I hope that they won't keep us in a same system again and again... :(

What the hell

[Raijinili]

Apparently Yggdra's a really fat cow now.

Well, at least the staff looks a bit more promising than BU's. Just a bit. One of the character designers is Hiroshi Konishi (who did stuff from Radiant Historia and Radiata Stories) so that's awesome. Really, even without the name it's obvious the art is way better and more consistent than BU's. I don't know anything about the Dokapon dude anyway.

But uh. Is the name of the kingdom really "Euphoria"? Or am I just misreading that?

[Raijinili]

I'm seeing it as "Euphoria." Can't see it any other way at the moment.

[Raijinili]

Character design looks better, however everything else didnt impressived me much. The way they did they style, menu, color,... seems somewhat plain, careless and doenst fit each other , well that's just my opinion from what i see in those first screenshot. Didnt see anything new in gameplay, hope we can get something better in the next update.

Btw, it always reminds me this when I hear Euphoria word :).

Gloria Union's website up: http://gloria.atlusnet.jp/

Nothing but a splash page at the moment. Site's grand opening in around 3 days.

SPECULATION

[22:11:26] <&Rhiannon> Oh right
[22:11:31] <&Rhiannon> Gloria Union later today
[22:11:37] <PPA> Yup
[22:11:45] <PPA> I THOUGHT IT WAS AN APRIL FOOL’S JOKE
[22:11:54] <PPA> Then I saw that the site was put online on the 31st already
[22:13:52] <PPA> I guess the Union means it’s another YU/BU-like game. If you control ships instead of infantry and cavalry… Well, could work. The linking of unions would just be a fleet of ships simultaneously bombarding the enemy one.
[22:14:10] *** Noir!IceChat7@PSI-C716B0FC.dial1.atlanta1.level3.net ist #lcn beigetreten
[22:14:11] <PPA> UNLESS IT’S YGGRDA UNION IN PIRATE WORLD, THAT WOULD BE BORING
[22:14:15] <PPA> Greetings.
[22:14:33] <Noir> Yggdra Union in Pirate World doesn't sound awfully exciting eihter
[22:14:35] <Noir> *either
[22:14:56] <PPA> That was my point, yeah
[22:15:30] <PPA> Perhaps we’ll get an undine named Schopenhauer.
[22:15:45] <&Rhiannon> Oh right
[22:15:47] <&Rhiannon> EVER SINCE I SAW THAT BOAT
[22:15:49] <&Rhiannon> I WAS THINKING
[22:15:54] <&Rhiannon> "WHATEVER UNDINE JOINS IS GOING TO BE TOP TIER"
[22:16:09] <Noir> I GOT A NEW COPY OF CHRONO CROSS
[22:16:11] <PPA> (AND THEN WE’LL GET AN UNDINE WITH HYDROPHOBIA)
[22:16:21] <&Rhiannon> AND THEN I'LL SADFACE
[22:16:23] <Noir> That would be rather funny
[22:16:53] <&Rhiannon> We probably will get something that ridiculous since we had an eternally-drunk Undine in BU :(
[22:17:06] <&Rhiannon> OMG
[22:17:08] <&Rhiannon> YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT
[22:17:10] <&Rhiannon> LAND UNDINES
[22:17:12] <&Rhiannon> IT'S LIKE LAND SHARKS
[22:17:14] <&Rhiannon> EXCEPT STUPID
[22:17:29] <PPA> LAND UNDINES WITH CYBORG LEGS ON A DESERT CONTINENT
[22:17:37] <PPA> *STEAMPUNK CYBORG LEGS
[22:18:03] <&Rhiannon> THIS IS SOUNDING PRETTY AMAZING
[22:18:18] <Irysa> uh
[22:18:22] <Irysa> how would they be undines
[22:18:28] <Irysa> anymore
[22:18:30] <Irysa> then
[22:18:38] <&Rhiannon> Cyborg legs don't make you not a fish
[22:18:44] <Noir> yeah
[22:18:49] <Irysa> on a desert?
[22:18:50] <Noir> haven't you ever watched Futurama?
[22:19:03] <Irysa> nigga those ain't undines
[22:19:19] <&Rhiannon> LOOK
[22:19:21] <&Rhiannon> YOU JSUT TAKE AN UNDINE
[22:19:21] <Noir> same principle
[22:19:30] <&Rhiannon> AND STICK IT IN A SEAT WITH CYBORG LEGS ATTACHED
[22:19:56] <&Rhiannon> I'M PRETTY SURE A SHARK GOT INTO SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON ONE OF THOSE CARTOONS
[22:19:57] <Walrus> and how will that make it a land shark?
[22:19:58] <&Rhiannon> BUT I DON"T REMEMBER WHICH ONE
[22:20:02] <Irysa> DUDE
[22:20:04] <&Rhiannon> We're not talking about that anymore
[22:20:04] <Irysa> UNDINES
[22:20:04] <Walrus> The Oblongs
[22:20:06] <Irysa> ARE WATER ELEMENTALS
[22:20:06] <&Rhiannon> YEAH
[22:20:06] <&Rhiannon> THAT
[22:20:13] <&Rhiannon> AND SHARKS ARE FISH
[22:20:14] <&Rhiannon> SO WHAT
[22:20:15] <Irysa> HOW CAN YOU BE A WATER ELEMENTAL WITH CYBORG LEGS
[22:20:18] <PPA> WELL THEN THEY HAVE WALKING AQUARIUMS
[22:20:29] <PPA> OR WATER-FILLED BOWLS AS HELMETS
[22:20:34] <Irysa> ...UNLESS THEY ARE STEAM POWERED
[22:20:36] <Irysa> AW SHIT
[22:20:42] <Walrus> you're all stupid
[22:20:58] <Noir> [15:17] <PPA> *STEAMPUNK CYBORG LEGS
[22:21:18] <&Rhiannon> OMG
[22:21:19] <&Rhiannon> (Link: http://www.stagepics.co.uk/origamidb/image...12400_Shark.jpg
[22:21:24] <&Rhiannon> WHAT I GET WHEN TRYING TO FIND A PICTURE OF THE LEGS
[22:21:37] <Walrus> ...
[22:23:15] <&Rhiannon> This is the most exciting conversation that's been here in weeks
[22:23:18] <&Rhiannon> You shouldn't hate on it, yo
[22:23:32] <Noir> You guys never talk anymore
[22:23:36] <Noir> And I'm never here :(
[22:23:39] <Walrus> it's nowhere near exciting
[22:23:49] <&Rhiannon> Then your sense of humor is boring

