[20:34:51] <Walrus> I'M READING THE SILICON PAGE LIKE YOU SAID >:(
[20:34:51] <PSIGuest-469068498> VALKYRIE
[20:34:52] <PSIGuest-469068498> NOW
[20:34:53] <PSIGuest-469068498> HOLD
[20:34:54] <PSIGuest-469068498> ON
[20:34:55] <PSIGuest-469068498> ONE
[20:34:56] <PSIGuest-469068498> SECOND
[20:34:59] <PSIGuest-469068498> "PLATER'S UNIT"
[20:35:01] <PSIGuest-469068498> OOOOOOOMG
[20:35:10] <PSIGuest-469068498> BEST ENGRISH YET
Just thought you guys should know. Also, Siliconera knows nothing of genres. Don't listen to them except for the "SRPG" part.
ALSO PPA WAS YELLING ABOUT IT SO: http://gungnir.atlusnet.jp/ NOW WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY. Be disappointed in the music with me and blame Kitten for having such an awesome title screen song.
Posted by: CATGUN Feb 24 2011, 11:36 AM
For the second there I though it was Kitten 2 based on some of the screen shot...
I wonder when Sting will start making the next episode of Dept Heaven...
Posted by: Rhiannon Feb 24 2011, 06:48 PM
It actually is the next Dept. Heaven game (and I've moved the topic so that's more obvious, and I'll give it its own forum once we actually have a decent amount of information to discuss). The last blog post http://jajanote.blog5.fc2.com/ says it in plain English. Or uh, Japanese I guess. The point is it's actually confirmed by that instead of everyone being all "OMG STAFF IT HAS TO BE DEPT HEAVEN"
Posted by: Yuka Feb 25 2011, 03:09 PM
I don't like a Dept. Heaven initial release being on the PSP. That doesn't sit well with me. :<
Posted by: Raijinili Feb 25 2011, 03:20 PM
I bet you don't have a PSP.
Posted by: Rhiannon Feb 25 2011, 08:30 PM
Don't worry. The PSP will be dead as soon as this game is released in English.
And then they'll move on to those new handhelds.
LET'S START "SPECULATING." I SAY JULIO IS EMELONE'S HALF-UNDINE KINDADAUGHTER AND ELISE IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING CRAZY IN UNDINELAND THAT WILL MAKE THEM NAME THAT PLACE AFTER HER FOR YU AND ALYSSA IS YGGDRA'S DAUGHTER/CLONE FROM THE FUTURE.
Listen to Walrus about this being VP2. He knows what he's talking about.

I bet you don't have a PSP.
I don't personally have one, but I have access to one.
Posted by: Shiokazu Feb 26 2011, 11:55 PM
how awesome we can wait this to be? i mean... its Sting plus Atlus working TOGETHER!
Posted by: Rhiannon Feb 27 2011, 01:51 AM
Nah. Atlus is just their bestfriends publisher. It's going to be the same as it has been.
Unless someone's hiding something from me.
Posted by: DustyHaru Feb 27 2011, 10:00 PM
Bah, silly Sting and their awful use of roses to cover swordlancesheathweaponthing.
Also Male Lead's weapon still looks like a dead tree.
Posted by: chrishawke Feb 27 2011, 10:08 PM
They seem to be going with the organic look ever since Kitten.

Posted by: Irysa Feb 28 2011, 05:47 AM

Posted by: Shiokazu Feb 28 2011, 09:07 PM

no, kitten was just for the true hardcore audience.
Posted by: Yuka Feb 28 2011, 11:24 PM
I liked Kitten's complicated nature, but I will admit that it was a bit difficult to play, especially if you're OCD like myself.
Posted by: Walrus Feb 28 2011, 11:38 PM
Switching people around in the turn order is pretty RH.
Posted by: Rhiannon Mar 1 2011, 03:18 AM
SHIO THE SITE HAS BEEN UPDATED FOR LIKE 18 HOURS SINCE YOU POSTED THAT THEY HAVEN'T UPDATED
MIGHT WANT TO CLEAR YOUR BROWSER'S CACHE IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY

