Square bought Taito even before they merged with Enix.

Square Enix: nomming companies at a rate equal to EA.

It IS interesting to see them rolling one of Taito's old games over to the Squeenix brand. Given the effort they've expended to keep it looking like Taito's a separate company...

It makes SENSE to roll Lufia over to Squeenix proper, though.

Taito or Square-Enix, I don't mind - however, that, I am glad to read:

The series has potential, but the fact it's not an Estpolis -Denki- might mean they'll just make a completely new game with little reference to the old continuity kinda like the GBA one.
Oh well, it may still be a good game regardless.

I'm hoping it'll be as good as Lufia II.

Wait, Maxim ? What the hell will the game be about ? Them mad gods only showed up once (well, not exactly, but you know what i mean) while he was alive.

*sigh*
wonder just how much they're gonna rape the continuity, maybe they'll reach so bad it's good levels.


Today in Harvest Moon Parcelyte, Maxim cultivates some fine potatos while Guy runs around like a moron. Naked !

And it all takes place in Neo-Tokyo or something, judging by his new outfit.

Looks like they are discarding the turn based battling with something more real-time. Looks good, though.

I am really hating the new character designs.

Edit: ESPECIALLY Tia. What the fuck did they do to her!?

Hey, at least Gades still looks badass! :D

I agree, though — Tia looks awful, and Maxim looks like Yet Another Final Fantasy Hero. :|

I'm just hoping for their sake that they didn't change Dekar too much — else they might have an army of Lufia II fangirls to worry about…

Edit: O-M-F-GPLEASE tell me this is NOT Guy! D:

Uh, I'm not sure if Guy really is a guy anymore....Isn't Square Enix supposed to make sure that the people who create game characters don't screw up? And here I was thinking about how scary THIS guy is!

holy fuck guy got the moron face treatment something fierce


what's up with physical appearance having to match personalities to the 104% T ?
i mean, it makes things easier to grasp visually, but are young RPG gamers that stupid they need clues this obnoxious ?


wait, don't answer that
