A bunch of Japan’s big names in game development have teamed up to launch a new iOS RPG, Borderwalker.
The credits lineup includes Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII scenario writer Kazushige Nojima, Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy IX art director Hideo Minaba, Mistwalker composer Nobuo Uematsu, and Baten Kaitos character designer Nakaba Higurashi.
According to Siliconera, the game is set in a world that was divided into separate day and night realms by a magician who presumably couldn’t decide if he was a day or night person. Only a hero born during a lunar or solar eclipse is able to move between the two realms and (spoilers) that’s you. Your mission is (spoilers) to put everything back together the way it was.
The game features a battle grid system, as well as dungeon crawling, a completely inscrutable story, and a cast of angsty pre-teens. Okay, I’m just guessing those last two but I’m probably not wrong.
It’s already available in Foreignese on the App Store for the purists, or you can wait out English localisation.
