First Growlanser II details

[03.16.01] » Atlus announces a new subtitle, plus the first story details.

   Atlus today announced the official title of its Growlanser sequel: "Growlanser II: The Sense of Justice." Like the first installment in the series, the title will be developed by Career Soft and feature character designs by Satoshi Urushihara.

   Growlanser's "Real-Time Mission Clear System", which changes each scenario's mission goals based on events in the battle, will return. The game will also reportedly allow for more customization and fine-tuning of party members.

   The story centers on three neighboring kingdoms: Rolandia, Barnshutain, and Lanzak. One year after a devastating war between the countries, an uneasy peace has settled in. But while the protagonist, a young knight named Wein, is patrolling the Barnshutain border, an unspecified event occurs which threatens a new war. None too surprisingly, it's up to Wein to investigate the matter and set things right.

   Look for more on Growlanser II when the Tokyo Game Show kicks off March 30th.
