Fuckin hell, this is what Kato's wasting his time on?

 

[RPGCrazied]

I love the premise of this, sounds cool, then I saw the screenshots. Looks terrible. How come most mobile games have to look like facebook games?

 

[Ganondorfo]

I was suspicious of this thread, because I expected the same reactions as when Final Fantasy 7 remake got announced, because the creators of one of the Gaf darling jrpg favorite should get everyone happy.

But then I saw the lack of respones and clicked on this thread and saw the screens and understood why and also I can sympathize with the dissapointment everyone is feeling now.

 

[Fusilli Craig]

Got pretty nervous since it was the first time...

Dude, it's an internet forum not a job interview.

Also, mobile chibi art is the worst.

 

[KojiKnight]

Kato.... You're so much better than this.

 

[Patapwn]

Chibi shit

 

[King Gilga]

U G L Y

 

[RPGCrazied]

Are we ever going to get an epic 16-bit jRPG again? Those times are over I suppose, nostalgia is a bitch I guess.

I think the answer is $$$.

Mobile games don't have budgets that $60 do. The actual art teams hired as well could also be novice.

 

[Parakeetman]

Jesus this looks like shit.

And not just any shit.

GENERIC shit.

What a waste of the talent involved.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

One of them could be mistaken for a vocaloid

 

[wmlk]

Not like this...

 

[entremet]

I really don't mind mobile. I have an iPad for that.

I just hope these games come here.

Fans of Japanese gaming need to really accept that mobile is a big player.

Stop complaining in every thread about a mobile project. RPGs are also some of the most touch input friendly genres, so I'm fine with them.

We do have Setsuna coming, and that seems to hit off a lot of right cues.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

If Square Enix was the developer of this game, they would totally have called it Chrono Break.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

God, I'm just seeing this now. What a waste of talent.

 

[Servbot24]

I don't understand why there seems to be a mandate on mobile games to have generic and plain graphics. It should be the perfect device for RPGs, but no one is even trying to make something good.

 

[BadWolf]

That... doesn't look good.

Yes, from the TGS footage it looks to be a beautiful looking classic jrpg.

 

[DannyDanger]

Eww

 

[GuardianE]

Thx.

Translating and summarising took some time and honestly, I was confident with the content, but I guess I screwed up. Maybe should of emphasised in bold text that it was a mobile game at the top of the OP or maybe the title.

From now on, I guess I'll just create an OP, send it to some one who has experience or a mod, and ask them if they could fix any parts I screwed and post it for me =/

Your OP is fine. I wish a lot of people on this forum put in half the level of thought you did before making a thread.

It has nothing to do with it being a mobile project.

The game just looks bad.

 

[fedexpeon]

Very disappointed. Not much to say with those screenshots.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

At least we know for sure the music will be good.

Yasunori Mitsuda is going to create the opening theme.

Well, one track.

 

[Xelinis]

Who is Taka Daisuke?

 

[Famassu]

Good graphics don't come for free. The budgets of mobile games are small for a reason. Some bigger publisher have the money to spend on mobile games and make prettier ones, but even they usually cut corners in many noticeable ways.

 

[hurricanes]

Look awful.

 

[Battlesmurf]

Creators had me hyped but the pictures are terrible

Yeah, my knee jerk reaction is the same.

I'll keep an open mind though.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

maple story?

 

[Pejo]

Really really disappointing artstyle. I like some of the other stuff about it though. Looks like Japanese Farmville minus the farm and adding a cat.

 

[Koppai]

Is this a mobile game? :/

 

[.JayZii]

Is this a mobile game? :/

It's literally the first sentence of the OP.

 

[Koppai]

It's literally the first sentence of the OP.

My bad, I glanced at the pics first and read part of it but not the first line. It's kinda disappoiting looking.

 

[DrFunkatronic]

Was hype, then I saw that it was a mobile game. Then I saw screens

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

... I like it.

 

[birthday-suit]

I could've done better character art.

That

Is

Terrible!

 

[punkmaggit]

Same.

 

[Akronis]

The fuck is this Maple Story ass art?

 

[AtomskEater]

Thx.

You did fine creating the thread, it's just better to mention the platform in the title so people don't feel "tricked" with a super-promising sounding game that it is on phones.

Mods can always fix up titles after the fact anyway so it's nothing to worry about if you forget.

 

[poodaddy]

Was hype till I saw the screens. Now I kinda feel like crying.

 

[Psxphile]

Pft. Not even gonna sweat it, since I doubt we'd ever see it localized.

Kato.... You're so much better than this.

Yeah, he should go back to working on Ninja Gaiden.

 

[Necromanti]

Y'all comparing it to Maple Story are crazy. I wished it looked that good.

 

[ScribbleD]

Something that will raise everyone's hopes, but the platform isn't stated in the title? It's mobile. Every. Single. Time.

And that art...that's depressing.

Y'all comparing it to Maple Story are crazy. I wished it looked that good.

Preach it.

 

[Trike]

those aren't really the two I would credit as the creators of Chrono Trigger if I had to pick only a few people. Which is why how the game looks shouldn't be too shocking. Look at them, walking around and not battling on a grid like plebes.

 

[Codeblue]

I don't really mind that it's a mobile game since they said they were trying to get away from the social stuff. Hopefully they also get away from any model where I don't pay up front to experience the entire main scenario.

Those screen shots look super unappealing though.

Great work on getting this info out there, OP. Thanks.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

At least there is a better Kato game upcoming.

 

[BY2K]

Wow, that looks a LOT like Maple Story.

Same artist?

 

[wrowa]

At least there is a better Kato game upcoming.

I thought that game has almost no story anyway.

 

[Parley]

...fighting back the tears of sadness

 

[Dynasty8]

Sad times we live in. It's an overload of anime and chibi stuff.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Interestingly World of Final Fantasy has pretty much the same "chibi" artstyle, but it looks much better in 3D:
