That's really all there is to say about it. There's no big event on the Pangya PC game (though I'm hoping there will be). It doesn't appear that the US release has any cool bonuses either. Maybe I'm just not checking enough sources.
The Tomy site says "PSP Exclusive Content" but that could mean anything :\
Hopefully things will pick up as the days come. Like I said, not much to say now.
A video for Tales of VS. It appears to be out in Japan, it should be coming to America soon enough.
As I suspected, it looks like a Smash Bros featuring the Tales characters, which is awesome! It looks like they've got new models for the older characters. Everything looks so nice, all things considered.
I wonder how the stats are going to work. I imagine balance will be thrown off a little. Hopefully when it's player vs player it will be okay.
A pretty good cast list. I think it's kind of strange how they would choose Richter to represent Tales of Symphonia 2 instead of of Emil or Marta, but I don't mind too much.
It's the English release of Pangya PSP! It's finally got its own place on the Tomy site. The trailer isn't all that different from the Korean or Japanese trailers, save the logo.
I can't wait for it to come out, if I could pre-order I would.
Here's hoping we get some of the same goodies that Japan and Korea got, like the figurine or the PSP pouch
It's appears to be a cross between two awesome games (Smash bros and Tales of), with the Tales heroes (and heroines) dating back to Tales of Destiny (maybe even further back).
The graphics look decent for PSP, and the gameplay can be nothing short of awesome if they stick to the Tales trademark battle system.
This is going on the list of "Awesome PSP games I must have!" It's getting to be quite a list
A new Project DIVA promotional video featuring Miku dancing to a mix of Livetune's Packaged, OSTER Project's 恋スルVOC@LOID and ryo's ワールドイズマイン (World is Mine).
There's just something so adorable in dancing Miku. It's just so incredibly cute. Miku has some sexy charm while she's dancing to World is Mine too.
I can't wait for this game to come out. It's supposed to come out July 2 of this year in Japan. Maybe I'll get it, since I doubt it'll come to America.
Also, an hour long Yappa Asobina cover on the game. I don't know Japanese, so I found an article that covers it pretty well.
It appears that Pangya PSP has been officially released (or at least, a released date has been set, I can't tell, I can't read Korean).
The basic edition is exactly what it sounds like. It's the game, and it appears to come with a card of some kind, maybe a collectible.
What I'm more excited about is the Limited Edition and the Limited Edition Pack. The LE is basically the game but with a different cover, one featuring Arin in one of her new costumes laying down nicely sprawled out.
The pack comes with the aforementioned game with special cover and *drum roll please*
A figurine measuring 16.5 cm. It's Kooh in one of her new costumes standing on what looks like a part of the Lunar Tomb holding up Dolfini. It's a very cute figure.
The pack also includes a Papel pouch for your PSP. Also very cute, I would love to have one of those to carry my PSP around in.
The OST also comes with this. I imagine it comes with all of the background music as well as the new ones (Starlight and Fly Away, as well as a few others that haven't been featured in the trailers I imagine).
All of that comes in a really nice box. Really nice.
That link has all of the pictures. I can't find a price, but I probably couldn't afford to buy it anyway (and then importing). I'm extreme tempted though since the PSP is region free. That LE pack would be the greatest thing to have ever.
This is looking awesome! Finally a new character is revealed. Also, an even better look at the visuals. Looks like all of the settings are the same, and indeed the characters have a lot of their older costumes along with new ones.
Cien Looks awesome. New caddies (?) look amazing too. Can't forget about the music either. 2 awesome samples featured in those trailers. I hope this game comes to America.
These haven't been uploaded to youtube yet (at the time of this posting) so you'll have to deal with nico nico douga ;) EDIT: Alright, they're on youtube
The trailer is old news, but I haven't blogged for a while so here's something.
A Pangya spinoff for the PSP, Fantasy Golf Portable features everything you love about Pangya and more. As you can see from the trailer, they've got new costumes and vastly improved graphics. While a lot of the clips from that trailer and pre-rendered animated sequences, I doubt the gameplay differs too much from what you would expect from Pangya.
A little more snooping reveals possible new characters too!
Straying from the original cast of 8 characters (it doesn't look like Lucia is in this game unfortunately), there appears to be a much larger cast (I count 18 spots for characters on the roster). This should definitely add a little more variety to the game. I wonder if they'll be adding new caddies too... The trailer also shows what appears to be a lot of the courses from the original game. Most of it looks like it's just rendered in the new style, but you never know, it was only a 15 second trailer.
I haven't seen any older costumes in the trailer. All of the art for this game shows the characters, but in new costumes. I suspect everything was redone about the game (visually), which means new costumes, settings, and rendering engine. The actual models for the characters don't appear to differ too much from the original game, but that's okay.
I bet the music will be similar, but with a few new tracks (IE the music featured in the trailer). ESTi (AKA Jinbae Park) is an awesome musician. He did a lot of the music for Pangya as well as other games like Ragnarok Online (SoundTeMP) and La Tale.
A lot of the art for the game can be found at the lead artist's website (Park Jeong Hoon AKA SeeDark). ESTi's site is also interesting, though it doesn't feature anything about the game. His blog has a little more about it, though it's in Korean.
Also, this site has some pretty pictures. I don't know how much info it provides about the game though.
