@@odjrin My main problem with them is that they dont have the gameplay or depth to last their overall runtimes.

Cant comment too much on Dragons crow as i never had the desire to actually finish it(which is a problem in and of itself). Vanillaware games either need more variety and depth or to be half as long as they are cause they get boring REALLY fast. Tl;dr Having games that are both long AND repetitive is a bad mix.
13 Sentinels would have been awesome on Switch. Heck, the fact that quite a bit of it is like a visual novel would have been a nice fit for the Switch's portability.
This cast leans more on the older side (save for the kid). I'm all for it. And I'm so glad turn based and strategy JRPGs are making a comeback because for a while they all either turned into action games or remained in Japan only.
@@TheSignatureK I had a Snes back in the day with about 150 games because i also had a Profighter. (A dubious game copying device from Hong Kong) I must of had like only 3 JRPG's though! 🤔
So excited for this! Not getting enough love from the Direct, I will be making sure everyone I know who likes JRPGs is aware of this. The character design is on point.
Not only am I interested in the game, but if there's an "Art and Lore of Astria Ascending" book that comes out, I would totally buy it. It has a lovely painterly art style, and the fantasy races are not your typical elf/dwarf/orc fare, which is refreshing. Like, I have no idea what sort of being that is at 1:43, but just by looking at it, I'm extremely curious about its culture and lore. That's good character design. Here's hoping this game is as much of a winner as the trailer seems to indicate.

@@Santoryu90 There is one that has reminiscent art style, another eden , but to be fair both the team have ex final fantasy devs , and the best looking mobile games dont look bad at all probleme is often the monetization .
Oof it ain’t even pixel art, it’s 2D mixed with 3D and that’s literally been done long before Octopath (Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Vanillawear games, etc.) lol
@@TheOwlet22 lol to you. 2D Models in 3D worlds isn't the same as 3D models in 2D worlds that are only 2D because the hardware sucked back then. There are also a lot of similarities with the battle system like the Weaknesses or Focus Points
It is an octopath traveller rip off though, spending focus points in order to empower attacks, and finding an enemy's weakness to negate their charge attacks / their turn, thats a literal rip off if it ships like this
You know the game looks good when it catches your eye amongst all the other BOMBSHELL announcements crammed into that E3 Direct. I’m excited to try it! :)
This game used to be an iOS game but they've changed it a lot and i'm very excited to see how it plays. The old game the classes revolved around astrology signs i'm wondering if this game does too... Can't wait!
i freaking hate it when enemies dont have healthbars. I was SO happy to find out you can scan enemies in CrisTales and from that point on, it always displays that enemy's health when you run into them again. I hope theres something like that here
What I don't understand is why Nintendo continues to allow rumors about the remastering of the Legend of Zelda games: Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask 3ds, and Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HD for the hybrid console Nintendo Switch if according to them it's not true.
I can see the Dragon's Crown in the art direction but character designs remind me of Legend of Mana and Ivalice races. It's more Square than Vanillaware even down to the logo.
There not being any footage of what the game is like in between fights is very suspicious. A tactical battle system is great but the story and world is what makes these games.
I absolutely love how they tailored the classes to non-clichée character designs. Gramps thief and bulky sorcerer are a great idea.
I like these ideas too!
I live for the elderly summoner. Playable old women are rare in games in general.

We still need Vanillaware to put games on the Switch though, where's Odin Sphere and Dragon's Crown? It's been five years now and Atlus haven't supported the Switch properly.
Valkyrie Profile vibes.
This doesn't come close to Vanillaware artstyle.

@@ahmednabil1733 Not to mention Muramasa and GrimGrimoire. These 2 need a rerelease the most imo..
This was one of the most interesting games in the Direct for me
Same! Metroid is obviously exciting but this looked very cool too.
But it wasn't actually in the direct.
This is one of the most low-key games shown in the direct nobody is talking about
I watched the whole thing and I honestly don’t remember this trailer at all
I dont think this was there
@@ZephyrK_ It wasn't, there was like 15sec of gameplay in the direct
Damn, I totally overlooked this one. I can‘t even remember seeing it in the direct. This looks damn good!
I expected to be tons of Ulan offbrand by now.
This makes me wish Vanillaware would port their games to the Switch…
Agreed.
Honestly Vanillaware games look better than they play. Except 13 sentinals. havent played that yet.

