUT ANYWAY SPECIAL'S GOT A FANSITE KIT WITH SOME BIG TRANSPARENT ART AND SOME SPRITES AND BANNERS AND STUFF. And romanizations for the easiest names ever: Alyssa, Elise, Julio, and Ragnus. Who would have guessed those could be anything other than what they are in those image names?

They should have stuck with Eclaire.

[P.P.A.]

They updated the site again, adding a few pages to the System category (with short video clips to illustrate how the game works!) and a new blog post.

I know it's just me but the site got a LOT slower >:(

Boost looks neat.

To me it feels like it actually sped up a little. A few days ago everything seemed to take twice as long to load.

TAKES FOREVER FOR ME. AT LEAST THE FIRST TIME.

The blog post was by Hiroki Asai and I do not understand what this person is talking about. Something about pollen and hay fever. And some "specification text" being over 16000 lines... I don't really know. I should probably just accept that I'll never have a clue what anyone's talking about if I can't hear them speaking.

AND ENZD LIKE I SAID IF HER NAME WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ECLAIRE THEN THEY CAN SHUT UP BECAUSE THEY FAILED ALL OF THEIR ENGLISH CLASSES. And probably never took any French classes. But I just... I know it's a possibility. :(

[Shiokazu]

they should have cling with eclaire. that would be a nice name.

DOES EARTHQUAKE MADE ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO THE GAME?

[Rhiannon]

Famitsu has some preview video thing now.

[Enzd]

Um, is that one old guy in a wheelchair? >_>

I have to stop staying up so damn late. Gotta do some two-hour driving later. Oh well, I'm in a good mood at the moment (unrelated to Gungnir updates).


According to this, Sting will release a demo on the 14th. That's next week. And something-something-something Twitter account.


Blog update about some Gungnir music. A 3-track mini album becomes available on Japan's iTunes. You can listen to samples of the mini album here: http://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/id427920067

Another update to more than just the blag~

They've put up the PV that Famitsu had under Movies, and there's a second fansite kit with avatars/sprites/art of Fiona, Natalia, Paul (wasn't it Paulo...?), and Valery.

[Enzd]

So the demo comes out, like, NOW.

EXCITEMENT

EDIT: The demo is pretty good. There are a couple battles and you have access to a few different classes. The music is nice and some tracks make me think of FFT (that and the awesome sounds that are made when you move the camera around). ALSO there are a couple of dialog options, I'm not sure if they have an actual impact though.

I don't know if this is something that was mentioned in an article but at the start of a battle you can pick who your Ace is. I'm guessing this person is the leader and if they die the battle is lost. There are also flags sitting around the field that anyone can capture; these increase tactics gauge limit (by 2 I think) of whichever team took the flag.

More blag, more fansite kit. THE LATEST BLOG IS SHIGEKI HAYASHI TALKING if that isn't exciting I don't know what is. SOMEONE FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT SONG SOUNDS LIKE I DON'T SPEAK PIANOKEYS

And the fansite kit this time has the flagbanners, some spritey avatars, and a bunch of screenshots. The screenshots aren't very exciting. Unless you find the fact that we have a マルディン exciting. How many people have we had with a name similar to that again? And what were they exactly? Because I totally don't remember.

[Rhiannon]

EXCITING UPDATE.

There's a page in the character section now for "The Inferno." These guys look pretty Kitten. Weren't the Accursed called Infernos or something? They seem to act like summons or something of that sort. One's named Einherjar (Atlus being screwed over again right here), I don't really know what the second one is called but hey it's some blonde angel, and then there's Midgardsormr.

There's also a fourth fansite kit with art for those new creeps, and some animated sprites of Julio, Ragnus, Alyssa, and Elise. And some screenshots.

And since it has apparently not been posted yet... Yeah.

[chrishawke]

Site update.

More characters under Garugandia. Twitter fankit #5 up. Blog update with some comic loaded with tons of Japanese. Good luck reading that!
