Limited Run Games Expresses Interest in Releasing a Physical Version of Caligula

Draikin June 17, 2016 Leave a reply

After Atlus announced a digital-only release for Caligula in the Americas and Europe at the end of E3 2016, Limited Run Games tweeted to Atlus that they should team up to release a physical version of the game. Atlus community manager John Hardin shared his thoughts on the matter on Twitter as well, saying that he doesn’t know whether or not a Limited Run Games partnership for a physical release of Caligula is feasible, but that (unlike with Yakuza 5) it may not be impossible. So it seems Limited Run Games may actually have a chance at making a deal with Atlus and FuRyu. Interestingly, John had actually anticipated that Limited Run Games would be contacting him regarding Caligula.

At the moment, Caligula is scheduled to be released in the Americas and Europe as a digital download title. The release date hasn’t been announced yet. Meanwhile, the game will be released in Japan on June 23.

At the end of E3 2016, Atlus U.S.A. still had surprise announcement in store. They’ll be publishing Caligula, an RPG for the PlayStation Vita which is being developed by Aquria, in both the Americas and the EU. Previously, Atlus had already worked together with FuRyu to release The Legend of Legacy in the Americas.

The Legend of Legacy EU Release Date: February 5, 2016

NISAmerica has recently announced a release date of February 5, 2016 for The Legend of Legacy, the 3DS turn-based RPG developed by FuRyu. Both physical and digital copies will be available for purchase. The game came out in North America a couple of weeks ago, if you weren’t aware (I have my copy, and started the game by choosing Bianca!)

NISAmerica also uploaded their own version of a character introduction trailer to their YouTube channel. This one features Bianca and Meurs. Functionally, it’s the same as what we’ve seen before, as it shows you clips of a character walking around, some battle scenes, and a couple of character-specific cutscenes. You can check it out after the break.

The Legend of Legacy Demo Available on North American eShop

InTheSky September 24, 2015 Leave a reply

Yesterday a demo for the Atlus-localized and FuRyu-developed The Legend of Legacy hit the Nintendo 3DS eShop for North American users. The demo is 2328 blocks, and isn’t advertised under the demo section – the best way to find the game is to search through the eShop catalog. Be sure to check it out! You can choose any character, and the demo allows you to check out the prologue and the first two dungeons of the game. Additionally, if you maintain a save file while playing through the demo, the progress that you do make (albeit with story and leveling caps attached to it) will be transferable to the full game.

Additionally, the last three remaining trailers for the game’s cast have also come out. Owen is the Mercenary, the expert combatant. Eloise is the Alchemist, a woman who is pursuing eternal youth. Then there’s Filmia, the Frog Prince, who seeks to claim a kingdom that is his. I’m not sure who exactly would be in his way, because he seems to be a pretty popular character online!

The Legend of Legacy releases in North America on October 13, with a Q1 2016 release window set for Europe.

Legend of Legacy Character Trailers – Garnet and Liber + Recent Twitch Stream Footage

InTheSky August 26, 2015 Leave a reply

AtlusUSA’s new character trailer for The Legend of Legacy shows off two very different personalities. Liber is the Treasure Hunter, a “spirited scavenger with a taste for adventure.” Without a care in the world save for himself, he ventures to Avalon for money. In his battle segments we see him lay waste to enemies with his bow and arrow techniques. As a party member, Liber lends himself to a supporting role. Garnet is the Templar, a “loyal knight of the Holy Order.” Unlike Liber, she is highly committed and not so carefree. Garnet travels to Avalon to weed out those spreading rumors of gods dwelling among the living…but one has to wonder about the details in such situations as these. Garnet’s battle footage show her ramming through enemies with a shield and attacking enemies with a two-handed sword, and as a party member she’s designed to be a balanced fighter.

Additionally, members of AtlusUSA’s PR team streamed themselves playing the game this Wednesday for about an hour and a half. The footage has been uploaded to YouTube. Check it out below if you missed it, or if you’d like a chance to really immerse yourself in the game! If you want a fresh experience, you might not want to watch for too long. Especially if you plan on trying out Garnet’s scenario, which was the one chosen for the stream.

