Folklore: Japanese Trailer

This gorgeous footage is the Japanese trailer for Folkore on the PS3. It strikes me as a sort of Final Fantasy meets Fatal Frame (minus the camera) type game all set in what seems to be Ireland. The thing that really attracts me is the village of Lemrick. A place where the living can meet the dead. Mmmm, scary! Is the game a must have? Only time will tell, but I'll certainly be keeping an eye on this game from JapanStudio. While we wait for more details on Folklore, click play on the vid and leave your thoughts.

I don't think I need to point out that the game looks gorgeous! But what about the story? Hopefully it has something new and refresing without stereotyping the characters.

....I didn't like the music that they put with the trailer. It just didn't go with it and hopefully it's not part of the actual game. It made it looked less magical compare to the English trailer:

Like you said, only time will tell what would become of this game~

Looks like there is some Alice in Wonderland influence as well.

Interesting. With this one, my decision next year for "360 versus PS3" is getting that much harder....

I keep thinking of Neil Gaiman's Mirror Mask for some reason...

Yes. This game is looking more and more like a must buy.

They really had me at the henshin sequence. Looks like God of War with much less stereotyped masculinity.

This is what I've been waiting to see for the PS3; about bloody time. Sony won the last console war not with superior hardware, but with quirky, *different* story and character driven games.

I really hope this is a sign of things to come.

And girls who like girls who like rumble packs!
