@@SquidJoe was literally looking up info on this today.. apparantly the ceo said there was problems with porting it ;/ but that they would be working on finishing/releasing their latest game and then maybe work on looking into a re-release!!
@@omensoffate yeah at the start I was like, what's with this Vanillaware kind of artstyle, but the food was the hard confirm for me and many others it seems, since they always use hand drawn delicious looking food. That was the hard confirm for me personally is what I meant
It took them years to make a good fighting game lol dragons crown is the only actually good game out of the ones you mentioned. I think you're just a fanboy 😆 nothing wrong with that though.
I'm not even a fan of strategy games, but a game like this with beautiful visuals, gorgeous music, and developed by Vanillaware? Definitely one of the games I'm most excited for.
@@humidificateurhydraulique3321 They've made several excellent games. They're probably most known for Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Dragon's Crown, but they also made Odin Sphere, Grim Grimoire, and some others.
I never dared dream anyone would actually give Ogre battle a second chance, least of all a studio as unbelievably good as Vanillaware, i am literally weeping with joy. Thank you so much George, i will buy it on every platform.
@@carrionflowers6764 it might take a bit of it, but I definitely feel like the game is signaling ogre battle more than anything. The little checkered unit formation displays, the aggro visual representations, the way the town shoots fire works at the end of the mission. Heck even more out there stuff like the Lord protagonist having blue hair like Magnus and that they mention *something* named Zenobia. It's gonna be it's own thing obviously, there doesn't seem to be any traces of alignment for example, but it's definitely wearing it's inspiration on its sleeve. Or maybe it's just my immense love for Quest's games talking idk, but I am happy, this is a happy day.
13 Sentinels was something i picked up only from hearing vague things, it was INCREDIBLE so stoked to check out antoher vanillaware game in a genre i very much enjoy
@@ZsH85 13 Sentinel's combat was fun for what it was, way more than it looks from the outside, but it was definitely secondary to the story. Hopefully this game can do both.
I can see the spiritual connection to Ogre Battle now so easily and it warms my heart to see someone take a shot at something like that again. I’ve played a lot of games but Person of Lordly Caliber for the N64 is still my favorite RPG of all time no question. Can’t wait to try this on release.
Just this week I discovered Vanillaware with 13 sentinels and I can already tell this developer is going to be one of my favorites. I'll buy instantly on that alone.
I'm so in for this game! I love most Vanillaware games and strategy-rpgs is my favorite genre, so this is a perfect combination. Very much looking forward to it!
Honestly, this was the highlight of the Direct for me, and while that isn't a high bar (considering how cluttered with unimpressive remakes of already-good games it was), it's still the best announcement. Vanillaware hasn't disappointed me so far, and given how phenomenal 13 Sentinels was, I'm all for a medieval strategy game from those same people.
So excited to have another Vanillaware game. The food looks so scrumptious like always. I adore their backgrounds and character designs. I really hope this does well!
I honestly thought I was the only person who had this dream (or even remembered Ogre Battle 64, lol). I am SO EXCITED for this game, ridiculous name and all.
While I'm getting this game no questions asked (Vanillaware = TAKE MY MONEY NOW), I still hold-out hope for an HD English release of *Princess Crown* someday...
I played 13 sentinels recently and was blown away. I didn't believe visual novels could be so good. I'm excited to see vanillaware show what strategy rpg can really be.
I see lots of people talking about the art and the gameplay similarities to Ogre Battle, but the music??? Even just for a trailer the soundtrack is already incredible.
I've never heard of this Vanillaware that everybody else in the comments is going nuts over, but it's good to hear that there's more reason to have faith in this game than being blindly excited for a game that's so reminiscent of Ogre Battle after so many years of that franchise stagnating.
It's hard to tell exactly how the gameplay itself works in this, but that Vanillaware style is SO dang good. Their take on fantasy in Dragon's Crown was rad so I have no doubt this is going to be great
I started watching the trailer without knowing anything and I said: what a beautiful artistic section, it's what many games lack, for that reason alone it's worth taking a look, and at the end I read: Atlus-Vanillaware... that explains it all
@@Dracobyte I just recently played Tactics Ogre Reborn and I liked it, but this is the exact thing I kept thinking to myself. So glad we now at least have something coming out that finally captures that same gameplay style of OB64.
So, for anyone not old enough to remember, or just isn't in the know, this is basically the spiritual successor of 1993's Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen for SNES. There is a few games in the Ogre series, like Ogre Tactics being the most famous (I think), and such, but none of the later games were like the first game, which was a fantasy war simulation game with squads moving in real time, and then would go into something of an auto battler, where units would attack other units based on the priority you set (like strongest enemy unit, or which unit is the leader of the squad, weakest, etc.), and there was a really neat tarot card system that could be used in and out of battle for effects. One thing I hope this game has that I haven't seen yet from the original game, is neutral units that can be encountered and recruited, Ogre Battle had werewolves, dragons, various undead, demons, wyrms, pumpkin mages, scyllas, krakens, fairies, angels, all sorts of units you could find.
I just really hope this runs well on Switch. The fact it's coming to PS5 worries me, but then the 13 Sentinels switch port was really good, so there's hope.

