Atelier Sophie’s Full Teaser Trailer Gives us a Glimpse at the World

-

July 1, 2015

Back when Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book was first announced Gust and Koei Tecmo only had a brief bit of story and a small teaser trailer to show off to fans. That changed a bit today when the company released the full trailer, though not too much.

In the trailer, found below, we see Sophie visit various areas in the game as she walks around town and fields at different times of day. Also shown is some footage of Prachta, is a mysterious book that can talk and move on its own that the amnesiac Sophie finds in her grandmother’s atelier. After a certain event allows her to take on the form of a human she serves as a teacher to Sophie, the only problem is she has very little knowledge about the world outside of alchemy.

Currently Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book is set to be released in Japan on September 25th for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Graphic Novel Review

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Graphic Novel
Author: Shotaro Ishinomori
Artist: Shotaro Ishinomori
Publisher: Viz Media / Madman Entertainment
Release Date: June 10, 2015
Price: $19.99 USD Available Here / $29.95 AUD – Available Here

Overview

The Legend of Zelda is one of the most famous video game franchises of all time. Nintendo has been producing games in the series for almost three decades now. Even though they share many of the same gameplay elements and arrangements of much of the same music, each new entry features something that makes that game unique and stand out from the rest.

Video games and graphic novels are obviously two different mediums. On the one hand, an adaptation of a Legend of Zelda game in comic-book format could be quite interesting because it might expand on the plot of a game and add some emotional depth to it. On the other hand, such an adaptation could take away some of the uniqueness and fun that The Legend of Zelda games have. Which hand is holding Shotaro Ishinomori’s adaptation of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past?

Story

Link is sleeping in his bed when he is awoken by a voice calling out to him. This voice, belonging to Princess Zelda, has already called Link’s uncle for help, but now, both Zelda and Link’s uncle are in mortal danger. Listening to the voice, Link puts on his iconic green tunic and Phrygian cap and follows Zelda’s voice to the castle, where the evil wizard Agahnim is posing as the king. Link discovers a room in which his uncle is fighting against Agahnim. Defeated, Link’s nameless uncle bequeaths his sword and shield to Link. Zelda telepathically informs Link that Agahnim plans to use the life force of seven maidens to open the seven wise men’s seal. Link then finds Zelda and rescues her from two soldiers, and together they escape from the castle. They then make their way to the Sanctuary. Here it is revealed that Link is actually the legendary hero who only appears in Hyrule once every one hundred years. Link is told that he must now find the Master Sword, the only sword that can defeat Agahnim.

Link learns that he must find Sahasrahla the Elder, a descendant of the seven wise men, in order to discover the location of the Master Sword. At Sahasrahla’s house, Link meets Sahasrahla’s nameless wife, who informs him that the Master Sword is located deep within the Lost Woods. Link makes his way to the Eastern Palace, where Sahasrahla tells Link that he must obtain the legendary Pendants of Virtue in order to be able to retrieve the Master Sword. He gives Link the Pendant of Courage, and afterwards, Link sets off to find the other two Pendants. Along his journey, he obtains more useful and important objects that help him on his adventure. Meanwhile, Agahnim is preparing to cast his final incantation on Zelda when Ganon appears.

This adaptation does not appear to be entirely faithful to the original story, but it is interesting. It fundamentally cannot provide the same experience that actually playing the game it is based on can, but it is a pleasant change to be able to finish a story from The Legend of Zelda series in less than a couple of hours instead of 30. It may alternatively seem unfair to some readers that Link can accomplish a task in just a few frames of a comic when that task would take players multiple hours to complete in the game. Without the somewhat immersive experience that the games offer, it is harder to have the suspension of disbelief that is necessary to enjoy the games. Nonetheless, the new elements that are introduced in this adaptation add a new level of depth to the story. The conclusion, albeit not exactly original, ends the story on a relatively high note.

Artwork

The full-colour presentation of the graphic novel is great, but Shotaro Ishinomori’s artwork itself is a mixed-bag. The backgrounds are well-detailed, and in particular, the various locations in both Hyrule and the Dark World are very well-drawn, making the designs featured in the graphic novel look better than the designs featured in A Link Between Worlds, the 3DS successor to A Link to the Past. The design of the monsters are faithful to the designs from the original game, but it is with the design of the main characters that the quality of Ishinomori’s drawings decreases significantly. Link’s character designs in the games have always been basic, but this factor has never detracted from the quality of any of the games. In this case, however, the drawings of Link are inconsistent and frequently reminiscent of an unusually dopey teenager going through puberty.

