Limited Run Games has announced a physical release of the Cosmic Fantasy Collection. These fantastic RPGs were released on the PC Engine CD way back back in 1990. We only received Cosmic Fantasy 2 here in the West back in 1992 and it was one of my favorite games as kid, yes I’m that old, so this will be the first time the original Cosmic Fantasy has released here in the West. These games will be getting an all new localization from publisher Edia, who you may know from their recent releases of the Valis Collections.

A standard edition of the game will set you back $44.99 while a collectors edition with some posters and other swag will cost you a bit more at $89.99. Pre-Orders will start tomorrow and run through February 11th.  Their website says the expected ship date is August of this year and, I would bet the digital release will hit the eShop sometime before this, but there is no official word on the release date as of writing this article.

About the Game
About a year has passed since Akari Amasawa started her new job as a designer at Estario, a mobile app maker. While she doesn’t dislike her job, she’s not deeply passionate about it either. After her yearly performance review, she’s given the opportunity to join the Estarci team.

The company’s namesake app, Estarci is a news app that made a big splash when it launched, but has since fallen behind rival apps, including apps run by Estario itself. Management has decided to give the app one last chance before shutting it down for good, and Akari and all of her new co-workers will need to give it their all to save the app from the chopping block.

Will Akari find true love? Will she find what it is she wants to do in life? Will the app get shut down? Wait, was Akari only given this opportunity because the company was looking for an excuse to fire her?!

Other than 2B, 3 other DLC characters were also announced, the first of which is Lucilius. Lucilius is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai in Japanese and Sean Chiplock in English.

You can check out his gameplay trailer below. Lucilius will cost $4.99 when released and is scheduled to be available on January 16, 2024.

 

Lucilius is described as follows:

Lucilius boasts overwhelming offensive capabilities in exchange for longer cooldown times. Reduce cooldown by raising his Blade Level with skills, then bear down on your foes with all the fury of a fallen angel.

The last 2 characters announced were Vane and Beatrix. Vane is voiced by Takuya Eguchi in Japanese and Zeno Robinson in English. Beatrix is voiced by Aya Hirano in Japanese and Jennifer Losi in English. There is no gameplay trailer for these two characters, but they are scheduled to release sometime in 2024.

The post Unicorn Overlord – New Details About Activities and Allies appeared first on oprainfall.

]]>

Today Atlus has released more information about their upcoming release of Unicorn Overlord. This one looks like its shaping up to be another amazing Vanillaware title with plenty of depth and features. Today they detailed a few more allies found in the game as well as some of the activities the game has to offer.

First off let’s dig into the new allies:

Virginia (Protagonist’s Ally)
“Today… the Knights of the Rose have their vengeance!”

A survivor of the Cornian royal family. Niece of Queen Ilenia and older cousin of Alain. When Cornia fell, she fled to Drakenhold.

Gilbert (Protagonist’s Ally)
“You’ve quite the grand vision for yourself, seeking to unify the entire continent.”

The crown prince of Drakenhold. Stepping into the shoes of his father the king, slain fighting the Zenoiran army, Gilbert is secretly amassing a force with the aim of restoring the kingdom.

Berengaria (Protagonist’s Ally)
“I told you plain, I don’t want you near me. Now go home and bury yourself in your beloved books, why don’t you?”

Former leader of the Tricorn Mercenaries. Widely feared as a deadly warrior, Berengaria established her own band of mercenaries and quickly grew it into a powerful force—until the day she abruptly disbanded the group and disappeared.

Aramis (Protagonist’s Ally)
“And I, a simple wanderer. You can call me… Aramis.”

A mercenary from Drakenhold hired by the Zenoira army. While his speech and affect is more elegant than might be expected, no one can deny his skill with the blade.

