(Yokomichi) Second: Concerning the Party's Composition

Everyone, good morning. There are only a few days remain until the New Year, aren't there? I am Yokomichi.

(Something about seeming helpful and party composition)
(Something about Komori and the person in charge)
(Something about the last fighting scene),
(Something about the final stages of the ROM)

Prince, Princess
Charisma. Everyone in the party is happy that the fighting prince and princess are happy (unsure). I place them in the front guard or I place them in the rear guard.

Warrior
Strong arms! They are very strong. Front guard! I think they are heartily eating the meat attached to the bones (unsure because this seems weird).

Phalanx
Iron wall. Boss battles felt like divinely (pierce?; It mentions boss battles and gods). They go mainly in the front guard, but sometimes in the rear guard.

Pirates
Able to easily handle either the front guard or the rear guard, I usually place them on the left side of the front guard. It is quite an unrequited love, but I love them. I am raising them by believing they will surely soon bloom (unsure of the "raising by believing" part).

Shinobi:
They are filled by romance! (roman = romance?) I place them in the front guard or I place them in the rear guard.

Monk:
I consider them the prodigy type by an existence able to be reliable. My monk is participating actively with recovering and attacking from the front guard.

Ballista
An obedient good girl (or child). Their strategies are recommended to men and women of all ages for their easiness (or inexpensiveness?). They are placed mainly in the rear guard and sometimes in the front guard.

Beast King
Their other name is F.O.E Master. This job's configuration (gives the impression of a young child?). That has very worried Komori and Hinata(?), (something about being emotional by seeing illustrations?). I have them put in the rear guard. The feeling of handling beasts is enjoyable.

Zodiac
Thinking about the origin of the techniques named the star techniques is fun. I am placing them in the rear guard. Mr. Hinata(?) used indian astrology as design image references, many explanations were given, I wonder if arabian astrology? (I don't know how this sentence is supposed to be...)

Farmer
If battles are hard, proceed to discussion(?) and remove the farmer (unsure). However, I like not being able to imagine a life without farmers (or "I can not imagine to like a life without farmers?"). They are the dungeon's exploration's reliable companion and they can be sufficiently helpful in battles!

(Something about "I also await anxiously", jobs' detailed introductions, middle of next year's January, and other stuff)

(Something about calculating the combinations of parties and results in 3002?)

Finally, I introduce the sea capital Armolode's adventurers' guild's rough color.

(Image with vegetation)

This is the scenery of the current adventurers' guild, giving the feeling of openness by an image of an establishment of a courtyard (unsure of sentence structure). (Something about many adventurers gathering, being put on the bench, and awaiting orders?)

(La la la, describing Armolode)

Well then, here is my information of the end of the year (unsure). (Something like "Please have a happy New Year.")

(The usual message to mobile viewers to view the blog from a PC to see the images)

The sea of trees: It awaits adventurers; it is the test of the sea of trees.

Powerful opponents will prevent your progress.

It is essential to be particularly careful around dangerous F.O.E.

In the dungeon, there are many powerful enemies who are waiting for you all. Among them, the particularly dangerous ones are monsters called "F.O.E". Their destructive powers, able to completely destroy adventures in an instant, draw the line between other monsters. If you decide to challenge these formidable opponents with just your power, it would seem to be good to face them in battle from the front (unsure). However, if you calmly judge yours and your allies' abilites and if there is a even a small quantity of anxiety, one wise decision would be to avoid that encounter.

Warrior
This is a job specialized in defeating the enemies with their well trained bodies. Disliking protection, they fight by using huge swords and blunt weapons.

Zodiac
By collecting the element of "Ether" that exists in the sky from the stars to use as a catalyst, they are astrologists that fight by invoking the star techniques.

Ballista
They are projectile experts possessing the nickname of archer. By defeating enemies by carrying huge bows and guns, this is a job that specializes in the offensive. (Yes, literally, it says they defeat enemies by just carrying bows and guns... "By defeating enemies with their huge bows"?)

Beast King
They are the king of the beasts, communicating with every beasts and intentions. By freely manipulating at will beasts, from the birds flying in the sky to the moles of the underground, and even the king of the beasts, they possess the ability to make them participate in battle.

Farmer
They are farmers that particularly look into the sea of trees to dream of quickly gaining a fortune. While they possess abilities that are extremely helpful for the exploration of the sea of trees, their battle capabilities are weak on the surface.

Year 2009, Month 12, Day 31 (Thursday)
(Komori D) Seventh: It is New Year's Eve.

Everyone, good morning! I am Sekaiju no Meikyuu's director, Komori.

Today is New Year's Eve and we are finally at the end of the year 2009. Everyone is busy with the preparations for New Year's Eve, but I wonder why some still come to read such a rundown blog...

