Brave Story Travels to the PSP

Miyuki Manabe’s upcoming anime movie Brave Story will travel coincide with a video game for the PSP and PS2 on July 8. The game is being developed by the studio that bought us the game Genji, Game Republic. Unlike the PS2 version which is an action/adventure, the PSP version arrives in an RPG form, and you will play as the protagonists of the movie, Wataru and his friends to achieve their goal.

Like most of Japanese RPGs, the battle system is turned-based. There is a Brave Power meter that once it gets full, the character can unleash a special attack, similar to the limit break system of the Final Fantasy series. By collecting gems, your character can build a weapon or perform a combination attack with your other party members, which reminded me of the “tech” concept in Chrono Trigger.  So by bringing these concepts together, maybe this will be the strong and unique selling point of this game. I can’t wait to see the game and the movie with subtitles.
