Since screenshots don't get talkback threads this is now the Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja talk thread.

I'll start with this comment:

I'm sure Bill agrees.

(if you don't look closely at the front page before entering the forums, I'm talking about this)

Play-Asia says it's coming in... you guessed it... FEBRUARY!

Bill?! Just Bill my ass! I loves it! I just hope it plays as good as Shino and Izuna look...[/drool]

What's sad is that I don't even like dungeon crawlers and I'll still end up getting this for the super cuteness and awesome Atlus localization...

Kairon · « **Reply #3 on:** January 04, 2007, 06:38:37 AM »

I've vowed to quit the random dungeon crawler genre, but I'll be picking this game up anyways for charm alone!

Oh man the ninja girls are juicy.

I want this game but seeing that Atlus is doing it I'll have to preorder it or something to avoid getting stiffed on the limited run.

This game sold me for one reason: one of the female characters in the screen shot was saying, "Maybe I should get a personality."

If the humor like that continues throughout, I'll definitely grab it.

At first I thought the one piece of art might be too innocent to be suggestive...

But then I found this...

couchmonkey · « **Reply #8 on:** January 05, 2007, 03:34:28 AM »

Is that for real, though? It looks a little different from the rest of the art. (edit: *drool*)

Like Bill, I'm not a dungeon crawling fan, but I may have to check this out just for the girls. And the funny dialogue.

MegaByte · « **Reply #9 on:** January 05, 2007, 04:05:06 AM »

Yeah it's for real. It shows up multiple times on both the Japanese publisher's and developer's websites as well as in an art book, which I'm assuming this SAMPLE is advertising.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #10 on:** January 05, 2007, 04:52:58 AM »

should've been indicative of the whole game.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #11 on:** January 05, 2007, 06:45:36 AM »

It says "action adventure" on the Play-Asia item description. Is it a roguelike or do enemies move independently of the character?

Pfft, no duh she's unemployed. She's wearing BRIGHT RED. Ninjas are stealthy, wearing bright red != stealthy...

Smoke39 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 05, 2007, 08:54:43 AM »

Bright red could be stealthy if you're in a place with lots of bright red stuff...
Hiding in plain sight! It's innovative!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #14 on:** January 05, 2007, 09:53:04 AM »

She doesn't need stealth for the jobs I'll give her.

Ninjas didn't wear anything that would identify them as ninjas, the kunai is popular because it's a gardening tool and as such would not be very suspicious during a search. These days ninjas would probably wear a suit and a silenced Walther PPK (or various movie-inspired equipment in the case of a Russian one, the Soviets thought US spies had all of those Bond gadgets so they wanted to keep up with that technology). Female ninjas usually assumed the jobs of prostitutes (although the existence of female ninjas is disputed, "kunoichi" are probably the creation of fiction writers).

Izuna is a fiction ninja with all that magic stuff so she could probably bust in through the front door and annihilate an entire army. If I had people of such power I'd probably not dress them in stealthy garb, I'd make them visible from far away so my enemy would panic long before the actual slaughter begins.

Good thing I waited, was about to import it at one time thinking it would never be released here.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #17 on:** January 06, 2007, 08:51:14 PM »

I'd never try importing an RPG.

You know Pro I doubt initially she be bright red with your jobs either.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #19 on:** January 08, 2007, 03:05:15 AM »

Yeah, more peachy-pink-coloured.

I saw a couple of videos of this game...meh. Random dungeon design isn't my thing, as much as I like the characters, with my limited handheld gaming time my money could be better spent.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #20 on:** January 08, 2007, 04:19:08 AM »

I'd have said covered in whiteish goo.

I wonder what the gameplay is like, I can withstand faults in games as long as the humour (or interesting stuff) keeps coming but if it's 2+ hours of grinding between interesting events I'd probably get bored (okay, we're assuming the worst for the gameplay here...).

ryancoke · « **Reply #21 on:** February 22, 2007, 07:20:50 AM »

I just read on gonintendo that Izuna has started shipping to north america. anybody know the official release date?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #22 on:** February 22, 2007, 07:49:51 AM »

Play Asia lists it as 26.2..

MegaByte · « **Reply #23 on:** February 22, 2007, 11:35:03 AM »

UniversalJuan · « **Reply #24 on:** February 22, 2007, 03:08:49 PM »
