Also, RPGfan posted a small article on the new NIS PSP game Hymn Princess of Antiphona: Angel's Score Op. A.


Nippon Ichi Software is working on a new strategy RPG for PlayStation Portable. Titled Antiphona no Seikahime: Tenshi no Gakufu Op.A, the game will be reminiscent of Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (and other games in the Marl's Kingdom series), as these games will share the "music" theme. In the world of Antiphona, music can be transformed into magic. The game's protagonist, a young girl by the name of Miabel, has to find a way to bring back the voice of her sister, which was stolen by the Demon King. The musical theme, however, won't be limited to the story, but also feature heavily in the gameplay. Event scenes, for instance, will feature dancing and singing not unlike a musical performance. Be it standard conversations or important event scenes, Antiphona will offer full voice acting. The game is scored by NIS' veteran composer Tenpei Sato.

And while I'm at it, here's a summary of what NISA's newsletters have been about in the past week, provided by RPGamer :

Fresh from Anime Expo, NIS America released some solid news about a few titles they have been quiet about. First off, Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love, due out this fall on PlayStation 2 and Wii, will be released as a premium package. This special release will feature two discs, one with English voices and one with the original Japanese. Along with containing two discs, this tactical RPG will come with a special cover art, and most importantly, will retail for only $39.99.

Hot on the heels of that announcement came confirmation of a North American release for Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island. While RPGamer had revealed info prior to this announcement, it's now official. This Nintendo DS RPG will have players not only fighting in a unique tactical combat system, but building a resort while collecting items for alchemy. This hybrid game will be available in October 2009.

NIS America has also announced that a trophy patch for Disgaea 3 will be released on PSN on July 16. This patch will add more than 50 trophies, but current saved data will not be usuable with this patch, so players will have to start over to obtain them. For a list of trophies, click here.

RPGamers who pre-order Phantom Brave: We Meet Again can still obtain the Japanese Original Soundtrack: Sato Tenpei's Selection. This sampler includes ten songs as well as a tray card containing the Japanese lyrics for two of the songs in the game. This bonus is limited to the first 500 customers and is only available here.

Finally, NIS America is hiring a script editor. If you are interested in jumping into the gaming industry more details are available on the company's main employment page.

Finally : A Witch's Tale is up for Pre-Order at Gamestop. I don't know what Rosenqueen is planning with it's preorder sales, but for those eager to preorder it already it's available on the online website for Gamestop. Someone needs to tell Gamestop that Koei is not the publisher for these games. Oh well!

If the musical theme is featured all over the place, there better be tap dancing and bagpipe demons to beat up. /priorities

The main character's name is Miabel? Isn't that the name of one of the characters found in the Disgaea 2 PSP UMD?

Yep, seems like she same character after all. Early cameo--- sorta.

Yup, the sprite matches the character art. Looks like they've been planning a new Marl Kingdom game for a while now.