And then we talked about Disney. I hate nostalgia.

[Raijinili]

[Raijinili]

Well I'm glad I didn't stay up all night waiting for this.

[Raijinili]

WHEN DID IT EVEN UPDATE I GOT SICK OF WAITING AT LIKE 9:30 AND WENT TO SLEEP

ALSO VOICES. Going to try to make ridiculous alternative romanizations to any name where my first guess isn't already absurdly ridiculous because I know the official ones will be even worse than anything I could ever come up with if BU is any indication. I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST.

Isht/Ishut: Hiro Shimono
Pinger: Emiri Katou

[Raijinili]

I am so disappointed. We've got an Undine but she's no mechapirateundine. :( And more voices:

Elisha/Ericia: Shizuka Itou
Lulu/Luroo: Kana Hanazawa
somesortofrealname/Zazarland: Keiji Fujiwara
Locomoco: Ai Nonaka
Phoebe/Fibby: Ayaka Shimizu
Raspberry/Lathvelly: Minori Chihara

Making up horrible names is kind of fun.

[Raijinili]

So... we might have gun users in this one? I wonder if they're going to replace bow users or if there will still be some of those. Also, CANDY WITCH.

[Raijinili]

I have a lot of trouble with VAs so if you are like me, here is some help:

Elisha/Ericia: Shizuka Itou
Lulu/Luroo: Kana Hanazawa
somesortofrealname/Zazarland: Keiji Fujiwara
Locomoco: Ai Nonaka
Phoebe/Fibby: Ayaka Shimizu
Raspberry/Lathvelly: Minori Chihara

Edit:
Pinga (Wikipedia says Pinger?): Emiri Katou
Ishto (Wikipedia says Ishut?): Hiro Shimono

So guys did you hear? My state's in this game now. And judging by his voice clips I'm pretty sure he's going to be the best character in the game.

Minnesota Grey: Shinji Kawada
Keela: Shizuka Itou (AGAIN)
