From Software released 40, really really small, images of their promising RPG [Em]Enchant Arm. It's up for an early january release in Japan, and somehow, I just really like how it looks and the colors in it.
I'm sure EM will make it stateside. Isn't it being developed by the guys behind Shadow Hearts? That series has always been picked up here.
Anyhow, I wish the screens were bigger. I'm not an RPG fan myself, but the game does look pretty. The blond kid looks like a character straight out of Virtua Fighter.
Something tells me this wont come to Europe... sadly.
And all though i want it,it doesnt looke like a must have title...but still i would have wanted it.
Looks cool as always, one of the early titles that I'm really looking forward to. I'm a big fan of turn based JRPGs. Looks like it has every element to make a great game, I just hope it gets released in the west.

from software is developing it, or am i wrong? the guys who made otogi should have worked on this game..... anyway, i like very much the overall quality of this game, i hope it will be released in europe too (or at least i hope in a region free usa release )
holy crap you sound like an idiot. you could easily be mistaken for an idiot
In regards to the images, I don't get why the japanese basically always release images to suit mobile phone browsers and PDAs primarily. I know the broadband situation in japan is a bit Tarzan, but surely the "HD era" should encourage bigger-than-stamp-sized media.

Either you are blinded by the 345x190 sized images, or you are a dumbass. Go watch one of the many trailers out there for this game, or go look at some bigger screens. I assure you, there is no way in hell even a top end PC could pull this game off.
I'm getting this game for sure. Its actually one of the better looking titles on the list (in my opinion anyway). I can't wait to see what kind of graphics we'll be seeing in a couple years if it's this good already.
I really NEED this to come over to the US. I have to have some turn-based JRPG greatness, though it seems im starting to be the only one that wants this...oh well...
character design is just weak in my opinion. overall looks cookie cutter jrpg. and why aren't they releasing higher resolution images? details they don't want seen??
Yeah, it's kinda strategy-rpg-ish. They showed some video of the battle system at TGS or X05. Most attacks and spells have an area affect, like a straight line, or a block, or whatever. So you can group your characters together to get them all with a heal spell, but then you expose them to an area effect attack.
I think that's all the grid is for. Allies and enemies are on 2 separate grids, so you don't need to (and can't) move up next to somebody for a melee attack or anything.
