天下制覇

Yes, yes. It has a better VA cast than most shows. Let’s move on from that.

What can I say? When it rains PVs, it pours. I’d still rather Frontier Aja be working on Big Bang Beat II, but this is still looking good too. Yuyuko’s and Youmu’s gothic redesigns look especially good. I’m hoping that with all the recycled enemies, Aja will put a little more thought into level design this time. Well, and that they’re just showing very very very deceptive videos and it’s on to a Symphony of the Night clone. I’ll rationalize however I damn well like, thank you very much.

Frontier Aja should already have their hands full enough with Big Bang Beat 2, but they’ve announced that they’re making good progress on the sequel to the gothic style Castlevania clone from last year, Scarlet Symphony. They’re bringing a trial version to Retaiwhatever on the 19th, but haven’t decided whether to put it up online yet. Still, I’ve got to say that I love the art style and re-imaginings of the characters that they’re doing for this, even if classique Castlevania games aren’t really my thing. I think I preferred SS1’s Sakuya design (I miss the brighter stripes), but this one’s not bad either. Chen’s the only confirmed new character so far, but that probably means that the rest of the PCB gang is coming with her this time around. Who knows, maybe they’ll even include their English (and French!) patch right out of the box this time. Silly doujin games getting official translations these days… what is the world coming to?
