Record of Agarest War: Marriage

[MOONPHASE]

Compile Heart is expanding the Record of Agarest War series with a new game for PSP.

New details about Record of Agarest War: Marriage are slipping out after the game was revealed by a retail listing. The big surprise is former Summon Night staff are developing the upcoming PSP game. A scenario writer from the Summon Night series is writing Record of Agarest War: Marriage's story and other Summon Night staff are on the team too. Compile Heart also hired a new artist named Blade as the character designer instead of Agarest artist Hirano Katsuyuki.

Since the Record of Agarest War games are strategy RPGs and the Summon Night team are experienced with the genre you probably think this is a SRPG. I did, but Record of Agarest War: Marriage uses a command battle system. The game is designed so it's easy to play and one of the main systems is the heroines become more powerful when they lose their clothes.

The game's focus is what happens after you get married. Record of Agarest War: Marriage starts after you exchange vows and follows the player on their honeymoon. Compile Heart also designed a communication system where you can gaze at your (digital) wife while talking to her.

Female Lead Character for 2nd Generation's Story

Compile Heart and Gifu based developer Felistella are creating Record of Agarest War: Marriage. While the PSP title sounds like a dating sim, it plays like a regular RPG… well as regular as a game can be with Soul Breeding.

Just like other Agarest games, Record of Agarest War: Marriage has a multi-generation story to follow. The protagonist in the second generation will be female, a first for the series. Players will also experience "married life" where you go on a honeymoon and spend time with your wife.

Why do you have to get married and have kids? A long time ago, a man fell in love with a Rainbow Girl who came from the heavens. She gave him a Rainbow Sword, which the man used to defeat monsters and eventually became known as a hero. Then a demon king came and wrecked the world. The hero rose up and fought the devil king, but died in battle. To keep his spirit alive, three girls carried his soul to pass down to the next generation along with the Rainbow Sword so one day one of his descendants could defeat the devil king.

Rain is the first hero in Record of Agarest War: Marriage. He's been training to defeat the devil king and he's destined to fail since the game has multiple generations. He can fall in love with Paninya (a dancer who excels in magic and carries an oversized scythe), Farsia (his childhood friend) or Kunka (a catgirl with a childish personality).

While Aksys Games and Ghostlight picked up all of the Record of Agarest War games so far, this title may not come over. Just glance at the official site *while you aren’t at work* to see why.

Record of Agarest War Marriage is slated for release in Japan in July.
