Glad to see Flight-Plan is sticking with the PS2 -- not that I had much doubt they would. They were one of the last companies to keep releasing worthwhile PS games years after the PS2 had come out (think Black/Matrix 00).

So this will be a new SRPG, published again by Banpresto, with character designs by Tomatika, who also worked on Dragon Shadow Spell.




Too bad the "scans" suck, but we should be getting some previews soon.

Genre: Dark Fantasy Simulation RPG :)

I could tell it was 3D from the "scans", but now it turns out it's pretty fugly 3D :(

Dialogue is shown in nice 2D art, though, and cutscenes are CG.

Still, what a letdown.

Interview with Masami Watanabe, president of Flight-Plan, and as hardcore a gamer as they get.

With Summon Night we managed to create a world not seen before with a concept of cute characters and summons. As far as Poison Pink is concerned, the impetus was the idea to create a completely different, new fantasy world. This game's concept is to catch and collect demons in a dark fantasy world. The protagonists are three characters investigating a den of demons named Besek, which has suddenly appeared. The demons are awaiting the protagonists, who have embarked on their journey to rescue a princess who has been abducted to the demon lair. When defeating the demons, who attack one after the other, it is possible to capture and turn them into party members if special conditions are met. At a place known as Demon's Mansion, it is possible to dismantle demons and turn them into weapons. After freeing the people abucted by the demons, one can also enjoy a conversation with them at a safehouse. I think that adding system of catching and collecting [demons] to the fun of the simulation will definitely make players happy.

I hope it flops and they go back to sprites.

Recap made a comparison in his forum between Dragon Shadow Spell and this:





It's a tragedy.
