Re: The Official FANTASY EARTH Thread!

I'm not sure what to expect by looking at the trailer and graphics. It looks PvP based, with areas for you to build your own towns and settlements, but I'm not too sure.

"Square Enix has released some new information on its upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Fantasy Earth: The Ring of Dominion. In a statement issued yesterday, the game developer said that part of Fantasy Earth would be set in a northwestern continent called Pictorion--aka the "Land of the Witches"--in the kingdom of Netsawal.

Fantasy Earth features six different continents, each one containing 15 potential battlefields. Overworld maps are color-coded to show which nations are in control. Players can initiate battles by challenging an opposing nation, building a keep, and then declaring war. Players can also come and go from battle as they like.

There are several kinds of keeps, including obelisk, watch tower, dragon altar, Hades' gate, and vokluftshoppe. Some keeps function as watchtowers or beast-summoning tools, while others let players amass land. Square Enix has also revealed two types of characters. Sorcerers specialize in attack magic, while shadow-walkers are warriors that specialize in stealth and backstabbing.

Fantasy Earth's backstory is marked by tensions between the barbarian tribes that live in Netsawal. A new king, Hyunkel, attempted to unite the land, but he and his family were forced into exile after a revolution. When he tried to regain his throne, one of the region's witches turned him into an unsightly beast. His daughter's love finally restored him, and he was able to bring peace to the land after taking the crown a third time."

Also this is PC only game.

Re: The Official FANTASY EARTH Thread!

I have one problem with the game. They are sticking the faces of 8 year olds on the bodies of 21 year old supermodels... its really really disturbing.

Or as someone from another forum I visit put it
"I won't play a game where I'm a character with an 8 year old girl face, body of a 21 year old woman, and clothing from the local kinky strip club."

Now here is the screenshot in question

Re: The Official FANTASY EARTH Thread!

rofl!! Call me jaded, but I'm use to that from all the anime I've watched. It could just be that this "style" isn't as disturbing in japan?

It took this thread to point out this issue to me. But, I don't have much interest in this game anyway....

Re: The Official FANTASY EARTH Thread!

Considering that it is part of POL, there is a likely chance of US localization, the problem is that with the PS2 doomed...they're going to have to think if it's worth it with a crippled return bascially...may not bother with US as more development cost on an already shrinking ps2.

If it's ported to PS3, with a revamped POL portal, then it's in S-E's interest to spread it as wide as possible.

Bascially S-E has great plans for POL. Anything that makes people log onto POL, is like free advertising, for all future releases.

They may sink money in FE even if it's not expect to profit simply to increase POL subscribership.

Re: The Official FANTASY EARTH Thread!

Fantasy Earth is a PC-only MMO, so there's no problem of lack of Sony's PS2 support.

Re: The Official FANTASY EARTH Thread!

so is there going to be a beta for Fantasy Earth like they did with FFXI. This games is interesting how its going to be played as a mmorpg with its different approach for battle..

Re: The Official FANTASY EARTH Thread!

Is this game coming out in English? And if it is do you guys think it'll be before or after FMO (Front Mission Online)? I wonder what the PvP will be like, hope fully Square will do so in a way that the players themselves can deal with "gil-sellers". As long as it's nothing stupid like Lineage 2 and something like WoW I wanna play =D
