Vergil Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Bandai Namco has announced Record of Grancrest War for PlayStation 4. The tactical RPG will launch physically and digitally on June 14 in Japan for 8,200 yen. An 11,100 yen first-print limited edition including a copy of the game, special box, special content Blu-ray disc, soundtrack CD, and special booklet will also be available. Here is an overview of the game’s story: Atlatan, a continent where Chaos dominates everything. Frightened by the disasters caused by the Chaos, the people live under the protection of “Lords” who possess “Crests,” the power to suppress those calamities. However, the Lords eventually abandon the idea of “protection of the people,” and break into a war to fight for each other’s Crests and territory—. During that, a solitary mage named Siluca, who despises Lords without ideals, meets Theo, a a wandering knight on a training journey in order to free his hometown from tyrannical rule. Through the high-handed tactics of Siluca, who is touched by Theo’s ideals, they sign a master and servant contract and aim to bring change to a continent thrown into war. Confirmed playable characters include Theo Cornaro, Siluca Meletes, Irvin, Aishera, and Priscill Read more at https://gematsu.com/2018/03/record-grancrest-war-announced-ps4#7OOPFc7220pHWk1m.99 Edited March 5, 2018 by DPatriot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Record of Grancrest War sounds an awful lot like Record of Agarest War. Zero was the worst "tactical" game I've ever played. If it's the same people, I'll pass. If not, why try to bring up those bad memories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grancrest is a light novel/tabletop turned manga currently being adapted into anime and finally crossing into videogames. And it's not like there weren't titles using "Records of X War" way before Agarest. Lodoss says hello. Edited March 5, 2018 by NetEntity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or "A History of the Grancrest War"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Record of Lodoss War used to be HUGE and very influential, so the name choice could be deliberate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name does ring a bell, and I don't watch much anime at all, so it must have been a big deal. Oh well - I do like tactics games, so I might pick it up if it's not associated with Agarest.

Dragon-Archon Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I've been watching the anime and thought it would make a good musou game. The graphics from the game seem lacking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hm... PS4-only so the price is quite steep... Guess that's how it's going to be from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a lot of time in the Dreamcast game. I never watched the anime or read the manga, but I wanted a Diablo clone on my fancy system. I still love the Dreamcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
