Very nice announcement.

The original has been on my to play list for a while. So this works out quite well for me.

It's a remake of a Super Famicom game. It's a turn-based RPG where you play through different scenarios, each set in a different time period. It's very short for an RPG, but still very good.

Yeah. First chapter in particular is infamous for taking place before writing, so the story is done entirely without dialogue. It's one of the SNES' most experimental RPG.

I'll keep an eye on this. It's not that I'm uninterested in it, but I have a ridiculously large backlog and an RPG isn't going to help make it smaller.

Help me. I can't get it out of my head.

Like, the game itself.

Heard good things, and lets be honest.

We all just wanna play Odio and nuke the hell out of everything.tongue

[up][up] There's a surprisingly sad ending if you do pick Odio at the end.

Live a Live is pretty much the OG Genre Deconstruction of JRP Gs, before FF 7, Undertale, Drakengard/Nier and the like.

[up][up] Oersted is legit one of the most compelling and tragic JRPG protags.

But saying anymore would be spoiling it.

Can't wait to use Sundown. I love how each chapter seems to be expanded upon.

Unfortunately, the game will cost $40, which is very high for such an old and short game.

I mean, there are scenes in the trailer that AREN"T in the OG game.

So I imagine this is going to be one of those remakes that are vastly expanded upon.

I'm fine with it because its not just a remaster, but a built from the ground up remake in the same vein as Dragon Quest III HD. That, and it would cost less then what it would have been back when it first released in Japan.

[up] One idea I thought of would be an extra phase to the final battle that ends in an MGS 4 Slug fest with an even more tragic version of one of the games OST's playing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the only pupil for the China chapter shown in the trailer is Li Kugo. Was she the most popular of the three pupils when the Suoer Famicom game was released?

[up] Yeah, she's the most popular one, even though the kid was the one who was hyped by the story.

Because she's the only girl player character in this game.

But I'm sure that the other pupils are in too.

[up][up][up] I do recall that you can fight Oersted one on one during the final boss battle but only if you choose to execute him, and it's just a game over.

Now, there are two things I know about this game: it is the Trope Codifier for Player Punch, and it is the main musical inspiration for Toby Fox. I feel like those two things alone are enough to want to play it from an academic standpoint, regardless of how well everything holds up.

Oh yeah, Megalovania and Megalomania keep getting compared.

As well as Odio and Chara. I see similarities thematically but not character wise.

I seriously recommend playing it blind. I went in knowing the big twist, but I was still hit hard, I imagine it will hit much better if you don't know anything.
