There is a big DS written in the bottom corner of the 07.jpg so my bets are on that. Which bodes well for any that actually makes it to console I guess.

Lord of Vermillion, you know, that arcade card game made by square? It suddenly becomes the most awsome thing ever. Why?

Oh, and it seems to be hinting at Drag-on Dragoon 3 too. A grown up Nowe appeared out of nowhere. Wait.. that is Caim, my bad.

No Arngrim? Sadness...

Was flipping through a magazine recently and saw that it looks like Dissidia's Onion Knight has multiple forms? Ninja class and Bishop class it looks like?

Niu, any good info on Sigma Harmonics? I've seen a bunch of ads, but I can't read it well enough to glean any quality information.

Didn't get far with Sigma Harmonic yet... but outside the RPG factor, it really matches with my early impression that it is a rip off of Time Hollow and Lux Pain.
The stylus puzzles where you need to connect the information you gathered, aren't too complex either, but maybe it is because I am still early, thus the clues are obvious.

And yes, Onion Knight has 2 class change, one is sage and one is ninja.

TranceHime · « **Reply #154 on:** August 25, 2008, 10:06:58 AM »

Rip off of Time Hollow and Lux Pain? >_>;;

Hmm... Niu, let me know how it is. I dunno whether to get it or not, but if it's a rip off of those two games I dun know if I should invest time into playing it.

Niu · « **Reply #155 on:** August 26, 2008, 12:03:28 AM »

So far I feel that Lux Pain>Sigma Harmonic>Time Hollow
Sigma Harmonic is still a RPG, so it is not a copy and paste of the two other games that are purely AVG. But the setting and concepts that got tossed around really makes them feel similar. Cannot say much on plot yet of, I am still early and ToV needs to be finished first. But at least I didn't see any major plot flaw like Time Hollow yet, the puzzle also felt easier.

Read further on some of the materials....
Apparently S rank puzzles are pretty insane. As you can't just jump to the solution by picking up the obvious clue, but forced to go through a sequence of interpretation procedure step by step. Though, the inverstigations equqnce seems somewhat repetitious by end game....

Meeplelard · « **Reply #156 on:** August 26, 2008, 05:24:48 AM »

Regarding Onion Knight, Ninja and Sage are his 2 EX Forms, specifically chosen cause they're the best two classes in FF3 (actually, according to a Nomura Interview, he said he wanted to use two classes to represent FF3's system and asked around which classes it should be and those two were the most commonly requested.)

and Djinn, there is no Bishop class in FF3. You're probably thinking of Devout/Shaman, and they dress in Moogle Hoodies <.<

Also, while I never heard of that Lord of Vermilion (...well, name sounds familiar actually, but not the concept), that is indeed awesome!

That is indeed awesome! Any chance of it coming here (and/or release date)?

Niu · « **Reply #158 on:** August 26, 2008, 07:48:23 AM »

Possibility is slim. The arcade gear for the game is pricey. And I don't think it is main stream here to buy a memory card specifically for an arcade card game.
But on the other hand, it'll be sweet if it makes it over, as the machine is connected with its own net work, you'll be able to find players all over the place.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #160 on:** August 30, 2008, 04:09:50 AM »

That is... surprising. Any word on what system we'll be seeing this Disgaea side-scroller thing?

Xeroma · « **Reply #161 on:** August 30, 2008, 04:33:29 AM »

Judging by the size of the screenshots, it looks PSP

Niu · « **Reply #162 on:** August 30, 2008, 06:40:24 AM »

Yeah, PSP

Niu · « **Reply #163 on:** September 04, 2008, 05:39:31 AM »

More Shining ARPGs, they never stop making those do they?

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #164 on:** September 04, 2008, 05:52:04 AM »

But but, this one is on DS!

Curious, though... is this one properly multiplayer? Because the only amount of fun I've ever had with a Shining ARPG was in its multiplayer mode.

-Djinn

Niu · « **Reply #165 on:** September 04, 2008, 06:13:24 AM »

Doesn't appear to be, sadly.
But then, instead of a new title, I'd like them to to get the sequel of Shining Wind out already. Stop making us yaoi fans wait, it should have came out in last year's December.....

Cecil and Golbez confirmed for Dissidia.

so all that's left to reveal is Bartz, Ex-death (confirmed by word of mouth, apparently, though), Terra and Cloud. Any one of this will solve SOME problem along the way (...well, in Bartz's case, its just the head ache inducing "WHAT THE **** IS HE GOING TO LOOK LIKE?" case <.<)

Though, Cecil is holding a staff in his Paladin Form...which is to say they're REALLY using Amano art heavily <_<;

Mad Fnorder · « **Reply #167 on:** September 10, 2008, 09:06:44 PM »

For Dissidia, Is it absolutely certain it's Terra? It could be Celes, based on that most recent trailer.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #168 on:** September 10, 2008, 09:39:20 PM »

Given the Amano Art style, the character on the far left of the Hero Line Up resembles Terra more so than Celes by quite a bit. The cape being a dead give away (remember, its based on Amano Art, *NOT* in game sprites; Cecil's design should be a pretty big tell), where Terra has one in her Art and Celes does not.

Edit: Oh, apparently someone translated the text in that screen shot, roughly anyway.

The most interesting thing is that Cecil apparently is going to be pulling a Zelda/Shiek thing, in that they're not doing Dark Knight form -> Paladin EX Mode, but rather, he swaps between the two on a fly.

...this makes me wonder how they're going to handle the EX form...

Niu · « **Reply #169 on:** September 10, 2008, 10:31:34 PM »

I am more concerned on how Golbez's ex form is going to be....

And yeah, knowing Nomura's Amano fanboyism, he'll probably imitate the art as much as possible.

So no green hair for Terra, then?

Meeplelard · « **Reply #171 on:** September 11, 2008, 04:08:35 AM »

Unknown. Its suspected that she will have green hair since they have sneaking in minor details from sprites here and there (for example, Onion knight has the helmet of the DS version, despite being one of the NES characters), and people suspect that Terra's hair will be green.

That, and there's a blurred picture which apparently, has been identified as Terra and Onion Knight, which...looking at it, seems reasonable (its suppose to be on the receiving end of Cloud of Darkness' attack, which Kefka stops mid way, so it would make perfect sense to be those two characters.)

IOWs, people think she's going to have Green Hair but otherwise resemble her Amano design. But its all speculation...I just hope she does have green hair <_<;

Niu · « **Reply #172 on:** September 11, 2008, 11:33:26 AM »

The in game Amano art has green hair I thought?

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #173 on:** September 11, 2008, 01:34:11 PM »

The in-game Amano art? Yeah, her face portrait does indeed have Greenish hair. It could still conceivably be considered blonde though... Also, all those shiny CG cinemas from FFVI PSX have her with blonde hair, so it's a concern of mine.

Terra should have green hair. It's just what God intended, dammit.

-Djinn

Meeplelard · « **Reply #174 on:** September 11, 2008, 02:05:15 PM »

Pretty sure they give jack all about those FMVs. Kefka looks quite different in this than he did there, for example.

And her hair is very cleanly green in game, in both her sprite and her art.

Not sure how you can claim that to be anything *BUT* green. Can't see see claiming that's blonde in any real stretch, as that's distinctively very green.
