So as of the 27th of October (yeah, last week) Fly Systems has transferred development works for Magical Battle Arena to a new circle called Ryouiki Zero. Whether this new circle is a direct subsidiary to Fly-Systems, a totally different group, or Fly-Systems themselves disguised under another name is not known. It sure does seem to have close affiliations to Souwer Cherry and Pandadanpa though; both are close partners with Fly-Systems. In that light, guess says Ryouiki Zero at the very least aren’t strangers to Fly-Systems.
Along with the transfer, news for the next major release of Magical Battle Arena were also spilled, named Magical Battle Arena Complete Form. This one sounds more like a bundled release of Magical Battle Arena with Lyrical Pack along with all the patches and the 5 extra download characters included rather than being a major expansion release, but alas it wasn’t without any updates at all. It is revealed that Complete Form will include one new character; StrikerS Fate. Aside from that, it also includes several new moves for the returning characters and uses a new network system for its multiplayer mode. No further words about whether the character list is finalized or would there be more new characters to expect other then the non-loli Fate.
Here are some images of the grown Fate T. Harlaown in MBA Complete Form.
Magical Battle Arena Complete Form is scheduled for this coming Winter Comiket in December.
Finally completed this one after leaving it for a week or two. So I thought I might as well just give my overall impression of the game while I’m at it.
Been playing this quite a lot since yesterday. Also, I may finish Red Alert 3, Megido and Ninja Gaiden within the week… probably.
Other than that, I also tried the PSP port of Fate/Unlimited Codes today. On a superficial level, I don’t see any difference other than the graphics. There are probably some character balancing tweaks or something else further up ahead into the game but I don’t know, never really did read too deep about it before anyway.
And again unlike what was originally planned, I got my hands into Megido instead of finishing Ninja Gaiden first, haha. Been playing it a lot since after the entry from last night. Ah~ RPG~~
And as for the rest of the empty space in this entry, here’s a youtube video of the opening to fill them up.
During the time I was making the post that night when I have just reformatted my computer, I noticed that I have no image manipulation program on the computer to resize that XP-tan picture with. So while I was digging through my stacks and stacks of severely disorganized DVDs looking for my Photoshop disk, I came across several games that I had wanted to play really badly a looooong time ago but never could because my hard disk was almost always filled. So I installed them the next day, better do so before my hard disk gets filled up again, lol. They are Kimi ga Yobu, Megido no Oka de and Thirua Panic, and the reason why I did not make an entry for the past few days was because I was playing Tirua Panic all the way till 5am. haha… Damn all these eroges are engrossing once you start them… >__> A little break from the hell that is Ninja Gaiden is nice, yes~ I have made no progress at it at all since the last time. From the gist of it, I think I’m about reaching the end of Thirua Panic pretty soon too. Once I’m done with that then I’ll get back to Ninja Gaiden, then I’ll move on to Megido.
And here’s Shangri-La’s opening. Yay for Range Murata~
And ever since Macross Frontier, I can never unassociate May’n from Sheryl Nome… not even in the opening song here.
