I must admit that I get more drawn to the game with every new screenshot or video. This just might turn in to Sony's killer app at launch. That is, if the gameplay is worth anything.

The Story

Quote:June 21, 2006 - On October 17, 1849, Frederic Chopin, one of the most influential composers for the piano, succumbed to sickness and died at the young age of 39.

Three hours prior to that, in the world according to Bandai Namco, Chopin, crouched on the floor of his hospital, saw a dream. The dream had anime characters that looked like they were out of a Tales game and a world that looked like it was pulled from a fairy tale. In the dream, people carried about their lives like in the real world. But in the dream world, people with incurable sicknesses had magical powers.
Bandai Namco's new Xbox 360 RPG, Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream ("Chopin no Yume" for the Japanese version) takes place in this dream world. Chopin (yes, the composer) comes into contact with Polka, a young girl who resides with her mother in the village of Tenuto (the names, you'll find, are all musical terms). Polka is near her death, meaning she's got some crazy powers. Unfortunately, people believe that by touching her, they'll be infected with her koodies, so Polka's not particularly popular.
Trusty Bell is the story of Chopin (yes, the composer), Polka, and a Allegretto, a 16-year-old who steals to eat and lives for only one thing: to help Polka.
If Trusty Bell were called Tales of Something-or-other, no one would complain. The game has the absurd premise, peculiar names and colorful artwork of Namco's biggest RPG series. Plus, musical composition is being handled by Motoi Sakuraba, of Tales of fame.
Trusty Bell will also feature a battle system that's heavy on the action. Details are scarce, but based on the screenshots currently circling exclusively in Japan's Famitsu magazine, the battle system supports three characters (including an unknown male character called Beat) and features some sort of combo system. Allegretto makes use of a sword as his primary weapon while Polka, being a cheery girl character and all, resorts to an umbrella.
Music and story look like they will play a big part in Trusty Bell. Bandai Namco has drafted famous Japanese actor Leo Morimoto to perform narration for the game's Japanese version. Performing the piano numbers that Chopin left to the world (before having his RPG dream) will be Russian pianist Stanislav Bunin.
Trusty Bell is in development at tri-Crescendo, a studio that worked on the sound components of tri-Ace titles like Radiata Stories, Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile and also worked on programming, sound and the battle system for Baten Kaitos, along side Monolith Soft . The game is currently without a final release date in Japan.

We are THE FUTURE!

Hey folks... I have a laptop with no seconday numerical digits... i.e. that for number keys, it only has the top row, and none on the right-hand side. Now, as a French major, to get the extra accents and all, I would normally pull an Alt-0169, etc. for what I need, but without the seconday digital keypad, I cannot... but there must be a way...

Help me, Tendo City, you're my only hope.


Best regards,

Barry

Old, but funny...about Killzone...

more on the way I'm sure...

Why am I seeing this being shouted EVERYWHERE and people finding it hilarious? Am I missing something? It's even infected TV at this point, and I just have no idea what's going on.

From the unclassified portion of the document, it is evident that there was and is a significant amount of Saddam's stockpile of WMD's that still needs to be accounted for. This also verifies the report of terrorist IED's having traces of mustard and sarin nerve agents in 2004.

It's been a great month for Americans!!! The time is now, and the place is Iraq. Much better than the alternatives that idiots like Kerry, Reid, Mertha, Gore, etc. would have brought upon us by cutting and running.

I dislike Bush on immigration. I disliked Bush on the Dubai ports...but on the war on terror, tax cuts (6 million new jobs in the last 3 years), and judge nominations and he has my FULL support.

I wish they'd start doing the Space Quest games too, but I'll take what I can get.

Got the chance to play one in a store. Disappointed. The texture doesn't feel like what it looks like. I expected the feeling of PURE GLOSS. It just feels like regular plastic, like my 360 controller.

Review site A: The screens now touch when you close the system, it's a good thing because it prevents something from getting between the screen and scratching either one.

Me: LIAR! Did you even try to test out that hypothesis? Here's another possibility: closing it when some small thing on it you didn't notice actually GUARENTEES BOTH screens will be scratched, HARD. Before, if it was small, no worries.

Review site B: Instead of those terrible clicky buttons the original had, now it has the same buttons as on the GBA micro, which are softer.

Review site B (back when it reviewed the GBA SP): Instead of the soft unresponsive buttons of the original GBA, the new SP has more clicky buttons which are much more responsive and feel just plain better. I'm surprised they didn't think of this earlier.

Me: Way to be hypocrites guys!

Makes me want to vent pure tabasco sauce, which is my BLOOD, in these guy's open wounds which I will inflict with my HAIR! Too bad I don't bleed because that's just how awesome I am!

I checked out a women at walmart today with her young son, below is there exact conversation.

Child: Can I have this candy?
Women: Do you think you diserve it?
Child: I don't know...
Women: You can't have the candy unless you tell me..
Child: (hesitates and slups away) I don't know...
Women: Ok, put it back...
Child: (Slups) I think I deserve it..
Women: Thats right! You've been good all day so you can have the candy.

Jesus Crist lady!!!!

We can thank here for our next killing spree, the kid was only like 4 years old..
