Haha. Good one, Joystiq. Perfect satire on the poor Japanese RPG name choices.

Hmm im intrigued. Although the use of the words "Battle system" seem to kill my hope for this game to be a hack 'n' slash free roaming type RPG.

Running around an expansive & detailed world hacking and slashing up various types of monsters with my own moster type abilities and insane strength in order to progress in a simple yet potentially immersive story... In 3D? Yes please.

Shows some pictures..looks to be a dungeon crawler which can only be good...

Doesn't hurt to have more dungeon crawler options for the 3DS..though I wish there was more info about Etrian Odyssey as well..whether its a port/remake or a new entry..

but I hope this game gets localized

@LordZombie
The art looks a lot like the Fire Emblem series. Thanks for the link.

I don't understand how having 14 different character designers is supposed to be a selling point. To me, that just means the game is likely to lack any sort of consistency or coherence from character to character. There's enough anime-style games out there with that problem already, despite not having a whole mess of people sharing character design duties.

It's not the selling point. It's just cool to know. Especially since some of those artists are fkn amazing.

This is a definite flop in Japan. No question.

The Japanese hate handheld RPG's, especially one's featuring monsters...

Yep, it'll flop alright, just like how FPSes flop in the States. It's like, why do they even bother?

Sorry, Joystiq. "Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel" took the crown for incomprehensible titles.

It sounds good, but it's a first person dungeon game.. kinda had me disappointed considering it has so many famous artists.. but you won't even see the characters in first person view :(

I got the impression it sounds like something like azure dreams. God I love that game. Sony needs to hurry up and put it on psn. Or better yet a sequel.

Azure Dreams was awesome. I concur.

Did you never play Tao's Adventure? It was Konami's pseudo-sequel to Azure Dreams. It, too, was awesome.

UnchainBlades ReXX...what?

I cant play a game like that around people. How could I possibly say that name to someone without laughing of feeling shame?

@The Pumpkinmancer Why not just called it "Rex"? Or "UBR"? Or "UnchainedMelody"?
