Finally polished off Professor Layton and the Unwound Future a few nights ago as part of my push to clear out some of my "started but didn't finish" backlog of games before I get a big dump of ~30 more from Steam sales, Kijiji, and summer releases.

Currently working my way through Scurge: Hive (beat it once on an emulator with cheats, but now that I finally have a physical copy I definitely want to beat it properly) and Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. With those done I'll only have 14 games left in my 3DS/DS library to get through before I can finally not feel guilty about starting up Bravely Default and Nano Assault EX.

Apologies for the necro, but the English version of Baroque is also available on iOS, in case anyone missed it. It's free, but you need to pay to play the whole story. Also includes a score attack mode.

Yes, that knock-off mechanic has resulted in many infuriating moments.

Also, Capture is freaking awesome in the early stages.

So I picked this item up from the store around Chapter 2, has a IV-type attack called 'Mortal Regret' that has a whopping 67 total attack power (meaning it hits for 1 damage against the early-game enemies), along with potentially adding Poor Aim.

Should I be bothering with this weapon at all? It's a pain to increase the Mastery of it, but I'm sticking with it out of hope that it'll become usable at some point.

EDIT: It seems at a mastery of 13 it unlocks Root Blade. Still uselessly weak compared to the Iron Sword +3 you begin the game with.

Follows the story of a young man named Garlot and his companions in a quest to overthrow the corrupt Bronquian emperor.

I just ordered the soundtrack from PlayAsia, so I should be able to get scans for it soon.

Discuss the game and anything about it here.

When I first saw this topic I thought it was referring to the fangame I announced a while ago with the same title.

Alas, it does not appear Sting is working on a sequel to Riviera, yet. I think a sequel could easily work off of it, since the gods are still jerks and the Sprites are still clueless.

FYI, the soundtrack is available (two-disc set), I ordered a copy, and while I wait for that to arrive in a month or so, I got myself the files, and.... OHMYGODTHISISAMAZING.

Absolutely, without a doubt, Shigeki's best work since Baroque (personal favorite of his work). Possibly better than Riviera as well. And way better than KITN.

Doubt it, considering how much merchandise the average Sting game gets in North America. Unless Atlus decides to localize the game (which I'm doubtful of), and "Atlus Spoil" it, (which I'm VERY doubtful they will), these will likely never come to North America unless someone buys the JPN version.

The game releases on the 27th of May, according to the new trailer.

And it appears a lot of the previous charachters from YU are returning.

DO WANT! DO WANT! DO WANT!

Maybe THIS game will finally get me to get off my lazy ass and get a PSP.

Just looked at the screenshots... and WTF.

I'd like to slap the guy at Sting who thought this was a good idea. JUST GIVE US DEPT. HEAVEN 9 ALREADY!

Chubby Ein?

...

Perhaps it will be a completely different style of gameplay? Like Yggdra Unison was to Yggdra Union?

No clue, don't you dare let me down, St!ng.

I must say, I rented FF:TSW and really liked it. It didn't deserve to do nearly as badly as it did, but I agree it wasn't at all Final Fantasy.

Back on topic, I think a Yggdra Union movie would be awesome, but there's basically zero chance of it happening. Heck, I think we'd see Super Mario Bros 2 before that.

Excellent artwork, there! This really deserves to be on the site.

See you online in 3 years. When the price hits that point.

Halo 3: ODST...

Wake me up when the price hits $15. Then it's worth the money.

Ending B is not the ending you're saying. That's Ending C. And I haven't played the PSP game. And I guess that idea behind #367 does make sense, but aren't angels immortal anyway?

I'd personally think it would take place about 1000 years before Riviera, with Ending B being the canon ending in that case. Ending A... Not so sure.

Well, PPTHeaven eCon was delayed until december, so we won't get the new demo until then. But here's a trailer. And yes, I know the video quality sucks hard.

EDIT: Oh, and CATGUN, the music is in fact remixed from Riviera (It's the PSP version)

Run. Fast.

And kill everything in sight.

Oh, and for those who are O.K. with cheating...

Abuse the chicken-brained save system.

Let's see... In no particular order....

Strategy:
Luminous Arc 2 (It's better than the first one)
SMT: Devil Survivor
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (If you played the first one, this one is a huge dissapointment in comparison, but it's still ok)
Knights in the Nightmare (Of course!)

Action/RPG:
Legacy of Ys: Books I&II
The World Ends with You

Shoot-em-up:
Metroid Prime Hunters

Heh, I tried this at a friend's place once. Can't say I was that good, but I like v-13. But here is the problem I had with the game:

"Openin..."
"ICICLECAR!"
"ICICLECAR!"
"Alter..."
"ICICLECAR!"
