Odin Sphere - Hot sex from Atlus

Once upon a time there was this really awesome game called Princess Crown released by Atlus on the Sega Saturn and PSP. This game never saw the light of day here in the states. Vanillaware and Atlus are teaming up again to make a new game on the PS2. Get ready for some super high quality 2D graphics:















You'd think a cool 2D game like this would never come to America, right? The whole game is 2D and SCEA likes to turn down 2D games. Well, it is. Atlus was very quick to announce a US release for the fans. And it's coming before Persona 3.

Odin Sphere Announced ATLUS U.S.A., INC. SIGNS
ODIN SPHERE
The Prophecy Must Die

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — FEBRUARY 9, 2007 — Atlus U.S.A., Inc., a leading publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced the acquisition of the North American publishing rights to Odin Sphere, an Action RPG designed exclusively for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and slated to be in retail stores in late spring of 2007.

Odin Sphere is developed by Vanillaware, makers of the amazing Princess Crown for the Sega Saturn, and features beautiful hand-drawn artwork put into motion to tell an epic tale of power, loss, and love. The game is rated “T” by the ESRB for Mild Language, Fantasy Violence, Suggestive Themes, and Use of Alcohol.

About Odin Sphere:
The nations of Erion had always held an uneasy peace, as the various kings and queens watched each other for any signs of weakness. When the country of Valentine is obliterated by the power of an ancient artifact, it sparks a bloody war between the fairies of Ringford and the warriors of Ragnanival. Little do they know that they are acting out an almost-forgotten prophecy: one that, if fulfilled, will lead to the destruction of the entire world. Take control of the warrior princess Gwendolyn, daughter of Odin, and follow the threads of an intricately woven story as you uncover the truth behind the prophecy – and how to bring it to an end.

Odin Sphere Key Features:
• Gorgeous hand-drawn artwork and animations!
• Intense side-scrolling action with astonishing attacks and magic effects!
• Fully-voiced dialogue that heightens the drama!
• Fantastic bosses that tower over the protagonists!
• Five playable characters in all; each one’s fate is intertwined with the others’!
• A robust cooking and alchemy system that can be used to create powerful attack and recovery items!

YOU JUST MADE ME SHIT MY PANTS.

COME HERE, GIVE ME YOUR WALLET. YOU OWE ME FOR MY DRY CLEANING BILL.

Seriously, though. I was about to yell at you for posting a thread about a cool game that would never ever ever come here, but then you turn around and show a US release date.

I was so hyped when I saw this game was coming over. I've been eye-balling it for a while.

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

I want to see this moving. Those characters look so nice, I'm terrified the game uses some bizarro animation technique that'll make them move like badly done flash animation D:

Holy shit, talk about a bait-and-switch. The animation looks absolutely godly, or at least not-bad. Hopefully the music/voices are decent, because so far it looks nice.

Where did that SCEA 2D game myth come from in the first place? They're unlikely to publish niche titles, many of which are 2D. It has more to do with what people buy over here, than anything else.

Googled Odin Sphere and found a thread on GAF with some scans.

Personally, I'd like a concrete date rather what we've got now, since then we know they're aiming for a specific point rather than teetering on releasing it or not.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Cornelius? Yeah, but according to the 1UP article on this game, he's not even a "furry" but some transformed guy. About that article, it definitely went into more detail about various aspects of the game. The story flow apparently tracks each of the characters in chapters, though there are definitely parts that link each of them together.

Oh and item use apparently can turn the tide of battle easily, though leveling also works.

Furry, loli, oldman Odin, this game has something for everybody. =/

Ah, I completely forgot to link to the 1UP article and the special mention of the sprites in this game. Needless to say, I was surprised that they're as big as they say.

Look at Odin or what looks like the fairy queen, as examples of NPC enormity or that big monster in the teaser/trailer.

I don't know what this game really is, but I want to rape myself now. Who the hell told me about Princess Crown before, oh yes, it was SOLDIER, and I was like what?, and now I see what all the fuss is all about. Those are some sexy graphics.

Whoa, dude, those graphics are some of the best (2D) I've seen. I will be perplexed if this game comes to PAL regions. Perplexed, I tell you. With graphics like that and a score by Hitoshi Sakimoto, it's hard not to assume greatness from Odin Sphere.

The artistic style of the backgrounds reminds me very strongly of Worms Armageddon. Very pretty. And with Hitoshi Sakimoto to boot. I will have to get this.

I still refuse to believe those are actual sprites. The little movement you see in the trailer was with one of those animals and that was made of polygons. I keep thinking they're 3D models made to look like 2D, or perhaps flat polygons like Parappa and ilk.

Still, Sakimoto on music will at least force me to get the music.

I saw this game on a list of upcoming titles from atlus around E3 last year. The only description I got about it was a 2D action RPG which sounded good at the time. Now, after seeing those screen shots and getting some more information about it, I can say that looks to be a new source of crack for me.

Miles just wants it because one of the characters is a furry.

Also, this game needs more proper art. I can't find any absolutely anywhere, and trust me, I have fucking sources up the wazoo in the art department of games. I guess it's way too early for that.

Also none of these look like sprites and I'm constantly reminded of Dawn of Mana for some reason. Probably the green atmosphere.

This game looks amazing. Those big monsters at the end of the Youtube video, the way they moved wow. I can't wait to play this! This is the kind of 2D game I've been dying for. I know of Princess Crown and wanted to play it but never had the chance to get it at a reasonable price.
