  • this probably won't help my music homework. cool cartoons though. and music.

  • I got it £4.97 in game shop ;)

  • @VermAOD score

  • This game kinda reminds me of the Persona series... ^^"

  • wow, sounds interesting. I'll have to try it out. :)

  • It sounds like the narrator is the same girl who does the voice acting for the major in ghost in the shell and cornelia in code Geass. Is that right?

  • Well .. the voice actor who did Cornelia is Mary Elizabeth something and she is credited for voice-acting one character (Eliza) in Baroque.

    It wouldn't suprise me if she also narrated this trailer.

  • Yup, that's her. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. Strange thing is, though, is that though she's credited as the voice of Eliza she sounds nothing like her and instead seems to voice Dr. Angelicus.

  • hey! I live in the uk and cant find this game anywhere! are there any sites i can get it from? thanks!

  • would any of you highly recommend this game? i really want to play it, but ive never played a game like this. i dont want to buy it then never play it....

  • well on a 1 - 10 scale i would give it a 8 or 9 i mean it's cool, everytime you die it gives a different segment in the story and the characters are strange which is another thing i like but yea i would recommend it, lol my friend doesn't even know how to use the weapons on Baroque and some of my friends say its for emo people but they don't like the stuff that we like, cause they're preps (not going to explain)

  • okay thank you! and its cool abvout your prep friends.. im like the only person out of my friends thats a hardcore gamer.. :P

  • its funny i bought the game and i died as soon as i got near a bad guy i laughed so hard but yea its an interesting game

  • yeah i just bought it, :P so im not really sure where im goign , but you know those little disk things? there was one on the ground and i kept trying to pick it up.. it kept hurting me haha it took me a while to understand....

  • i keep forgetting the name of the song i think its Sinful eyes but i keep having to look on my Wii just to get the name lmao

  • whats awesome about baroque is that in other games you try to stay alive but in baroque the point is to die in order to pass the game,and its actually pretty hard to o and its not that expensive mine cosed me $20

  • this game rocks its just a bit hard at first o.o

    the music is really good :3♥♥♥♥♥

  • Does anyone know if the ps2 version is better than the wii version?

  • I think it is, but then I haven't seen the wii version =3

  • i wanna get this game :) but its like 50 bucks :(

  • really? 50 bucks? geez i must have been lucky, i got mine for only like 18 bucks

  • i want dis

  • Goddamn this game is hard

  • yea it is hard i keep dying either on the 3rd or 4th floor in the tower D:

  • the darkness of this game reminds me of koudelka and shadow hearts which is why i wanna get it!!!

  • OMG i was going to buy the freakin game at best buy like yesterday but my parents said not to! <( now i no next time ill take $40 and buy that freakin game!!! lol butthe characters sorta scare me 00 lol

  • the start is fairly rough but, once you get past that it gets easier for you to descend the Neuro Tower and it gets easier to attain stronger items so it's not a TOTAL pain in that sense.

    So if you have the patience and mental capacity to be able to play and understand this game, these of which are extremely rare traits in the common american gamer, then you will find that depth and you'll see how epic it really is.

  • [...]extremely rare traits in the common american gamer[...]

    Yeah, because Europeans are way more refined gamers....

    No need to bring down Americans to make yourself feel smarter. There are people who will hate this game regardless of their nationality.

  • Hmm? I don't know why you bring up Europeans because I was talking about the USA specifically not NA.

    And I don't do it to make myself feel smarter, I do it because it's easy and fun and generally it's true. But, of course not all Americans are like this.

    And I realize that some people will hate this game regardless because some people don't like RPGs. I'm mainly targeting other RPG players which are probably the only ones who would bother to watch this video/comment on it.

  • I brought up Europeans because it was another nationality. I could have very well said Africans or Asians but my point was not to bring down an ethnic group, unlike some.

    I was simply aiming to demonstrate how flawed that affirmation was.

    You could have kept it at "the common gamer" and the message would have been conveyed perfectly.

    Also, "mental capacity to understand this game"...lol

    It's not rocket science for crying out loud.

    I really get the impression you're acting high and mighty.

  • european isn't a nationality though.

    english,french,spanish,russian­...these are nationalities

    nationality defines which country/nation not continent

    :)

    is all

    and this don't look that great,looks like baten kaitos but different

  • The man speaketh the truth!

    I stand corrected. =)

    And the game is not a "great" one, but it is definitely unlike ANY other game. Looks is one thing that it doesn't have going for it though, so don't judge before reading up/trying it first.

    And not just for an hour or so either. Really get in there!

  • You know, rocket science isn't actually that hard... Just saying :P

  • Americans get a bad rap, but there are total idiots all over the world.

  • Then I assume you're not american?

  • This game defines the quote: Patience is a virtue.