At the beginning of the story, Link has the appearance of an eight-year-old child. As the story progresses, Link appears more and more dopey. He ages rather quickly and is noticeably taller by the end of the story. This Link seems like an audience-insert character aimed solely at a North American audience from the 1990s, especially based on the way he talks. However, at least he talks with actual words instead of just making noises when he swings his sword or gets hurt. Princess Zelda’s design is more detailed than Link’s, although that unfortunately is not saying much. She has a more plain appearance here than in the games, and it is quite rare but certainly very nice to see her not wearing any makeup. The anatomy of her face is inconsistent; her eyes keep changing shape and size and her irises keep moving from where they should be, which can be quite distracting along with all of the other design flaws.

Aside from the detailed background art and the drawings of items such as the Master Sword, which looks impressive, where Ishinomori succeeds is in drawing the enemies and the people of the Dark World. Ganon does not look as evil as he does in other games, even if his appearance is interpreted symbolically. However, the monstrous appearances of the Dark World’s inhabitants are effective at evoking a sense of the negative emotions, such as greed, that exist within their hearts. As for the presentation of the graphic novel, some of the text at the beginning of certain chapters is set directly against the artwork and as a result is difficult to read due to the clashing colours. Otherwise, there are no major issues with Viz’s reprint.

Overall

This graphic novel will appeal mainly to people with nostalgia for A Link to the Past. The experience of reading the graphic novel instead of playing the original game or the Game Boy Advance port has both positive and negative elements that individual readers may weigh up differently, so both of the hands mentioned at the beginning are holding a copy of the same graphic novel. The extremely short length of this adaptation makes it difficult to become immersed in the world and the story as one might with any of the games, and the outdated dialogue belongs in the ’90s. This book can be read in a fraction of the time that it takes to finish the game, further diminishing any chance of truly engaging with the story. There is no need to spend large amounts of time traversing Death Mountain or any of the other various locations in the game, but that is the only benefit. The graphic novel does not allow the opportunity to discover a key item for oneself or the ability to defeat a boss with one’s gaming skills. If you played the game when you were younger and are looking for a quick nostalgia-fix, this graphic novel might be the thing for you. After reading it, you may want to go find your copy of the original game or the Game Boy Advance port, or perhaps purchase a copy of the game if it is not in your collection.

If you happen to be a fan of visual novels then you likely have seen that over the past year and a half we have seen quite a lot of progress when it comes to bringing some of the hottest Japanese visual novels to English speaking audiences, something that most people never thought would happen. Now another long running series is going to make an attempt at reaching the English speaking world courtesy of Degica and IXTL.

The companies have announced that they are planning on launching a Kickstarter campaign in either August or September to try and localize the Muv-Luv visual novel series. This includes the PC release of the first two titles in the series, Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative.

Degica will be formally announcing the Kickstarter at a press conference event that will be held at Anime Expo in Los Angeles on July 3, between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m., at LACC 303A. Until then, you can check out the company’s official Muv-Luv website here.

Muv-Luv‘s Two Story Arcs

Muv-Luv Extra – Shirogane Takeru was living a peaceful life as a 3rd year high school student, with his childhood friend Kagami Sumika. However, one morning Takeru awakens to see a mysterious girl named Mitsurugi Meiya sleeping in his bed. Thus begins the start of a high school love comedy where Takeru will have to choose between his childhood friend and the girl insisting they are bonded by fate.
Muv-Luv Unlimited – Shirogane Takeru finds himself stuck in a parallel world where mankind is on the brink of destruction after battling against alien invaders known as BETA for the last 20 years. Takeru soon finds himself enrolled into the United Nation force to fight these aliens and finds the parallel versions of all of his high school friends, with the exception of Kagami Sumika, who does not seem to exist. Soon he will have to fight to save mankind, and protect the girl he comes to love over the course of the story.

Muv-Luv Alternative

Three years after witnessing the tragic exodus of mankind, Takeru wakes up believing that everything that had happened was just a dream. The brief hope that he has at last come back to his world is dashed away as soon as he discovers that he is once more trapped in the parallel world of Unlimited. Restarting on that fateful day he first came here, will Takeru manage to use his knowledge of previous events to change mankind’s tragic future?

The Seventh Nation, China, Rises to Power!

1 July, 2015 — Wargaming today announced the addition of a brand-new nation to World of Tanks on Xbox 360: China. A true tank dynasty, the Chinese Tech Tree is the seventh full nation to be added to World of Tanks on Xbox 360 and will include twenty of the country’s most formidable armored vehicles.

Featuring new light, medium and heavy tanks, players will be able to climb into the hatches of some of the most recognizable Chinese tanks to ever grace the battlefield, including the nimble Chi-Ha light tank, well-rounded Type T-34 medium tank, and the devastatingly powerful IS-2 heavy tank. Also joining the fight are three new Premium tanks, including the T-34-3 medium Tier 8, the 112 heavy Tier 8 and the Type 64 light Tier 6 all featuring increased XP earning power on the battlefield.

