"Magna Carta!"
, posted Mon 7 Jun 10:59
Excellent, Magna Carta is FINALLY being translated to Japanese for the PS2...this is the related series to War of Genesis, which I'm sure many people know for its incredible artwork (the only game artwork that parallels Amano and Kubooka, to my mind). It's got an official site with a sweet hardcover art book for pre-order! http://www.magnacarta.jp / RPGFan.com has the info in English, too. Anyone with experience in the Korean one? I'd love to know more about Genesis...

As much as I love Yoshitaka Amano's artwork, I never liked him as a game character designer because... well, the characters don't look like his illustrations at all most of the time, and Final Fantasy doesn't uses face portraits :(

True, though even bringing up my menu screen in FF VI was a source of joy...and just looking at Amano's concept sketches for VII-X makes me wonder what the atmosphere would have been like...especially if they were non super-deformed. Yup, unabashed Amano fan, always liked the level of uniqueness and (I think) sophistication that stood out among anime-satured RPG characters.
Anyhow, the Magna artist is amaaazing, I've got to kill for that artbook.

I kind of want to play The Rhapsody of Zephyr, but this would have to do for now.
I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard. I will rule the world and find that truly good cup of coffee. "Dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-do."

You can get the PC (Korean) version of this from play-asia for $20, for those who don't care about the story or who can read Korean.
Updated when I can... which isn't very often. ^_^;;

The cover is different... Think itīs a different edition (without the artbooks and all the extra stuff)?

....desde hace mucho tiempo.
Well, I can only pray that this game recieves good audience on the japan; so we could eventually face a crappy US release that I'll be getting for sure.

This isn't a translation, though. It's a completely different game with the same title. The original MC game wasn't very good..
I have two sites about heroines in the two games: http://rinoa.nu/sherazard frpm WOG3p1 http://rinoa.nu/juclecia from MC

Yes, that art is on the official site as well, and doesn't looks like HTK's previous works but they still keep his style and proportions so it can be:
-a clone (but that's unlikely unless they're as low as Sammy using that Murata clone) -rushed pics by HTK (more likely) -sketches by HTK finished by somebody else (also likely)
