    Project Prelude Rune

    Developed by Studio Istolia

    Spoiler: show


    Square Enix Group, an integrated entertainment company, announced today “Project Prelude Rune”, a new role playing game project, developed by Studio Istolia, a newly established studio in Tokyo.

    Studio Istolia further builds on Square Enix Group’s vision to create new intellectual properties alongside existing Square Enix studios. Hideo Baba who has over 18 years of experience in game development will serve as the studio head.

    Hideo Baba is working as the producer of “Project Prelude Rune” as well. The project aims to build a new RPG with a new fantasy: unfolding across a vast land teeming with life. Nurtured by the earth, the many peoples of this land dare to dream, fighting for what is just—and this is their tale .

    Don't get me wrong, im excited about any new RPG's that aren't mobile or FF shovelware from SE.

    But is Tokyo RPG Factory doing anything right now? I just don't understand why SE is starting another RPG focused studio so soon. Are there tax reasons behind it in terms of giving a tax break to a "new" studio on development costs vs SE doing it themselves?

    Maybe they want each studio to focus on different kinds of RPGs so they can cover more ground? Looking at the trailer this is not the kind of RPG Tokyo RPG factory has produced so far.

    Anything that'll allow the Chrono game that we all deserve to have to come closer to reality.

    Game looks great but the trailer tells me nothing about it.

    With the brakes put on the project long ago, my heart still breaks.

    Nothing wrong with hope, even if I'm cynical beyond repair in my adult life.

    The piece they used for that trailer is gorgeous. Who is the composer?

    I'm really not sure what he was doing. Seems a lot of fuckery around him and Tales/Bamco after Zestiria.
