ASH - Archaic Sealed Heat Videos!

Everyone has probably already heard of ASH - Archaic Sealed Heat before. It is a stunning SRPG that is in Japanese that will be the first game to utilize a 256MB or 2Gb Nintendo DS cartridge. I finally got my hands on it, and I can honestly say that all of the dozens of in game videos I have seen already are BEAUTIFUL, but the main gameplay itself is fairly basic. The sprites for the characters are just ugly. But so far it is a fairly fun game. So I posted up 2 videos here:

Apparently famitsu gave it pretty decent scores, 8's and 9's.

For me, this game is ok, but with SRPG's such as Luminous Arc, there is no reason to get this one.

Although the graphics arent so good for some, a friend of mine thinks its good, i thinkthat maybe we should look at it froma different angle.

The fact that they were able to use a 256KB cartridge is probably the start of something new for the DS. Just imagine if this cartridge type becomes more widely available to game producers, that would mean longer and hopefully better DS games.

I think that a larger cart could add tons to the DS, however, it was so poorly used in this game... I mean they just have a ton of videos (which is still nice..)

Watching them now.

I really hope they Announce an Official Release Date for NA pretty soon!!!...
It's no fun to play the game in Japanese if I don't know what the heck is going on, or what I'm supposed to do lol

I can't imagine how long it'll take to translate all that text, there is so much! And there are voiceovers, etc.PharaohsVizier

yeah I know. It's a really big game, there is a lot of voice acting in there...

But then, I also read this News:

Mistwalker has confirmed that ASH (Archaic Sealed Heat) will indeed be heading to the US. The title is slated to hit sometime during the holiday season. ASH centers around a queen turned sword fighter due to her castle burning down. We have only seen a few screens of the game, and they were from a long time ago. The graphics looked absolutely outstanding. It should be interesting to see what happened to the graphical presentation since then.

I'd just like to have an official release date; that would be really nice!