Next up let’s discuss some of the social aspects of Unicorn Overlord. The Rapport stat shows the level of affinity between your characters. This level will increase when you keep a pair of characters together for a length of time. This can trigger events that will show how deeply the pair have connected with each other.  This will come with some bonus in combat as well when they are in the same unit. Rapport can be built up at taverns as well. You will do so by having your allies have a meal together. The amount gained will depend on the meal served, so don’t be cheap, feed your troops well. Lastly, Alain’s Ring of the Unicorn has a counterpart called the Ring of the Maiden.  If Alain’s Rapport level is maxed out with a character, you can give them this ring and the Rite of Covenant will take place. This joins the two together, forever. There are many allies, but in the end there can only be one true bond!

Fate/Extra CCC | Master

The long awaited English translation patch for TYPE-MOON and Imageepoch’s game, Fate/Extra CCC, is now complete and ready to download. Iwakura Productions first announced the project back in September 2015, and a little over 8 years later, fans will finally be able to play the title fully in English. The patch was initially teased to release by Christmas, but it is now available to download well before that date.

You can check out the release video below.

 

The Fate/Extra CCC Translation Team at Iwakura Productions is as follows:

  • Producer/Editor – cj_iwakura
  • Super Hacker – esperknight
  • Translator/Master – rikkuchou
  • Translator/Hero Unit – ItsumoKnight
  • Incredible Hacker – Kotcrab
  • Image Editors – IgorAkou, RoboticBomber
  • FoxTail Translator – EDreamer
  • Quality Checker – Kinsei
  • Translator/Tooler – JS
  • Translator/Battle/Shitposter – SnowyAria
  • Stealthy Translator – khikari
  • Tester: Caterer Class – Telephone_ghost

Messages from the team as well as the English patch download link can be found HERE. A link to report any bugs or typos found while utilizing the patch can also be found in the same post.

Fate/Extra CCC first launched in Japan in March 2013 for PlayStation Portable. An overseas release was never announced for the game, so fans had no way to play the game fully in English, until now. I would like to extend a big thanks to Iwakura Productions and all the Translation Team members who worked tirelessly on this patch for all these years. Many fans have been waiting for the opportunity to play this game and experience its story, and now they have that chance.

PSO2 | Festival Image

Two-and-a-half years is a very long time. Whether it be for a relationship, a job, or even live support for an MMORPG, it is a major milestone that should create feelings of real accomplishment in anyone who achieves it. This month, Phantasy Star Online 2 NEW GENESIS (PSO2 NGS) turns two-and-a-half, and the team behind the game is releasing some seriously new content that is designed to lure back old players and initiate new ones into Planet Halpha in PSO2 NGS.

I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to conduct a SECOND (yes, SECOND!) email interview with Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis’ series producer, Yuya Kimura, where we talked about his career at SEGA, the upcoming Super Genesis Festival, and more.

You can check out the latest on Phantasy Star Online 2 at the official website, on Twitter, on Twitch, on Facebook, on Instagram, on YouTube, and on Discord.


Operation Rainfall: Could you please introduce yourself?

Yuya Kimura: My name is Yuya Kimura, and I’m the series producer of Phantasy Star Online 2 NEW GENESIS (NGS) at SEGA.

OR: You’ve been at SEGA for 21 years, per our last interview in June 2023. Can you tell us one or two of your favorite personal memories worked at such a historic video game company?

YK: I’ve had a pretty unique career over my 21 years here, focused entirely on the development of the Phantasy Star series.

Although there are people who have worked for the same game company for more than 20 years, it is rare in the industry for a creator to work continuously on the same series of titles over all that time. Being involved with the series for so long has given me a lot of happy memories. For example, I’ve heard several stories of people who met and got married because of the series, and I sometimes meet parents with children who play the series as a family. There have also been cases where new SEGA employees played a title I was involved in when they were young—and it was that title that inspired them to become a game developer, and now they’ve actually joined SEGA and are involved in the same title. That’s really a priceless joy that I couldn’t have experienced without having worked for SEGA for so long.

PSO2 | Yuya Kimura

OR: Phantasy Star Online 2 NEW GENESIS ver.2’s December 2023 update is focused on new and returning players for the game’s two-and-a-half year anniversary. Why did you decide to focus this major year-end update about making the storyline more accessible to those types of gamers?

