ShadowV7 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 This. Looks. Awesome. I like the style of it, and since it's an RPG with online co-op = Instant purchase. More and more RPGs are getting shown
D_prOdigy Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Hmmm. Wasn't the PSP game a bit meh? But with a bit of oomph in the technical department, maybe Marvelous can deliver a competent RPG.
ShadowV7 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 And since there's next to no RPGs out, being one of the first RPGs, it'll help it's sales a bit with little competition. Just hurry and release it else where T_T
pedrocasilva Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Indeed, on the day Square announces their online RPG to be a DS game running on the Wii, they get assraped with this... it's pretty sad that final fantasy will sell more in the end
Zero Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 This looks brilliant. I can't wait untill these RPGs actually get here.
Diageo Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 WOW, were getting a lot of RPG support now, I am very happy.
pedrocasilva Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Finally, and no thanks to Nomura-Enix too.
ghost_zero Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 It really looks great. I mean from what this is about and what I can see from the pictures. However, I hope the scans aren't to good because the pictures somehow seem to be like covered with "dust". Actually, I can't describe what I mean but I am pretty sure it is because of the scan quality.
darksnowman Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 A timely bump for this thread as I'd read some Valhalla info t'other day: In this week's issue of Famitsu magazine, Marvelous Entertainment unveiled a few more details on Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga, the first Wii game in an action RPG series that's been PSP-exclusive up to now. The title will go on sale this summer in Japan, although no formal US release announcement has been made. As before, Eldar Saga is set in a world populated by a variety races, from human to dwarf and halfling. The hero (which is one of those strong, extremely silent JRPG types that you get to name) begins the game stumbling into the Lost Woods nearby the elves' homeland, where he's saved from doom by a fetching elf named Orphelia. From there, he embarks on all manner of adventures, with quests unfolding pretty much as they did in the PSP games. Wi-Fi support is in the works, allowing two players to co-op their way through the missions (including some online-only ones). http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3173752
Ganepark32 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Oh, online co-op? This has just moved up my list of wants. I personally don't think it looks overly good but the online co-op is a nice feature.

I personally don't think it looks overly good but the online co-op is a nice feature. Yeah, I'm not sure about how the graphical aspects of it (have you seen how it looks on the PSP? ) but if it turns out well enough, a good co-op action RPG could be pretty tasty.
nekunando Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 I saw the top picture in the second page of those scans the other day and thought it looked interesting.. then I went to investigate the PSP versions and the game looked horrendous in the videos, enough to make me extremely cautious about this game! However, I still look forward to discovering more..
