I hope you are joking about that.

When a developer goes with an "it won't sell" attitude into marketing then it won't sell as they'll make sure to make no attempts to push it. Even worse, they'll ship only a small number of copies so even if it does sell the sales get cut short almost instantly.

Of course they'll have to get some better screenshots on the box, the lack of lighting ruins the ones in this thread, makes it look like PS1. Symphonia could do it due to the outlines (and I don't think it even lacked lighting) but here there's really no excuse.

If developers admit the game won't sell, how do they get publishers?

Not buying this game cuz I can't stand turned-based RPG-anything, but the costume designs look great with a decent amount of selective skin on the girlies. Sorta old-school ROBOTECH, but actually sexy.

Sounds more like lonpos or whatever the official name of that is.

After flying under my radar for the past couple months, I finally read a preview about this game in Nintendo Power that got me excited.

The boring/uninformative bullet points by Maxi and Flames leave much to be desired. (Sorry guys!)

Ymeegod · « **Reply #37 on:** March 03, 2009, 06:41:21 PM »

Yeah, had my eye on this for awhile. Still not to sure if "shared AP" is a smart move. They still have time to revert back to everyone has their own mana which is kinda the norm.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #38 on:** March 03, 2009, 10:23:44 PM »

The Shared AP reminds me of the system used in Skies of Arcadia Legends.

vudu · « **Reply #39 on:** March 04, 2009, 02:02:40 PM »

The shared AP is the reason I'm excited for this game! I'm tired of wasting a turn forcing my healer to wack the enemy with a staff for a pitiful 12 damage because I'm trying to conserve MP (or just don't have anyone to heal. Why bother when my main attacker can smash the opponent for 100+ damage? The system seems flexible because each turn can be customized/optimized to meet the current needs of my party.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #40 on:** March 04, 2009, 02:20:09 PM »

I'd prefer if games simply stopped having fragile mages as characters that are worthless unless they use MP and when they do often still don't have the damage output of a physical combat character. These are not RTSes, the casters are not some artillery unit you hide behind your direct battle force, they sit there on the frontline trading blows like everybody else. It's not even a tradeoff, usually each character gets his turn and on that turn can do what he's ordered to, when you decide to use healing or such the only thing you're giving up is a pitiful attack that doesn't even matter, it'd be more of a tradeoff if using a healing spell would mean you lose out on a powerful attack that round or something. Forcing you to pay for defensive actions from the same pool as offensive actions means healing isn't just something you spam mindlessly until you run out of MP, it means you actually have to weight offense and defense and can play riskier to finish a target off faster and such.

That's why i loved FF X's sphere system. It allowed you to create any type of character as long as you put points in those areas--you weren't limited by the characters class.

Not sure if AP builds or stores but you still have your sp to play around with. So even if you have enough AP you might not have the SP to go along with your move. Not sure if SP regenerates but if it doesn't they you couldn't just use one characters to attack all the time.

More Here

It seems that there are Luminous Arc characters in the game.That is a nice addition.

I can't wait for this game too--summer is kinda dried other than exp packs for Fallout 3. It's a shame the Japanese overlooked this game (it only sold 40K and it's been out a month+). It scored 32/40 if anyone cares (which is a solid

Fook me--went to check on my pre-order which was set at Aug 25th now it states 2/10/10. Pulls out hair.

Yeah it is disapointing to hear that it has been pushed back.

That means Muramasa is the only notable Marvelous game release for the rest of the year. What the hell is going on.

Everybody's worried that 2009 will be too crowded so they delay to 2010 and end up getting crushed in the crowd?
