Video: Blood of Bahamut Trailer
The countdown that Square Enix put up last week finally reached zero today which meant the Japanese website for the game, Blood of Bahamut, went live. With the site going live, a Japanese trailer for the game also was put up that was rather interesting (and embedded above). From the footage, that fact that the game is more of an action RPG is definitely evident; however, the game also seems to involve scaling and killing a giant, much like Shadows of Colossus. In fact, that's all I could really think about during the last half of the trailer. It'll be interesting to see how the RPG mechanics of the game play into that theme. If they give me a horse to go fight him on, though, I'm going to be a little worried about possible lawsuits. The game will be coming out on the DS in Japan in 2009, and hopefully will one day be launched outside of just Japan.

Oh boy! another DS RPG! Why am I no longer excited about it? :(
Sure it is very remeniscent of SotC, but that's because that's the only game (as far as I know) where you scale huge creatures to then slay/defeat them.
That said, I would hope this play mechanic wasn't shunned by other games just becuase it was done first by SotC, because I quite like it.
Should Shadow Hearts and other games since not have used the Judgement ring because there had been games out before it that employed a similair play mechanic?
Sure the Shadow of the Colossus example is a bit more extreme, but that's only because it played a much bigger part in the game.
I don't think this colossus (Alexander of FF-fame, perhaps?) is but a single battlefield in a more expansive game.
Anyhow, this is an Action RPG, and thus holds no interest for me. I sucked at Star Ocean 3, and I don't like to play games that I suck at. ;P
It's pretty hard to suck at turn-based games, so they're definitely made for me! :D
Woo! I'm excited... even though alexander does not = colossus and they're doin it wrong :p
