This is one of Koei's strategy series (it's strategy, not "RPG") that I wanted to play on my Amiga back in the early-'90s, but couldn't find a translated version. Not sure if any of them were translated back then. Maybe fan translations exist today.

What's intriguing about this is that it's labeled an "MMO". I thought it would be a typo, just Japs not knowing what the term means, but looking in the Steam forum it seems the series has been MMO for a while. There's some grumbling about P2W also, and some more grumbling about imbalance or Koreans or whatnot. Check it out: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1574360/ ... 3088105990

For example you could buy port investments, higher level ship blueprints, officers etc with diamonds. But the p2w aspect didn't bother me, the main issues were the way too long turn based battles and the nation imbalance. Also they allowed cross-nation guilds which makes no sense at all in this setting. Official English forums have been dead for a few months now. BUT they released a ton of patches since i quit so there is hope. Will try it again when a european or US server opens in 2023.

I am definitely up for trying this with a team when it comes out.

Two more tidbits.

First, it's free, so it'll cost us nothing to give it a try.

Second, according to Gematsu, it "first launched in South Korea on August 23, 2022", so we're just waiting on the localization: https://www.gematsu.com/2023/01/unchart ... -available

Looks like a Sid Meier's Pirates JRPG MMO. Not a fan of the big heads, but everything else looks great. I wonder if you can build anything.

I am definitely in day 1. It should make for a fun weekend at the very least.

Also funny how the Mediterranean video calls the region "the center of culture" or something. Someone should cancel these people.

Moved this thread to the Cosmic War forum. The game seems to have rendered the entire Earth, it's strategic, it's massively-multiplayer... It's not PA2, but it looks like a good way to pass the time until then, so it belongs in the Cosmic War section of the site.
