Tactical RPG Regalia: Royal Edition Coming to PS4

Here is an overview of the game via PlayStation Blog:

Regalia draws inspiration from JRPG classics, but also delivers a modern mix of good old adventuring and dynamic storytelling. It’s a tactical RPG, but it’s actually a game about the restoration of your kingdom, bonding with vibrant characters met during your journey, embarking on the quirkiest quests possible, and bringing back your best JRPG moments in a modern, accessible style.

It can also be a game about unforgettable, rewarding combat and well thought-out tactics, but that’s for the player to decide – you can always tone down the difficulty level or even skip a battle if you can’t wait to see what other plot twists lay before you.

Skipping battles won’t make your problems go away, though – there’s always something to be done in Ascalia. Deal with your teammates’ dilemmas, such as Theo’s blood aversion, which is a strange problem for a vampire, though maybe not surprising given he dreams of being a hairdresser; or Esther’s tendency to make an atomic bomb with a few gears and spare parts. Oh, and don’t forget about fishing!

Setting out on our journey, we believed a JRPG is not so much about the country of origin, but a style – and we still believe that now, if not even more so. Both the Baldur’s Gate and Final Fantasy series are undeniably what one would consider role-playing games, but it is also clear that they represent very different approaches to the concept. A typical game made in the West has different design sensibilities than one made in the East.

Equally driven by nostalgia, personal tastes, and bravado, we chose the latter.

When you’re an indie studio like ours, with six or seven friends on the project at a time, some difficulties are to be expected. Indeed, to us, the development process was a journey of pain and discovery (mostly pain, though!). For one, we would quickly learn that our initial “let’s just create a JRPG” approach was neither productive nor very satisfying. It’s one thing to nail the required look and feel, to capture that specific quality which represents the J in JRPG… and then comes the time when you realize that’s not enough. You still have to infuse your creation with its own identity, all without compromising that central “love letter” principle. You need to make it more than the sum of its parts.

In other words, while we certainly didn’t set out to change the gaming world, we also didn’t want to make our game entirely derivative of the creations we looked up to. For example, as fans of Persona series, we loved the idea of building character relationships. However, that inspiration did not bar our wish to include some of our favorite things from beyond the Japanese end of the spectrum.

We wanted a touch of Discworld-esque humor paired with a robust approach to lore writing and worldbuilding. We wanted an in-game lore Codex, English voice acting, and so on. We wanted our game to be a familiar yet distinct blend. We had to make it enjoyable in its celebration of its roots, but shed off the elements that didn’t ever do much short of annoying us. This time around we were the creators, finally free to lose some of the dreaded mechanics… and story cliches.

We never wanted Regalia to be a game about brooding youths saving the world, nor an exercise in monologues about fiddles and personal torment. It was meant to be a smaller, light-hearted story that could spoof thousands of similar stories, a creature that the late, great Sir Terry Pratchett would have called “a world and mirror of worlds” – a homage without all the unbound excess. We knew Regalia needed a distinct identity, and that was exactly it.

So, yeah. Our game both is and isn’t a JRPG. It’s a creature of its own. It’s got its own flavor and charm. Like New York pizza that would not have come to be if it wasn’t for its Italian ancestry, but stands well enough on its own and is loved for what it is, not for where its roots go.

Making Regalia was certainly a blast. Seeing our game making its way to where it belongs – to PlayStation, to find its place alongside all these wonderful games, classic and new, that made us who we are and made Regalia what it is – now, that’s a moment of pure bliss.

That Detroit: Become Human game looks promising.

Looks like a Heavy Rain type of game and I really enjoyed that.

 

[Noxia]

I dislike scary games, should i pickup The Last of Us?

Username doesn't fit.. seriously though it's got maybe one or two jump scares but it's not horror by any stretch.

 

[Indigo]

I dislike scary games, should i pickup The Last of Us?

Definitely. Not really a scary game at all. By all means a dark and gloomy setting at times but by no means frightining at all really.

Played this through for the first time recently - great game! More tension than horror, but there’s definitely a couple of scary moments .

It can get quite intense in places and you need to keep your cool lest the Clickers get you!

Very good game, i would give it a go. Can be had cheap as chips in most of the sales.

 

[FoxEye]

Nothing has come through for my PCW order, just a we've refunded you with no explanation.

How did it go in the end?

I've just read that Currys/PcWorld gave FREE PS4 Pros to those who ordered at the £199/£229 Black Friday glitch price.

FREE PS4 Pros :/

Some people have all the luck! Did you get yours?

 

[PiKe]

I call BS.

I'd heard that it was actually a second glitch and nobody got free Pro's. I mean, think about it. Why would a company cancel orders for obviously mis-priced items and then subsequently give away the same product they could have at least broken even on if they had honoured the original "deal"?

Glithces so rarely come to anything these days for the simple reason - the internet. Somebody finds one, tells the world who in turn try to order 50 each and then nobody gets anything.
As selfish as it is - if I ever find glitches I order and wait until item has arrived before I'd mention it to anyone.
The only working glitches these days are the ones you hear about 2-3 days later once it has been sorted out and only a handful (at most) have managed to get the thing.

Ha, I didn't post about it as I thought no one would believe it but yes I was one of the lucky ones.

No idea why they did it that way and they've since changed the way they are doing it by taking off the discount manually but I was lucky enough to receive a £313 gift voucher meaning they effectively paid me to take a PS4 Pro from a store (some extremely jammy beggars got multiple gift cards as they placed more than 1 order).

It's crazy but they said in the email that we could use the gift card on anything so we've done nothing wrong. Just a really weird way for Curry's to handle it but easily the best deal ever put on hotdeals

Congrats, man.

I actually could have ordered (was watching the HUKD threads) but chose not to. Didn't expect anything but a cancellation email.

Normally that's exactly what would happen so I'm not kicking myself too hard. But it would have been nice

 

[Puzzled]

Cheers

I don't think anyone thought they would honour the mis-price let alone do something crazy like giving out gift cards. Very frustrating few weeks though trying to get any sort of answer out of them, especially last week when they started giving out gift cards on Monday and mine didn't come through until Friday, never refreshed my emails so much

Then they stopped doing them from Saturday so the few people remaining have had to settle for the original mis-price which is still a good deal but obviously not as good as free, so that kinda sucks for them. Again no communication about why so any goodwill feelings Currys were hoping to get from this aren't exactly forthcoming, even with what they've done I still think they are a terrible company.
