ParnOh, so this is a remake of the original sora no kiseki 1st chapter?

I've stopped following the news of the kiseki series for quite some time now. I don't know how far they've gone to in this game universe. Or have Falcom finally run out of idea and decided to remake the series with better graphics? I actually quite like the original graphics. Looking at the trailer, these new attack animations could easily feel repetitive very quickly.

kongaThe 2D art of the original is rather plain and unremarkable by modern pixel art standards (or even by the standards at the time it first released), and it can be a tough sell for newcomers of the series.

OnasiIMO, this current “generic anime” look they are going with on their new engine isn’t really an improvement pound for pound. At least when I look at their older sprite+3D background based games like Ys on the Napishtim engine or Trails in the Sky it does evoke old Falcom. Since Cold Steel they kinda went very generic. Arguably the most visually interesting game since was Monstrum Nox, and that game wasn’t an inspired looker either. I say all this as a big Falcom fan, but they do need to get their art side of things in order.

kongaThey are still publishing new titles in the franchise at a shockingly fast pace. Seems like every 18 months there's a new game. I know some people who are skeptical of this remake because it's "unnecessary," but I believe Falcom wishes to appeal to a wider audience. The 2D art of the original is rather plain and unremarkable by modern pixel art standards (or even by the standards at the time it first released), and it can be a tough sell for newcomers of the series.
