Infinite Souls

Hi everyone,

http://www.compileheart.com/mugen/

This is the new game Idea Factory is working on for the Playstation 3. It's named Infinite Souls. It's a RPG and its gameplay is very similar to Disgaea. However, the similarities don't stop here. Takehito Harada and Nomura Ryouji are designing the characters, click here to check out some of their art and some magazine scans of the game (nsfw for cleavage).

This game has lots of fanservice apparently (why the protagonist is a kid, Harada why) ... Here's a dengeki article with hi-res art. (NSFW)
Besides, in a similar way to Tinier Me you can customize your character! That's pretty cool feature!

Honestly, this time I think Harada designed the characters in a rush. And Nomura Ryouji... ...
So, what do you guys think?

that looks pretty awesome just looking at the drawing almost makes you think its the next disgaea. And i like the thief redrawing combining the original thief and the new thief

To be honest, the thing that's got my attention is Keiji Inafune heading things. I'm going to wait to see if anything else comes out about this before any final decision at all comes around, though.

The only thing I don't like about this game is Ryoji. Everything else seems fine and I'd play it.

I don't think this will be a game for me, the picture of a young looking naked girl covered in a sperm-like substance creeps me out.

This is definitely one that I'm hoping will be brought over, I looks really interesting.

I read about this a few days ago. I'm surprised there has been no mention of Katsuyuki Hirano(artist of Agarest War and Cross Edge) as part of the group of artists who will be contributing to this game. Hirano is rather appropriately, the artist in charge of the erotic scenes in the game. While the erotic art of that pink-haired girl looks like Hirano's the style, long, green-haired girl looks like its another artist's work. What I like best about Hirano is that his art is almost hardly ever difficult to look at. Even with some of the very phallic artwork of Agarest, I never thought any of it was bad or ridiculous in proportions. It had plenty of sex appeal without being overly trashy.

I'm fine with Harada's designs. Aside from the main character, whom has a slight Raspberyl feel to her, the others don't seem too similar to the characters from the other games Harada worked on. In short, the other two don't seem to be expies from other NIS games.

As for Ryouji's design, that's the only I give a thumbs down for. I know there's only appearance to by, but his character seems to be a bit of a Priere expy.
