The kingdom of Valentine, once a powerful nation with a special relic known as the "Cauldron", reigned supreme over other kingdoms with its immense power. Then, suddenly, something went wrong. The enigmatic disaster destroyed the kingdom overnight.
Ringford (The Fairy Kingdom) and Ragnanival (The Warrior Kingdom) now fight a war to determine who has control over the Cauldron and the remains of the kingdom of Valentine.
In a neutral kingdom, Titania, King Edmund is being controlled by an antagonistic sorcerer known as Urzur. Urzur's intentions are clearly ill; he makes an attempt to make an ancient prophecy called Armageddon fulfill itself. The prophecy maintains that the world will be laid to waste in five cataclysmic events, but whomsoever survives will be renowned as a king.

Maybe that's not the best storyline in existence, but it certainly sounds promising. And if that's not enough, it's worth it to highlight the gorgeous look of the game. It features some very detailed sprites. Any individual screenshot below looks like a work of art with its own merits, ne?









This game is Odin Sphere, an upcoming action RPG from Atlus and Vanillaware. The game is a successor to Princess Crown, an obscure PSP gem that never received the gift of localization in the North America and Europe. Odin Sphere, however, is heading to English-speaking shores eventually. The release date for the US is May 21, 2007.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I've been eyeing this game for a while now (if only because of the absolutely delicious looking graphics). Action RPGs are right up my alley, too. Hearing news of a translation makes me extremely happy as well, so I can't wait to hear more information or see some gameplay videos of the game. It certainly shows promise at this point, but in the coming months we'll have to see if it lives up to the potential it's showing at the moment.
