Found: game that stokes my gaming love like I were a kid again (56K Death) ST V

Or Sakura Taisen V.

In terms of gaming, this was like a dream come true for me.

I've been anticipating this game's release for a long, long time now, much longer than I've anticipated a game before (at least in recent history).

In terms of Sakura Taisen, I'm a relative n00b as I've never bought a true Sakura Taisen game at launch. The only games I can say I did that with are Sakura Taisen V: Eps 0 (an action game like Dynasty Warriors) and the Sakura Taisen 3 PS2 remake. Neither were new additions to the Sakura Taisen "series" so to speak.

So in anticipation of the game's release, I preordered a copy of the limited edition Show Time Box from Red Entertainment using Masato/M-World Services. Here is a link to the version I purchased. This version came with all the stuff from the Show Time Box, along with some Red Entertainment/Sega Direct exclusives.

Here are some pics of the stuff I got:

Here's the box it came in (2 copies, one for me, one for Now Loading):

They even went so far as to make a custom tag for the t-shirt:

Here's the controller. It has the ability to plug head phones into it instead of playing music through the speakers. It is a Hori controller with turbo, but has the Star Group's logo in the center:

Continued from above:

NOW for the limited edition stuff that only comes with the Show Time Box via Red Entertainment (Sega Direct gets the disc and ticket book, but not the poster).

And the Show Time bonus
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...STV/stdisc.jpg

So I popped the Show Time bonus DVD in my DVD player before trying out the game.

The disc contains various video clips, including a montage of previous Sakura Taisen games, interviews with the voice cast, information on each character and the mecha they use (called Stars in this game, instead of Koubu) and a couple promotional videos.

Watching through it actually had me getting kind of emotional, as this was the first time I had felt this kind of excitement over a new game in YEARS. Remember the feeling you used to get on X-mas morning, opening that game you've been dreaming over for months, ever since you asked your parents (or Santa) for it? The release of all your expectations when the wrapping was removed and you finally had the object of your desire within your grasp? That was me this morning as the mail man dropped off this majestic beauty.

What was even more amazing about this feeling was the fact that it carried right on into when I finally took the plunge and dropped the disc in my Japanese PS Two.

Here are some pics I took with a digital camera during game play:

So there you have my first chapter's worth of Sakura Taisen V pics.

I've never heard of this gayness. What is all the fuss about? :kekeke:
Cool, I guess, if you're a happier person.
Is this like some Jap cartoon? I did like that you mentioned a beat'em up like Dynasty Warriors. Link to that plz. :kekeke:

I also wrote up a review, after playing through the first chapter, on another site, so here it is, copy and pasted for your reading enjoyment:

As far as my initial impressions/starter review here it is:

Setting-

The game takes place in New York in the late 1920s. You play Shinjiro Taiga, Sakura Taisen V's equivalent of Ohgami Ichiro from Sakura Taisen 1-4. The majority of the main character's time is spent off screen and without spoken lines. You are part of the New York Kagekidan, or New York Playhouse. Sanjiro, thus you the player, are the commander (well, not in the beginning) of the Hoshigumi or Star Division. Your job is to protect New York City from the evils that ail it.

Gameplay 5/5-

The majority of the game takes place in the story mode as I call it. Story mode is almost the equivalent of a dating sim by all accounts. You walk around in the streets of New York, stopping by different locations and speaking with different people. When you meet a main character, sometimes during the dialog you are asked a question or are required to take an action. This is the heart of the game, the LIPS system. Depending on how you answer the questions, the character with whom you are speaking will have their friendship meter go up, down or stay the same. When the meter raises you hear a "happy" tone and when the meter goes down, a "sad" tone. You'll know them when you hear them.

Also during these conversations you are sometimes given an active role before you give your response. One such piece is the Analog LIPS reply. On an Analog LIPS reply, you press the control stick up or down according to how you wish to make your answer. Sometimes the top reply is the "right" answer (assuming you want the friendship meter for that person to raise) and sometimes it's the lowest point, and other times somewhere in between.

The other type of response is the Action LIPS. These responses require action to be taken on the player's part in a fashion not unlike Simon Says. Depending on how you perform, the friendship meter for the person you are with will raise, lower or stay the same, just as it does for the other LIPS replies.

The other piece of the game is the Strategy/Battle mode. In this mode you take control of the Hoshigumi and attack your enemies in a turn based RPG type system. There are many actions to choose from. You can walk, attack, perform a special attack, perform a combination attack, heal yourself or a partner, build up your Spirit Meter, guard yourself or stop your turn. Later in the game Shinjiro obtains the ability to protect a member of the team from attacks. This guard raises the character whom Shinjiro is protecting's friendship towards him. It also prevents both Shinjiro and the recipient from damage from the attack, which is especially useful on enemy's special attacks.

