BLACK SIGIL FOR THE DS -- IT'S LIKE FF6 AND CT HAD A BABY

Posts

Trailer hasn't peaked my interest at all. I can't honestly say why. Final Fantasy 6 is up there with my top favourite games of all time (I haven't played CT) but this isn't doing it for me.

I don't want to say it's bad after just viewing one trailer, but if I don't play this, I don't think I'm going to miss out.

If it's not right, don't do it.

So...I'm assuming Square Enix no longer owns the copyright to Chrono Trigger...?
I don't think you can copyright an art style.
Something about this game doesn't look good. It's like it seems TOO complicated, and the menu's are off the hook.

I am just happy to see developers still making 2D RPGs. I'd play it.

(Plus I want to rip some of the resources.)

If only it was just the art...from the trailer, the only thing this game didn't steal was CT's personality...
it's like they've put an rm game.. on the DS..

I will be completely ignoring this when this comes out (just like everything that isn't the latest in the football manager series)

The game feels so much like it is composed of a ton of heavily modified rips. Maybe it is, or it could just be the fact that many of the graphics do not feel like they match.

I'll give it a chance though.
It looks like they either had multiple environment designers, or the single one they do have is having issues making dungeon tiles. The towns look good, but the dungeons look abysmal. Ripping from this game would be the dumbest thing you could ever do, it doesn't look very pleasing visually.

They could have also increased the speed of the ATB. In the recent videos, it's slower than most RM games. If they were going to copy Chrono Trigger, they should have at least got this right.

And if it gets delayed one more time it won't ever come out.
I don't know, it seems more like a Secret of Mana knock-off to me. Though I can sorta see the CT influences too. I'll probably give it a go, though... If I can play (some truly dreadful ^.-) RM games, I should be able to play this.
MAYBE ONE FUCKING DAY THIS WILL ACTUALLY COME OUT ITS BEEN DELAYED LIKE 10 TIMES ALREADY FUCK.

I think it was actually delayed again recently.

It was supposed to come out late May now it's been moved to June
...and before that it was Early May...and before that, April...
welp I guess it shares a release date with rm games too
I remember Holyflame getting completely trashed at GW for ripping from this game some years back, heh. I think he even got tempbanned for it.

Well, the game does look fairly interesting. It could be a lot worse than it is. But I'll reserve my judgment till I actually play it.
Someone already ripped it? hahaha.

Are you sure he didn't actually rip from CT?
Nope. I remember quite clearly. It was this game. But that was back when it was called Project: Exile. People got on him for 'ripping the hard work of another indie developer' and he eventually got tempbanned after.
RM drama is the worst shit and it makes it embarrasing to be part of the community the best drama
