Last month, we unveiled NIS and Hitmaker's newest RPG, Dragoneer's Aria. The concept art looked a bit edgier and darker than usual PSP RPG fare. While we were excited to see a RPG on our handheld take a slightly more mature approach to the genre, we're admittedly disappointed by these new screenshots of the game, provided by Degenki Online. The graphics look primitive, with blocky character models and barren environments. The game is due out soon, so it doesn't look like this game will have the chance to improve much before its release.
[Thanks, Saigon!]

you know what's really primitive? FFI. *sighs*, seriously, this at the point where I'd play just about any RPG game. I tried Vahalla Knights, that game was terrible, but I am sure a lot of people loved the combat system.
Just bring some RGA games please. If this game plays well, I could really care less if it's blocky.

I think they look ok. I'm crossing my fingers that those are separate scenes from the natural world. You know, battle sequences. Which never really need gorgeous backgrounds.

I'm dissappointed that graphics are this big of a deal to some people. Sure, it would be awesome if they were really nice but does it really matter to the point where you won't give this game a chance when you've only seen screenshots? Graphics can make a game unplayable but these seem absolutely fine to me.

seriously, if this games can fix all the problems that is in Valhalla Knight, I will buy it in an instant. Better gameplay, more interesting missions and more open world.
I could care less how great the graphics is, just ask the 5 million Japanese who bought Pokemon Diamond how much graphics really matter to them.

Not a good screenshot at all... but it's too soon to make any judgements about the game itself. Maybe the gameplay's cool, maybe it looks nice in motion, who knows? I really miss playing a good original RPG on my PSP, so I'll keep a little hope for this one... since there's a long way till Crisis Core and Brave Story's release.
