Half-Minute Hero sequel on the way

IGN said:

Similar to the first Half-Minute, Second's gameplay takes place in short 30 second bits. But there are some big changes to the formula here. The scenarios all seem to be RPG-based, doing away with the alternative offerings of the original. Additionally, the clock will now stop during some events and when you're exploring the map.

Famitsu introduces five scenarios: Overture, Judgment, Revolution, Ragnarok and Destiny. The game will offer some 90 quests across the scenarios.

If you run out of quests, you'll just have to go online to get more. Second will feature an edit mode that lets you create your own quests right down to the stage layout. These quests can be uploaded to a server to share with other players.

You're damn right about that. I was pretty pumped to hear it.

Let's hope it gets localized — the story was half the charm. I'd import it if it isn't, though.

Ha, I should have known that no one else would really care about this... Now I know how Deuce feels when he sees someone's eyes gloss over when he's talking about Ys.

The first one is still sitting on my shelf in the shrink wrap.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were trying to provoke me, Greg.

Hero 30 Second ups the volume, offering five RPG scenarios and a total of 90 quests. The five scenarios featured in the story mode include the following:

* Hero 30 OvertureYou play as the one-winged hero Yusha. You've been ordered to kill off a monster named "Eight Elements".

* Hero 30 JudgmentThe door to hell has opened, and demons are spreading throughout the world. Yusha, the same dude from Overture, is being pursued by both humans and demons alike. "And then, the battle with the rival who crossed time begins".

* Hero 30 RevolutionIn this school-based RPG, you play as Princess Yushia. The gate to your school opens for only 30 seconds. Yushia and her classmates head off on a fun adventure.

* Hero 30 RagnarokYou play as Yuja, who advances through a world that has been destroyed. Along the way, you'll encounter the mysterious mech #30. "As the songstress sings her song, the god who will end everything descends."

* Hero 30 Destiny"The Hero Castle, which rises up to the sky. The 1000 year battle between the gods, mankind and demon kind at last comes to an end.

"In addition to the scenario mode, the game will feature three side modes:

* Hero WarsA four player RPG battle mode. For Hero 30 Second, wireless play offers new stages and rules. You can play tag match or co-op, and can make use of the stages that you create in the game's Romancing Tsukureeru mode.

* Romancing TsukureeruAn edit mode that lets you create 30 second quests. You can place buildings and land formations, set up events where you converse with townfolk, and make other such settings. The quests can be uploaded to a server and shared with other players.

* Infinite HeroA new mode of play where you continue defeating demon kings over and over again. Each foe has to be killed in 30 seconds, of course.

If this game isn't localized, that will be.... annoying.
