Details:

"You play as a pair, consisting of a male and female character, and travel to dungeons as you attempt to work through the game's story line. The game promises four scenarios detailing the exploits of four pairs."

"Today's formal announcement came with staff details. Chaos Rings is being produced by Crystal Defenders producer Takehiro Ando. As detailed yesterday, Final Fantasy VII character designer Yusuke Naora is doing character design work on the game. The scenario writer is Yukinori Kitajima, known for his work on Chun Soft digital novels. The game's sound is being handled by composer Noriyasu Agematsu."

More Details:

"From Square Enix and the developers Wild Arms comes Chaos Rings, an iPhone game that looks like it could be the first great 3D Japanese RPG on the platform, with production values on par with PlayStation-era Final Fantasy titles."

"The story, which was detailed in this week's issue of Japanese gaming mag Famitsu and gleaned by Andriasang, revolves around a tournament called the Arka Arena, where five teams for two fighters each are brought to and forced to fight to the death. The player chooses a team and sets out to battle monsters and work their way through a story crafted by novelist and game scenario writer Yukinori Kitajima, chief writer for Sega's Japanese Wii exclusive, 428."

^Designer Yukinori Kitajima was in charge of the critically acclaimed 428 for the Wii which received the rare 40/40 on Famitsu.

*Reviews*

4/4 "Chaos Rings is a 3D RPG masterpiece that fully demonstrates Square Enix is still at the top of their game." - Slide2Play.com (GS partner)

I have an Iphonie buddy that I will tell about this game.

My buddie is a hardcore Apple fanboy (Iphonie), but he isn't really a PC/console gamer so much, but he would buy this, I'm sure. If anything, just to have it, and show people at work.

7.0 tops. although it won't get reviewed anyways

Itll get AAA. Of course... its an Iphone game.

I'm not at all hyped for this game but I'm sure it'll get a good score iPod standards.

I still think you're Over Hyping this game.

Why put this on Ipod? Put it on a console or DS or somethin.

I'm like the art style but I don't know enough about the game. But since a lot of the Wild Arm team is working in it I say A and maybe AA.

Looks terrible IMOtomarlyn

Well thankfully the quality of games arent based on your opinion

I couldn't say what this game will get, but it does look like something worth keeping an eye on.

Why does this guy keep bumping the thread?

Clearly no one is excited about the game, atleast not yet.

Let it die.

Ghost, instead of continuously bumping this thread, why not simply put a link to it in your signature?

Done I linked it in my sig thanks for idea

[QUOTE="ghost392"]Wow you ask me about snow particles when you posted the pics with them... Chaos Rings has nice smoke effect in lava too soo it wins in particles. Its CC fault it uses bad 3D backgrounds as opposed to good 2D ones... Also the 2D is a design choice because they want to make it like FF7,8,9, Xnogears, etc. The backgrounds look very nice In Chaos rings like a painting.Skittles_McGee

How are you going to argue CC looks better with the screens right there?

Chaos rings may not have 3D backgrounds but it is full 3D as your character moves around go watch the trailer... FF7 is full 3D FF8 is full 3D

Just because a game renders a very nice looking 2D backgorund over a 3D plane does not make it less 3D

Also because the prerendered backgrounds it will age better and look smoother so it looks better but whether it technically is can be debated.

I told you it was a design choice because other Ipod Touch games do 3D and the particles are amazing compared to CC and Good 2d > jaggiefest 3D backgrounds

FF13 has good 3D backgrounds but games like FFX would look better with prerendered imo

[QUOTE="ghost392"]

[QUOTE="Desmonic"] Again, what snow particles? The ones in the Chaos RIngs pic? What about them? Do you think having snow particles but not even being able to do 3D backgrounds is a good thing? So because Caos Rings has a little fog above the (which is likely a part of the actual background) lava it wins in particles!? LAWL! XD Also, going with your logic 2D backgrounds >>>> 3D backgrounds/enviornments.. So FF 13, in your opinion would have been better with 2D backgrounds...heck, it wouldn't even need to be a next gen game! It could all still be done on the PS2, GameCube and Xbox! Either way, Crisis Core is far more impressive for a handheld RPG and as I said will most likely end up as the better game. Desmonic

FF13 has good 3D backgrounds but games like FFX would look better with prerendered imo

By that logic any game using prerendered sucks??? FFIX Xenogears etc. all SUCK?

Seriously its called art dirrection they are making it look unique with painting esq in CC it was the same universe as FF7 so Chaos Rings is a un ique game and this is a HYPE thread not a HATE thread

Ummmm excuse me, I may be wrong about this, but weren't you the one complaining about SMT: Strange Journey not have animations in battle.....

...seems hypocritical to use this "design choice" arguement if it was you who said that.

Also CC does look better and is more demanding.

[QUOTE="ghost392"]

[QUOTE="Desmonic"] Sorry, my bad when writting the name of the game. But anyway.again proof? Proof tha iPod Touch games do 3D and particles better than Crisis Core. And I'd rather have a fully 3D explorable, interactive background than a "pretty" static 2D background. As I said, it's more impressive and it's far more enjoyable to play. But if you think a game with 2D backgrounds and 3D characters that still look far worse than those found on Crisis Core, is going to be the pinnacle of RPG's on handhelds well you are gravely mistaken buddy. Also basing myself from the trailer the battle system doesn't seem to be all that great either....Hakkai007

Well if making characters static and combat static is a design choice it was a very terrible one imo.
