I've always found Atlas's definition of "hardcore" to be "making the game more difficult by half-assing gameplay elements."

But that's just me.

I saw the trailer yesterday... It looked good. Hope they don't screw this game. I want a good RPG on the Wii, besides Fire Emblem.

Does the Wii Fire Emblem still feature the "when they're dead they're dead" gameplay that forced me to start the ENTIRE GAME over in the GBA one?

Yes, and the game is extremely difficult... you have to think very well your movements.

But I'm not a fan of Strategy RPG, thats why I want that Baroque will be a good RPG. And specially, Fragile... that game sounds interesting.

Thats both the best and worst part of fire emblem.

At least with Wii Fire Emblem i don't have to stand up to reset the game when someone even marginally important dies

5 chapters in, and i'm loving it so far, although the lack of mounted units (on both sides) early in the game is an odd oversight

'Heal your sins, heal the world'...

God, it sounds like the lyrics from one of those identikit myspace emo bands. I hope the game can do better than 10th Grade Goth poetry.

If it is even remotely like Etrian Odyssey, I'm in.

...The trailer's artwork is in the Persona 3 style, along with the doom and gloom attitude. SOLD.

Unless of course the advance reviews totally blow. I'm not that blind.

It's interesting to me that Xbox1 games stopped coming out last year (except for three sports games this year that I counted) and yet the PS2 is still releasing games (granted, with varying degrees of success). Sony's made a lot of mistakes with transitioning from PS2->PS3, but I'm glad they didn't neglect their heavy-hitting last-gen system.

How does atlus, a third party dev, have ANYTHING to do with sony's strategies?

People are still making games for PS2 primarily because the PS3 isn't selling, and there is a current gen console with similar capabilities.

It is not in sony's best interest to try and keep the PS2 floating. Every PS2 sold now is a lost PS3 sale.

How can you all hate on a game that isn't out yet. From the trailer it looks creepy, and the promise of it being a hardcore RPG... I'll definitely watch out for it.

Wii is officially going to be the console that gets all the little unknown Japanese gems this generation

Between this, Kiki Kai World, King's Story, it's a Japanophile's dream

@Mr Khan

Agreed.

The Wii will become the next PS2, once the PS2 finally dies. To me, that's a good thing.
