Obscure PSX RPG Zill O'll is getting a sequel, and it's coming exclusively to the PS3. Published by Koei, Trinity Zill O'll Zero is sounding interesting if only for the fact that it pledges to be a mature RPG with some pretty dark themes, marking it out as a more engaging experience than the typical "boy hero saves the world and comes of age" story that has been turning JRPGs into drivel for the past ten years.
The original Zill O'll has seen three incarnations -- the PSX original, a PS2 remake and a PSP release that is yet to hit Western shores. It's one of the few Koei games I haven't been able to find and play, making it quite remarkable. It's apparently pretty decent, too.
We have some low quality images of the current-gen sequel, as leaked from Famitsu magazine. Check 'em out in the gallery and revel in yet another PS3 exclusive. Sony's really lucked out lately.

Keep em comin,squares been screwin up lately so everyone gets a chance to become the new RPG head office in my house(so far Atlus is first for bringing demon souls over here, Vesperia and white knight cronicles havw an interview with my PS3 as well) I got a lot of offices to fill.
I dont even know how to fucking say this
I hope this game is coming to europe!
Anyway, looks pretty cool. I'd gladly take a departure from the overly cheery stories that plague this genre. I'm a bit sick of "Just believe in yourself, [protagonist], and you can do anything!! ^_^"
LMFAO. Did Zangief fuse with a bear?
This one should be great.
Final Fantasy 13 will sell based on name power alone. I can see [/i]Trinity Zill O'll Zero[/i] turning people away based on name alone. It's retarded.
Going from probably the best RPG system ever (the PS2) to one of the worst is a pretty big drawback for a lot of former Sony supporters.
Since this is never going to come over here, can someone PLEASE make a freaking "My Size RPG" for PSN? I still love that turn-based JRPG action, but I'm really not up to playing them for more than 10 or 15 hours anymore. They'd probably turn out better since they could lock down the engine and then recycle it for multiple games that release quicker. And on the positive side for developers it'll be cheaper to produce them and there will be a lot less content that gets created only to be seen by the six people who can slog through a 60 hour game.
