Here's something on the wacky, yet nuanced side of things upcoming on Nintendo's Wii console and to a slightly lesser degree the PS2. The franchise has apparently been kicking around for years in Japan now...with only a GBA Roguelike'ish game making it to the states thus far. Good old Atlus saw fit to change that at last now though.
What I'm digging, is the feel of tabletop mixed with Roguelike mixed with a tad of Sim management. This seems like it can make for a nifty mental exercise in terms of play versus the AI, plenty of quests to solve and ways to approach different problems, and some hilarious potential for team tactics or backstabbing in live multiplayer with some friends and/or family. Lighthearted fun mixed with long lasting RPG depth to flavor the strategems.
I'm starting to feel a pattern here with me making topics for this stuff to come while everybody else reminisces on classic games from way on back.
