Shining Hearts announced! + rumors + Bayonetta

[Sega Uranus]

It is hard to tell because all of the new art has no inspiration or creativity at all. Look how all of their faces are the same outside of the guy with the beard. The only major difference is they have different hair styles and colors... Why is it done with such a lazy style? It is so strange, because they are all very detailed too.

I liked shining force's 3 style the most. It was like shining force 1and 2 style with better drawing skills.

I've been searching for all the shining games and i've noticed that the styles differ from each game. I don't mind that and if shining hearts wants to be gay i'm fine with that. But I surely hope it won't be permanent and set as a standard.

I mean look at shining tears

and shining winds

....

While typing this I realised that the style has been used for a pretty long time

The two guys in the center = win. ^___^

But really, I'd love it if these games were full of male characters like Firklin.

Funny how you became such a big fan of the series and its horrible new character designs just when everyone else started voicing their distain for the new art direction.

It's almost as if you’re looking for a way to wind people up...
But you wouldn't do that, not Fuzzymoochicken...

Tony Taka needs to die :evil:

The art's not what bothers me so much as the lack of worthwhile story, not gameplay. One knockoff after the other. Big deal. I personally always thought Sega's RPG department was never brilliantly original with its concepts, so much as its executions. A perfect example would be something like Skies of Arcadia, which was hardly an original game...it just took the concepts of others and made them great.

I don't give a rat's ass if the art is rough. I'm used to it. Phantasy Star, Shining Force, etc always had shitty art in my opinion. They just had very well thought out stories, which made the generic character designs seem better, because the stories made them more memorable.

Have to disagree with you there a bit although half your points are valid. Shining Force art style was one of the reasons it stood out from the rest of the pack. Most RPGs at that time(early to mid nineties) went with the generic 1980's style anime/manga look or the boris vajello style but SF didn't it was suitable to the content of the game which also made it more likely to catch your eye when someone's browsing for a new game. the art the story and game design was essentially the complete package of quality that any gamer would want unlike the lack of care and attention that the new series has in abundance.
The art is just one of the signs to a bigger problem with what's wrong with the series at the moment.

Yeah, I know! ^__^ I really must thank you guys for introducing me to all this cool stuff. If you hadn't started talking about it, I wouldn't have realized that such excellent character designs even existed.

Tony Taka needs to die

That's a mighty bit harsh, don't you think?

What they really need is to get Firklin's designer from Shining Force EXA back.

Whoa, there. You shouldn't get yourself so bent out of shape just because someone enjoys excellent character designs. It really isn't good for your blood pressure. ^^ Want a back massage?

But anyway, the point I was trying to make was that whoever did the designs for SF EXA was better than Tony Taka.

[Sharky]

Stop winding people up...

[STORM!]

"pako" is the name of the designer for EXA. He is good too, but I like Tony more.

 The best artist although works on Camelot, and I think he is exclusive.

 Untill Camelot don't came back, Tony is fine for me.

"Pako", eh? Thank you for this information. ^__^ I'm out looking up his other works now.

I can't agree with your assessment on who does better designs, but at least we can both agree that they've done good work on the franchise.

Where is the Bayonetta news I keep hearing about?