“From the start we’ve been committed to growing World of Tanks on Xbox with regular content updates and we’re excited to offer players a whole new nation in China,” said TJ Wagner, Executive Producer at Wargaming Chicago-Baltimore. “With some truly brutal and efficient armored vehicles, the Chinese line represents some of the most formidable armor to ever come from Asia and we’re looking forward to our players finally getting their hands on them. And remember, all content and progression will carry over to the Xbox One version of the game when it releases on July 28th through cross-play.”

In addition to the arrival of the Chinese line, the month of July is “Freedom to Play Month”, complete with special in-game offers, experience multipliers and two brand-new and rare tanks—Freedom and Liberté.

DIABLO^®’S ETERNAL CONFLICT RAGES ON IN HEROES OF THE STORM™

The Eternal Conflict is an extended multiweek event that brings epic new Heroes, Battlegrounds, and more to Blizzard’s free-to-play team brawler

The Butcher and other legendary characters from Diablo^® III enter the Nexus to continue the war over the High Heavens and the Burning Hells

SYDNEY, Australia—July 1, 2015—Since the Nexus portal opened on June 3, millions of players around the world have stormed the battlegrounds as powerful heroes of light, menacing agents of darkness, egg-laying baby amphibians, and stage-diving tauren. Now, Heroes of the Storm^™ invites players to take sides in a war that has been waged between demons and angels since time immemorial—the Eternal Conflict!

The Eternal Conflict is an epic, multiweek in-game event that expands Heroes of the Storm into a whole new realm. In addition to bolstering the game’s playable roster of Heroes with three new characters from the Diablo^® universe, the war between immortals heralds a variety of Diablo-themed character skins and mounts and opens the gates to two thrilling new Battlegrounds, starting with the Battlefield of Eternity. During the event, players should also be on the lookout for those infamous battlefield scavengers, the Treasure Goblins. Heroes who manage to track down these thieving creatures and eliminate them before a match will receive an in-game gold reward for their efforts.

“We’re excited to bring the world of Diablo deeper into the Nexus and introduce our first Battleground based on an existing universe,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Players are in for a hellishly good time with the Butcher and other Heroes on the Battlefield of Eternity, and we can’t wait to add more Diablo-themed content to Heroes of the Storm as the Eternal Conflict wages on.”

Conquer the Battlefield of Eternity

Taking place at the shifting borderland between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells, the Battlefield of Eternity is the first Heroes of the Storm Battleground located within one of Blizzard’s established universes. As agents of supreme forces fighting for the fate of all creation, heroes will need to defend their core and attack the enemy while supporting their mighty Immortal, a massive angel—or demon—duking it out against their counterpart in the centre of the map. Available in-game starting today, this Battleground features unique themed mercenaries such as Fallen shaman and Khazra impalers with Battleground-specific powers.

Master a Host of New Heroes

The forces of light and darkness will stop at nothing to emerge victorious, so they’re sending their most capable heroes into the Nexus. Johanna, the heavily armored Crusader, has established herself as one of the Nexus’s most stalwart Warriors, but today she faces a familiar foe—a bloodthirsty demon known as The Butcher. Despite his formidable bulk, the Butcher is a damage-dealing melee Assassin who gains strength by gathering “fresh meat” from the remains of his fallen enemies. The Butcher’s Brand ability debuffs enemies so that he gains life with each attack, and he can also bring Lambs to the Slaughter, chaining his hapless victims to a post for the four longest seconds of their puny lives.

Leoric, the Mad King of Khanduras—best known to Diablo players as the Skeleton King—will be the next Warrior to enter the Nexus in the weeks ahead. Notoriously bad at staying dead, whenever Leoric is put down he will rise as a wraith to continue haunting his enemies. In this ghostly form, his attacks slow his enemies and accelerate his return to the mortal realm—until he eventually reforms at the location of his wraith.

Leoric will eventually have to face the next nephalem to heed the Nexus’s call—the Monk. The Monk is a mobile, versatile melee Support hero who can heal allies and choose between two hero-defining Traits to fulfill the needs of his team. Stay tuned to www.heroesofthestorm.com for more details on the Monk and other aspects of the Eternal Conflict in the weeks ahead.

What in the Burning Hells Is Heroes of the Storm?

Heroes of the Storm is a free-to-play online team brawler that brings together a diverse cast of iconic characters from Blizzard’s far-flung realms of science fiction and fantasy, including the Warcraft^®, StarCraft^®, and Diablo universes, and challenges them to compete in epic, adrenaline-charged battles. Players can choose from dozens of Blizzard heroes and customise them to suit their play style, and then team up with friends to fight across eight dynamic Battlegrounds—with more heroes and Battlegrounds on the way. The game features a variety of gameplay modes for players of every skill level, including a Versus A.I. mode, in which players face computer-controlled opponents, and highly competitive draft-style ranked play.

Heroes of the Storm is available for Windows^® and Mac^® PC and has received a Mature rating from the Australian Classification Board. Visit www.heroesofthestorm.com to learn more, download the game free, and jump into battle!
