Famitsu news special - Infinite Space, 7th Dragon & more
Platinum Games’ please-let-it-be-amazing operatic space RPG is featured in this week’s Famitsu, with screens showing off its anime-inspired characters, and a few shots from what appear to be story cutscenes.
The game reportedly focuses on ship combat - you won’t be fighting individual enemies, but instead captaining battleships in the depths of space. I’m sure this would seem a little strange if there are too many skirmishes, so I’m hoping for a low encounter rate and lengthier, more tactical scraps. Though it seems you’ll be controlling more than one craft - modules can be collected to upgrade your fleet, while crew members can be recruited, whose skills and abilities affect the stats of your ships.
Elsewhere in Famitsu, there’s news on another forthcoming role-player from Sega, 7th Dragon. Its mechanics seem very similar to Etrian Odyssey save for the lack of cartography, and the loss of the first-person perspective. But there are seven different classes, each with four different looks, skill trees for each class, and four characters per party. There’s just one main objective - kill all the dragons. Knowing Etrian Odyssey, this will be far more difficult than it sounds.
