If redrawing everything is a necessity for games to look good, then the GBA games would be everyone's favorite CV series since everything was redrawn for each of the three titles, despite the fact they wanted to maintain a style close to Rondo before the DS was powerful enough to port it entirely.


I support the better animation required cause.

I don't know about that. Aria of Sorrow and Circle of the Moon weren't really close to the Rondo style at all imo. They were as close to the Rondo style as Super CVIV or Chronicles are. Only Harmony of Dissonance really made an effort to be similar.

Though, funnily enough, I find the GBA saga to be superior to all three DS titles at least.

Everything you collect is added to your pile of loot, and any stat boost you gain from eating food along the way is permanently conferred to the active character.

Uhm, no it's not.

The puppet master was from AoS.  It's funny when "journalists" pretend to know what they're talking about.

The Puppet Master was from DoS, not AoS.

In my mind I was thinking DoS, but AoS came out.  I realized after, DoS = DS.  Kind of like HoD = HD.  So clever  :P

The peeping eye in that video is probably from AoS though, heh.

I am sure this will be a successful game, despite some fans protesting about the remixing and reusing old sprites and levels. If it were an original game, many would be pissed off that they can′t play it because it is on X360. This is a game inspired by DS games and everyone can enjoy the multiplayer CV. For those who want *new*, you have that..thing..LOS..

For everyone else, let′s wait and see if a new CV game comes out on 3DS, PSP..I want 2D gameplay, of course. It would be a good idea to make a poll here to see how many fans want/prefer 2D and how many 3D. It would be interesting to see results.
