Anyone Want To Publish Record of Agarest War Zero?

Anyone Want To Publish Record of Agarest War Zero? At GDC, Record of Agarest War Zero (aka Agarest Senki Zero) is one of the products Compile Heart is showing to publishers, which they hope will be picked up for international distribution.

 

Record of Agarest War got licensed so there must be at least some chance for Record of Agarest War Zero, a prequel to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game. As we said earlier, Aksys is listed as one of the potential buyers.

 

However, Record of Agarest War isn’t even out yet, might be too early for them to purchase the publishing rights for the sequel.

    …because they knew no one would bite? :'(

    Thank you for inadvertently reminding me of that game, btw. New copies are only about 1000 yen from Amazon.jp now…wish I knew a cheap proxy buyer :(

    With how great Record of Agarest War/Agarest: Generations of War is I´d love to have this title in my collection as well.

    So I hope that someone picks it up. I also hope that there will be no differences between the EU and US versions if they do decide to pick it up.

    Im not going to say that someone should not pick it up as clearly there is an interest in this series, but much like the original Im going to pass. I already have Star Ocean Int, White Knight, and Resonance of Fate (or will) that I have not even started, and Final Fantasy XIII to play through before starting any of them, so Im good with RPG's for a while. Still its this series subject matter that keeps me at bay, and I just can't bring my self to play these types of games. By “these types” I mean borderline Eroge/Hentai games.

  • Ereek

    NISA probably passed on it already. NISA (at least they used to) gets first dibs on IF games. Just look at that NISA article from last week.

  • Artavasdus

    Don't be deceived by Aksys' sly marketing, Agarest is not nearly as eroge as those trailers would have it to be (in fact I think many of the buyers of the USA version are in for a big disappointment if they hope to have an all-naughty experience :P).

    It is a failry complex game with a long plot who takes itself rather seriously, many story branches and a good tactical combat system. Fanservice and innuendo are in there, certainly, but they are only one part of the game, and by far not the most important.

    Ironically if it weren't for its “naughty” bits the series will probably have been lost to the western audience like many other low budget jrpgs.

    We have more “surprises” especially about Compile Heart, but those will have to come another day. :)

  • Ereek

    Actually, I think I can guess what it is this time.

    That's a good thing.

    Why leave for tomorrow what you can do today??! WHY!?!??!?

    And NISA must be pretty busy with atelier rorona and ar tonelico 3, specially with ar tonelico 3 since they have to make up for AT 2 not so good localizing

  • Ereek

    Actually, I think we're going to be waiting a while for AT3. There's another game that came out about 6 months ago that I'd say with close to certainty we're getting before that.

    I would feel bad for spoiling the surprise, though.

  • john411

    But thankfully at least for it, the hype for the game is better.

  • john411

    So what else was Compile Heart shopping at GDC??

  • http://thrust-the-sky.deviantart.com/ WildArms

    Everyone is hiding secrets! Who can i trust!? AHHHhhhh!

  • malek86

    Your words are as empty as your post!

    Oh, fine, I'll wait.

    A Symphony of the Night homage in this day and age?! *likes*

  • http://www.nisamerica.com NickyD

    About six months ago… hmm… we'll have to leave it up to the universe to show us what that could be.

    …I find myself unclever.

  • Ereek

    Much love, Nick.

    Though, wasn't that a bit blunt? Don't get in trouble for our sakes.

  • 311

    I'd say either Atlus or NISA or Aksys

  • http://thrust-the-sky.deviantart.com/ WildArms

    Wait…………..WAIT…. *thinks* uhhh!! OHH i think the universe is showing it to me… but i dont think i should say it here just in case, maybe im wrong…. and i wouldnt like to kill the surprise to other ppl if its that and i wouldnt want you guys to get in trouble…. heheh im gonna go dance of happiness somewhere else… maybe ill go play Zelda and belive in the power of the TRIforce that will be with us for all eterNITY….

  • http://www.nisamerica.com NickyD

    Blunt? I have no idea what you're talking about. I was making an Arrested Development joke… >_>

    Maybe a few weeks will pass and the stars will align for some reason.

  • Artavasdus

    Yeah, their marketing sure has gathered much more attention on Agarest than any “Hey, we have a 70-hours tactical jrpg with a generation system, branching plot choices and an interesting gameplay (also some fanservice)!” strategy :P

    That said I wasn't attacking Aksys for their way to market niche games (they are playing the “eroge” card even for Mimana, even if in a less blatant way XD), but simply pointing out that the game is far from what an eroge fan would expect.

  • lordgeo

    I'm interested in this as well, if stuff like this can be revealed at will. Chances are the guys at Siliconera will reveal their “surprises” when they're ready.
