The 5 team members, all ugly.
Strangely, the new hero (on the right) would be the less ugly...if he was a girl (like Remy)(Leny ? The german one of ST2).
The game happens at NY and will be released in summer 2005.
ST4 will be released on Windows at one point in the future. A Sakura Taisen Monogatari-teito hen is scheduled to be released someday.

The only good news in all this is the release next spring of ST3 on PS2.

Maybe this was done to force all of us to choose the red head.
I wonder if Fujishima Kousuke did the designs for this team as well?

Looks more like the designs are by Matsubara Hidenori like in Sakura Taisen 3... quite ugly, anyway.

So... I take it the PS2 will never see a release of 2 (dammit) or 4 (meh)? They're going to stick it with just the odd numbers? Maybe they'll pull a LSL and skip 6 and go stright to 7 citing "lost data" as the cause. :P

Ratchet is not a good character either ! What are you talking about ? Her absence from the series is the only good news so far !

This is sad, the only semi-decent characters designs are the red-head and the blonde. Even then...*sigh* Sakura Taisen has always used its loveable character designs to really help the player enjoy the game. I mean, the battle system is fun, but for the most part, the battles are fairly easy (although, there are a few exceptions, but nothing every too hard or just plain hard). Hmmmmmm.... maybe.... nah. Maybe Sakura Taisen 6 will be somewhere different with another new set of characters. I mean, technically the cast of 1 only appeared again in 2 also with 2 new additions. 3 had new cast (with guest appearances by the cast of 1 and 2), and I still say 4 was an excuse to have everyone together and as a choice (which wasn't that bad, but the game was just too short and the story not deep, in part thanks to the shortness). So, maybe hope will come in Sakura Taisen 6, but I think I will stay on the sidelines for this one, but still do some research and perhaps buy it if I see it cheap enough.

EDIT: Actually, upon further inspection, the little girl in the poncho might be cool if she is hiding some bad ass weapons under that poncho. Little killer praire girl does sound appealing...

? I'm sorry, I happen to like Ratchet. I find her design pleasing, and I don't mind the "severely warped perceptions on the way human interactions work". I want to see just how she spoiled everything earlier on. X-D

Ratchet was an okay design... but she was 5x better than this group. She was also established in the ST1 remake, so including here would have made some sense.

I never thought I'd say that I could design a better gumi but that day has come. These are really, really painful for me to look at. >_<

Yes, ST3 coming to PS2 is very good news. If they don't mangle it like they did ST1, I might buy it again. I'll buy it again if they have more Mell and Ci even if they do mangle it. I'm weak that way.

I've never liked more than one character in each Sakura Taisen game, so this is nothing special for me.

I'm excited about the 3 remake, though. Of course, I'm sure I'll get it and everyone will say "The original was 46908640986 times better!"

Ah ? Can you develop ?
Then... maybe she'll be here, she'll join the team in a late scenario, but there won't be a Ratchet Ending, like Mel&Ci...

About ST3, I don't know if they plan to add events to it, but if they add a Mel ending, I'll be happy. (and a Ci ending ! and a Kayama ending ! AND A GRANDMA ENDING ! AND A NAPOLEON EN OK I'll stop now)
AND don't take away the minigames.

Hmmmm, I didn't think about them adding new stuff to the ST3 remake. If they have a Mel or Ci ending, I'll be happy. Or maybe, they will have a "Mel and Ci" ending, hehehe. But, no... no grandma ending....that should not exist...*shudder*

It looks like an uninspired imitation of an original robot of SRT...

... the more I look at the group, the more I think the heroin is the less ugly of the girls... I would never have thought the series would fall down like that.
And the assexual character (Subaru, is that it ?) is...... I mean, Bridget was a success because he was cute as a girl, what do they think they're going to achieve with him/her ?
He/she looks like a disgusting yaoi fangirl who would sell dôjins of One Piece at the Comicket.

Edit : and He/She was in the same team as Ratchet... So I guess Retchet will definitely appear at some point in the game.
I kinda like Sagita (?), the black lawyer... But then, if all the girls have a job (and are ugly) are we going to lose the double life pattern, playing/dancing in a theatre by day, fighting crime at night ?

The designs have been going in that direction ever since ST3 really. Even in the remake they made them less boxy and such.

BTW, am I wrong to feel happiness when I look at the sad face of the female Ranma clone? Now if I could see them all sad and have Kayama appear to beat the snot out of Ogami's nephew I think I would attain bliss.

Oh, I've seen elsewhere that Ratchet is in fact in this, but is not 'obtainable' like Mell/Ci.

Everytime I read Ratchet in this thread, I think of Red Company's other game Thousand Arms and how the Ratchet from that game is sadly hard to find any images of.

It's a problem with my brain. Every anime redhead with blue eyes seems like female Ranma to me. And every girl with green hair seems like Lum. I think it's Takashism or something.

Ow... Ah... Eh, yeah.
Let's see... The heroin is... the heroin, and since I hated Sakura, she can't possibly be worse (though I doubt very much she could top Erika). Sagitta is... maybe the Maria of the team ? Or maybe the Grandma... (mother side and all). Ricarita or whatever is even worse than Coquelicot. At least Iris was cute. Diana seems the iyashi-kei... And the Subaru mystery. When they first showed Hanabi, I wasn't half has doubtful as I am now. I wonder what the japanese ST fans think of this...

Oh, and do we know when the game is supposed to take place ? Since Ratchet already left the Hoshigumi, I guess after ST4, but how much?

Do we know the timespan between STV zero and the true game? Because with Erika in STV 0, I'd say that takes place soon after ST4.

I'm also very curious to what Japanese fans think of these designs. They're so different from the previous two casts, except for the lead girl.

I thought the lead was supposed to be a Suchi-Pai knock-off. It's great how anime character designs can fall into the same sort of creative ruts again and again. Still, the other girls in the cast seem to have found new and horrible ways to stand out from the crowd so I guess there's always the chance for something new regardless of whether or not it's actually any good.

Odd that the designs for the prequel look really good to me, though I'm not sure if the actual gameplay will be worth a purcase. Draw distance looks worse than DW4.

Yeah it looks like a PSX game at a higher resolution which isn't very comforting...

I like how she takes baths with her hat on and that Erika rides a Zebra.

More seriously is the badguy from this game the same one who Maria killed in the ST movie?

I think they're so in the hole from production costs of the two games that they want to do anything they can to get those sales, even if it means pimping the most popular characters in the series thus far.

Erika should really use maracas as a weapon though.
