Famitsu’s YouTube channel has been tossing out character-focused trailers of Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky, and RPG for Vita and PS4.
GD365: "Today, we have several off-the-radar game deals to highlight. All of the deals are for physical, boxed copies. Plus, there’s a deal on an Amiibo Super Smash Bros. Series Figure (Zelda) from Japan."
Some games have a rather unusual way of conveying information and taking people on an adventure, and we then see that mechanic mimicked. Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution and GuitarFreaks led to games like Pump It Up and Guitar Hero. Tri-Ace’s Valkyrie Profile is a similar sort. It’s an RPG, but blends in platforming and a more active interface for engaging in attacks. But, as interesting as its ideas were, they didn’t really influence other games at the time. Rather, it took years for other titles to start picking up on the concepts and attempting to integrate them into their own experiences.
It's such a tired concept to have a lot of people get killed on Earth and then be granted immortality by a god, along with massive combat prowess. Exist Archive represents yet another iteration of this incredibly common idea.
I wonder if they went with the Chibi style because it's also on Vita. Either way, this looks like it could be interesting. Has a US release been announced yet?
