Pffff, I'm not responsible for re-looking up links posted months ago... =)

Hmm this is true. I think I will hunt for it myself. I wish I had an anime screencap to post in witty response...

Wait is the image found here what the original post linked too?

First screens of the game have appeared! (Thanks to the Japanese crew at NeoGAF)

Scan 1
Scan 2

And new info:
- As king, make the town people do work and build the country
- RPG with heavy simulation elements
- Each character has their own way of life (and will react differently from other characters)
- Away from the people's town, there are places infested by beasts
- You can kill them with 1-10 people, and they have different strengths

The game's looking great! I can't wait to see the character AI and how the "personal" aspect of the game where you can cover the action from the King's perspective turns out! =D

Ah so this is the game I was looking at from the scans, I saw those scans somehwere else and in myrush I didn't read from which game they were and I thought they were for DQ4.

Nevertheless, this game looks interesting and quite artsy, I'm looking forward for this game to hit NA.

That sure doesn't sound like a new genre.

Wow, I actually had an idea for a game like this a while back...

I like the way this one looks and sounds interesting to me. Just might get if given the chance.

For some reason I'm sorta getting a Harvest Moon/Animal Crossing Vibe where you can go all SimEarth on the world beforehand?

That's because this game IS being made by the people who made Harvest Moon. It's a huge collaboration between a few big name game designers.

It also looks a little Pikmin with all those people you're putting to work. BTW, LOVE the idea that the king you're playing as is this (possibly spoiled) little kid(brat).

FIRST TRAILER!

Looks really nice! I also wonder who's doing the music, because they are doing a fantastic job!

Stogi · « **Reply #35 on:** September 21, 2007, 04:35:30 AM »

It definitely reminded me of Pikmin, except you build things.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #36 on:** September 21, 2007, 04:39:50 AM »

Turns out Yoko Shimomura did the music for the trailer (and probably for the whole game)... =D

In case names are not your strong suit, she did the music for Super Mario RPG, Parasite Eve, Kingdom Hearts, Mario & Luigi, etc...

You say that like it's a bad thing...

Definitely looking forward to this game, the IGN article states that the game is

admittedly influenced by games such as Civilization and Pikmin

, and to me that is a very good thing.

Stogi · « **Reply #38 on:** September 21, 2007, 08:18:42 AM »

Did I come off sounding condescending, because I didn't mean to.

Anything that reminds me of Pikmin is worth at least a look.

The knight is a total ripoff of Waluigi!

A mix of Civilization and Pikmin? Oh no, this game will consume me. I'm having Deja Vu for when I was reading EGM and they described Animal Crossing as a mix of The Sims and Harvest Moon. And this pairing is even higher on my favorites list. Civ is my absolute favorite PC game series and I would call Pikmin 2 the best game on the GameCube. This is one of those times I wish the rest of my life had a pause button so I could just lose myself in this for a while.

Cool, I am glad I was not the only person captivated by the music in the trailer. I know of one soundtrack that I am going to have to get, even IF I do not get the game.

Crimm · « **Reply #45 on:** September 22, 2007, 10:56:54 AM »

I hope I'm not the only one who felt the narration was really funny. The game looks interesting, especially since there doesn't seem to be any Pikmin games on the immediate horizon (despite what wii controls could do for it).

Uh I think he might have arranged an already existing music for that trailer, I seem to recall it from an opera, classical music or something of that sort.

Even so, I really liked the voice-actors work on this trailer, it all seemed exquisite and I am even more looking forward for this game.

Also, the Pikmin like gameplay where you lead your people to war, treasure hunting, and whatnot was awesome.

Yeah, I know, it's Ravel's Bolero...It's an awesome arrangement of it, though... =)