Amen to that. I still wish for a Muramasa Rebirth re-release.

@@SquidJoe emulation is your friend
@@SquidJoe I’m in the same boat as you. Only one can hope they make a Switch Port of Muramasa Rebirth one day.

confirmed it to be a Vanillaware game as soon as I saw the food
The artstyle 3 seconds in was a dead giveaway

Vanillaware has nothing but bangers. 13 Sentinels, Dragon's Crown, Muramasa, Odin's Sphere, god dang they're truly elite.
and none of them are on pc, which is a huge shame

@@jackgarcia5926 The map outside battles made me think Dragon Force but then I forgot Ogre Battle 64 exists
Hyped! Ogre Battle along with Shining Force are two franchises I wish would get revived
13 Sentinels was something i picked up only from hearing vague things, it was INCREDIBLE
so stoked to check out antoher vanillaware game in a genre i very much enjoy
I was SOLD as soon as I saw Atlus + Vanillaware. AND it seems to be a little like Fire Emblem too?? Absolute "Must Buy" for me, can't wait
Battle system in 13 sentinels was fun, but this seems like a huge step up in immersion and complexity! Can't wait to get my hands on it
i think 13's battle wasnt that good its the story and art was the main force there.
this however looks perfect
Same here, using the little holographic blips on the map makes me wonder why made the art for the Sentinals and D-Forces in the first place.
I can't tell if the blue and red head are chicks or dudes?
@@ZsH85 13 Sentinel's combat was fun for what it was, way more than it looks from the outside, but it was definitely secondary to the story. Hopefully this game can do both.
In the design i liked the "news signal-weather report" feel to it but in the end it wasnt much and felt like a filler for the story@@Zeik56

@@FernandoGonzalez-gp7vz I've been waiting for a mobile OgreBattle for a long time. This will scratch the itch
It's beautiful! A true successor to Ogre Battle.
Exactly.
Good game ogre🎉@@kassfoss3210
Its name even sounds like an offshoot of Ogre Battle, which I wonder if that was on purpose.
So grateful to see another VanillaWare title. Can only hope more of their stuff finally reaches a bigger audience soon. 🙏
Odin Sphere on psplus soon😊😊😊
I hope it can be release in switch. I miss odin sphere so much
After absolutely loving both 13 Sentinels and Triangle Strategy, I'm extremely hyped for this.
We still need Odin Sphere, Muramasa, and Dragons Crown on Switch. VanillaWare games are always day one purchases for me.
Just this week I discovered Vanillaware with 13 sentinels and I can already tell this developer is going to be one of my favorites. I'll buy instantly on that alone.
Check out grim grimoire, muramasa the demon blade, odin sphere
Definitely get Odin’s Sphere. Fantastic game.
Odin Sphere is free soon on PS plus extra.
@@jairekambui7738agreed, the remaster is amazing.
And grim grimoir once more
This could turn out to be one of the all time greats
Best reveal of the direct, imo. Love Vanillaware games and their art style, and it's a tactical rpg. Take my money.
I'm so in for this game! I love most Vanillaware games and strategy-rpgs is my favorite genre, so this is a perfect combination. Very much looking forward to it!
Getting an Ogre Battle vibe from this and I love it.
Honestly that is what has me interested in this game.
@@hassam363 I feel the same. It reminds me of Ogre Battle 64 and I love it.

That’s not Billy Zane!
"Wait this looks like a Vanillaware game"

Me: *"Leonardo pointing meme"*
My dream of them making another game similar to Ogre Battle 64 is finally coming true. I'm so happy!
I honestly thought I was the only person who had this dream (or even remembered Ogre Battle 64, lol). I am SO EXCITED for this game, ridiculous name and all.
I loved Aegis Rim, so I’m excited for this game.
instant buy.
its vanillalware.
it looks gorgeous.
MAN I've been waiting for AGES for vanillaware to sho off their new game. Looks amazing
many wouldn't mind the previous ones remastered for Switch
I'm ready to preorder the collector edition, thank you
I'm a simple person, I see Vanillaware, I'm interested.
While I'm getting this game no questions asked (Vanillaware = TAKE MY MONEY NOW), I still hold-out hope for an HD English release of *Princess Crown* someday...
Intelligent Systems: "Sorry, no Fire Emblem this year."
Vanillaware: "Fine, I'll do it myself."
Just finished GrimGrimoire and LOVED IT! I was anxiously awaiting a new VanillaWare game on Switch and you MORE THAN DELIVERED!
Heavy ogre battle vibes!! Plus the drsgon's crown art style, feels so familiar
Damn, Vanillaware?
Must buy.

