I KNOW


I'VE BEEN SLACKING LATELY

Bumping this to calm your collective nerves; it's a good game.
It's nothing stellar (or maybe it is, I haven't been able to play online yet, I don't know what's waiting for me there), but it's definitely good.


Vanessa's theme song = pwn.
... And Vanessa in general. She's fucking painful, man. Seriously. Barely beat that battle. Only because Heath is so ungodly powerful, too.

[Dr Strum]

I guess I do have this to say, though, for those that play it if/when it comes out in America:
GO BACK TO THE WORLD MAP AND FUCKING SAVE

Seriously.
The basic flow of the game is this:
World Map -> Town -> An hour of dialogue -> Choice time (Shop, Talk, World Map, Continue) -> Battle -> Another hour of dialogue -> World Map.
When you get to choice time, talk, then shop, then go to the world map and save. Seriously. There's no way to fast forward through the dialogue like in Riviera and YU. And it sucks when you fail a battle and don't GO BACK TO THE WORLD MAP AND FUCKING SAVE.


Just a friendly reminder.

I like the glasses girl /o/

[Dr Strum]

She's not my favourite character but she's cute.

[aerozero]

[Megaolix]

Look interesting... But it seems so far that the chances of having it in NA are close to none.

Atlus USA announced it for US release.

ATLUS U.S.A., INC. ANNOUNCES
LUMINOUS ARC!
Protect the Light. Condemn the Dark. Fight for peace.


IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — MARCH 2, 2007 — Atlus U.S.A., Inc., a leading publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced the acquisition of the North American publishing rights to Luminous Arc, a strategy RPG exclusively for the Nintendo DS™, and planned for release later this year.

About Luminous Arc:
One thousand years ago, dragons and Witches warred against God for the fate of the world. God's power was triumphant, but it was a difficult struggle, and the deity sent Himself into a deep sleep to recover from the terrible wounds he suffered in the battle. Ten years ago, the Church has proclaimed that a great event will soon occur: God will be reborn, and the world will be led into a new golden age under His guidance. However, this news is coupled with a grave warning: the Witches will soon reappear to begin the millennia-old conflict once again.
Take control of the Garden Children, a group of fighters and mages trained since childhood and dedicated to eradicating the Witch threat, and discover the mysteries behind their return, their motives, and their history!

Luminous Arc Key Features:
* An isometric strategy RPG on the Nintendo DSâ„¢!
* Create new weapons and equipment with the Vitae Imbuing system!
* Strengthen your friendship with comrades and improve your attacks on the battlefield!
* Compare your friends' strategic prowess against your own with Wi-Fi multiplayer!
* A variety of unique characters drive an epic story featuring voiced dialogue!

Interesting... God vs Witches. That's a different concept. The characters look nice, I might buy this. I dunno though, I got a lot of stuff I need to get for my DS now...

Do I daresay it...? I need a job. ._.

The music sounds not too bad either. And wow. Makes me think of Tactics Ogre, which I loved.

Looks like I'll probably buy this, depending on my money situation when it comes out... Any idea when it's coming out here to the US?

Looks like this year will turn out to be a good year for RPG fans with DSs.

Somebody never played Xenogears... :X

Yeah, we're getting a whole TWO this year.

Two that we know about.

And besides, Etrian Oddysey could take you forever to get done with.
