Pahil p0h plz: Ragnarok Online DS coming to US
Remember when the Japanese version came out and you thought “I’d gladly give my Ghostring card and my +20 slotted weeaboo just to have this come out in English”? Give them to me because I commanded XSEED to bring Ragnarok Online DS to the ‘States and they agreed! Well not really. (They actually beat me to it by reading my mind and claimed the idea as their own.)
Based on the insanely popular Korean mumorpeegee, Ragnarok Online DS is an action RPG on the DS which retains the character designs and feel of the online PC version. You still get to grind killing porings and fabres and stuff as well as change jobs, but understandably the Massively Multiplayer aspect of the original game will be absent. There is still a wireless party feature where you can team up with friends to complete quests and collect items though — yay.
According to details released, “[...]the player takes on the role of the orphan Ares, who heads out to seek his fortune. He runs into a young girl with mysterious powers who has lost her memory”.
Wow. Generic plot is generic.
Anyways, judging from available (and unauthorized) fan translations of this game I suppose it is safe to say that people want this game. So XSEED might be on to something here.
Ragnarok Online DS is scheduled to be released in the US this winter.
About damn time, I say!
