1st screen:

wow looks awesome.

...that's not this game.

 

[Farnack]

And it doesn't look awesome...

 

[AmMortal]

and looks crap

 

[Ydahs]

and the scans looks better

 

[jvalioli]

Art looks good! Can't see the screens that well though.

 

[Tenbatsu]

:lol

 

[Arde5643]

It does remind me like an anime stylized version of SoTC.

Who's the team heading this game again?

 

[linkboy]

Forget a new RPG from Jaleco, they need to make another one of these

I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

 

[Olaeh]

The artwork looks nice, but other than that I can't make out anything.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Blue Dragon Plus 8-7-7-8(30/40) for those who are interested.

 

[Dascu]

In other news, that pretty looking Zwei game is coming to the PSP (I thought it was PC only, IIRC). And there seems to be a new Disgaea game for the PSP. Doesn't look like an SRPG though.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Far from impressive though. Where are the high profile titles?

 

[AzureNightmare]

1st screen:

wow looks awesome.

Nice try at humor. Still totally uncalled for though.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Far from impressive though. Where are the high profile titles?

Fret not! I'm sure Rival Turf: Wiiwise is right around the corner.

 

[Shaheed79]

Far from impressive though. Where are the high profile titles?

I disagree the two people mentioned so far to be involved in this game are great J-RPG talents and the art style looks excellent from even those crappy scans. I am eager to see more on this.

 

[Neo C.]

Fret not! I'm sure Rival Turf: Wiiwise is right around the corner.

Oh yeah, first thing I would connect with Jaleco is Rival Turf. Good times.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Meteos Wars for Xbox LIVE.

 

[Dascu]

Death Smiles coming to the 360. Shooterbox strikes again!

 

[GhostSeed]

Death Smiles coming to the 360. Shooterbox strikes again!

Did the arcade game only have two characters? Because the scans show 4 playable.

Also the games due out in 2009.

EDIT: I guess the arcade game did have 4.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Oh yeah, first thing I would connect with Jaleco is Rival Turf. Good times.

They did released one Wii truck driving game.

 

[abstract alien]

Meteos Wars for Xbox LIVE.

Wait....WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!111/////////????

 

[JaMarco]

The scans look nice

 

[Akai]

More ARPGs can't possibly be a bad thing...

 

[Teknoman]

Jaleco = Rushing Beat/ Rival Turf series and Super E.D.F. in my book. The games always had catchy music and pretty decent graphics.

 

[J-Rock]

Scans look pretty good to me. Hope we hear more about this soon.

[TunaLover]

Jaleco's still in business?

I come to post the same

Anyway, I think that I need stop hyping myself for games that never will be released outside Japan ='(

 

[Mamesj]

Well, i guess i HAVE to get it now...

I would buy a Wii for the game if it were true :lol

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pellham]

1st screen:

wow looks awesome.

The sad part is that the actual game is probably going to look or at least play worse than this. Mainly because it's going to be an action RPG and not a traditional one.

 

[-WindYoshi-]

Wow, the artwork is great... really good stuff, I love the mains armor.
Graphics look good too surprisingly.

Great art direction all around - characters, areas, monsters.... looking good.

ALSO: the SOTC comparisons are legit, it even shows the process (in pics) of a character climbing up from an arm, all the way atop a giant beast's shoulder slashing at his head! Definitely inspired by SOTC, even art direction is similar!

:lol

GREAT looking game, cant wait to see a vid.

 

[Black-Wind]

The sad part is that the actual game is probably going to look or at least play worse than this. Mainly because it's going to be an action RPG and not a traditional one.

. . . The "not very well scaned" scans look better than that game.

 

[Ilparazzo]

" What is Kizuna?"

"In your curiousity, you googled it...."


NOOOOOOooOOOOO!!!!!

Exactly what I thought of when I googled it.

 

[vareon]

The sad part is that the actual game is probably going to look or at least play worse than this. Mainly because it's going to be an action RPG and not a traditional one.

And you have the ability to tell this by looking at 2 blurry photographs of a magazine?

 

[STG!]

Wow, artwork looks really good, can't make out much else though. Worked on DWVIII? I'll keep an eye on this.

And on a side note: oh shit, Death Smiles for 360?! Hell yeah.

 

[TunaLover]

The sad part is that the actual game is probably going to look or at least play worse than this. Mainly because it's going to be an action RPG and not a traditional one.

Its a matter of taste, sometimes I prefer more deep strategic battles, sometimes I need go for a more dinamic free action battles. Both ways are great n_n

 

[wsippel]

Wow, artwork looks really good, can't make out much else though. Worked on DWVIII? I'll keep an eye on this.

Kawaguchi was one of the two lead programmers for DQVIII at Level 5.

 

[ivysaur12]

I'll need direct feed screens, but it's still looking good.

What has Jaleco made? I know they did Goblin Commander, and that was pretty good.

 

[Fuu]

Wow, nice art. Really liked the main character.

I'm getting a Drakengard vibe from the screens for some reason. And that's a good thing.

 

[Redd]

Just saw the scans. Doesn't look that bad to me but I'm not a big fan of Jaleco games.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

looks pretty good, actually, eexpecially that boss pic in the first page of the scans

 

[Quixzlizx]

I'd like a sequel to this:

 

[Stormbringer]

That looks surprisingly cool. Sounds rather promising too, from the few details we have. Pretty interested to see more about this.

 

[schuelma]

Looks pretty interesting, but I'm a bit hesitant with Jaleco publishing.

"Ohgon no Kizuna is set in the kindgom of Navigatoria, which has been under threat from the evil demon lord Galvaran for ages. A great hero, Gelade, successfully encased Galvaran in a tree of crystal in the last war, but went missing in the process. The monsters are back, though, and this time it's Gelade's emotionless son Rian who soldiers to the rescue, along with the stubborn, tomboyish Princess Ayna and her personal tutor Mist. "

"The battles in Ohgon no Kizuna are action-oriented, and you'll be using the Wii Nunchuk to fight them. The game has a tendency to throw hordes of monsters at your party all at once, and you'll use the Wiimote to point at the enemy you want Rian to target before striking. As you fight, you'll gradually fill up a gauge on the bottom of the screen that unlocks a screen-clearing special move -- shades of the Dynasty Warriors games there."
