One of the 31 titles Microsoft pimped at a Japanese press event today was Magna Carta 2, a role-playing game from developer Softmax set to launch this August out East. Judging from the Japanese debut trailer, Magna Carta 2 will feature such role-playing game innovations as: Brooding anti-heroes; effeminate gentlemen; hair that slightly covers one eye; and what we can only assume is supreme magics.
No, you haven't played this game before ... but you probably played something just like it three times this generation. Okay, to be fair we have no idea what's going on in the completely Japanese trailer but it all looks a bit familiar. Maybe we're wrong or maybe the bad J-rock got to us. Watch it after the break and decide for yourself.

This game was announced like 3 years ago and NOW we see more of it. I thought it was canceled due to the lack of info on it. Hope it's good, I want more JRPGs next to my Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia (and Final Fantasy XIII when it comes out).

It's too bad they couldn't replicate the character artist more closely with their 3d models. It looks like a PS2 game.

Unsurprisingly, Xav is still his old cynical self.
