While on a technical level the graphics may suck but on the artistic level i defy anyone who say otherwise. DEFY!!

 

[TheWolf]

it looks bad on just about every level.

Your sentence is odd, and I can’t determine if you’re going to “defy” me if I say that both artistically and technically it looks like the video game equivalent of a pap smear. So, I guess you can go ahead and defy me, or not...

Why would you design characters that look like ugly LEGO people?

 

[PantherLotus]

Brilliance. It really does look good. Original character design, great bg's, interesting play mechanic, and WONDERFUL music. And what looks to be a potentially intriguing storyline, too.

Anybody mind if I post about 34 screens in here? Might as well make this the official hype thread.

 

[Lobster]

Wow. Thats an outstanding trailer right there..I can't say too much on the graphics..I don't like it..

Seriously though..the trailer is very well made.

Ok. I change my mind about the graphics. It looks great! but some textures remind of TP

 

[..pakbeka..]

I wonder if this will this be koei's only game on the wii, like mystic heroes on the GC



edit: it really feels like a Pixar movie to me

They got that ugly looking sword game aswell.

 

[rollingstart]

for some reason, watching the trailer reminded me of the south park episode when Cartman went to the future to find the Wii

 

[Speevy]

That's one strange looking game.

 

[..pakbeka..]

oh yeah, totally forgot about that one


wasn't there a horse racing game too?

 

[TheKingsCrown]

I am not exactly sure why, but I like what I see.

why not?

 

[temp]

why not?

Ya got me!

 

[Mudhoney]

The enemy design is interesting. I'm not sure how the battles work, is there more information about this?

 

[Hunahan]

Ha. Yeah, when the video first starts you can't help but notice the character model seems really rough, but once they started to show the combat it really kind of comes to life.

Great soundtrack too. Game definately has my attention now. Well done.

 

[Lobster]

Think so. Koei FTL...except for this game..which looks kinda decent...and I really like the trailer. They did a great job with it.

 

[GSG Flash]

I think the game looks interesting, I'll be sure to keep my eye on it.

 

[Lost Fragment]

Looks like ****ing Lego Star Wars or something.

But hm, this looks turn based, so consider my interest piqued.

 

[Zynx]

I don't like the art - but I'm intrigued by the environment design. Curious about the ball throwing mechanics, and Koei doing something new.

 

[chibcicylist]

I hated the character design the first time i saw the screens but the trailer moved my interest level back to neutral. I'll definitely keep my eye on it. The control scheme is also intruiging(nunchuks only).

 

[Pokeylongo]

The art style is, um, very subjective, but the video looks a lot better than the screenshots did. Mostly because of the lighting and animation. Still very low poly, though.

 

[bgassassin]

Anyone else get an "Earthbound-feeling" when looking at the enemies?

 

[Monk]

I never even thought of that. o_0

 

[Pimpbaa]

Any game with a title with the word poon in it has to be good.

 

[Schwowsers]

I really hate the art, but I don't think the game is bad looking besides that.

 

[Avrum]

Anyone else get an "Earthbound-feeling" when looking at the enemies?

So I'm not the only one...I thought I was going crazy for a second there.

But yeah, I agree with you. I do get an Earthbound vibe when looking at some of the battle sequences, especially those with a kind of psychadelic background effect going on.

 

[Frank the Great]

the music is the best part of that trailer

game looks interesting

 

[JDSN]

Anyone else get an "Earthbound-feeling" when looking at the enemies?

Yes, but people here threat Earthbound like the second coming of Jesus, so any comparisons would lead to Opoona hate. :lol

 

[bgassassin]

LOL. True. The backlash could be relentless. Or it may actually win some of them over.

 

[jko]

okay everything looks good except the main character...wtf

 

[pkasho]

The main character design is horrible, enemy designs are awesome.



Horii (guest speaker) seems to like it.

character is simple. A background is very beautiful. The operation especially flipped with a finger thinks that it is easy and good!...I also want to play early.

The group doing the CG illustrations have been working with Horii for many years (doing DQ illustrations I believe).

I'm not sure what to think of this game. Some aspects just look bad, others -for example the forest environment- look rather nice. Wonder how the gameplay will be.

Horii's description of the UI sounds nice.

Regarding the look, it lacks all kinds of polish and can't really convey the charm of the enemy designs. The difference between the illustrations and the in game graphics is comparable to Elebits...

 

[Chao]

I don't know if this game looks good or terrible anymore.

 

[Creamium]

How can you not like the main character? I mean he has a ball floating above his head.

The ball concept is good, the rest is meh. The face doesn't match the design either. OOP Artifact.

 

[Haunted]

I like it!

Turn-based RPG? check
Interesting design/visual style? check
Nice looking combat effects? check


And playable with one hand. :lol Sign me up!

 

[Stormbringer]

Well I'm pleasantly surprised. That's one really good trailer in my opinion. Great music too.

 

[sphinx]

beginning the trailer I just noticed who old looking are games that don't use voice acting and put lines of text in boxes at the bottom of the screen....

 

[Juwanna Peezadis]

I like it. I'll definately be keeping my eye on it.
