Square Enix's New Mystery Game - Guess the theme song

Blackjack

Mystic Quest is a great game. Don't let the haters try to tell you otherwise.

Well, there's now a video up on the main site. Just go to 'system'.

Might I add that the game looks utterly gorgeous in motion.

Meh, I don't know. The ability system sounds more like a case of Square making things unnecessarily complicated to me.

But then again, some people really like tweaking around with the system and they might not like a more straightforward (FFT, FF5) system nearly as well, so I guess I'm just not really the game's target market.

I must say, however, that the animation and graphics as smooth as hell. I still wish they'd went with a less cartoony art style (and more with a direct translation of the concept art, which would have been really beautiful) but I can't argue that the finished product isn't fluid and fun to watch.

The Ability system doesn't sound too bad.

I still remember the wonders of FF2's masochistic demi-gods.

It doesn't sound too complex to me.

Holy cow, the game looks really pretty in motion. I was kind of ambivalent to the screens, but loooooook:

The Art for this game is simply stunning.





the Character design. Can definately see it's yoshida's style.

Now that the Countdown is over, combined with the fact that the OP never edited the title and hasn't logged in in weeks, think we should create a new "Official" thread for this? I'm up for making it if you guys think we should.

Go ahead. OP hasn't been around for over a couple weeks. An 'official' news thread would work compiling what we know already would be good.
