Wow, the art-style looks so similar to Dragon Ball.

Neckbear4793d ago

...Well, duh, it's the same artist.

I am looking forward to the sequel to "Hand of the Heavenly Bride", "Attorney of the Hellish Divorce".

That one got stopped in development when I threatened to sue them for plagiarizing my life-story.

I find it amazing that they can put out so many FF and DQ/DW games that are following the same template and each and every time I'm thoroughly satisfied. I guess if it isn't broken...

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle8d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger8d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag8d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
