PSP Fanboy review: Dragoneer's Aria

New Dragoneer's Aria vid shows how to summon help
Dragoneer's Aria is looking more and more entertaining everytime we see it. With the lack of high quality RPGs on the PSP in the past, is this a title you're interested in picking up?
Dragoneer's Aria an "epic" departure for Nippon Ichi

To help create the "epic" feeling that NIS is trying to achieve, they hired some high-profile talent for the game. Juno Jeong, artist of Lineage II, is contributing his art to this PSP exclusive RPG. In addition, "the number one blog idol in Japan," Mimika, will be singing the game's theme song.
Getting killed by demons in Dragoneer's Aria
Oh silly RPG explorer. Don't you know that fighting demons gets you killed? Watch as this hapless GameTrailers player rushes headlong into a dungeon and gets quickly destroyed by a single fire demon. The video seems to demonstrate some classic RPG stylings: is it refreshingly old-school, or is it boringly formulaic? You decide.
First screenshots of Dragoneer's Aria
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.

NIS & Hitmaker team up to make Dragoneer's Aria
More Nippon Ichi news this morning. NIS and Hitmaker are working together on a new RPG called Dragoneer's Aria. In the game you take the role of Valen who is a novice dragoneer. He is tasked with protecting the elemental dragons from a dreaded evil monster. The game focuses on friendship and has a good chance of having a dragon or two in it. NIS and Hitmaker first got their relationship started when NIS released Blade Dancer for PSP. The mutual respect has resulted in this project. Dragoneer's Aria will satisfy PSP RPG fans in July.
