[DS] World Destruction - Pushing the generic jrpg genre to new levels of tedium

World Destruction

I will say one good thing, I love the track that plays on the official site. Mitsuda has done a good job with that track at least.

Ripped it from the site, get it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H0MYEC91

Also the anime version is airing in Japan and its being subbed by a few groups. From what I heard the anime has the same characters and general settings, but the story is different. Same thing with the manga adaptation. It makes me wonder who created the original concept and basic story...

I watched episode 1 on a lark. Morte is one tough chick so far, and Maaya Sakamoto does a good job on the voice. Not impressed with the main protaganist personality so far... I can say the game will likely have a good strong female lead instead of the generic soft white mage cliche.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Megaupload is not a membership site. Input the letters you see at the top and the click Download. Then wait 45 seconds. Its not that hard to use.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

13 episodes in total will air. So far 3 episodes have been subbed, though GoodBadsubs use mkv with ass. subtitle file.

Most of the voice cast is the same as the game except for two. Full cast list here:

World Destruction (video game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

As you can see, its practically a A list Seiyuu cast.

Anime Staff

Director: Shunsuke Tada
Series Editor/Script: Masahiro Yokotani
Character Design: Keita Matsumoto
Music: Yoshihiro Ike
Animation: Production IG
Production: Sega/Geneon Entertainment

Please note that the anime, game and manga will use the same concept and characters, but the stories will be different. If people want Kato's work, wait for the game etc.

And I like Megaupload only because files stay there for ages. I can download stuff even if that file was uploaded a year ago. Other than this convient fact, the site is obnoxious and the pop ups suck, but I won't have people constantly nagging for re uploads.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I dunno, some people are saying the animation takes a nosedive in episode 3, and the plot in episode 3 isn't too impressive either, at least from what I have read on a blog...

Not to mention theres no way they can cram a long complex story in 13 episodes anyway. I'll probably download it when the entire series is subbed just to see if its good... But I have a feeling the game will have a much longer development than the anime.

Not to mention the main character will be able to combat in the game, whereas in the anime it looks he's gonna be completly useless. Even Miyano's voice can only make him appealing so far...

Also Morte looks alot taller than Kyrie in the anime than in the game. And alot of ribbons on her boots and frills are missing in the anime version of Morte.



Personally, the anime outfit looks better than the above. Even the ribbon on her weapon is missing.

How ya doing, buddy?

Square Enix Music Online :: World Destruction Premium Soundtrack :: Album Information

A premium soundtrack will be available to people who pre ordered the game in Japan. The announcment also confirms that this is the game Mitsuda was recording with the Czech Philharmonic. If anyone can upload the soundtrack when the game is out on September 18, 2008, that would be nice.

No North America release announcement was made so far, so right now it's still a JP only release.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Siliconera » World Destruction (That DS RPG From The Xenogears Staff) Shattering North America In The Future

Quote:

At Tokyo Game Show I caught up Ryoei Mikage, the President of Imageepoch, and among discussing Arc Rise Fantasia, Seventh Dragon, and a bunch of other titles we touched on World Destruction. He told me Imageepoch is currently working on the US version of World Destruction which Sega USA will publish in the future. A complete US version is on the table which includes famed composer Yasunori Mitsuda rewriting songs and making them original for the US release. The difficulty of the game may also be altered since Imageepoch is taking feedback from players outside of Japan.

So, World Destruction is coming. We just need to wait for Sega to give us a firm date. However, the release may not be in the near future since as Mikage-san explains they are looking at a full localization.

Rebalancing diffuculty thanks to Japanese players feedback? Awesome. Glad to hear that not only are we getting the game, but we are also getting a improved version.

This also explains why there is no news on a full soundtrack release. Mitsuda is probably waiting till hes done with the US version, and then release a complete OST.

The premium bonus soundtrack will have to made do for now.
