Is this the long rumoured Virtua Fighter Quest, or something else? My frothing demand for more info increases.

Official Site - Scheduled release date = Summer 2004

EDIT: It appears this is "Virtua Fighter Quest". More info here.

Don't ask me to remember it, it is 4 am at this posting . This with Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos, and I know I missing something else for RPG's makes it look good for Cube in '04.

Post by: Rob91883 on December 01, 2003, 04:11:28 PM: I don't really like the character designs in this game, visualy it looks boring. I don't mind visuals for a younger audiance, as long as it's good! I hope the gameplay is more innovative than the designs of the characters. I read on Gamespot that the game is an action rpg like Square's Kingdom Hearts. I hope the gameplay is better than Kindom Hearts, because otherwise you will have to be a Virtua Fighter fan to fork over $50.

This game isn't a fighting game, it's an Action RPG...(It's not in the same line as the fighting games)

I think it looks great, and though I think the male character's design is pretty generic, I'm quite fond of the girl's...Gotta love the blue hair... ^_^

Mortal Kombat movie commercial bit that didn't make it into the final movie cut:

Liu Kang: "You can't run from me, Shang!"

Shang Masta: "I. Don't. NEED. To run!"

Post by: soracloudtidus on December 02, 2003, 03:46:13 AM: I dont mean to bitch or anything but that game looks nothing like Virtua Figther. I like the desing it looks cool, but yet should it be called virtua fighter even if it doesn't look like virtua fighter?

It turns out that both J6 and Sei are searching for Virtua Souls, special bits of data that have been lost in the Nexus. The Virtua Souls contain fighting data from legendary fighters of past who took part in a tournament to name the world's best fighter. It is believed this data can be used by its holder to break through all security constraints in the Nexus system.
As the smart gamer may guess, the Virtua Souls are actually data associated with your favorite Virtua Fighters. Virtua Fighter Cyber Generation centers on your collection of these Virtua Souls and their use in battle.

Sei is the main character, by the way...

(Funny how they say "smart gamer," because geniuses IGN aren't... )

Suzuki needs to lay down a new Shenmue before this hits the stores
