Black/Matrix OO First Battle

[kradfreezer23]

i've played this in ps1 long time ago but I cant read japanese :(, end up quiting the game 

[MrKing0777]

what system is this on

[JHAIRE02]

Im playing the GBA ver. of this game, and i cant figure out how the magic system work... Im in chapter 5-2 and still Cain doesnt have any Magic... The wings are black...

[ionagon1]

I know this game, if you want I will show you where to buy the strongest equipment. Mail: ionagon.

[geldofpunk32]

I wish someone would translate this already...

[alkafrazin]

@geldofpunk32 If you want it done, give it a shot. Believe it or not, it's not some impossible to do thing. Most translations are done by people who just want it translated already.

[geldofpunk32]

@alkafrazin If I could, I would.

Flight-Plan is dead as of August 4th 2010. They even even removed their website.

I was hoping their games would be released outside of Japan.....but seems Atlus didn't want to publish them because of religious content.

As far as I knew, NIS (Nippon Ichi Software) was now working with the ex-staff of Flight-Plan on a PSP game.

[alkafrazin]

@reiswindy Good to know.

I heard about the site going down not long after it happened. Really broke my heart, actually. :(

Hopefully, NIS can acquire the rights to FP licenses and maybe remake them/bring them over. If any company fits well with FP, it's NIS for sure.

[RuneAnime1]

is there translation for this game?

[alkafrazin]

@RuneAnime1 no.

ว้าว ฆ่า Akira ได้ด้วย

[Gunnar00]

Hey Alka, which BlackMatrix games would you recommend playing? I love Tactics Games, but I already beat FF Tactics and Flight Plan has not released U.S. Versions of DragonShadow Spell. Could you tell me which BM games I should play (and any other English Translated Tactics games you like)?

[Rotffner]

this soundtrack is so similar to "Gunz the duel" soundtrack. except gunz is better.

[cowboydan1991]

This reminds me very much of the Disgaea series.

I love the Disgaea series.

[alkafrazin]

NIS and Flight Plan are both highly fanservice-driven SRPG developers with a knack for making off-beat SRPGs with interesting new ways of adding depth, as well as high quality voice acting and charming characters being standard for both companies.

Though, realistically speaking, Black/Matrix and Disgaea are about as far appart as isometric tactical/strategy RPGs can get.

[adiodici12]

good game the best!

[SagaraGauron]

good game

[alkafrazin]

One of the best. I wish I still had time to enjoy it properly.

[HypnoPants]

so it's a hardcore-version of Final Fantasy Tactics? :P nice.

[alkafrazin]

It's a completely different game. Tactics Ogre is a hardcore version of Final Fantasy Tactics. This is more like Fire Emblem on crack, except not shitty.

[HypnoPants]

lol @ the fire emblem bit :P

but I see!

[ABBAskey]

and with increasingly awesome music, even the repeat doesn't bother me because the riffs are tight, any way i can find a guide of sorts to aid my translation of the game?

[alkafrazin]

I wish. As far as I know, no guide exists for this game.

[ABBAskey]

oh well, i'm gonna have to pick up some simple translation here and there

[alkafrazin]

You can usually get away with just talking to everything and then pressing start to advance the story. Figuring out what pain rings/items do is all trial and error, though, and a bit of memorization.

[ABBAskey]

ok when i get around to it i'll write up the names and what they do, my memory sucks

[RufroX9]

I think it's backwards - FFT being a hardcore TO, since one is the 'spiritual successor' of the other.

[alkafrazin]

That would be the case if FFT was a hardcore TO. The problem is, FFT is a watered down TO, making TO the hardcore FFT.

Also, FFT is more commonly known.

[RufroX9]

true true... good point =)

[yoznfroogurt]

ETERNAL EYES

[alkafrazin]

What about Eternal Eyes?

[anxomarin]

what game is this?

[alkafrazin]

Black/Matrix OO

[cihulec666]

check snesorama...there you can download this game.

snesorama !!!

[Ritualex]

boring...

[alkafrazin]

Then link to something interesting.

[sirsniffy]

This would be perfect translated and released on the DS!

[alkafrazin]

Yes, it would. Sadly, it's unlikely, since the series has been dead since 2004.

[NikoSlave]

i need that game
