Like last year, I will be participating along with the Sanctuary Crew for ExtraLife this year.

As a result, I'm going to be posting my 'donate' banner on the sidebar once again. This will link over to the EL landing page for the Crew, so that you can find out more information on us and our goals.

Hope to see you guys on Oct 16th! :D

Uh... You know that Ys Seven game?

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:10:34 +0000

I'm sure you all noticed Ys Seven came out recently.

I not only noticed, but I was absent from last week's update because of it. I promise I'll get better. For now, I've got things to provide in hopes of an apology for missing out.

JDK Band Concert
Yes, I noticed the link was down, because Falcom removed the archive from Ustream.

For now, the Sanctuary Crew has come to save the day. While the VideoOnDemand viewer isn't configured to match the format of the rest of the site, they do have the full concert posted here.

Zero no Kiseki Flyer
Falcom's giving out pamphlet flyers to anyone who preorders Zero no Kiseki in stores in Japan. I just got my hands on scans of the thing.

Esterior Updates
I'm finally catching up on updating the release calendar. Sorry for taking so long. I've also become a bit enamored with the wordpress system on Eidenyaku. So I might end up doing a conversion to wordpress here as well. I've yet to decide. I'll keep people posted. (har har pun intended)

Zero no Kiseki Website Updated

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 09:40:23 +0000

Now that I'm done with the issues of my past two semesters, let's get an actual update! Yay! The first in how long? Well, let's not make that a habit any longer, shall we? My Japanese is a bit rusty, so if there's anythng wrong with my translations, please let me know. :)

Zero no Kiseki Website Updated

Character Updates

Lazy Hemisphere. Don't mistake that 'L' as a real L. It's actually an "l with stroke" - which turns it, in Polish, to a 'w' sound.
17 years old.
An impressive boy with a gender neutral face, cool attitude, and a mysterious, sarcastic wit. He is the leader of the intelligence focused gang known as the Testaments. Somehow, his charisma has led the other members into revering him as a leader. His pride in combat is through hand-to-hand combat and quick footwork.

Wald Wales
20 years old.
The great leader of the fighters gang known as the Saber Vipers. With his powerful, and brutal strength, he is accompanied by a large number of gang members. While he is hot blooded and cruel, he is surprisingly protective and truly cares for those who follow him. He uses a wooden sword strengthened by chains coiled around it, and is said to be able to tear apart iron doors with a single strike.

World

Downtown
This once beautiful section of the city has fallen to decline as it was left behind by Crossbell's urban development. Throughout its market, one can easily find shops of illegal goods, and it is constantly the stage of conflicts between two rivals gangs.

System
Arts
Arts is the general term used for any magic generated through the use of orbments, and within combat, they are put into use in exchange for EP (Energy Points). Each character possesses the "Enigma" Tactical Grade Orbment and a set of quartz. Through the use of quartz, it's possible to strengthen the characters, and certain combinations allow for specific sets of spells.

This game will feature a large number of new arts, both offensive and supporting. Different arts can change the advantage in combat in different ways.

Chrono Dive
Time Element Support Art
All allies within the area of effect will have their speed accellerated for a specific amount of time.

Avalon Gate
Illusion Element Attack Art
A gate in the heavens opens and the light of judgement rains down on all enemies.

Special
Special Section contains an interview with the voice actress cast to play KeA.

Yahoo! Games Ranking
Ys vs Sora no Kiseki has taken the #1 slot on the player satisfaction rankings on Yahoo! Japan.
Sora no Kiseki FC follows it up with position #2.

Sweet. :D

Release Dates for NA Ys games on Amazon

Ys Oath in Felghana and Ys I&II Chronicles are both posted on Amazon.com for $29.99. These do not hint at a limited edition set, but we probably won't know for sure until it gets closer to those dates.

I've updated the release dates on the right. Oath in Felghana has 11/2 and Chronicles has 1/18. If these change, I'll make mention of it and change the dates on the site, as well.
