Phantom Brave & La Pucelle Europe Bound News

KOEI announce plans to distribute the award-winning La Pucelle and Phantom Brave within Europe in 2005…
Strategy-RPG fans itâs time to rejoice, as KOEI Ltd today confirmed that it has entered into an agreement with Nippon Ichi Software Inc. to bring both La Pucelle and Phantom Brave across Europe.
The terms of the agreement originally brought the excellent Disgaea: The Hour of Darkness to the territory, with Steve Marks, Marketing and PR Manager for KOEI Ltd. understandably speaking favourably about the agreement:
âIt is a pleasure to be working with Nippon Ichi yet again. In Disgaea they gave us a AAA title and the feedback we received has proved to us that there will be great demand for these two titles. The two new games from Nippon Ichi fit in extremely well with our brand strategy and both La Pucelle and Phantom Brave will be very valuable additions to our ever-growing catalogue. Both titles are highly acclaimed and we are delighted to be able to offer top quality RPG games to fans across Europeâ.
Following a successful entry into North America, Phantom Brave is set in the year 921, in a world named Ivoire. The game centres around a 13-year old orphaned girl named Marona, who has a special ability to communicate with phantoms.
Phantom Brave promises a unique gameplay mechanic in the shape of removing battle map grids, so that the free-roaming maps allow players to place your characterâs anywhere. In addition, players can create custom characters from over 400 different skills and magical spells; whilst the final game offers over 100 hours of gameplay.
La Pucelle follows on from the success of Disgaea: The Hour of Darkness, with legend warning that one day the Dark Prince, beloved and powerful servant of the fallen Angel Calamity, will rise to cover the world in darkness. But where there is darkness, so must there be light. When the Dark Prince appears, so too will a girl known as the Maiden of Light, servant of the Goddess Poitreene and worker of miracles.
The three rag-tag centres of the world here are outspoken âPrierâ, her little brother âCulotteâ, and their mysterious babysitter, âAlouetteâ. All three are members of La Pucelle, a church-sponsored demon-hunting squad. Of course, not all is right in the world or even within Prier's own holy institution. Demons and the undead roam the world, and it's up to La Pucelle to defeat these wandering souls and purify the land. As the principle character âPrierâ â“ a 16 year old demon hunter, youâll journey through the treacherous medieval Europe in this occult tale of deception and betrayal.
Players can make use of obstacles and terrain features on the battlefield to gain a strategic advantage, whilst attacking simultaneously or in waves of up to eight units.
The game promises over 120 hours of gameplay across 12 enormous chapters, with a multitude of hidden side quests and stages.
Both titles are scheduled for a European release in Spring 2005; weâll have more information soon.
