Released today I believe, anyone planning on getting this remaster?
Not wasting any time are they?
Who does the art design again for this game? Getting a Record of Lodoss War vibe here.
This looks like more fun than Fire Emblem. Also this is only in japanese?
What I found to be the most impressive thing about these Langrisser games was the varying story routes that are available as you play. Depending upon player actions in battle, the outcome of fights (such as whether certain characters survive or not), and decisions made over the course of the story, you'll set Ledin, Elwin, and their comrades down certain narrative paths. There are a wealth of different branching points in both Langrisser titles, adding an extra layer of replayability to the mix. Even things such as confessing romantic feelings to a character in Langrisser II, for instance, will have plot and ending significance.
Given the various routes the stories can take, both Langrisser games come with a story map for players to peruse. The story map helps gamers see the direction their given playthrough is going, and even clearly labels the specific events or choices that helped make that route happen. Players also have the option to use the story map to once again play battles they have already fought with their carried over levels and abilities, offering the opportunity to forge a different outcome for that particular fight if they so choose. Upon completing a route in either game, players are given the option of creating a Clear Save File that allows them to restart that particular Langrisser title from the beginning with their levels, money, and skills intact, adding yet another replay option.
