Just remembered this sweet NIS Title. It was on PSP but it was ported extremely poorly to PC. But, it's pretty epic. Anyone else play it.

Hard to explain. It's a dungeon crawler Action JRPG with uhhh it's called a Magic Circle system and ... Well, I'll have to take some screenies to explain at the mome.

 Here's the magic circle. So the character I'm controlling in the middle and then the ones around it get buffs from the little squares that say stuff like DEF which, in turn buffs the main character I guess. And the positions of things matter in the dungeon part since they will absorb damage first if your attacked on that position. Uhh I'll try to think of more ways to explain while I'm playing.

Also the game is like a pixel art and music composition studio since you can change the art on your character and stuff, either basic or down to changing the walk and run animations and what have you.

And you can change what weapons look like if they have a EDIT property.

 Music editor. Character creation. Character editor. Weapon editor.There's also other stuff like uhh a Relationship Chart editor. A lot of it has no gameplay value so I guess it's for people really into booking there own JRPG stories and stuff.

I will say they were nice enough to have rudimentary mouse support but there's little keyboard support for typing. I think maybe the MML editor thing for the music supports it... I would hope.

Looks sweet as hell, OP.. but the sort of thing that would need a touch screen or mouse control, i think. I mean the customization part.

Also like other NIS games it has "Ran-geons" or random dungeons.

There's also stuff like you take damage while on fire but it sets your attacks on fire too. Or in grass you move slow. And a bunch of other crazy variables to learn about... Pretty deep for this kind of thing if you ask me.

I played the first one on my PSP several years ago, but I couldn't get into it. If you like it, though, I'm glad.

I loved it a lot for a bit there but the traps mechanic is too boring. I think I would actually like to play this in co-op but they only support it on the very first game on psp and that was it right?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKNq8IMR4BM Here's me playing a dungeon for 3 minutes, to better show a typical dungeon. The idea of this one is you kill the cats to unlock the doors so I guess you get the Par time from killing the right colored cat as fast as you can.

When the screen yells WIN! it actually just means you unlocked a door or something usually.

After that I got a cutscene where the chick who looks like the chick from Guren Lagan kicks a sword off the screen and yells at it, and then asks if I need help in dungeons, and then whether I feel bad about killing the monsters.

The game looks a lot better in motion than in screenshots.. the drops and loot look really boring though.

It's already locked at 30 FPS and if you can believe it the slowdown in the video is actually the game lagging. I don't know why it would but, there you go.

Well the thing with the drops is they become more epic on the magic circle grid thing because they interact with each other and the characters and the magic circle has different effects and stuff. Like one I'm using on one of the characters is if you leave sub characters off the grid you get more ATK or move speed, but it means you have less total HP.

No, that's what's on the character if they don't have armor.

  Then the library nerd character started telling me that in fact the whole reason I'm fighting is because this whole operation is actually... Forced Labor! and now the music is ominous.

Holy crap. Now I'm being told that this city hub is actually a dungeon as well, but with no exit, and the music is changing every new dialogue box, from cheerful to ominous to triumphant to a more upbeat kind of ominous...

Here's the magic circles I've unlocked so far for the Saint character:      Here's uhh Kindness:  Then what you do is put the artifacts and stuff you find on the appropriate tiles and you have to do it in sequence  , so the first circle to the left would need an ATK -> ATK -> HP artifact. And they sometimes have effects like Joint. The weapons have effects too but you equip them on the character.Here's one of the effects on this board.
