New Far East of Eden - Ziria [XBOX 360]

[JoeQuaker]

So what do you guys think of the new Far East of Eden - Ziria Xbox version? I don't own the console to play it... but I like the PC-Engine version.

It looks pretty wild in the screenshots...

I never did much of anything with the PC Engine versions other than load them up, take a look, and go, "Ooooh, aaaaaaaah. Weird Japanese game with pretty colors in the cinemas..." then go play or do something else.

Anyway, that shot looks nice. We need more along with a review.

No more oldskool 2d DW-style Ziria.. 

[JoeQuaker]

Yeah I'll admit, it kinda made me sad in a way too. Heh-heh

So far, it's the one game that has my interest in a 360.  That's not to say there aren't anyother games that could be good, but, this is the only one that stands out, & as usual, it will probably never get an NA release   I remember when it looked like Konami was going to release Namida over here....then again, I remember when TTI was going to release Manji Maru over here.  I'm still ever so slightly hoping that at the very least, we'll get Manji Maru over here for the DS, but, even that I just don't see happening.  I want to play these games in english

I've yet to even have the time fully enjoy this game in Japanese... I'm sure one day the time will come for an English translation.

Perhaps one day I'll play this new version of Ziria, but for the time being I'm not investing in newer consoles.

Hey Joe Quaker, did you try Tengai M Manjimaru in japanese on gamecube ?
It seems so difficult to play. so ?

I wonder if Hudson or RED found the original documentation of Ziria or if it is just completly remade?  Hudson stated back when the PS2 and GC TGII came out that it was not possible to remake Ziria as all the PCE version's documentation was lost.  Ziria and DoA4 are the sole reasons I am very slightly interested in the crapbox 360.


I bought the PS2 remake of Tengai Makyo II and it is OK, but the cheap 3D graphics suck and the anime scenes are not enhanced over the PCE version which is also extremely cheap to say the least.  I wish they had beefed up the graphics 2D style, like an enhanced version of SS Tengai Makyo but with the original style battle scenes, not the Saturn version's.  Another thing about the remakes is they are dead easy compared with the difficulty of the PCE versions.

Well I bought it on ebay. I am waiting it now.
So I hope I will be enough good to finish it... (i don't speak japanese)
Oh can I use the PCengine walhkthrough for that game ? (it's a remake)

[Game_Hunter]

You may be able to use the PCE walkthrough, it depends on how much was changed/added to the new version.  I would be interested to know how compatible they are.

Screen looks pretty.  I'd try it out if it was ever released here and I actually get a 360.

[Seldane]

In case you didn't know -- this game will be released in North America.

[JoeQuaker]

Didn't know that. That's unexpected. Well I don't own an Xbox but would like to play some day...

Wow didn't know there was a Gamecube version! I don't think I've even sat down and played this in the Duo yet. Think it's about time to wipe the dust off...

This game and senko no ronde are the only XBUX3SUXTY games that interest me at the moment.

[JoeQuaker]

Yeah everything I read about the Gamecube Far East of Eden game says it's horrible, so will be skipping that one
