Agarest - Generations Of War is out

Well, my copy of Agarest - Generations of War (Agarest Senki) arrived in the post today. The retailer sent it early because of the postal strikes, I think, so it's arrived a day before it's available in shops!

Here are some photos (sorry they're wonky and dark):




Horrible choice of fonts, aren't they? -_-;

Unfortunately, when I try to play it, it just says "You cannot play this game at the current video output setting. (80028F10)", which means "I hate SDTVs! Plug me into an HDTV or high resolution monitor!", booooooooooo. :(

I can't remember where I put the cables... I really doubt it absolutely needs HDTV.... it's just trying to show off....

BTW this game is heading for America too, here's the official website:

Embarassing advertisement, isn't it?

Agarest Senki (PS3 game) coming to the UK

I noticed "Agarest: Generations Of War" up for preorder on GAME (UK retailer) for only £24.99 - that's like a budget title, in PS3 terms. The full price for videogames has been steadily rising over the last few months so normal RRP for a retail PS3 game is about twice that. T_T

It's Agarest Senki, and is going to be published by Ghostlight, subsidiary company of Midas Entertainment. The page for this game on their website doesn't work yet. They have a press release available to read, if you want a look.

As far as I know, this is the only release outside of Japan that the game is getting. Not that it really matters; the PS3 is region free after all.

I wonder if you will still be labelled a hikkikomori for getting the game's platinum trophy.

I don't have high expectations for the game because it's an Idea Factory game, so it's probably best placed as a budget title. Still, SRPG with dating sim elements is probably worth a look...

It comes out in about a month's time.
