I think that I speak for most gamers when I say that Sega has really gone downhill since their console glory days. Most gamers (myself included) still get excited when Sega announces a new game. We all put our retro goggles on and think "Finally! Sega is back in action!" Then the game comes out and is decidedly mediocre, effectively crushing our hopes and dreams all over again.
Well, whip out those retro goggles and get excited again for a new DS RPG from Sega: World Destruction. Developed by imageepoch (developers of DS SRPG Luminous Arc), World Destruction is reportedly a turn-based RPG due out late this year in Japan.
Thanks to the attached recent Famitsu article and the official site, we now have some info on the first six characters.
Kirie Ilnis (why do recent RPG heroes all have girl names?) is a young man gifted (cursed?) with tremendous destructive power, though he doesn't know why. He is somewhat timid and pure, and will honestly say whatever is on his mind. Early on in the story he encounters Morte and the World Destruction Committee, to whom he pledges his allegiance in hopes of obtaining Morte's love.
Morte Arshella is a brash, outspoken young woman allied with the World Destruction Committee. She does whatever she deems as "fun," and is willing to take risks. She claims that the reason she wants to destroy the world is because the idea "just came to her" and seemed like the right thing to do.
Agan Mardol is a straight-forward young mercenary who has grown a little cynical due to a slight inferiority complex. He is a childhood friend of Morte, and thus is a little wary of Kirie. However, he eventually takes it upon himself to be a teacher figure for Kirie, and comes to be seen as a "big brother" to him.
Lia Dragnale is the last member of the dragon tribe. Though she looks and speaks like she is about 15, she is actually over 300 years old. She is a fun-seeker and thus tends to get bored of things very quickly. However, she also has a strong sense of duty to fulfill her tribe's mission to participate in both the birth and the end of the world.
Naja Glef is half-wolf tribe, and a commanding officer in the World Salvation Committee. He is of the condescending smart guy stereotype, and is obstinately stubborn in what he believes is right and wrong. As a member of the World Salvation Committee he opposes the efforts of Kirie and the World Destruction Committee, and does all he can to impede their progress.
Finally, Toppy Toplan (clearly the cute mascot type character) is a bounty hunter who, thought he may appear to be an adorable teddy bear, is actually a hardened wanderer who relies on no one but himself. When he meets Kirie, he becomes enamored with his pure nature, and decides to follow him, regardless of what fate he chooses for the world. He has no interest in the politics of the World Destruction Committee.