    If you are shallow and expect the typical RPG out of this then you're in for a rude awakening.

    Baroque is an extremely intense and very suspenseful RPG that's deep and epic. Although a tad confusing, relative to the anime Evangelion, the story gets pieced together as you venture deeper inside the Neuro Tower. This game is SO unique that it's incomparable to any other RPG out today. So for everyone I'd recommend starting on Easy mode because

  • the game is good and all but in the beginning its like whats the story line really.?myy sis barley got it today and im still wondering whats its about..do we just keep going down the neuro tower? (i cant spell sry :P)

  • if you didnt already go through the training dungeon then ya(the dungeon is on the right side of the map just past the bagged one. a guy with a coffin on his back is standing in front of it)you dont have to do through the training dungeon but you get a basic sword, basic coat, 1 antidote, 4 warp bones, and a heart with little work (they realy help)

  • Watch: Le film baroque! awesome school project...

  • This game honestly, is disgustingly bad. You start off, and nothing happens, they don't tell you the storyline, they don't tell you what to do. YOu're just there, and they give you a gun, with FOUR SHOTS, and you're supposed to go and fight these damn things. I played it for 10 minutes.

  • man u gotta love rpgs for playing this game like i do.

    every good rpg fan knows that when a caracter has amnesia the story is told fragment by fragment and it has very good storys (usually:yggdra union for example,but the game style has 10)i wish i were u to play it

  • If you were me, you'd have half a brain not to play it.

  • youre retarded.

    first off the gun has five bullets(you can get ten more if you use the storage trick my brother found out.)

    secondly its called SUSPENSE.

    while going through the game you can find hidden cutscenes that help explain a little more("do you remember the scar?")

    third they clearly lable time and time again GO TO THE NERO TOWER, FIND WEAPONS, GET TO THE BOTTOM.

    forth this game kicks ASS,

    ill admit that at the start its kinda boring/confusing, but after you die a few times you

  • CONTINUATION: start to get the hang of the game and in my apinion: becomes the one of the best video games of all time.

    fifth:it doesnt make sense that you would buy/rent this game, play it for ten minutes, say its stupid, look up a video of it on YouTube, then post a dirty comment. wats the point?

    sixth: Im probably the only person that left such a long comment I was forced to split it up

    thats my appinion, you can bitch about it all you like but on some level (lame joke) you know im right

  • You are completely right. If you don't like the game then shut the hell and don't watch videos then comment something bad about it! It takes so much less time and effort to push the freakin back button then to sit here and write a stupid hate comment! geez...

  • It's written "opinion".

    Although, you're right.

  • this game got like a 3 out of 10 in nintendo power. Looks cool but probably only fun for like an hour. Maybe get when price goes down to like 15 or 20 bucks for a used copy.

  • i have ths game...its really awsom but somewat creepy.

  • well, after reading all this i think that if it is a challenging game ill play it, like difficulty

  • Ah, I love this game! It makes me laugh...(more specificly, coffin man makes me laugh)

    I enjoy the dungeon crawling, the loads of different kinds of weapons and items, and how no dying doesn't actually matter that much/you're supposed to die.

  • Hella good game goddammit. i also think coffin man is a laugh factor god dammit buy the game god dammit. find coffin man god dammit... :D

  • just buy the game god dammit,lol

    hey,is there any clue when the story will brighten up?im still venturing,in the tower and still dunno what was 'that girl in the well' doing.This game kinda reminds me of P3 with the Tartarus.

  • well actually u dont frking undestand the game till u die and get deep in the tower so just keep up and dont forget to interact with other chars ti help

  • the hidden thing in this video not going to tell but you can see the wii menu sometime in the video

  • it's one of those few games that reveal more of the story the more you die. It's intresting in concept, but a bit too weird and confusing for some.

  • this game is a masterpiece. my brother got it for the wii two days ago and it is amazing. the combat system is repetative, but the dungeon-crawling, rpg elements shine through the twisted, trippy storyline that you go through, each time not knowing what the fuck is going on, its an awesome game.

  • The gameplay and music kinda reminds me of the Shin Megami Tensei stuff, dunno why, mind you it looks interesting.

  • yeah same here

  • The game's confusing on wii.

  • it reminds me of D.gray man a little!!! lol

  • It does remind D.gray-man!

  • uhg I love this game but i have no clue what the hell to do. Ive looked every where i can think of but i cant find a guide. ive been to the bottom twice died countless times some chick wants my pure watter? how do i get that? somone help me out here lol.

    other then the begging for help i love the game and cant stop playing it :3

  • Narration by Mary McGlynn FTW!! This game looks cool...I'm planning on getting it.

  • I'm not typically one for dungeon crawlers or real time combat, but I picked this game up on impulse and now I'm addicted.