YK: In June 2023, the game was upgraded to Phantasy Star Online 2 NEW GENESIS ver. 2 and new elements such as Creative Space and Portable Holograms were implemented that attracted new players and brought back returning players. However, the battle content for core users released from August onwards had a high barrier to play. In addition, many people who played the content felt that the rewards were not commensurate with the difficulty level or playtime. For those reasons, some people gave up playing midway through.

In response, we made adjustments in October and November, including easing the Join Conditions to make them easier to meet, rebalancing rewards, and implementing a boost campaign. As a result, we believe that the game is stabilizing, still slowly but at a better clip than before. In addition, in December, we will be making NGS easier to play than ever before by further easing requirements and revamping rewards. We hope this will bring back inactive players and entice new users to try NGS.

PSO2 | Update Content

The latest update for PSO2 NGS ver.2 really has a focus on making the game more accessible to players. (Image owned by SEGA).

OR: What kind of changes does The 2½ Year Anniversary Campaign: Super Genesis Festival have to make it so players can experience the storyline more easily?

YK: First, I would like to say that NGS has become really easy to play as of Dec 6, 2023, on a permanent basis, unrelated to the ongoing Super Genesis Festival campaign. To make it easier to catch up with the top players, there’s a permanent +300% boost to EXP Earned in Combat Sectors up to a certain level. Also, just by leveling up, you’ll get pre-enhanced equipment appropriate for your level. Until you reach the highest level, you’ll have no real problems with your equipment. Plus, in NGS, you can set up a Sub-Class in addition to your Main Class. Previously only 50% of the EXP you earned with your Main Class was applied to your Sub-Class, but now that’s been bumped up to 90%.

The latest chapter of the story is Chapter 6. We’ve eased back on the overall difficulty of progressing through the story—as a reward for completing Chapter 5, for example, you get a huge amount of the in-game currency, N-Meseta, as well as tons of avatar items. This lets you quickly push ahead with your adventures while enjoying fashion and other aspects of the game.

Regarding fashion, the period during which you can edit your body shape and other elements of your character’s appearance at the Salon for free after creating a new character has been extended to 72 hours of log in time, a significant increase from the previous 5-hour total. We also have a convenient feature where 15 days of Material Storage is automatically granted after finishing the tutorial.

During the Super Genesis Festival campaign period, we’re running a Use the Salon to your heart’s content! Campaign, and distributing a free Color-Change Pass (x15), Material Storage Use (15 Days) (x1), and more, making it even easier to jump in and play. It’s really the perfect time for new players and ARKS who have been away to come and play NGS.

OR: Also, what new content can veteran players expect in The 2½ Year Anniversary Campaign: Super Genesis Festival?

YK: First of all, overall, there will be more opportunities to obtain the 10-star Flugelgard weapon series. These will be added to some quests that did not previously drop them and drop rates will increase in quests where they already drop.

In early December, the popular Standing Quest: Leciel Exploration will be expanded with new elements and upgraded rewards. Then in mid-December, Dark Falz Aegis, previously only available as an Urgent Quest or Trigger Quest, will make its debut as a Standing Quest in an enhanced, powered-up version.

All of these are challenging, but since a 10-star weapon is included in the drop rewards, we encourage you to give them a try.


“Being involved with the series for so long has given me a lot of happy memories.”


OR: During this timed event from December 6, 2023 through January 24, 2024, there are rewards players can earn. Can you tell us a bit more about what kind of rewards gamers can expect when they participate in it?

YK: In addition to what I just mentioned about the Super Genesis Festival Campaign, from Dec 6-19, 2023 we will be running a Super Treasure Scratch campaign, where twice the usual amount of Treasure Scratch tickets can be earned in Daily Tasks and Treasure Scratch tickets will be added as drops in all Urgent Quests. Plus, during this period, you’ll be able to complete Urgent Quests twice.

