Phantom Brave: We Meet Again in stores

NIS America’s Phantom Brave: We Meet Again has been shipped to retailers nationwide. Phantom Brave is Nippon Ichi Software’s first Wii title incorporating a free roaming style battle system and an anime influenced character design and story. If you have never played an NIS game before (where have you been?) Phantom Brave is a turn based strategy RPG that incorporates unique battle styles and a hardcore character customization system.

 Players can create units from a number of monster/ghost categories and power them up to their liking. Like the Disgaea series, Phantom Brave is designed for the hardcore RPG fan in mind, offering a skill and RPG system that lets you create characters capable of doing massive amounts of damage using a combination of unique skills and high levels and the game’s oddball mechanics.

Look for the game in stores now.

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again delayed slightly

NIS America announced today that the release date for Phantom Brave: We Meet Again has been pushed back to Friday August 14, 2009. The reason for the change, according to NIS America, is due to unexpected delays related to Wii disc manufacturing.

“Our goal is to provide good games and keep gamers happy,” said a company spokesperson. “Therefore, we will work our best to deliver Phantom Brave to the retailers before 8/14 if possible. We apologize any inconvenience we may have caused.“

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again is a turn based strategy RPG that incorporates unique battle styles and a hardcore character customization system. The game is based on the PS2 title Phantom Brave.

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again coming August 11

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again will be released on August 11th, says NIS America. The reboot of this odd, wonderful strategy JRPG will come packaged with a digital art disc containing more than 30 artwork files, 100 character illustrations, 60 background artwork, and more. Phantom Brave: We Meet Again features improved graphics over the original PS2 version of the game, English/Japanese dual voice over, four all new chapters, extra items and skills, as well as a new character named Carona.

In case you’re unfamiliar with Phantom Brave, the game is a turn-based strategy RPG that incorporates hardcore character customization system and unit creation from long list of monster/ghost categories. There are two main phases to Phantom Brave’s battle system: Confine and Battle. Carona, the protagonist of this game, can summon ghosts and monsters as battle units to fight for her but she must “confine” these souls in to objects on the battlefield like rocks, plants, and items. Depending on what object you use as the host, the stats of the units you summon will greatly differ. Some units become stronger when confined to certain objects, so knowing your spirits’ characteristics becomes a very important strategic element.

Look for Phantom Brave: We Meet Again in a few weeks.

Phantom Brave We Meet Again Announced

NIS America announced that it plans to bring the popular Phantom Brave game, originally released on the PS2, to the Wii in June of this year. It’s no Soul Nomad, NIS, but it’s a start.. In case you don’t know, Phantom Brave is an open world turn-based role-playing strategy game that was originally released on the PS2 in 2004.

Phantom Brave lands on a new console with added features and extra chapter stories including all that was available in the original PS2 game. The Wii game will have all new chapters that further evolve the storyline, improved graphics, a redesigned user interface, new items, new characters and brand new skills. What is not clear is whether or not the game will simply use the Wii Remote as a gamepad or if the game will support function they system’s motion sensing technology. Honestly, I think it’s doubtful that a whole new control scheme has been implemented to support the Wii, but we’ll ask NIS for a bit of clarification on that.
