Falcom teasing "Project N.O.X" announcement in two weeks
- Thread starter Aeana
- Start date
Damn I wonder what this is.
It looks a lot more 'dark' than their recent projects.
I know Kondo said he wanted to go back to darker themes and projects in the vein of Xanadu Next. Is this it?

Well, since Ys 8 was one of the best Falcom games of all time, I'm pretty excited. I still have some optimism.
That artwork is super gorgeous, interested to see if it ends up being a new IP or merely another saga in some of their more long-running series!
True. I thought differently of TX before it came out.They originally teased Tokyo Xanadu with this
0, this is Falcom we're talking about, they aint breaking any moulds anytime soon lol
Better don't put too much hope.
Falcom has always followed general anime trend.
It's fine to do that 10 years ago, but with the current popular anime, I can't bring myself to get excited for Falcom's announcement.
Actually, the falcom game Xanadu Next was clearly heavily inspired by Nox. Isometric RPG similar in style in a lot of ways, with Metroid-like progression instead.
Wow, I just realized, what if Falcom is developing a new fucking Nox? Kind of like how Falcom developed Rinne, a successor to the Bothtec RPG series Relics.
westwood is dead as hell, but Bothtec went under and Falcom developed Rinne for Bothtec after they stopped making games, so maybe my stupid long shot could actually be possible?

Unexpected image. Not really sure what to think about it - other than that I like the style it's presenting more than anything else they've gone for lately.
Probably the Tokyo Xanadu team anyway, which will likely mean a pretty poor story paired with enjoyable Falcom combat.

Here's the bottom of the image. You can see it as soon as the site loads, before the camera pans upwards, and the image of the girl appears.
Looks like alchemical machinery.
As un-Ys-like as it looks, I still think it's more likely to be the new Ys than anything else. Falcom haven't released more than one new game in a single year since 2012 when both Nayuta and Celceta came out.

Another thought: the mentions of a dream, the truth, a prison, and a cradle can tie into Ys VIII's ending.
Wonder if this is finally the time we can hope Falcom will step up at least a bit with production value.
Anyone else seeing this ...in case added to the end? Are they updating the site with new words?
Edit: mystery solved. It's Google Translate's built in Chrome plugin causing this.

Best to leave now, and never come back. Falcom has always followed anime trends throughout their time and incorporated them in game development, and it won't end anything soon. Heck, they specifically hire otaku of their games, as they feel they are the most passionate and hard working.
What happened? Are you talking about the latest anime trends or something else?
Another another thought.
The girl in the teaser has some similarities to Maia's depiction in Ys VIII. Both are cradling an orb. Maia herself is covered with plants, and there are plants growing out of the teaser girl's orb.
Well the teaser mentions a prison.
It'll probably be a high school anyway, just with bars on the windows or something.
