Baroque! Options

[Dr Strum]

Finally Sting puts up the System page.
Notes of interest:
-The Nerve Tower changes every time you enter it, die, etc. EG, random dungeon.
-You can ignore the story. You can so rudely leave while people are talking to you or during story events if you so choose.
-Fighting, talking, moving, everything affects the story. Even dying.
-Bringing up death, dying is not a game over. Death affects the story, and changes the tower.
-You can make items. Combine items to create new ones.
-There's an extra contents sort of thing. Including a Scene List, Event List, Item List, Baroque List and Sound Test. I have no idea what the Baroque List is, Sound Test and Item List should be obvious. From the screens, it seems the Scene List contains various dialogue scenes you have seen, Event List contains story scenes you have seen. Could be wrong, though.
-It also seems you can customize your control scheme.

Sounds like fun.

“If atonement is what you seek, then reprove the fallen truth – bearing the weight of your sin and your lost wing.”

Is the main character a wingless angel or something? Well, angel or not, he does seem to able to equip imitation wings for some reason.

:> This game looks interesting. And I really wanna check it out.

Has any Baroque stuff crossed the great divide of oceans?

[Dr Strum]

No. The Saturn and PSX originals, as well as the spinoffs all stayed in Japan.

[Dr Strum]

Awww. That's too bad.

...

I need imports. Or a computer that can handle a rom.

[Dr Strum]

There will not be any ROMs of Baroque, for it has always been on disc media.

The URL is info enough, because the page itself sure doesn't say much.
It dosn't say anything except that ten random people who fill out the questionnaire that comes with Baroque will win a 2GB iPod Nano. I don't know. We still have no release date.

[Dr Strum]

Damn, I was thinking they would put Baroque on the iPod. Even though that would be horrible.

[Dr Strum]

If they do anything, I would bet the soundtrack. Or maybe a custom engraving; that would explain the seemingly unrelated quotation.

[Dr Strum]

Twenty-four-day warning!
Sting announced today that they're releasing Baroque on the 28th of June.

[Dr Strum]

Haha... this is pretty cool.... I've watched the video... creepy... but I like. :P It;s a bummer I can't afford it though... :/

How about the Gameplay. Did anyone play the original version? What is it like?

How about the Gameplay. Did anyone play the original version? What is it like?

From what info I could find, the original was on the PS1. It's played from first person. Appearently, you move very slow, making it almost impossible to dodge enemy attacks. And you also couldn't see the character you were playing with (even in cut-scenes).

I think this remake is going to be so much better. It's third person (making it easier to see where and by how many you are being attacked), you move a lot faster, the graphics are better, etc. etc.

The original was on the SEGA Dreamcast. Saturn.
