FuRyu has released the first full-length trailer for Caligula, its new PS Vita RPG from Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment developer Aquria and the writer of Persona and Persona 2.

Caligula is due out for PS Vita on June 23 in Japan.

Some combat footage @ 1:35

 

[kiryogi]

Good god that framerate.

 

[Newtype-001]

Lol they change the song after every few seconds.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Good god that framerate.

I'm not sure if that's for trailer effect or what, but it's what I noticed during the first trailer for the game and it's jarring. Hopefully that's not actually how it looks like during the full game.

While I can't say I ever really understood the "it's basically Persona" line for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, I feel that vibe for this game. Interested because of the writer, and because of the concept. The music sounds alright, too.

 

[Toxi]

At last, the movie-game adaptation we were all waiting for!

Good god that framerate.

And that was the highlight footage.

 

[Harken Raiser]

What are the odds of this getting localized? Zero? Slightly more than zero?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Looks great. Getting Persona vibes



Is this getting localized? pls

 

[ohyouagain]

Glad we finally get non-simulated sex scenes in video games. God bless Caligula.

 

[jzbluz]

I found it distracting how the music kept changing.

 

[Error]

looks like a cheap Persona clone.

 

[Corpekata]

Awful music.

 

[Shun]

FuRyu = クソゲー alert

FuRyu always mean red flag.

Hope it ends out good but not high expectation of FuRyu

 

[lazyproblems]

I'm interested because of the writer and the premise, but this being a Furyu game means I'm cautious about it. That framerate is not good.

 

[K.Sabot]

Dig the style.

 

[Drazgul]

This is not the Caligula game I was expecting. Where's the orgies and imperial fisting?

 

[Wanderer5]

Holy framerate. Those combat parts are just embarrassing lol.

 

[Finaika]

Is this based on the movie?

 

[18-Volt]

I like what I'm seeing. SAO Hollow Fragment + Persona 2 + high school setting + evil idols = Winner. I hope dating exists in some form. Game like this without waifus means nothing.

What are the odds of this getting localized? Zero? Slightly more than zero?

80%? Atlus has been localizing all of FuRyu's RPG efforts and this one looks like right up in their alley. It has one of their former employees in the development team, just like Lost Dimension did.

 

[levelplane]

Looks interesting.
Sharp UI and nice character portraits.

 

[Rinさとり]

Dat framerate *sigh*

 

[novenD]

I am all transfer students as I am no transfer student and therefore I am a senpai

 

[Stimpack]

Tricked into anime, again.

This is not the Caligula game I was expecting. Where's the orgies and imperial fisting?

We're in the same boat, bud.

 

[Zolo]

n Caligula, the protagonists are locked up in Mobius, a virtual reality world created by the vocal software “μ” in which all human beings become an ideal high school student and spend their days repeating high school life. Everyone within Mobius has forgotten the real world. For different reasons, each of the protagonists realize that Mobius is not the real world and form a “Going Home Club” with the desire to return home, and start looking for a way back. However, there are some members who suffered in reality and sought salvation in Mobius, and carry a darkness that can not be shared with the others.

The premise for the game sounds interesting anyway.

 

[Pooya]

They should have cloned persona's music too.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I thought I was OT side and there was a remake of Caligula, so I didn't even read the OP before jumping straight into the trailer.

 

[nkarafo]

I was expecting this

I got some anime crap instead.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

I'm not one to moan about framerate much but yikes, that is bad.

 

[Cow Mengde]

I was expecting this

I got some anime crap instead.

Yup, same here. I was really confused.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

The premise for the game sounds interesting anyway.

Why and how would somebody give enough resource and power for a fricking vocal software to build its own virtual reality world...?

In any case, I recognized some of the composers of the songs in the trailer from Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F, so it seems that this game is pushing the "vocal software" angle pretty hard.

 

[aibaby]

The song that plays at 18 seconds upto around 41 secs is pretty good, wish they kept that for the whole trailer instead. Since it's the writer of the first two Personas, hopefully it still has the same nice supernatural mystery vibe to it.

 

[Zolo]

Why and how would somebody give enough resource and power for a fricking vocal software to build its own virtual reality world...?

*shrug*

I just know a lot of JRPGs are about experiencing ideal High School life, so the story could be a neat deconstruction about it.

I thought I was OT side and there was a remake of Caligula, so I didn't even read the OP before jumping straight into the trailer.

Would've been a fun thread to accidentally make on the OT side.

 

[Drencrom]

Now I'm sad there is no Caligula game of the film...

I wanna play as Malcolm McDowell and take part in hedonistic orgies dammit

 

[Rymuth]

What are the odds of this getting localized? Zero? Slightly more than zero?

Mind Zero

 

[Sarcastico]

I got some anime crap instead.

Could have been awesome. And would fit the Vita.

 

[Alucrid]

Lost dimension was great, hope this releases in the west

 

[StereoVsn]

The premise for the game sounds interesting anyway.

Isn't this pretty much the premise for Angel Beats? Also, this wasn't Caligula I was looking for. Was hoping for Malcom McDowell as VA . If this comes to NA and gets a dub whoever publishes needs to give him at least a cameo.

Edit: Why the name for the game in general? Are they burning Tokyo, having orgies, pitting Christians against lions? I mean it's just a really weird name for a random Japanese RPG.

 

[StereoVsn]

Lost dimension was great, hope this releases in the west

Eh no, it really wasn't. The concept was interesting but I thought he game and the execution was mediocre.

 

[kriskrosbbk]

These games are so retard.

 

[Fisico]

The premise for the game sounds interesting anyway.

That sounds a bit like Angel Beats.
I'm not sure that's a good thing.

 

[The Silver]

again, why the hell is this not set in the Roman empire, what a missed opportunity

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Edit: Why the name for the game in general? Are they burning Tokyo, having orgies, pitting Christians against lions? I mean it's just a really weird name for a random Japanese RPG.

カリギュラ効果 or "Caligula effect" is a psychological inclination to covet something because it is prohibited. I couldn't find any English reference to this, so perhaps this is a Japanese-only term.

 

[KainXVIII]

We need Tinto Brass Edition of this game.

 

[Chaos17]

Doesn't look bad, I might interested to get it on my vita.

These games are so retard.

How so ?
Playing a virtual game where your avatar never age is normal.
Just they can't log off so actualy we don't know the real age of the characters.
I do like that part.

 

[Erevador]

Will Bob Guccione shoot extra explicit scenes for the DLC?

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

*shrug*

I just know a lot of JRPGs are about experiencing ideal High School life, so the story could be a neat deconstruction about it.

It could be. Though, this sort of games tend to have some fantastical and interesting concepts that align to my taste, but execute them pretty horribly. So I am cautiously looking forward to this.

 

[lostsupper]

Tricked into anime, again.



We're in the same boat, bud.

We'll learn eventually.

 

[ponpo]

These games are so retard.

O..oh.

 

[2+2=5]

Frame rate apart looks really good! I hope they'll fix it.

Did anyone else noticed that after the fight classmates reappered? I guess that quests and fights don't take place in dungeons in some alternate dimension.

 

[Resilient]

Pre-orders are open for people still interested.

 

[Aters]

This thread reminds me that it's time for Santa Monica to make some Roman awesomeness.