Joining the ranks of _Octopath Traveler_ and _Triangle Strategy._
Our Japanese friends sure have a thing for quirky "letter soup" titles.

Vanillaware my beloved.
Looks cool
For anyone who hasn’t tried the demo yet, it’s f*cking incredible
Wow I want to see more just because the sprites and art style looks so good.
This looks incredible! Vanillaware is a gem within the gaming industry.
looks very interesting, i keep my eyes open for this one
Looking like Vanillaware is gonna give us another banger. Looks soooo good.
I used to love Atlus and vanillaware games as a kid! This is nice!
I checked out 13 sentinels after seeing everyone's comments. Now onboard for this one too, thanks!
Muramasa Rebirth, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, and Dragon's Crown Pro next, please!
Bring Muramasa home to Nintendo!
All of Matsuno's games are being brought back in one way or another
I played 13 sentinels recently and was blown away. I didn't believe visual novels could be so good. I'm excited to see vanillaware show what strategy rpg can really be.
I love how the vanillaware logo is straight up a crest.
once they said vanillaware had their hands in it, im sold.
I see lots of people talking about the art and the gameplay similarities to Ogre Battle, but the music??? Even just for a trailer the soundtrack is already incredible.
Nah the music is crazy. I came to see if someone else noticed cuz I knew I wasn’t trippin lol

just from the first notes of the music i already know i'm gonna love this game! Can't wait for March!
It's hard to tell exactly how the gameplay itself works in this, but that Vanillaware style is SO dang good. Their take on fantasy in Dragon's Crown was rad so I have no doubt this is going to be great
Looks like it takes heavy inspiration from the Ogre Battle games. There's games on the SNES and N64, so I recommend you check them out.
Its my first time knowing of VANILLAWARE but judging by these comments and this amazing trailer, I may be a fan.
I started watching the trailer without knowing anything and I said: what a beautiful artistic section, it's what many games lack, for that reason alone it's worth taking a look, and at the end I read: Atlus-Vanillaware... that explains it all

YAAASS VANILLAWARE! They're back, baby.
The artwork is beautiful
Production took TEN YEARS?! Thats crazy dude
I was already intrigued, but I was sold on Vanillaware
Vanillaware’s artstyle is just so unmatched.
Truly. NO ONE in the industry makes games as gorgeous as theirs.
as an artist and game dev myself can second this hard ! @@michaelwaring1028
This looks great, like Dragon's Crown meets Ogre Battle!

Still blasting Muramasa till this day. What a charm of a game!
Totally preordered the collectors edition from Amazon last night!
MUST HAVE NOW!
A new Vanillaware game? I have to get it!
Sammy really hit gold with their acquisition of Atlus.
Vanillaware? Oh, this is gonna be good!
I downloaded the demo yesterday and I'm hooked! 😂😂😂
Omfg. This is pretty much my absolute dream game. BRING IT ON
This game is giving me Ogre Battle 64 vibes and I'm here for it
I wishbthey could remaster or remake OB 64, something similar to what hapoened with Tactics Ogre Reborn.

Ogre Battle spiritual successor by the studio I love most, nice!
Oh Vanillaware strategy game? Oh it's my new favorite video game of all time? Okay I guess.
Absolutely gorgeous
I'm a sucker for games with this kind of artstyle.
Vanillaware needs to commission more ports of their games.
I KNEW this looked like Grand Knights History. I can't believe it's making a comeback in some form or another!
MANNNNNN!! THIS REALLY FEELS LIKE GRAND KNIGHTS HISTORY ALL OVER AGAIN I LOVE IT!
Looks great! Will be my 1st Nintendo Switch game! Wish me luck!
Congrats on the new Switch!🎉
These are the dudes behind Dragon's Crown.. they are pretty epic and well known in these parts
We need Vanillawares entire lineup available on switch
This game looks fantastic, I'll have to check out 13 Sentinels in the mean time!
For those of us who played it, it was *easy* game of the year contender.
Yes, you do. I bought it on a whim because it was on sale on the switch and it blew me away
I’m so happy things are still coming to America!