In addition, starting on Dec 20, 2023, a new feature called the Reward Box will be added where, by completing the target Daily Tasks, you’ll be able to earn lots of popular past Weapon Camo and avatar items. It works like a Scratch Ticket, but in box format—that means items are never duplicated after being obtained, and, if you take the time, you can be sure to get all of the items.

There will be more campaigns and other ways to get your hands on a variety of rewards from Dec 27, 2023. Details will be announced in the NGS Headline broadcast on Dec 26, 2023.

10-star Flugelgard weapon series

OR: One of the biggest surprises for me in this announcement is that there will be an increase in drops for the 10 Flugelgard series that was released as part of the November 15, 2023, patch. What kind of increase are we talking about? Do you mean that it will be spread across more events, or are drop percentage rates increasing? If we are talking percentage drop rate, can you give us an idea of how significant of an increase it is?

YK: The upward revision of the drop rate is permanent from Dec 6, 2023 and is not limited to the event period.

Regarding the increase in the drop rate, we’ve made it even higher than the Drop Rate +100% boost campaign that we had in November for a variety of content.

OR: Along those lines: How do you determine what the drop-rate percentage for items should be when you’re releasing new content?

YK: The number of drops and number of equipment for the newest weapons are checked daily, and if the actual numbers of drops and equipment are lower than the number of drops and equipment that the development staff had expected before the release, the number is revised upward, as is happening in this case.

OR: At the start of November, a new anti-cheat tool by Wellbia was implemented into Phantasy Star Online 2 NEW GENESIS ver.2. Can you talk a bit about your efforts to combat cheating in Phantasy Star Online 2 NEW GENESIS ver.2, and how does SEGA and your team handles people who are caught cheating in the game?

YK: Since the game launched, we have always devoted a lot of time and money to anti-cheat measures. However, while I do apologize, I am unable to give you any specifics about our countermeasures, because that information may aid rogue users in creating new cheat methods. If you are found to be cheating or otherwise violating our Terms of Service, we will ban your account for either a certain amount of time or permanently, depending on the severity of the offense.

OR: When we last talked in June 2023, Creative Space was going to be released as part of Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis ver.2. What has player feedback been like since it was released, and do you have any plans to enhance it as part of the future roadmap?

YK: We have received a great deal of positive feedback since we first announced our plans to implement Creative Space, and we feel that we have exceeded our own expectations with the very positive response we have received. We’ve also had lots of requests for things to be added, and [we] are working to respond to these as soon as possible.

Creative Space Content

Creative Space is recently added content that lets you shape everything from the terrain to the music playing in your own unique slice of the game. (Image owned by SEGA).

OR: As we wrap up this interview, do you have any last words for people looking forward to The 2½ Year Anniversary Campaign: Super Genesis Festival?

YK: I would like to thank all the ARKS out there for playing NGS.

To express our gratitude, for the first time ever for the PSO2 series, we are currently holding a half-anniversary celebration called the Super Genesis Festival. As I mentioned earlier as well, we are running extensive, fabulous campaigns over the year-end and New Year’s holidays. These campaigns will offer tons of advantages not only to current players, but also to new players and those returning after a break, so we hope everyone will take this opportunity to play NGS.



I want to thank Yuya Kimura for participating in a second interview with us here at oprainfall about PSO2 NGS!

Are you excited about the Super Genesis Festival? What kind of fashion do you hope to wear in the game?

Let us know in the comments below!

Arcadian Atlas | Wulff

Serenity Forge and Twin Otter Studios have released their pixel art style Tactical RPG Arcadian Atlas on PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. The game will set you back $29.99 on your preferred platform.

From the press release:

Arcadian Atlas is a unique, narrative-driven isometric tactical RPG set in Arcadia, a nation tearing itself apart via political factions and treacherous intrigues just as ancient evil forces begin to awaken. With a queen willing to do anything to ascend to the throne, no one is safe.

