Radiant Historia [DS]

[Guts]

I did a search for this game, but oddly didn't find anything on it.

Anybody interested in/heard about this title? It's an Atlus RPG for the DS where time travel is a central part of the story. You'll make choices during the game which are supposed to change the different time lines and later you can even revisit earlier events and change them to see different outcomes. This sounds like a really interesting concept for a JRPG, seeing as they're more often than not really linear and straightforward games with almost no possibility to change the plot. It also looks pretty good, at least to me. As a big Chrono Trigger fan I'm really interested in seeing how this game turns out.

It's coming out in the U.S. on February 22nd with no news of Euro version.

Yeah, looks brilliant this. If it wasn't coming out the same time as Tactics Ogre I'd be all over it, some terrible scheduling from Atlus

I have it on pre-order, it sounds like it will be pretty good. Like toythatkills says though its a shame its out so close to Tactics Ogre, which sounds fantastic, not sure when i'll get to play it.

Been looking forward to this for a while and also have it on pre order. Atlus has made every launch copy into a premium boxed set. Packaged alongside the game is a free music CD featuring unique piano arrangements from famed composer Yoko Shimomura's acclaimed musical score. Shame it is only a week after Dragon Quest VI but that will have to wait (on my shelf!) for a while while I finish IX...

Just put in an order from Video Games Plus for this, about ?26 with postage and comes with the soundtrack CD so it wasn't bad.

Tell me about it, this looks excellent. I'm currently stuck between this, Tactics Ogre PSP and Jeanne d'Arc which I am still yet to play. With YS Chronicles around the corner too, theres a ton of handheld gaming to be had this year.

Finally got this today and played for a few hours. It feels pretty good so far, music is good and the battle system, while traditional turn-based, has some neat tricks to it like smacking enemies back and forth on a grid to perform combos. Obviously you can't really say much about an RPG after just two or three hours, but if anyone is curious about the game, I can try to answer questions.

Did anyone start a first play thread on this? Was on the train all day and put in around 4 hours. Damn ace so far.