  • This game really sucks.. im sry I hated it.

  • this looks interesting but it's "that" dificult?? Btw when It's coming out??

  • The opening kinda reminds me of Persona 3

  • The battle system reminds me of .Hack. I have to pick up this game!

  • i got this for the ps2, i tried playing it but, i got annoyed in like 1 hour of game play....i dislike that you have to currentlly be fighting to keep up your VT, and well the random dungon thing made me go...."so uhm, what happens after i get all the way down here?"......i'm not saying its bad, i like the game, but i just want to know how you actually play it, or if its really just a bunch of random fighting...meh w/e i'll find some time some day to try to play it again and find out more =)

  • The key point of the game to progress is to die to find out more of what's going on at certain points. Levels in this game basically don't matter, so.

  • Awesome game. Always enjoyed an out-of-the-ordinary RPG. Too bad most people don't share the same sentiment.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA!! "Heal your sins and heal the world." Seems remniscient of "Save the cheerleader, save the world." ;-D

  • OMG, A anime style Survival horror game!

  • Also, for those who are getting the wrong idea = Megaten made the SMT, Persona, Devil summoner and etc. Series as Sting made this and stuff like Riviera and Yggdra Union.

    Don't get them mixed up. This game is pretty similar and dark to SMT games, but it's not one of them if that's what you're wanting to see.

  • I got this game and as I thought it is interesting. To bad that it getting bad review by people that just don't like the style of this game. Come to think of it this is the only rpg I played over and over without the promise of keeping my lvl and or items. :)

  • this game is actually pretty good i'm a hardcore rpg gamer and roguelike games like baroque fits in my category. i'm kind of disappointed of it's reviews, but thats because the reviewer was geared towards general audiences not just rouglike fans. I recommend buying this game or at least rent it if your an rpg or rouge like fan. there aren't any control difficulties or anything it was just got bad reviews because of it's style but the game is really promising in the end.

  • continued from my last post: reviewers were pretty ironic for pointing out that they thought that dying and losing all your items and levels is annoying, well... its called rougelike for a reason, they complained about how a concept of a game is suppose to work which is pretty stupid. all in all new comers and casualy gamers be careful you may have a different view towards this game if you've never really played rougelike genres.

  • Yeah, old-fashioned (or should I say, narrow-minded?...no, this term is too ofensive =x) gamers that like only these kind of RPGs (like FF*insert a number*) only see goodness on games that your only goal is to kill monster, read tons of dialogues, and walk through dungeons. When people create new kinds of games (not exactly create...they are just trying to be different), they usually say "AHHHHH!!!! But that's bad! IT IS DIFFERENT!!!". I love Sting because of that, they create different games.

  • Like Riviera. It is quite an old game (as all Sting's games) that is being remade, but their style is completely different. In Riviera u have so many stuff to do. Not only boring (there are boring stuff to do,I know), but intuitive, like "Press B, A, ^, v to not get caugh by the bolder that is ready to kill u". Usually in games the characters do those stuff by themselves which is killing the gameplay.

    Ending this (I talk too much), Baroque is cool and have a good story. Prepare to play alot.

  • Riviera remake? Where? When? On what system? Must own....!

  • (Sorry guys...I am doing a lot of spam here...)

    Riviera IS a remake... Riviera was first done to Wonderswan Color (I think this is the name). It was remade for GBA and then for PSP. PSP version is the best possible (look at the WC color...it is terrible hahah)

    Also Yggdra Union is remake. I forgot what was the first console, but I know it is. Baroque is a remake. I don't remember any more games, but they are awesome!

  • It's not so much that, but more of the fact that this is a roguelike game. (I believe that's what they're called.) These kind of games are more hard that the norm and are usually looked at as bad because of how much they punish you if you mess up.

    The reason older gamers like this is because, well, in the old RPGs, it wasn't easy as it is now and very much so being hard. These are pretty much in that same standard. For another good little roguelike game, check out Izuna for the DS.

  • Oh, sorry, maybe because of my english you got me wrong! What I mean is those gamers who only play FF*insert number* and stuff. I was saying that, when people create something new (harder, by chance), people dislike it because they have difficulty to adapt. And I loved Izuna! =D I need to buy one for me too! Ahem, back to the topic:

    Baroque is a game that requires patience, good stomach, good administration of items, and love for equipments (his robes are cool!).If u can't appreciate those...

  • @Isaac - Yeah, I agree. I'm honestly tired of easy RPGs, seriously. I like them for their plots and such, but thats as far as it goes. Atlus has really been putting the "umph" back into the RPGs with hard bosses and such. I'd like to see more of that and more Tri-Ace games.

  • I got this game yesterday. Its pretty nice! Although, be warned, its definitely not for everyone (especially not new gamers because you will have a hard and frustrating time with this game since its made for a crowd thats more adept at games).

