World Destruction

Sega is working on a new DS RPG called World Destruction. The staff involved sounds really promising. Yasunori Mitsuda will be responsible for the soundtrack. Also working on the title are Masato Kato (scenario writer) and Kunihiko Tanaka (character design).

I usually prefer consoles over handhelds, but this title could be interesting.

Yasunori Mitsuda is doing soundtrack?? I am SO getting that game

Any info available about the storyline or anything?

Krelian · 04-23-2008, 11:46 PM

There's no info on the storyline yet. We'll have to be patient and wait for more details. And yeah, Mitsuda rocks! I'm happy to see he's still doing video game soundtracks.

Bummer....I'll be following stories about that game religiously though, heh. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Wonder if anyone else has heard about this...

You're welcome!

1up has more info available now. Unlike in many other RPGs it's not about saving the world, but to try to destroy it O.o More details in the article.

Two new staff members have been revealed too: Masatoshi Azumi (who was the Grandia design director) and Shin Nagasawa (monster designer of Etrian Odyssey). I think it's impressive to see so many big names working on the title. As 1up also notes, the three people I first mentioned all worked on Xenogears too. This could become an awesome game!

Masato Kato + Yasunori Mitsuda = Win. Always.

I'm so excited. Thanks for pointing this out.

You're welcome

I'm glad I could excite some people. Unfortunately there's no western release confirmed yet, but I'm rather positive it'll be released here too. It has to!