An old thief and a muscular sorcerer? That's something. I like the art style it looks great.
Bulky sorcerer: I cast Fist targeting your face, Magical Puuuuuuunch!
He’s a magical girl on the inside
Imagine Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist. He casts alchemy by flexing, hahaha. He'd fit right in with this crew, I'm sure.
This looks great. Love the art style.
Omg with this art style we need dragon crown on switch with muramasa and odin sphere im still die here 😭
Yo id love some muramasa. That game was dope on the vita
And Dragon's Crown. I enjoyed playing with my friends with that one
Gods YES. Dragon’s Crown on the Switch is my absolute dream.
Great games!
This cast leans more on the older side (save for the kid). I'm all for it. And I'm so glad turn based and strategy JRPGs are making a comeback because for a while they all either turned into action games or remained in Japan only.
Looking forward for more JRPG’s because Nintendo loves them! ✨
The switch is honestly the perfect console for JRPG’s too - my backlog is crazy 😂
JRPG’s were Nintendo’s lifeblood in the SNES days so why not now?
@@TheSignatureK I had a Snes back in the day with about 150 games because i also had a Profighter. (A dubious game copying device from Hong Kong) I must of had like only 3 JRPG's though! 🤔
Very true😄
Pretty much this since Sony has turned it'd back on Japanese styled games.
Very Dragon's Crown-esque
Totally! Came here looking for this comment
Only in art style. That was an beat em up. This is a turn based rpg.
Dragons crown with a hint of octopath traveller
@@Undying3001 obviously...
It's actually very similar to another Vanillaware game called Grand Knights History.
Looks like a mix of Child of Light-Odin Sphere and I definitely like it.

1:52 it's like a humanoide Goat see his great horns and his tail, if i'm not wrong he walk on 4 legs
This game looks really interesting, tbh. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one
I can't wait for this game. It looks like a painting came to life.
People are sleepin on this game, I'm telling ya

This looks like a mobile game
@@scrubara What mobile games have you been playing?
@@Santoryu90 There is one that has reminiscent art style, another eden , but to be fair both the team have ex final fantasy devs , and the best looking mobile games dont look bad at all probleme is often the monetization .
So, what is looking good with this game? Right now it didn't show anything interesting except art style.
Gameplay reminds me of Octopath, which I loved. A definite must have for me.
"Hey, this Octopath Traveler game seems like it's got legs; what if we just . . ."
Oof it ain’t even pixel art, it’s 2D mixed with 3D and that’s literally been done long before Octopath (Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Vanillawear games, etc.) lol

Love the art style, character design, environments, colors and attack/spell animations.. reminds me of Dragon's Crown
This game looks really dope.
This is one of those dark horse reveals for me that caught my interest. Planning on buying this down the line for sure.
You know the game looks good when it catches your eye amongst all the other BOMBSHELL announcements crammed into that E3 Direct. I’m excited to try it! :)
I hope this gets a physical release! I doubt it will for Westerners. Maybe South East Asia will get one and I can import it!
Pre-order the Asia version from PlayAsia. It’s a physical copy that will have English support.
@@jikifreak I’m not seeing it on the play Asia website :( maybe I’m not looking in the right spot
A physical release is indeed planned on PS4/PS5 and Switch!
I am enjoying the fact that they chose ages that are not preteen, but actual adults.
This game used to be an iOS game but they've changed it a lot and i'm very excited to see how it plays. The old game the classes revolved around astrology signs i'm wondering if this game does too... Can't wait!
Didn’t expect the buff guy (Dagmar) to be a sorcerer!
Didn't expect the geriatric dude to be a thief d:
I'm so glad this still has life, after being announced for the Vita 5 or 6 years ago.
i freaking hate it when enemies dont have healthbars. I was SO happy to find out you can scan enemies in CrisTales and from that point on, it always displays that enemy's health when you run into them again. I hope theres something like that here
Is that Amano-San logo art? Looks like his work! Looking forward to this! As always Nintendo, you stole and rocked the show!
It's not, but I can see why you thought that. It just emulates his logo style. The giveaway is the lack of signature, and the style of the faces.
the art style looks a lot like Child of Light which was awesome
The soundtrack at the start of the video also reminded me of Child of Light.
This game just make me realize, we need more Vanillaware games on Nintendo consoles
Still waiting for Dragons Crown
"English and japanese voices available"
Me : say no more
Comparison between US and Japanese voice actors...
Me: Why to bother with English
weebs
@@emmanuelvazquez5036 English dub can be good, just look at Genshin Impact
@@emmanuelvazquez5036 I use english voice actors so you can keep that comment lol. Beautiful wife tho.
that was the best story from astria ascending, it's really awesomeness Nintendo E3 2021 trailer game.
It was Artisan Studios! That's why the UI design reminded me of Super Neptunia RPG.
More of games like this please!
the combat got a strong octopath vibe, but is it just combat? I didn't see anything outside of combat
I mean, the fact that there are eight characters, and all seem to have their own job type, reminds me of it too.
@@OgreManGaming And charging attacks is from octopath traveler too
Very nice! No ideas if the gameplay be will be good, but the visuals are certainly on point! Definitively want to give it a try.
Characters design is insane in this game need 2 check it out
Art style looks dope
I LOVE the little fish bowl sorcerer! 🐠
It's showtime!
Im actually super hyped for this game.
rune soldier vibes with buff sorc bruh and I love it. Really love how it visually reminds me of grand knights history.
Looks amazing also Hitoshi Sakimoto? 🤩
Looks so good like a Lineage 2 Art.

