I just found out its being developed by Q? and *drum roll* Feel Plus, the guys who made Lost Odyssey. This is going to be awesome. :dance:
I still need to finish the first one...it's alright, I just hate when I die and have to redo the whole level.
I liked N3. I found it vastly better than the other hack'n'slash titles of its type (everything Koei ever made, Kingdom Under Fire), but it was still lacking in a lot of departments... particularly in story and characters. With Feel Plus at the helm, I feel fairly certain the story and characters will be much better this go round. Also, Feel Plus did the graphics for Infinite Undiscovery, so I imagine N3 2 will be much prettier as well.
Ha, yeah, that was annoying as hell. Especially in that "flat lands" level, where you would be walking all over this giant plain going from massive battle to massive battle only to die at some insane boss at the very very very very end. Some of the characters were a lot of fun though. I loved playing as the troll, Inphyy, and even though I HATED her at lower levels, Tyrru (the witch) was a lot of fun once she leveled up a lot.
