Jumbocock: Can I Really Be the Hero?

Paraphrased: Read it yo'self, fool!

Sure hope someone has already looked into localizing this- wink, wink...
Seriously, game drops in Japan in July and I can't remember a single person on this forum mentioning it yet. But then again, I can't remember what I had for breakfast so it's entirely possible I've already brought it up myself...
Props to Siliconera for the coverage of this title, they've done at least three articles on it. If you haven't heard of it yet, you owe it to yourself to click on the above link I've posted and get an education... It's a PSP/3DS game in development by the greatest collection of superheroes the world has ever seen.
So all that's left would be an Aksys localization, right?

D.Plainview(Il brutto): I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
Kakizaki(Il cattivo): [Edit] That's what I do when I feel threatened, because God gave me a baby penis.

Hit the blue "said" in my original post as that's where I linked the first Siliconera article about this gem from the gods...

Quite a bit of known designers indeed. The premise is very promising.

Indeed... Now that it's been announced as having a similar skill development tree as FFX I'd imagine SOME third party publisher will want to pick it up. I mean, I'd change the name to Epica Stella or something of the like, then focus on it's growing list of selling points. One would think either X-Seed, Aksys, or (gulp) Ignition ought to be able to turn at least a minor profit on it...

Regardless of what the title will be, it'll be awesome.

I'd love to have it, even though it begs for a new improved name.
Or maybe I'll end up thinking it sounds so bad its good.

Terrible name, of course. Also, while the art is good, it doesn't really match up. it's kind of weird seeing all the different styles just mixed up like that.

If anyone didn't get my tongue-in-cheek Epica Stella reference, it was the game whose name was to be changed to Detonator Gauntlet upon North American release. However, Midway got all pissy and threatened to sue over anything with "Gauntlet" in it's title, so name change again to Vanguard Bandits. I guess that was at least a minor improvement over the original title, right???
Susanooh, you may be on to something. If no one picks up the rights to localize it in the States then maybe I'll try to get them and name it something that would rival NISA's craptacular titles... Perhaps Super Awesome Game (S.A.G.), or Holy Unlosing Virus Privacy, My Lord Badman the Qoga Z.H.P.: This is a Game! Yeah, that has a nice ring to it... I'll get started as soon as I can find a publisher for my Jumbocock series...

Nya, despite the fact that I like NIS America games, can't say that I had fun trying to say the names of those games at Gamestop. Still, the names didn't matter to me and they all turned out to be great games nya. Though, I think their might be worse titles, such as those from the second .hack series. Just to name a few weird titles nya...

Infinite Undiscovery - Undiscovering things infinitely... is that even possible nya?
Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs Zeta Gundam - Gundams are popular nya, but doesn't mean your game will be as popular because ya put lots of Gundams in your title nya.
Kingdom Hearts: Three Five Eight Days Over Two - Take your pick how you want to pronounce the title nya. Won't make it any shorter nya.

Oh yeah, didn't they make some MMO called Vanguard: Saga of Heroes nya?

Susanooh: No, don't get me wrong; I love NISA and own most of their games. It's just their titles are consistently absurd to say and with each successive release they are becoming increasingly nonsensical and indecipherable...

^ I think it's a project by a newer company and this release is probably more a labour of love for the artists involved as opposed to some get-rich-quick game... To me it shows that the talent behind it, with all the successes they've had, still care about and enjoy making video games...

P.S.: Siliconera put up another article covering this game on May 13th. If you're still not down with what this game is, czech out the initial article covering it by clicking on the blue-coloured said: in my first post and give it a read. Again, praises be to Siliconera for their handful of articles bringing light to this game.

Sorry nya. Didn't mean to imply that you disliked NISA games.

It is rather funny how some games with absurd names tend to be rather good.

Saw the latest on the game and it reminds me of the Dragon Quest games.

^Which is never a bad thing!!!
Yeah, I'm kinda disappointed no one else is speaking up about it on this site. I guess everyone already has a game they're lobbying Aksys to publish and are hung up on making those topics as long as possible regardless of the feasibility of their localization...

Nya, if I remember that old saying nya, "if there's a will, there's a way" (I wonder if that's even a saying nya...) and I hope this game, as well as the others get localized some day.

Monster Communication

More information regarding some game play features in Unchainblade Rexxs. The dungeon crawling reminds me of the old Phantasy Star game, as well as a few other titles. The monster communication reminds me of the Shin Megami Tensei series, in particular, Persona 2.

Now THAT is a series I wish they would bring back to its roots. The Phantasy Star Online universe KILLED the original series... I really wish they would take it back to where it began... I much rather preferred the Star Ocean feel to it rather than this stupid online universe that doesn't make much sense at all. That's the only problem with MMORPG's... they take an original idea and then try to adapt to it a never constant ever-changing world... and for something like Phantasy Star, it just doesn't work... the plot used to be simple and now its so convoluted it makes no sense at all. ~_~

Since this may be relevant... I saw in the Gamestop Pre-order binder that they have a game for the PSP called Unchained Blade. Perhaps that this game is coming to the US?

The reviews for the game haven't exactly been positive.