For those who dared to come, this is this year's last update. I have UPped {uploaded?} a tune of Sekaiju no Meikyuu 3.

This tune is Komori's favorite and it is used somewhere in the dungeon.

{Play button}

Well then, while you listen to this tune, this is this year's farewell. Everyone, have a Happy New Year...

(Yokomichi) Third: Happy New Year

Everyone, good morning. I am Yokomitsu. It's the blog's beginning of the year, so I wonder if it's alright for me to write?

Anyway, please kindly treat me well this year too. I hope this year will become a good year for everyone!

Sometime in March {?}, "Sekaiju no Meikyuu 3 Seikei no Raihousha" will finally be on sale! I think it is enjoyable for Sekaiju no Meikyuu to slowly advance at its own pace {unsure}, {something about certainly, this year, easily, Sekaiju 3, play, want to receive?}.

My first task of the year is the first special soundtrack booklet design. Because it will become a wonderful resource this time too {unsure}, look forward to it!

Well then, I'll abruptly interrupt this blog {unsure}. Now, I would like to write about Sekaiju's design {unsure}.

Then, from here on {unsure}, it'll be about the production of the first Sekaiju's design.

For the first Sekaiju's production, the designers at the time it started were, in addition to myself, one person for the interface and one person for the effects {unsure}. Three people with abundant experiences were gathered for each part.

The creation of a new title's visual images was very enjoyable. "Sekaiju" was understood just by looking at the screen. Finally, the conclusion was reached {unsure}.

Primarily, we discussed about the parts we were in charged of's designs to see our ideas brought together and also for new ideas to surface through 3 people noisily talking together about designs {unsure of the wording, but the meaning is mostly there}.

The first Sekaiju

{Image of the first's B2F}

Sekaiju 2

{image of the second's 10F}

This is Sekaiju 3.

{image of the 3rd's B1F}

{Something about the style of the interface and vivid scenery being the color of the sea to reflect its setting}

The game's feel is the same and yet, {something about changing colors to maintain the feeling of freshness}.

Eventually, the first Sekaiju's design was completed with the addition of one person helping with the interface, one person for the production of Dot art, and one person helping with the Dot art.

Because there was only me as design staff in the beginning because everyone left, new staff was designated. {unsure}.

The first three people, even now, sometimes gather together for tea on holidays. Because of Sekaiju 3 being finally announced, I think listening to the various opinions from the 2 people is useful. It is also because I want gather together to chat. Oh, I'll stop talking about my personal matters {unsure}.

{Something about writing more about reminiscence next time?}

Well then, here is the introduction of a tune and wallpapers as a conclusion.

{Tune and wallpapers}

Please enjoy next time's information too!

Step in the mysterious ruins at the bottom of the ocean.

Beyond the other side of the sea lies Armolode (Aamoloodo), a continent far to the south. There, legends of mysterious ruins at the bottom of the ocean plausibly exist. A great nation that prospered with ancient technology suddenly sank into the ocean 100 years ago. Many adventurers whose hearts have been shook by this legend went to visit the sea capital one by one to go challenge the labyrinth at the bottom of the ocean. However, until now, no one who has stepped on the deep bottom of the sea has appeared.

Now, go discover the mysterious ruin in the labyrinth to obtain wealth and fortune. Ride a ship to Armolode and advance.

Princess (Prince):
They are the descendants of large and small nations. Their orders, thanks to their royal blood, are able to give an advantage in battle by raising the morale of their whole party.

Shinobi:
This is a job that helps in the exploration of the labyrinth with skills named "ninja arts". This expert class can do the work of many people by themselves.

Pirate:
They are the descendants of the pirates living on the seas. Having mastered guns and swords, their role is to excel at working together in great numbers to defeat the enemies instead of going 1 on 1.

Phalanx:
With metallic armor covering their whole body, they are proud of their overwhelming defensive power. Also adept at attacking with a spear, this is a job that excels at offense and defense.

Monk:
Using a power called "Chi", this is a job that possesses the power to influence the body. Not only can they heal wounds, they also excel at unarmed combat.

Draw the map with your own hands. The labyrinth challenges you.

Mapping with the stylus (touch pen) will become a habit.

The Etrian (Sekaiju) series' peculiarity is the mapping system with a stylus. The 3D dungeon exploration is displayed on the Nintendo DS's top screen so that one can draw the paths on the bottom screen. Steadily make a map by placing walls, doors, paths, and the like and travel in the dungeon by relying on that map. The feeling of achievement when completing the map of a complex labyrinth with one's own hands is irreplaceable.

(Yokomichi) First: The sea capital Armolodo is completed.

