Quantcast



 
I can't seem to get enough handheld Japanese roleplaying, and it looks like the above trailer for World Destruction, which tells the story of a band of rebels who want to literally destroy the world of a ruling class of evil beastmen, has added a new title to my wishlist. I want. 
 
World Destruction has some solid talent behind it , re-uniting three Xenogears colleagues in Masato Kato (scenarist, original Ninja Gaiden and Chrono Trigger),  Kunihiko Tanaka (character designer) and Yasunori Mitsuda (composer, Chrono Trigger and Shadow Hearts) which adds quite a bit of prestige for any JRPG fan. Speaking as an embittered old Sega loyalist, I'm really pleased to see so much good looking stuff being published from the house of Sonic lately, and this certainly looks good. 
 
Now get into Western hands ASAP, please.

Looks a bit like BOF4 in game. BOF4 was awesome.

Haven't been excited about a JRPG in a long time. Like, nearly a decade.
But I'll probably pick this up. Do we have confirmation of a North American release?

A cool game, but we won't see it for a good while. Its based on the anime series World Destruction, currently running on jap tv, so expect this hopefully sometime in 09, unless you want to import it.

Sweet! This is the first time I've actually seen footage of it, as opposed to just screens...combat seems bitchin', although I'm not really sure what's going on.

The concept certainly has me intrigued.

Now I need this and 'Soma Bringer' to be localized. :/

There was rumour of Soma Bringer getting localized, but it was from some random board, so not that trustworthy.

Well its based off the anime we all know how that works out. So it'll probably end up sucking

Actually, according to Wikipedia, the anime is based off the game

You can see the series on Crunchyroll.com. I really love the show, and thats coming from a guy who's rarely into anime.