  • I am planning to get this game for the Wii despite the last review I read. LOL

  • Yea, me too. Someone on Gamestop's website gave it a 1/10, but it sounds like he is just whining. Atlus has never disappointed me.

  • until luminous arc lol

  • yeah, I guess the reviewers just don't get it, kinda sad though

  • this is like a dirge of cerebus meets phantasy star universe

  • lolwat.

    Dirge = lol.

    PSU = Good ass game with a few problems like hackers and reskins. That's about it.

    So that's enough to point people into playing this.

  • i love the religius feeling this game gives! fighting with angels-hell-demons! great! just like SMT DDS right? über cool

  • i loved persona 3 i will love this game

  • you will

    coffin man:love it , goddammit!lol.

  • I might play this game only because the voice actor of Angel from Digital Devil Saga is in it. She's one of my favorite characters from it. :)

  • Looks like Persona.... atleast the cutscenes do. Where's the gameplay??

  • sweet. I just finished Persona 3 not to long ago. Now I have another game to look forward too :)

  • finally! i have been waiting for a game like this for the wii.

  • this looks crazy i want it so much i cant wait

  • this is also for ps2!!

  • Hilda!! is that you!! have i stepped into .hack >.>

  • Umm, you mean Helba??

  • yeah her hahah

  • Impressive. Looks good!

  • this look like a good game!

  • lol 1:06 ----> TSUKASA!!! XD

    I know it isnt lol

  • the voice of this lady is (angel) who is the character from digital devil saga 2.

  • Also English VA for Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex I think.

    *fap* *fap* *fap* *fap*

  • yep

  • i...must...have...!

  • I'd like to see a Baroque anime series.

  • that's what they said about Persona 3..and look what happened X0 lol

  • lol is it bad?

  • Persona 3?? HELL NO!! If you like a good story board, and isn't afraid to try new things from an average RPG, than Persona 3 is it!! =D I should know, I have the game.

  • nope.

  • This is gonna be an awesome game, I cant wait.

    Also is it just me or does the girls voice sound like the majors voice from ghost in the shell.

  • its probably her VA

  • I was thinking the exact same thing.

  • She does sound like her. Also she sounds exactly like Helba in the anime of .Hack//Signs.

  • lmao yeah xD

  • That's correct and she's a good voice actress.

  • Damn, if they can remake this Saturn game, why can't we get a Shining Force III Compilation??? That being said, I've been wanting to play Baroque for a long time (about 10 years now), so I'll give it a look when it comes out.

  • This game is rated T for Tobacco References.

  • plus Animated Blood, Fantasy Violence, Mild Language,and Mild Suggestive Themes... check your source again

  • Damn I've been anticipating for this game for months. first SSBB gets delayed from February to march now this is delayed from February to march. damn march better be a good ass month!!

  • umm... its been delayed to april actually xD

  • uhm if u read when my comment it was posted one month ago. that was before they delayed it once again to april...

  • oops edit; uhm if u read when his comment it was posted one month ago. that was before they delayed it once again to april...

  • ONLY ON WII AND I WANT IT

  • Wrong it's a Ps2 and Wii title.

  • good, i only want it on Wii though

  • This isn't a PSO ripoff retard this game came out on the Sega Saturn, way before PSO came out. And it's not a Megaten game. And the megaten games aren't even monster killing games. Know what you're talking about, dumbass

  • Looks great can't wait

  • OK now I'm interested. I hope it turns out as well as P3

  • There's an in-game option to change from third-person to first-person. At least, for the Wii version anyway.

  • Thats the voice actor from Ghost in the Shell (at least from S.A.C.) I likes her voice. If this is Shin Meg Tensei game I will probably not play it. His games are just moster killing games that get old. Likewise if it's a PSO knock off.

  • I doubt it's a MegaTen game.

  • I am getting the PS2 version of this game no matter what anyone thinks about it.

    After all it's an Atlus game, which means it's low-print, which also means...it's going to be worth a lot. >:D

  • reminds me of PSO ep 1 and 2

    hope this is online

  • Looks kinda like Shin Meg Tensei:Persona 3.

  • Baroque comes from atlus just like pesona 3. This game looks sweet it has a home page for this game.

  • I know,it's just it looks alittle to similar. :\

  • u mean homage? LOL!

  • I am so stoked for this game.

  • That's not the baroque style of art at all. :|

  • quite reminds me of Persona 3

  • Nonono its a dungeon crawler with intence difficulty, as said by atlus.

  • An Atlus RPG for Wii? Sounds good.

  • Another awesome title from atlus and its for the wii. im glad theyre gonna be getting a good staple of rpg's for the system since thats what the gamecube lacked alot of. cant wait til this comes out
