I just wished that when the hero returned home he was able to throw it in everyone's face. The whole game I looked forward to what would happen when I got back , when I finally did, all the texts where the same as before I left. People where still talking to me like I was magic-less.
I need a sequel. I already finished the game with every one of my characters at level 99. I'd play it again if it weren't for the atrocious encounter rate, but the scenes are definitely memorable.
You walk two steps and you are in yet another battle. This game seems so great. The graphic style, the humor, the characters... But, how did they NOT realize that the encounter rate was so damn high? Annoyingly so. Did they even play the game after it was complete? This game seems to have what it takes to be a great RPG on my list, if it weren't for this huge let-down of encounters. I'd like to explore the land without having to sift through years of enemies to get one small chest.
I still don't see a problem with the encounter rate.
It's really on par with a few modern games such as Pokemon when you're in a cave, or older classics like the original Final Fantasy I and Breath of Fire I, II, and III.
@SabinleRose I just personally didn't like the encounter rate. I'm sure others (such as yourself) can play it and enjoy it. But, don't get me wrong.... Other than the encounter rate, this almost seems like Chrono Trigger material. (which is one of my favorite games)
I actually found a bunch of the glitches to be more deal breakers.
It's one of my favorite RPGs of this decade for sure. It's got an amazing soundtrack, likable characters, a main character who isn't a derpy emo, and a battle system that was something new and exciting. But all the glitches like not having a while feature be usable (Monster list thingy.) one of Nyms summons being unusable and the freezing.
But even still...for a group so small and new. Amazing first entry.
I just finished the game. Man, those 45 hours sure felt like forever. The ending could have been better, but great story nonetheless.
I really hope the developers make a sequel. There's just so many loose ends, like what actually happened between the Duke and Vai 15 years ago, what happened to Nephi, Aurora, and the entire Dragon and Bulmen race.
I represent everyone when I say that we just CAN'T get enough of the characters. There should seriously be a "Scene Replay" option or something.
@merksperk2 I think Kairu and Isa were about to... BUT FRIGGIN JUJI HAPPENED TO DROP HIS OAR... and the monster bar... wtf was it about? i think it was related to a bestiary like thing... and i hope a Black sigil exceutive happens to read your comment then i have something to look forward to on DS
We need a sequel/remake NOW! The characters are awesome, the plot is intriguing, the environments are gorgeous, and the character portraits are beautiful (Maya Anderson is a great artist).
Although, this game would have been better if there were no bugs, more enemy variety, on-map enemies like in Chrono Trigger, LESS random encounters, faster walking speed on world map, smoother attack/ability animation, more dialogue, and secret bosses.
Kairu x Isa is a heartwarming love relationship, BTW.
Alot of people have dissed this game, I just got it, best 14 bucks I spent. This game and Disgaea are just awsome. Bought them both for less then what i would of paid at launch.
i really love the game so far the music is amazing the dialogues are surprisingly witty the characters are pretty deep too.
the only part that bugs me a bit is the battlesystem is a compilation of everything annoying lol. limited terrain-movement, gaugefill, complicated actionselection(which makes scarlet petals the best thing ever ingame to me), limited battle-items, really annoying fleeing function, and no way to get out of a dungeon xept walking. but that also makes it very challenging.
I just completed the game this morning with 42 hours playing .. one word : AWESOME ! the funny part is that at the end you discover that the game was made by only 4 peoples xD (and some bunch of nowhere) and theres was 2 testor !! and the best it come from my town =3 Montreal ! I recommend this game to every fan of cronos triggers and final fantasy on snes uguys gonna love it !
yeah, and it shows than it was only made by a handful of people and only had two testers (the numerous glitches, one beneficial, the others being awful freexing ones)
I picked up the game recently and can tell you that it has great 16-bit visuals, terrific music, a great story, and is a ton of fun. However, the random encounter rate and difficulty cannot be ignored. Literally, this game is VERY, VERY HARD!! In addition, few save points, "surprise" attacks by power enemies, etc.
Overall, if you are looking for a challenging nostalgia-like game, give it a shot. Check the review on Amazon for details.
i got this game a week ago and its pretty fun its just like chrono trigger. i think i passed 3 bosses but i'm not sure if the first boss the red spider counts since its one of those boss battles where you don't really get to kill the boss yourself.
Seems interesting, but sadly...if they compare it to Chrono trigger like this, then I think the game is ruined for me since my expectations would be impossible to meet. Chrono trigger was perfect
Holy crap!!! Black Sigil is now actually in all Gamestops (the physical stores, not just online) Go to the Gamestop website and search for your area code to see if its in stock
I wouldn't agree on "unique" but I guess you could say it was a bit different during it's time. I own both games and have played them but to be honest I have to say Black Sigil is a tad bit better. Crono is a mute swordsman while Kairu is a cursed yet level-headed guy. He isn't the typical emo protagonist..like Cloud,Squall,etc. Crono has no personality so I can't say much on his account.
Wow, Now I know why this game took so long. Gets better the more you play, Only been playing 9 hrs or so. I have a long ways to go. A must have RPG game.
Chrono isn't gone there making new ones all the time based on the same story some have the same charecters to but yes i agree with you this game is junk it could be good but it's junk.
its an alright game i have been looking for a good ds game i havent seen very many lately so i thought i just check this one out nd its not very bad its prity good except that there is too many encounters with battles it a fun rpg if you havent played the final fantasy series its very similar if you have a dsi go get an acekard 2i and check it out on romualtion its a prity good game over all sence it doesnt have much to compare with.
Dude, the whole sprites and art thing really remind me of Chrono Trigger. I mean, seriously, Square Enix must have traded some sprite artists or something.
Funny how you all only really compare it with chrono trigger.
To me the story looks more like a clone of Seiken Densetsu 3 (From the Mana series) with the combat from Chrono Trigger.
And areas from both. (Seiken densetsu 3 mountain cliffs + castle, the waterfall cave etc.)
Definitely going to try this even though the graphics seem a bit snessy. There's plenty DS Rpg's out that have higher res sprites than this (Or a combination of sprites with cgi skills)
Check out Chrono Cross, Alundra 1, Xenogears, Grandia, Wizardry: Tale of the forsaken Land, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Dark Cloud 1+2, Shadow Hearts series ... just a few among many great RPGs for the PS2/PSX. You just have to look out for them.
Wow, I posted a reply on this video TWO FREAKING YEARS ago, and I'm still looking forward to this game as much now as I did back then. I can't wait until it's FINALLY released!
it great to see something like this on the ds, its been years since a decent oldschool rpg came out and it sure beats the casual gaming trend that lacks any real substance.
yes the graphics are similar to other games but alot of rpgs use a similar style also.
really looking forward to playing this in a week or so :-))
"...Black Sigil is a superbly polished throwback RPG consisting of gorgeous top-down regions separated by over world maps."
"The hair flows, robes flap, eyes bug out the level design within each labyrinth, kingdom, & town are spectacularly constructed relative to the era they represent."
"The dialogue is first rate ... the systems easy to assimilate, and the visuals are vibrant and painstakingly detailed. Great BGM too."
Wow this game will be epic ! Chrono styled graphics with a great battle system, it's not copying Chrono at all btw. And even if they got inspired by CT, they made a good move basing their stuff on the MOST amazing RPg ever made.
oh man...the whole comments are coming from real fans!!! square!!!! look at this!!! going back to the roots...that's what WE want!!!!! and not those crap like the new shit...
Damn!!! Those graphics!!! the music...this game will be the best of all!!! It reminds me of the old good times when i played Chrono or Secret of mana 2 the whole night!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, it feels so good...whoever made this fantastic game...he didn't forget about the real rpg fans!!!!
I hope XIII does well, but Square has lost its way with FF. There have been some great games come out in the past three years, but it has now become saturated with too many.
I think Megaman 9 has set a precedent that people want these kinds of games.
this game kinda reminds me of chrono trigger (like what everyone else has said) but also golden sun, parly because of the whole ship 3Dish flying part.
Uhmm.....this looks very SNES 16bitish...not that that's a dealbreaker. I'm just more interested in games like Sands of Destruction or Suikoden Tierkries that look more modern graffix wise. If the story is tip top....I will check it out for sure though.
Well, I guess it's good that they are dedicated to making a good product and NOT releasing something that isn't finished(like most greedy game companies) BUT in the end, it better all be worth it.... There's nothing worse than a game that gets pushed back and back, and then they release it and IT STILL sucks ass. That's like holding your poop in, but when you finally poop, it's still just poop.

