Nostalgia via Kotaku

After reading about this on Kotaku, even though I'm not that big into RPG's, this game has very much sparked an interest. Maybe it's just my love of Steampunk, who knows. Either way, color me curious.

As if they couldn't make their marketing strategy for this game any more blatant!

Works for me! Especially after reading this:

From the creators of Dragon Quest V, Final Fantasy III and IV for the DS, Thousand Arms, Fatal Frame, and Grandia comes Nostalgia, an original steampunk role-playing game for the Nintendo DS.

And then there's this:

with art direction by Yoshiteru Tsujino (Far East of Eden), airship design by Takuhito Kusanagi (Grandia, Blue Submarine No.6, Samurai 7), and enemy design by Keita Amemiya (Iria- Zeiram the Animation, Kamen Rider),

LOOK AGAIN:

Woooow. [tornado fang]ing bought on just the merit of his design alone.

I would've highlighted Samurai 7 over that, but that's me!

Well if there's anything Blue Submarine No. 6 did right, it was ship designs.

Seriously, it's like Skies of Arcadia meets Steamboy.

With a name like Nostalgia, I came to this thread expecting stuff like NES, Super Nintendo, etc.

Despite not being anything like that, I'm not disappointed.

Day One!!

I'm so happy that I played Grandia and Threads of Fate before this. ^o^

Also, it would seem that info about this has been pretty decently spread out for a while!

The big news is it's being localized, and for that I'm thankful.

borockman · **Reply #16 on:** April 29, 2009, 04:18:32 AM

Oh that's good news indeed! The artwork reminds me of 90's manga. It's a good thing.

Jericho · **Reply #17 on:** April 29, 2009, 04:25:12 AM

I think I've figured out why the game invokes nostalgia right from the get go. The art is drawn with that "soft" style that a lot of SNES RPGs used to use for their box art and character art. I really like it though.

As soon I read 'Steampunk' and 'Zeppelin' and 'Grandia'. I'm about 80% sold

Quickman · **Reply #19 on:** April 30, 2009, 09:27:08 AM

Seeing a steampunk zepplin and that logo was enough to grab my interest! Steampunk RPGs are cool. I am looking forward to this, and all the artwork it can give me.
