New Estpolis Trailer Leaps Into Action

By Spencer . February 4, 2010 . 6:50pm

Square Enix released a new video of Estpolis, a remake or better put re-imagining of Lufia II as an action RPG. But, Estpolis isn’t just about fighting and dual screen boss battles. The game is loaded with interactive map elements like block puzzles, switches, and platforms to play with.

 

 

Estpolis uses a real time battle system where you can only control character. Want to switch? Touch  Maxim, Selena, Tia, Guy, Hydekar, or Artea’s portrait on the bottom screen. Each character has their own wave art attack and combo chain.

 

Looks like Ys: The Oath in Felghana from Nihon Falcom has a competitor for the title of the most action packed action RPG on handhelds in 2010. Estpolis comes out at the end of this month on February 25.

    “Map Gimmick” eh?

    Also, is that a First Person tank battle at 1:17? Wow.

    I remain cautiously optimistic.

    What remains most vivid in my memory about this game is the plot twist. I'm talking about the romance aspect, of course!

    I remember dungeon puzzles being addictive so I'll probably grab a copy when I stop by Japan :D

    Oh, my… what've they done to sweet little Tia…?

    As a game, it doesn't seem bad. As Lufia… I… I don't know…

    I think cautious optimism is the best thing for me, too.

    rar, I think the comment system ate my comment, but then again it might be my colorful language, even if it was positive >w<'' Any ways I worry about the character switching, I can't help but feel like I'd under use/level characters. Also I'm really hoping the puzzles can do Lufia 2 justice, it's got some of the most memorable puzzles I can remember, and I don't know too many games that can even touch when it comes to puzzles. rar, cautiously optimistic is the perfect way to put it. Also Dekar's hair needs moar purple!

    If there's another Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for DS/Wii it should be developed by the same team doing this game, since it basically looks like FFCC minus the FF, only done better.