There is! :D (Ps4/Ps5 ans Switch)

Goddamn. My jrpg consumption is HUGE this year.
Turn-based combat? Ok you have my interest now
Nice to see you again Zodiac Orcanon Odyssey….
Thank youuuuuu I knew the game characters looked familiar !!!!!!!!
Nostalgic bravely default vibes 💪
This looks interesting. I'm totally getting this.
This kind of reminds me of the child of light in some aspects
wow. I saw that Dagmar animation a long time ago by an animator. This game must've been in development for quite a while.
It was already an iPhone game, to pretty poor reviews, but this is a reimagining as a more premium title.
look forward to this game.
Looks like a good quality game.
Yes I'm that gut that says first at the start of the video
This looks pretty fun! I love the character design
Looks like digital art book come to life
I'm going to wait to see if we get a physical release from Limited Run Games or something. I love me some English voiced Turn based RPGs :)
yo this really peaked my attention, big time
Love the artowork, it looks beautiful on the Switch !
Game is free on Game Pass on September 30th (Day One!) woo!
i really really REALLY hope we can make the text bigger
The bravely default sequel we deserved
Real Battle Chasers: Nightwar vibes from this (that's not a bad thing).
A mage with a big body .. Feels refreshing to me when i saw it..
Okay Nintendo this is a game I want
People be sleeping on this one! I have not seen anyone talking about this one.
Any word on how much this’ll cost? This def looks like a game I’d love to try out
Probably 40 bucks is my guess
@@morriganrenfield8240 that seems fair enough
There not being any footage of what the game is like in between fights is very suspicious. A tactical battle system is great but the story and world is what makes these games.
The "overworld" was already shown off in the first announcement/reveal trailer. This trailer is meant to show off the characters and the combat.
Classic turnbase rpg with improve graphic and good voice acting
I LOVE IT
The smooth idle animations remind me of some korean mobile games...
I'd hate to sound like one of those guys
But this really makes me want Dragon's Crown on Switch
The physics would be great on Switch
Very excited for this... Octopath Traveler II.
So many games! So little time!
Child of Light vibes. I like it.
YES MORE TURN BASED PLZ
This looks really good!
any overworld? Nice art I admit
I feel bad, I LOVE RPGs like this, but I just never have the time for them 😔
I feel your pain! Just take a very long number two and have at it!
octopath traveler with dragon blaze art. cool👍👍👍
This looks amazing
I'm so excited for this
Oooh I missed this. Me want
I love this already and hope for a physical version but the wait is untill september 30th
Did VanillaWare change their company name?
It looks great but how about story progress ? like octopath traveler i guess
Octopath Travelers 2 /s
Dunkey’s gonna have a field day with this one.
Nice art style.
finally a normal turn based rpg haw long i have been waiting for
And variated characters like FF9, not the K-pop idol group of the recent SE lol
Thats amazing, i,like the graphics hope it comes to europe
Its the same direct so yes it will
music sounds real good
Loving the look of this
this looks amazing! my birthday is in that day and i don't even have a 3ds😴
Hope this doesn't get slept on, it looks great!
Looks nice, thanks