CACHE CLEAR, BUT, SEEMS THAT THE SITE HATES ME. WHY SITE!? WHY DOES YOU HATE ME!?
Posted by: Rhiannon Mar 4 2011, 04:03 AM
SO GUYS THE OFFICIAL SITE HAS THE OPENING MOVIE UP NOW AND GEE I WONDER WHAT http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/5108/geeiwonder.png COULD BE
Alyssa's "lance" does, in fact, have a bunch of flowers attached to it. That's no sheath.
Posted by: Walrus Mar 4 2011, 06:19 AM
Zekrom? The way these people draw old guys is getting annoying.
Posted by: chrishawke Mar 4 2011, 06:57 AM
Looks as if they're sending children out to war.
Posted by: Archeia Mar 7 2011, 11:31 AM
Am I the only one who thinks their character design isn't as elaborate as the others ;v; (the main's (Julio?) demon spear is awesome though).
Also damnit I want to see that opening movie but the site won't let meeeeee

Playable demo of Gungnir to be made available on Japan's PSN on April 14.
Some other tiny bits about gameplay:

Posted by: Rhiannon Mar 27 2011, 04:14 AM
I really hate how other places always have information up before Sting gets it on the site. :(

Posted by: Rhiannon Mar 29 2011, 03:24 AM
HEY GUYS I'M PROBABLY AT LEAST AN HOUR LATE BUT THEY UPDATED THE CHARACTER AND SYSTEM SECTIONS OF THE OFFICIAL SITE
Posted by: Rhiannon Apr 1 2011, 08:58 PM
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?
Posted by: Enzd Apr 4 2011, 03:35 AM
They should have stuck with Eclaire.
Posted by: P.P.A. Apr 4 2011, 09:52 AM
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.
Posted by: Enzd Apr 4 2011, 10:02 AM
I know it's just me but the site got a LOT slower >:(
Boost looks neat.
Posted by: P.P.A. Apr 4 2011, 10:21 AM
To me it feels like it actually sped up a little. A few days ago everything seemed to take twice as long to load.
Posted by: Rhiannon Apr 4 2011, 03:57 PM
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. :(
Posted by: Shiokazu Apr 7 2011, 09:27 PM
they should have cling with eclaire. that would be a nice name.
DOES EARTHQUAKE MADE ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO THE GAME?
Posted by: Rhiannon Apr 8 2011, 06:20 AM
Famitsu has some http://www.famitsu.com/news/201104/08042145.html now.
Posted by: Enzd Apr 8 2011, 04:02 PM
Um, is that one old guy in a wheelchair? >_>
Posted by: chrishawke Apr 9 2011, 08:37 AM
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 http://www.andriasang.com/e/posts/2011/04/09/270663/, Sting will release a demo on the 14th. That's next week. And something-something-something Twitter account.
http://gungnir.atlusnet.jp/blog/2011/04/post-6.html 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
Posted by: Rhiannon Apr 11 2011, 06:09 PM
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.
Posted by: Enzd Apr 13 2011, 08:30 PM
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.
Posted by: Rhiannon Apr 18 2011, 06:00 PM
More blag, more fansite kit. http://gungnir.atlusnet.jp/blog/2011/04/post-13.html#more 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.
Posted by: Rhiannon Apr 26 2011, 06:42 PM
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.
http://www.famitsu.com/news/201104/22042578.html Yeah.
Posted by: chrishawke Apr 28 2011, 10:33 PM
Site update.
More characters under Garugandia. Twitter fankit #5 up. Blog update with some comic loaded with tons of Japanese. Good luck reading that!

Everything is crazy.

SOMEONE SAID ALYSSA'S LANCE LOOKS LIKE A CARROT
Posted by: Enzd May 2 2011, 03:54 AM
I've never seen a white carrot before...
Posted by: Dr Sturm May 2 2011, 05:20 PM
Perhaps they're thinking of daikon.
