Gaming Thoughts on Blood of Bahamut

[Prosoccer]

I was just looking at some of the new screenshots that came out today, and they look incredible. The game does not have a release date, but IGN says it is 1-4 players. After watching some of the videos on youtube, it appears that it has a real time battle system. It looks like a combination of Final Fantasy and Shadow of the Colosus. If anyone has anymore information or is just psyched about this game like I am, then post some screens or new info.

2 Nice screens

Generic male swordfighter.
Generic female mage.
What-the-fuck-is-that-thing by the name of KAMOS OGREKIN.
Elderly dogman called SANTIAGO.

Awesome names like that tend to make up for a lot.
So does wifi co-op.
Really curious what happens between the whole giant-enemy-weakpoint-bashing parts, I mean, it can't ALL be bossrushan. Can it?

It looks mighty ambitious.

For some reason I'm not buying into it though. I have been wrong before, however.

Well well,i love how this looks really going to wait on this one(not that i have much of a choice) seems like a boss i would see in ffX Anyways -imagines online random buddy wifi story mode/mission mode with other players-

Any idea when this game will be released? or even mentioned in JP

 

[akuchan]

It's square enix right? I want =)

 

[Zerrix]

Ah yes I saw a homepage of this sometime, I wonder if it will be good^^

 

[Noraxu67]

Yes it is by Square-Enix™ And was though to be some kind of sequel or has a connection with the SNES console's "Bahamut Lagoon" game, but kinda of farout from it.... Anyway I'm really hoping for the release of this game!

 

[Sp33der]

Can't wait for this game, wondering if ti will get a release outside Japan

My sentiments exactly.

Sure, anyone could flub up a game, but SE is a like an amazing lover, and I won't question her desire to try something different. I'll just close my eyes and let her do her thing. (Did I say that aloud?

)

But if folks are expecting Shadow of the Colossus, then yeah, I think there's going to be some confusion, if not disappointment. There is the obvious visual and thematic comparison, but I believe you're just going to remain on the platform fighting the entire time. There's been no mention of a grab mechanic like the one in SotC.

That said, I'm sure there will be more than just one boss fight after the next. Square Enix loves to give their fans a good story, so I'm confident there will be plenty of substance to the game's presentation.

P.S. -- Love the trademark symbol there, Noraxu67.

Santiago is so generic in my country almost like Jhon o Peter T_T, i suppose japanesse player find it cool.

n_n Anyway look awsome, another game to make us impatient.

 

[Friendo]

This looks awesome!

 

[litium]

Awesome, it lookslike Shadow of the Colossus for PS2 but for DS. I can't wait to try this out.

 

[War]

Looks really good (like every Square Enix game). It seems a little bit like Shadow of the Colossus... which is a good thing. Can't wait to try it out.

 

[Goshogun1]

Looks freaking awesome. SOTC is one of my top 10 games of all time. I always appreciate it when Squeenix tries to make a new series, as opposed to constant remakes and spinoffs (which I do like BTW). Looks damn good.

 

[Firedrake1]

This looks like a lot of fun! However, I'm betting it will have the piracy protection and to be honest. I still can't get ChronoTrigger to work so I'm kinda sad.

 

[Noraxu67]

Thanks I always pay Square-Enix some respect to their name, anyway instead of being a sequel to Bahamut Lagoon, how bout thinking that this is somehow connected with Shadow of Colossus?

 

[Zane]

You forgot the trademark symbol! =O

 

[Noraxu67]

Eheheh... Forget about it

Anyway here:
Nintendo releases '09 first half lineup

 

[fateastray]

I hope it's not too much like SOTC, couldn't even get past the first 3 minutes of the game!! (Are you supposed to ride the horse up those circular stairs or what? I can't do it!!)

 

[Exbaddude]

Looks Great! It may be blocky though :s.
