Freaking amazing.

This is some pretty exciting news. If they're able to make the Wiimote work well with this game and expand the depth of combat some more, it should be pretty awesome. I'm hoping that slow downs won't be an issue this time around, if they can fix that, make the game work and deepen combat, easily bought.

I wonder as to how the story will be presented this time around. I quite enjoyed how Odin Sphere was done as chapters of a book or more specifically a fairy tale.

Oh and Sporky you'd want to rehost those scans. I'm getting a woman in a white dress for the first and I assume the cast of The Jury in the second.

All my dicks, etc.

Now if they jsut let us save frequently to play in short bursts the universe will be at peace. Because having to play huge sessions of Odin Sphere, considering its repetitive nature made me not play the game anymore even though it's soooo pretty.
Awesome news though.

:oops:

Dammit! Imagevenue sucks so hard. I assume it puts in random images whenever a pic uses too much bandwidth.

EDIT: Fixed.

2D sidescrolling ARPG ala Odin Sphere with Wiimote sword controls? Words escape me. Even the 'all my dicks' meme seems insufficient.

I'm currently playing OS. While it looks nice, it's really quite boring. I hope this doesn't suffer the same fate.

Also, I hope it doesn't have a framerate of like 10 FPS.

Well, the description seems to indicate that there'll be some kind of quick play in it, offsetting the normal Odin Sphere grinding. Please let it be multiplayer...

Oh shit, it's on like Donkey Kong!

Hey great, another game that I won't have time to play and probably shouldn't spend my money on anyways.


Why can't developers wait until I am free(summer kind of) to release their awesome games? It's going to take me another month or so just to finish the Pirate homeworld and Valhalla because I've got such a full schedule...

Oh wow, looks really good. So glad to see it's not on the PS3. This might give me the desire to finish Odin Sphere up sometime soon.

Looks good, but I'll keep my eye on it. I bought Odin Sphere the first day, and played it only then. Collecting dust, etc.

I'm not worried. Atlus is pretty awesome.

I'm sure with their current relationship with the Wii and how good Odin Sphere did (word-of-mouth-wise atleast) that there is a pretty high chance this will get localized.

Also this does infact look amazing. I hope we get something as cool as Alchemy and the whole seed system was in Odin Sphere.
