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

Been pretty dead in here, so let's try to revive it a bit with some of the bigger pieces of news to come out recently.













World Destruction, a traditional turn-based RPG published by Sega, developed by Image Epoch, and a project that reunites three key members from the Xenogears staff:

Masato Kato (scenario writer), Yasunori Matsuda (meh, composer), and Kunihiko Tanaka (character designer). A cool little side note is that the guy who did the character designs for Drakengard got a special nod for his help with costume design in this game.

The stereotypical title supposedly comes from the goal of the game-- the protagonists, Kyrie and... Morute, I guess, have joined an underground organization meant to free humanity from enslavement by destroying the world. Oh, Kato. How I've missed your completely bullshit plot twists.

It's due out in Japan sometime in the Summer, so maybe North America could get it by the end of this year. No announcement, so who knows!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nah even if it is :SEGA:, I think this should be a beauty.

Published by Sega. They have as much to do with this game as Ubisoft had to do with No More Heroes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The anime was announced alongside the game. It goes on the air around the same time the game's released. As for the price, it seems about right for Japan. Games are more expensive than their American counterparts.

In true "epic" RPG fashion, the first trailer was all fluff and no gameplay.

Most amazing jew boots

So apparently World Destruction is turning into a classic Disney Movie. Seriously, the crocodile belongs in Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
