Yesterday we shed light on a mysterious new project from Square Enix known as Blood of Bahamut. As the official site continues to count down, Weekly Jump Magazine has officially revealed that Blood of Bahamut will be a brand new DS RPG.
Because the DS needs more RPGs!
This new game will feature four-player co-op, as warriors and sorcerers do battle against giant monsters. Like idiots, the people of this game's world built cities on the backs of sleeping beasts. These creatures have now woken up, and housing prices are being driven considerably down ... probably.
Ibuki is the main protagonist, a member of the Giganto race -- named so because his people reside on the back of a creature who goes by the same moniker. He will be joined by Yui, a childhood friend who is fighting to protect her town after seeing the monsters wake up.
Squeenix is due to show more at the Jump Festa event in late December. Stay tuned on Monday, when the Blood of Bahamut site officially opens.

I think the game would be much cooler if it was on an HD console. I don't think a small DS screen could give justice to cities built on the back of giant monsters.

Anyway, sounds pretty spiffy.
Oh well, I'm sure this will be wonderful too. I just hope they don't jam too much uneccesary touch control nonsense down its bum. I dont' care what the rest of the world says, The World Ends with You was abysmal. I am not hoping for a repeat.
Whats that I see?! Is it sprites?!
I mean, that picture on the teaser site is crazy awesome, so now, instead of getting MORE of that, we get giant walking cardboard box monsters.
The hell?
I really am.
It's pathetic.
Wow.
If 69% of all portable gaming is done at home... why the FUCK can't we get these games on consoles... I would even accept them as PS3 releases(though I don't even own one, and my 2nd box went RRoD 20 mins ago)... handhelds in these cases, in my opinion, are unacceptable.
@Gen: Lul, don't tell me you pay attention to anything he says?