In order to save Arcadia, players need to build an elite party of adventurers from more than 12 unique classes, each with their own custom skill trees and equipment ranging from potion-brewing apothecaries to magic-channeling warmancers. Strategic, turn-based battles will determine the fate of both the kingdom of Arcadia and its people. Every single action counts: just one wrong move could tear your party and the land itself apart for good.

The stunning pixel art of Arcadian Atlas pairs with a rich story that will push players into tough, emotionally driven choices and send them down an unforgettable path. No one is safe now that the Atlas, a power that can change life in an instant, has been unleashed.

You can check out my full review of the Steam version for more about this decent title.

Fate/Samurai Remnant | New Key Visual

KOEI TECMO has announced more information on an update coming to Fate/Samurai Remnant in December 2023. The update was previously announced in October, but more information was not shared until now.

Fate/Samurai Remnant | December Update 1

The first of these features involves the game’s “Battle Recollections” mode. “Battle Recollections” is unlocked after you progress to a certain point in the main story and allows you to replay some of the boss battles from the game. After the December update, players will be able to choose to play as other characters featured in the game, other than Iori and Saber.

The characters available to play as after the update are as follows:

  • Archer
  • Lancer
  • Assassin
  • Berserker (Musashi Miyamoto)
  • Rogue Saber
  • Rogue Archer (Arjuna)
  • Rogue Lancer (Cú Chulainn)
  • Rogue Assassin (Li Shuwen)
  • Rogue Caster (Circe)
  • Rogue Berserker

Fate/Samurai Remnant | December Update 2

The second feature of the update adds two (2) new difficulty levels to the game, one easier and one more difficult. The easier difficulty is Apprentice and makes it so that players can enjoy the story more. It lowers enemy HP and attack, increases enemy knockdown duration, among other things.

The harder difficulty is Fatal Sword and is looking to be more difficult than the game’s current hardest difficulty, Sword Demon. Fatal Sword increases enemy HP and attack, there are no retries, and you can’t use items during battle. Truly this a mode for those looking for the ultimate challenge.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. This update with additional features is currently scheduled for a release in December 2023. If you’re interested in the game, consider checking out our review.

Atlus has dropped a lot of details about their upcoming release of Unicorn Overlord. This game is being developed by the famous Vanillaware and looks to be just as amazing as their previous works.

The story here takes place on the continent of Fevrith. This land was once comprised of five nations: Cornia, Drakenhold, Elheim, Bastorias, and Albion. However, the reborn Zenoiran Empire dominates the land now. The Kingdom of Cornia is located in the center of the continent. This is a very fertile land with a powerful military force. The lords of the kingdom are very loyal to the royal family, and Queen Ilenia’s name is sacred to her subjects.

Drakenhold is a land of mountains and deserts in the southeastern part of the continent. This kingdom has a ton of mineral resources and military force led by dragon knights. They have fought with Cornia over border issues for many years.

Elheim is a land of elves, these include both light and dark. This land is nestled in verdant forests in the southwestern part of the continent. They have an interesting system of government, headed Turenós. The woods guard this land from any would be invaders.

Bastorias is a country extending across a vast cold region to the north. This land is home to various types of beast-folk known as “bestrals” who possess frightening martial prowess. This country has no King and is run mostly by the clan leaders.

Lastly, there is Albion. This is a religious state on a large island in the western part of the continent. This faith based military is under the command of the Pontiff of the Palevian Orthodoxy. Many winged individuals called Angels live here.

Unicorn Overlord‘s cast is about what you would expect from a fantasy game like this. There is Travis who is a spy, a powerful mage named Yahna, a Knight named Clive, Chloe: another member of the Liberation Army and Josef’s apprentice, a former Knight named Hodrick and lastly Melisandre who is head of House Meillet, a distinguished Cornian clan.

Gameplay here will consist of players taking on quests for various rewards. As you liberate or rebuild towns ravaged by the empire, you will gain access to new facilities such as inns and weapons shops. You will also be able to station troops in towns you have rebuilt to collect rewards each round, or play a mining minigame to get even more materials for your army in this war!

Unicorn Overlord will release March 8, 2024 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