Legend of Legacy: Bianca and Meurs English Character Trailer

InTheSky August 19, 2015 Leave a reply

AtlusUSA has begin rolling out English trailers for Legend of Legacy, the turn-based battle RPG set to release in October for North America and in 2016 for Europe. This trailer covers two of the seven main characters that can be chosen before the game begins.

By the way, the music that you hear playing throughout the trailer is one of the game’s battle themes.

Meurs is the Elementalist, a “Traveler with the Spirits as His Guide.” As an Elementalist, Meurs is ventures to Avalon to understand why the elements (fire, wind, water, and darkness) have begun to concentrate in Avalon. Bianca is the Girl With Amnesia, a “Gentle Soul in Search of Her Past.” Soft in demeanor yet strong in spirit, Bianca believes that Avalon holds the answers to her questions about her identity.

You will be given an “initial party” of two companions besides the character you select depending on the character you choose as your main character for the game. Your party can be further customized as you progress through Legend of Legacy. The main character chosen apparently also impacts certain focal points of the story; while all characters will experience events from the main campaign, each character will have certain story experiences of sorts that are specific to them.

The trailer demos the two characters exploring the overworld and some of their attack animations. Watch it after the break!

Legend of Legacy Releases on October 13th in North America With Launch Edition

Kuronoa August 14, 2015 Leave a reply

Atlus has announced that FuRyu’s 3DS RPG Legend of Legacy will be in stores and eShop on October 13th in North America. The first print of the retail edition is a “Launch Edition”, which contains a 40 page hardcover artbook featuring pictures and sketches from Tomomi Kobayashi (SaGa) and a 10 track soundtrack CD composed by Masashi Hamauzu (Final Fantasy XIII). Both bonuses are housed in a collector’s box.

Legend of Legacy’s story is told through the perspective of seven adventurers as they set out to explore the island of Avalon. The battle system features classless combat, where each party member can change to a specific role when needed as opposed to sticking to a single job.

NIS America is bringing the game to Europe in 2016. No word if this region will see a Launch Edition too. It will be available for a physical retail copy and digital copy.

UPDATE: Atlus posted a preview of the artbook, which you can see here.

Legend of Legacy Coming to Europe Early 2016

InTheSky July 29, 2015 Leave a reply

NISAmerica announced that they’ll be localizing FuRyu’s the Nintendo 3DS title Legend of Legacy for Europe. This is in keeping with their pattern of assisting with the distribution of such titles as Lost Dimension and the Etrian Odyssey games. They’re also maintaining their consistency in providing a physical and digital release.

You may remember our article on the announcement of Legend of Legacy’s North American localization. Everything between the North American and the European localization seems to be the same – down to the “balance adjustments” previously teased by Atlus. It’ll be interesting to see just what those balance adjustments will be.

The game is tentatively set to come out for Europe early in 2016. (While there seems to be some confusion based on stricter interpretations of NISAmerica’s press release, it’s been apparently confirmed that “winter 2016” means “early 2016.”) Keep in mind that Etrian Odyssey Untold 2: The Fafnir Knight is set for February 12 of next year. So perhaps Europe might get Legend of Legacy in March or April? March wouldn’t be too wild of a guess; Legend of Legacy and the Etrian Odyssey series, while both “niche” titles, do not play the same at all.

Meanwhile, Atlus is planning to release Legend of Legacy in North America later this year.

Lost Dimension Trailer: The End (The Character)

InTheSky July 15, 2015 Leave a reply

Here’s The Article containing The Trailer for The End, The Character, who apparently shows up at The Beginning (but also presumably shows up at other parts of the story including The End, and by The End I mean a particular point in the game’s plot progression and not the character himself.) To let you know that The End of humanity is coming.

He is a terrorist, self-styled agent of the apocalypse, and delights in the suffering and impending doom that he aims to bring upon humanity. The Pillar, his lair, is designed in such a way to psychologically torture the characters of the game, as the team must guess at the traitors amongst the ranks and eliminate one team member periodically through the journey to the top.
