Sacred Blaze: Playing God
Flight-Plan, the developers behind the Summon Night series and Eternal Poison have been showing off their newest title in the works for the PS2 entitled Sacred Blaze. The game is a tactical RPG at its core, but features some pretty unique battle elements and awesome character design.
The player assumes the role of god and at the start of the game chooses whom he or she wishes to guide with their godliness. There are two choices, each with their own story and supporting characters:
The dashing blonde knight on the right is Aleksheed (??????) and he is on the side of Law. He is the prince of a territory known as Ojen and he asks for god’s help fighting off the invading forces of darkness.
The raven-haired girl on the left is named Kiyora (???) and she is on the side of Chaos. She was a princess of Karashya kingdom, but it was overtaken by the forces of darkness. She asks god for help in getting revenge and regaining her crown.
Depending on which side the player picks – Law or Chaos – different units will be available to ally with. For the complete list (including master/servant relationships) check out Famitsu’s page on the game here.
Each story character is a “Master” who is able to command “Servants” which the player, as god, can conjure. This includes naming the Servants and in some cases adjusting stats. The Master character receives various bonuses for each Servant he or she has under their control. Attacks may be executed with up to 7 total Master/Servants for maximum damage. As god, you control character development in terms of abilities, stats, tactics, etc.
Here Serubina (????), the white mage on the side of Law, prepares her army of familiar white cats.
Sacred Blaze is slated to be released February 19th of next year in Japan. Since many of Flight-Plan’s games have been localized for Western audiences, I don’t doubt we’ll be seeing this title next year. It’s strange to think that PS2 titles will be coming out well into 2009…
I like when games give you some input on how the story will proceed. It’s safe to say I will be taking up arms with the Chaos side. I love Kiyora’s character design too much. In fact I like just about every character, but in terms of the story and the main character, Chaos wins no contest. Sorry Blonde guy.
