May 12, 2004 - Konami briefly unveiled the next North American Ys title today, Ark of Napishtim. If memory serves, Ark of Napishtim was actually a PC Japanese RPG, but we're all so very tired now, we nearly mistook Craig for a human being, so chances are this could be totally new, but chances are slim.
According to Konami: "The Ys series is one of the most beloved RPG franchises of all time and tells the story of the adventures of the red-headed hero, Adol Christin. In Ys: The Ark of Napishtim, Adol embarks on his greatest adventure as he explores a solitary tropical island in the great vortex of Canaan. Adol battles with three magical swords imbued with elemental powers to uncover the secrets that lie in Canaan's mysterious whirlpools. The game's grand view of the world, distinct storytelling, exciting plot twists and unique characters set it apart from other action RPGs."
Expect Ark of the Napishtim to feature:
Three upgradeable, magical swords.
Real-time, fast-paced boss battles.
3D environments.
Established Japanese RPG franchise backbone.
Enhanced graphics, new CG intermissions, maps, enemies, and missions.
Hidden artwork.
The game looks pretty good. Again, it is a port of the isometric Japanese only PC RPG, so if you're hardcore on importing stuff and already own it, it'll be up to the extras to convince you. If not, Ys is definitely worth checking out. For now, we'll leave you with these few screenshots and a promise -- a promise that we will soon return to explain the extras of Ys.
