From the publisher
Hudson Soft Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Hidetoshi Endo)
proudly announces the release of "Tengai Makyo
III: Namida" (hereafter " Tengai III" ), the
latest addition to Hudson's largest RPG franchise,
Tengai Makyo (Far East of Eden), a series which
already boasts over two million units in sales.
The new title, available for PlayStation 2, is due
to hit stores on Thursday, April 14.
Along with the Tengai III regular edition, Hudson will release a
limited-edition version, "Tengai Makyo III: Deluxe
Pack," featuring five exclusive Tengai bonus
items. The regular edition will sell for 7,800 yen
(7,429 yen before tax), while the deluxe pack will
sell for 14,800 yen (14,096 yen before tax).
Set in the fictional, yet distinctly Japanese world of Zipangu, the
Tengai Makyo series traces sprawling fantasy
storylines, in a pure Japanese role-playing
environment.
The latest title in the series takes place on the Kyushu-inspired
island of Tsukusu, and centers on a love story
that develops between the amnesiac title character
Namida and the heroine Ichiyo, all the while
exploring a wide array of interpersonal
relationships, and elements of Japanese folklore.
Tengai III is a masterpiece: its breathtaking
scale and quality - from the loveable,
idiosyncratic characters to the fully
computer-generated cut-screen movies, featuring
stunning renderings of Japan's (Zipangu's) four
seasons, to the strategic depth of the battle
system - truly raises the bar for the RPG genre.
The music, which forms the backdrop to the new title, was composed
by Kazuhiko Kato and performed by the world-class
New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, under the
direction of Yutaka Sado. The title track, "Namida
(When Firebirds Cry)," is dramatically rendered by
world-renowned soprano Sara Brightman.
Story
For many years, the people of Takachiho Village in Tsukusu,
western Zipangu - said by some to be descendants
of the race of Fire - lived in peace in their
island country. One day, a boy called Namida
washes up on their shores, stripped of his past
memories. He is rescued by a girl named Ichiyo,
and the two grow up together as brother and
sister. But on the night of the yearly festival,
the seal of the Holy Mirror bursts open,
unleashing the evil Ami spirits it had held
captive. The whole of Tsukusu is thrown into
chaos.
Having learned his true destiny, Namida sets out to rescue Tsukusu
and his beloved Ichiyo from the Ami. And Ichiyo
comes to learn something of herself as well: her
power over fire. What is it the Ami want? And what
does fate hold for our heroes at battle's end?
All-Star Cast of Voice Actors Bring Characters,
Cut-Screen Movies to Life
Tengai III features a host of
loveable characters: Namida and Ichiyo's friends
include the mysterious Tsugumi, a twin-pistol
kunoichi, Ushi Bouzu, a stern but kind-hearted
caretaker of orphans, Toubei a master swordsman
who holds keys to Namida's past, the catgirl "Miya,"
once rescued by Namida, and the strange haniwa
statue Tonkaralin. Their enemies can be just as
endearing: from the perilously, beautifully
bewitching Shanne, to the speedster Idaten, the
cast of Ami characters comes with just as many
quirks.
The all-star cast of voice actors includes Takahiro Sakurai as
Namida, Noriko Hidaka as Ichiyo, Chisa Yokoyama as
Tsugumi, Rumi Hiiragi as Miya, the famous kabuki
actor Shunen Ichikawa, and many more!
The game's fully computer-generated cut-screen movies, appearing at
key moments in the storyline, render the
characters' expressions, as well as the four
seasons of Zipangu, in all their splendor and
beauty, lending another level of depth to the
title.
Advanced Battle System, Plentiful Mini-Games
The new title features a command selection-based battle system.
Combine regular moves with secret techniques, to
unleash devastating attacks capable of knocking
out larger opponents, as well as whole groups of
foes. Tengai III's strategy-focused battle system
delivers intense head-to-head action.
The game comes loaded with a variety of mini-events and mini-games,
including the "Dejima System," in which you're
free to create your own towns, and "Ogre
Coliseum," a 3D action game that pits you against
a hundred ogres.
For Reference
About the Tengai Makyo Series
Designed and produced by Ouji Hiroi, the Tengai Makyo series
was launched in 1989 with the release of Tengai
Makyo Ziria for Turbo Grafx CDROM, the world's
first major RPG to appear on CD-ROM. At a time
when most thought the CD-ROM was poorly suited for
games, Tengai Makyo Ziria integrated features that
couldn't be put on other media, including
sprawling maps, animation, real-voice narration,
and CD-quality music. With a score from Ryuichi
Sakamoto and an all-star cast of narrators, this
epoch-making title revolutionized the role-playing
genre.
Set in the fictional Japanese world of Zipangu, the game brought
adventure, romance, comedy, and drama together in
a single epic storyline. In addition to the main
role-playing titles, the series came to include
fighting games, featuring characters from the RPGs.
The main RPG series was conceived in three parts. The second in the
series, "Tengai Makyo II: Manji-Maru," was
re-released in 2003 to an astonishingly warm
reception, selling over 300,000 units. "Tengai
Makyo III: Namida" is the latest addition to the
series.
