It's been one busy weekend, and a lot to keep straight, so the Haven offers you this less-than-interactive guide to Square Enix Party 2005. Read on
Square Enix has at long last revealed information concerning Grandia III's battle system, called "initiative points" (doubtless due to poor translation). In battle, a dial appears in the upper left corner, and icons representing characters and enemies spin clockwise until they reach a "Com" line, commands are issued, and they continue to spin until they reach an "Act" line. This is, for those who may remember, a system replicated from the previous Grandia incarnation, and rolled into convenient circular form. Mana Eggs also make an appearance, and when broken will enable stronger spells. Grandia III hits Japan on August 4th. No word yet of a North American release.
So apparently there's some new news regarding the upcoming Square Enix Party 2005, which is set to occur July 30-31 somewhere in Japan. Final Fantasy XII will be there. That fact alone virtually warrants coverage! Read on
According to Square Enix, the theme song to Grandia III, entitled "In the Sky", will be sung by female artist "Miz" in what is essentially a re-recording into Japanese.
In addition, a number of voice actors have been confirmed for the upcoming action-RPG: Masaya Matsukaze (Yuuki), Haruka Kinami (Alfina), Takeru Shibaki (Ull), Sayaka Yoshino (Dahna), Ayaka Maeda, Takashi Hagino (Emelious), Shinji Kasahara, Chieko Baishou (Holy Beast), Shingo Katsurayama (Alonso) and Mayumi Wakamura (Miranda).
Grandia III releases August 4th in Japan.
The humble deities at Square Enix have blessed their equally-deferential following with some new details on upcoming Playstation 2 RPG, Grandia III. It is not surprising to see that in addition to the presence of many aircraft in the game, the player will be able to control one of these flying marvels to move around the map. Not only this, but the use of a on-board telescope provides countless hours of first-person zooming fun! Following in the footsteps of such classic titles as Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy, this is a move sure to seize audiences for the game's August 4th Japanese release.
