http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/disastercake/soul-saga-a-j-rpg-inspired-by-playstation-classics So, someone decided to live out my dream and is making an RPG in the style of the classic PS1... uh, classics. Only with voice acting and stuff. Yeah. Anyway, he is currently running that kickstarter, and it has all the basic information there. It will currently be released on PC, Mac, Linux, Wii U, Vita and PS4. So yeah, if you are interested in having another classic JRPG, or supporting a maniac who gave it all for his dream (he says he even sold his car to pay for it!), then give it a look :kz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g11-GXceUzA

Saw this a few days ago and loved the look of it - hadn't backed it at the time as my wages hadn't come through. Thanks for the reminder! Off to give that man some money right now!

Oh hi guys, so he finally has the final models for some main characters. Mithos (Main Hero) http://www.disastercake.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/mithos3d_pose4.jpg Elise (Main Heroine) http://www.disastercake.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/soulsaga_elise_pose4.jpg Max (Robot Party Member) http://www.disastercake.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/MaxIdleMedium.jpg Ai (Mysterious Party Member) http://www.disastercake.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/ai_normal_idle-431x400.jpg Garen (Villain) http://www.disastercake.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/soulsaga_garen_1.jpg Ooh, and some nice tunes! Alchemist's Trials (Battle Theme) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGn9d09uSLw Home Above the Clouds (Town Theme) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXERGlTPabs The Bone Road (Goblin Village Theme) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbBf9naupnk He also has a forum now, though it is closed to new registrants who didn't buy the game yet. But I didn't buy it yet but I got in before he closed the gates, but you can still get in if you buy the PC version or beta (can't preorder console or vita versions because of Nintendo and Sony). anyway, looking awesome I think.

That looks cool. I hope they add some more sounds for physical attacks because even in the span of that video it was getting a little repetitive. The look reminds me of Rogue Galaxy a lot.

He's already confirmed that all of those sound affects were place holders and will change in the final version (Sound effects being very low on his priority list).

The only thing I dont like about the graphics is Mithos. I think the spikey-haired blonde male wielding a huge sword character has been greatly overplayed. Its almost a cloud ripoff with a bad color scheme. I can see if it was intentional for nostalgia purposes, but why not use the opportunity to create a more interesting lead character? I love the other designs and everything else. I also find the leveling system kinda weird. So when you level up you can put points in an attribute? They could probably take a page out of Dragon Quest and change that to some type of skill point allocation. Unless the characters learn abilities after attaining a certain stat, I dont think its really...interesting or inherently better than traditional leveling up. I am glad to see its shaping up well though.

I is still excite. I even got a character art for my birthday because I'm special. Anyway, someone made a guitar cover of the main battle theme already! Here is the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGn9d09uSLw and the guitar cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKIt2KXOy_c Also, I wants this game. Yesh.

I'm not a fan of this kind of RPG, but I've got to admit this looks really cool.

He's still working on this. There is a beta of the first level, though has has updated it since this livestream (obviously I am the RockSauron who's talking in the chat and who they refer to a lot) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxYN0DoYXVE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBNif0GNH6o Dunno if anyone will bother watching the 4 hour beta, but hey Otherwise, he is just doing cutscenes at the moment, which is apparently a very time consuming a boring job. He's still targeting an early 2016 release... which is good since that's when the money runs out. So yeah. ARR PEE GEE

It does seem like its coming along quite well. Other than Persona 5, I don't think there are any announced Turnbased games to look forward too.
