Conception: Ore no Kodomo wo Undekure announced for PSP

[Hop2089]

Following some preliminary details that we reported on earlier, Sokuho@Hokanko has delivered a more complete summary of Famitsu's reveal article on Spike's new PSP RPG, Conception: Please Have My Baby.
Your goal in Conception is to put the charms on some pure, innocent girls, raise their affection for you, then make babies with them. You then take these babies out to dungeons for what appear to be turn-based battles.
You play as Itsuki, a high school student who, while prone to making cold statements, has a strong sense of justice. On the day of highschool graduation, Itsuki's first cousin and childhood friend Mahiru calls him and tells him that she thinks she's pregnant.
Just then, a gate opens up and leads the two into the world of Granvania. This world is in a dangerous state. In order for Itsuki to return to his world, he must save Granvania, something that can only be done by producing "Hoshi no Ko" (Star Children) with twelve girls.
The "star children" aren't made the way you and I would make a baby. Itsuki and one of the twelve heroines pour their spirit into some sort of device, and the baby is born after growing a bit.
The child's type is determined based off the parents. You can end up with a mage, a warrior, a monk, and so forth (yes, this is an RPG). Also, the child will end up with parameter boosts depending on the circumstances.
How all this will play out as an RPG isn't entirely clear. However, Sokuho's summary says that screenshots show Itsuki surrounded by star children. One shot shows six. It seems that you'll have to explore dungeons as the main character and his children, and also face off (against who is unclear) in battles that look like they may be turn-based.
There's also a school theme. The game is set in a school whose name translates to Granvania National Star God Academy. Each of the twelve girls has her own class.
Conception is currently 65% complete.

The stork theory got it's ass handed to him by the premise of this entire game. The fact it's an actually RPG is surprising I was expecting a mediocre adventure game and this is something I'll buy hopefully it will have a download version since by the time it's made I will have the Vita.

And sometimes I wonder why Japan still makes video games or why people still buy Japanese games.

To explore quirky concepts to certain aspects of life, in this case childbirth and rearing.

Well... at least they are thinking outside the box.

[shadowmanwkp]

I think my brain crapped out while reading halfway through that description. Only in Japan.

I don't know of one PSP game that has had a full translation. Though I may be wrong.

Screenshots, it's not too shabby looking, reminds me of something Atlus or NIS would make.

It does look Atlus/NIS-ish. The concept (no pun intended) seems quite absurd, but looking at the screen shot, it resembles a Persona game: school + VN + jrpg aspects. It actually looks good.


One thing's been bothering me though: It says that the type of the Star Children will be determined by the parents. There's only one guy and 12 heroines. Does that mean that there's only 12 Star Children, each with a certain class/parameter? I was just wondering if you could expand a little bit on those 12 (much like doing a Persona fusion). Or maybe you can make babies merge souls with the heroines as many times you want (), yielding a Child with the same type, but different parameters and such.

There are only 12 classes but most likely not 12 actual star children if you keep merging souls you can get a child of the same class with higher or lower stats so you can make as many kids you want.

Also this is confirmed to have a PSN release

If 'THIS' is the future of gaming then I won't even WANT to know their absurb and vague series will turn out. This game WON'T even make it into the US soil; two of the obvious reasons are religious related.

Off-topic: So this is what Japan believes, mirite?