Good day, everyone. This is the chief designer, Yokomichi. I am who did the first, the second, and the third Sekaiju no Meikyuu's design supervision, art design, and background work (unsure about "background work").

For the 3rd Sekaiju too, I have always been pleasantly in charge of the work (unsure of sentence). With the first district of Armorodo's visual design as an example, I introduce you to the picture of a background.

For keywords, it is a medieval town on an island in the southern seas.

There is a big tree.

Accurate settings permitted the creation of these visuals in the consultation process (unsure). (I don't understand the next sentence, but it mentions matching the finished picture.) After considering the topography of the island, (something about streets/city developing, appearances, building arrangements, southern countries, revealing sun light, and a color rough.)

Based on the color rough, an art creation company (literal meaning) completes the line art and the colored picture.

(something). It is completed.

This city has used several pictures of reference, with one of which is Dubrovnik in Croatia. (stuff)

(stuff about blogging)

I am looking forward to the next time!

(Something about viewing the blog on a PC to see the pictures if the viewers are using a mobile)

(Kakiuchi) First: About the Battle Tempo

(?) everyone, it is nice to meet you. I am Kakiuchi, the one in charge of Sekaiju no Meikyuu 3's battle design. I was also in charge of a little bit before P3's and P4's battle design (Persona). I had the privelege of being in charge of the effects and boss battles. I've also been asked to help just a bit with the effects in the early stages of Sekaiju no Meikyuu 2.

By the way, the first time I have worked on a 3D dungeon game is D_gon Ball Daimaou Fukkatsu (D_gon Ball, The Great Demon King Revived). (Something about a 3D dungeon not having random encounters?) (Stuff about mapping, 3d dungeon games, and other things; maybe still talking about D_gon Ball?) I wanted to talk a bit about Sekaiju 3's battles. (Something about an OK and telling information?)

(Stuff about wanting to speed battles up by allowing options to be set)

By the way, I play on the 4th stage, the fastest "NO WAIT".

(Some message telling viewers on mobiles to view the site through a PC to see images)

Warrior:
With their honed body and their usage of the likes of large swords and blunt weapons, they are battle experts. By disliking defense, their style specializes in offense.

Zodiac:
They are astrologists. By collecting the element "ether" that exists in the skies from the power of the stars, they use it as a catalyst to invoke their "star techniques".

Farmer:
They are farmers whose goal is to quickly get rich from the hidden treasures in the sea of trees. They possess an abundance of skills helpful in the exploration of the ｌabyrinth but are weak in battles!?

Ballista:
Bearing the nickname of "archer" (or Sagittarius?), they are the experts of projectiles. Having mastered bows and cannons that are the size of their body, this is an offense-type job.

Beast king:
The beast king holds authority over every beast and their purposes. (unsure) They possess the power make demons participate in battles as allies.

(YOSHI) First: About the Hand-Drawn Maps

Everyone, it is nice to meet you.

I am Sekaiju no Meikyuu 3's chief programmer, Komori Yoshihiro. Because having the same surname as the director Komori is confusing, call me "Yoshi", "Yoshi-san", "Yoshi-kun", or the likes. I was assigned to Sekaiji no Meikyuu 2's development tool's support and, shortly ago, Devil Survivor's programming.

Now, the main parts I am in charge of are the dungeons, the events, the sea nagivation, the dungeons' maps, and the sea maps. (Something about overseas and English and something about writing lines of English lyrics?) (Something about Sekaiju no Meikyuu 2 and Devil Survivor's creation?)

(Stuff about the Sekaiju no Meiyuu series, high speed, graphics' and sounds' data of memory increase, 12x12 font size's addition too, (stuff))

(Something about more opportunities with hand-drawn maps?) (Something about the previous games' very basic-like functions) The elements are the five functions of "wall drawing", "wall deleting", "floor painting", "floor deleting", and "placing icons". First, the "wall drawing" feature is basically based on the previous games, (stuff about collision detection and about approximately 2 dots) .

The "wall deleting" feature is the one to most fuss over about. Because I think it is sometimes difficult to erase the walls that are drawn, I made various revisions.

As a test case, every vertical line covers the screen.

There, to erase by applying the eraser from the left side to the right side of the screen,

(Komori D) Sixth: Christmas Present

Everyone, good morning! I am Sekaiju no Meikyuu 3's director, Komori.

Today is Christmas, isn't it? For people reading this blog on such a day, I have prepared music as a present.

Speaking of Sekaiju's music, (stuff about Mr. Kodai; perhaps thanking him?)

Among those, I want to send everyone the tune they would hear the most during the game.

(link to sounds)

...Ah, yes, in addition to this, I have also UPped wallpapers today. (UP = upload?)