I forgot to mention, the music is awesome. There are many memorable tracks in this game. Adding to the list of things that would improve this game:
- a bestiary
- weapon/armor customization (like in Final Fantasy 10)
- a New Game+ mode (we couldn't see the other endings once we got Vai and Doll), plus extras when initiating New Game+.
- Unlockable bonus features once you get a certain ending/all endings.
- A frickin' kiss between Kairu and Isa, dammit, shown via Ms. Anderson's art skills.

Wait no more:
Release Date: April 14th, 2009 - FUCK YEAH!!
Reminds me both Chrono Trigger and FFVI, with Secret of Mana combat menu. The perfect mixture.

Nope, just hopeful.
I hope XIII does well, but Square has lost its way with FF. There have been some great games come out in the past three years, but it has now become saturated with too many.
I think Megaman 9 has set a precedent that people want these kinds of games.

IGN - "Looks like another 16-bit RPG remake, but Black Sigil is an original game."
Cheat Code Central - "... but taken as a whole, this game is shaping up to be a substantial offering for serious RPG gamers to watch out for."

this game kinda reminds me of chrono trigger (like what everyone else has said) but also golden sun, parly because of the whole ship 3Dish flying part.

The only reason I feel like playing this game is because it's like Chrono Trigger.
For some reason, I get the feeling that this is going to be the next epic version of Chrono Trigger. But of course, Chrono Trigger is better.

Uhmm.....this looks very SNES 16bitish...not that that's a dealbreaker. I'm just more interested in games like Sands of Destruction or Suikoden Tierkries that look more modern graffix wise. If the story is tip top....I will check it out for sure though.

Ah, the spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger. All i can say is 'BOUT TIME.

Black Sigil will be released next month. BTW, the game received a Most Wanted RPG of 2009 Editor's Choice Award from RPGamer

I was kind of worried at first, then came the battle system it looks good.

a mixture between crhono and legend of mana...don't know...seems nice but a bit old fashioned
robacc18 3 years ago
Well, I guess it's good that they are dedicated to making a good product and NOT releasing something that isn't finished(like most greedy game companies) BUT in the end, it better all be worth it.... There's nothing worse than a game that gets pushed back and back, and then they release it and IT STILL sucks ass. That's like holding your poop in, but when you finally poop, it's still just poop.

I don't think this game is ever coming out. The release date has been pushed back time and again for a few years now.
