Eternal Ring improved for North American release

[07.16.00] » Agetec listens to the pleas of gamers everywhere and tweaks the first PS2 RPG.

    In a recent interview with the Agetec producers of Eternal Ring, it was revealed that the North American release of the game would be greatly improved upon from the original Japanese version. One of the biggest problems many importers reported was the extremely sluggish speed of the game. The English release will feature a greatly sped up character right from the start. Also, the game's DVD medium will be fully utilized to provide the game with full speech instead of the mere on-screen dialogue that was present in the Japanese version.

    One feature that will not be added is any sort of mapping function. While some players complained about the lack of an automapper, the producers don't want to make the game a pushover, and wish for the players to do their own mapping.

    Eternal Ring is currently scheduled to ship on October 26th, the same day that the PlayStation 2 hits stores.
