Mist of Chaos

[undeadeath]

I understand that this game wasn't particularly well received in Japan for it's extreme difficulty and complex storyline but I believe there's a market for that type of game in the US. People love their SRPGs here in the United States and when they provide a greater degree of challenge it motivates that hardcore audience to stand up and support games in that vein, like Fire Emblem where allies permanently expire. Not to mention, Idea Factory is a company that you work closely with and hopefully they would allow this game to be localized as it seems like the Agarest games are doing quite well. There's a severe drought of SRPGs on the next gen consoles and the only ones really filling the void is Disgaea, Agarest, Spectral Force 3, and... I think that's about it.

So, please consider this as a possible game to make it's way out of Japan and into our consoles.

From the video it looks like Risk in terms of gameplay...

Ive been aware of this game for sometime. I was also away for about a year that this wasnt even in consideration. I might of asked for it privately

I don't know anything about the chances of this being brought over, but man if the Japanese players balked at its difficulty, I can't imagine the US would be any more receptive. Japan is consistently more tolerant of insane difficulty than the US.

This...I mean, I can stand hard, even tediousness...as you can tell from me buying IF games constantly, but if it is disliked by the Japanese for complex gameplay AND storyline, I'd fear for it's success chance over here anyways...

*ears perks* Did someone say this was a freakishly hard srpg?

I'M SOLD DOOD!

I would love to try this especially since I heard its so difficult. I love games with insane difficulty such as Fire Emblem (though I hate it's permanent death system).

perma death is fun

[smile72]

It pisses me off, because it sometimes kills a character I like or is extremely useful then I have to restart the level.

Believe me, I have. And I would say Demon's Souls did well for more reasons than just because it's hard. There are a hundred different ways to make a game "hard" and Demon's Souls happened to do it in an interesting, satisfying way. Judging just by the reception mentioned in the thread, it sounds like this game didn't.

[Ringwraith]

Demon's Souls is difficult but fairly as I understand it. Which is why it did so well, it's just genuinely difficult rather than feeling cheap.

Eh, so it still has the ghosts of what IF did during the early PSP days, huh? Overcomplexity to the point that it's just too much?

...Eh, I still see Aksys maybe picking this up. Maybe.