The Spirit Meter is a very important part of battles. Without your Spirit Meter being high enough, you can't perform combination attacks or your character's special attack. Depending on the action taken, different levels of Spirit Meter are required. Combo attacks take on a bit of the meter, while Special Attacks eat and require the entire meter to be filled.

The Hoshigumi and the bad guys take turns until one side or the other is finished.

There are also occassionally things with which your characters can interact with on the battle field, be it to restore some health or hinder the enemy.

Something added to this game is the flight ability. Basically the Star (the Star is the ST V equivalent of the Koubu) transforms and take flight. The fighting options are the same, with the exception that you can freely move up and down on the field of battle.

Graphics 5/5-

During the main part of the game, the story mode, when speaking with a character you are looking at a static background with a character in the center (or at least on screen). The backgrounds are well drawn and detailed. The characters themselves are also well drawn and detailed.

While going from LIPS section to LIPS section, you take to the streets of New York City running from apartment to apartment to the theatre and so on, in glorious 3D. The world is rather detailed, though people on screen tend to be static to non-existent. What is there is beautifully drawn and nicely detailed.

The battle sequences take the cake in terms of graphics. The areas are highly detailed and the assorted mecha move smoothly and are also highly detailed. The Star designs work really well.

One big part of all Sakura Taisen games is the in game video clips, and this game is no exception. The animation is done by Anime studio Madhouse. Each movie is finely crafted and smooth. There are some anamolies from time to time with the movement of 3D animated objects, but I lend this more to the methods used than a problem with the animation.

Sound 5/5:

Perfect. When you first pop the game into the PS2, you are presented with the Hoshigumi in grand fashion. As with all other Sakura Taisen games, there is a well animated intro that plays to the different group's theme. Sakura Taisen V has this as well. The opening theme is catchy, but in my opinion not quite as catchy as Sakura Taisen 1 or 3. Call me nostalgic.

The in game music meshes perfectly with the on screen action. Tanaka Kouhei shines yet again.

Conclusion/Final Score 5/5:

I've waited a long time to play a new real Sakura Taisen game and what Sega and Red Entertainment have provided is a great game that, while excruciating, was well worth the wait.

With character designs by Fujishima Kousuke (previous ST games, author of Ah! My Goddess) and written by the amazing and imaginative mind of Hiroi Ouji, this game is a pure gem.

It takes a lot to get me excited about a game these days and this is one of the rarities that held my attention for months on end prior to it's release. When I first popped the game in and saw the opening movie begin to play, I felt a stirring of emotions. This is what I wish every gaming experience was like for me, but alas, it is not. This game helped me recapture the feeling I used to get when I played a new game as a child, something I lost quite a few years ago. It's a magical experience.

For anyone with the ability to understand Japanese or a desire to play some interesting battle sequences, I can't recommend this one enough.

Instead of looking at it as my being a "weiner" look at is a gamer getting a game they really love. I'm sure someone will come in and call me "teh gh3y" or some shit, but whatever. Just think of it in terms of gaming and not what the game is.

Sakura Taisen V: Episode 0 is a game similar to Dynasty Warriors in terms of game play mechanics. You can get it from NCSX though Play-Asia has it cheaper (except their site seems to be down at the moment)

Any actual screens of the battles in the game?

so confused :conf:

After being gaming apathetic for over 24 months, I've found a game that broke the apathy. Sure, I'll go back to my apathy once I've completed the game (probably a couple times), but it was a ncie feeling to have again. I had forgotten the "new game on X-mas" feeling since it's been so long since I've experienced it.

It's rare I'll be excited enough about a game to create a thread about it. Even when it's something so "Japanese centric" that will get people to ridicule me I felt the need to post.

I just thought that being gamers, gamers could understand my feeling. ;)

i always was enthralled with the Sakura games, but i never endulged due to the heavy japanese.

It's pretty heravy jap i bet huh?

I really enjoyed the sakura taisen games on the saturn. I had a lot of fun with them. Congratulations on the package and enjoy it.

Goddamn, if the game's half as good as the package, it should be really impressive.
That set is quite the labor of love.

Yeah, it's extremely heavy on the Japanese. I don't do all that well with the written stuff (I can muddle my way through a lot) but I catch the majority of the spoken stuff. Thankfully with the advent of more space, they've added more spoken dialog to the game. lol

Just about anyone could play the action game, Sakura Taisen V: Eps 0. There are LIPS (the interactive dialog stuff) scenes in it, but you can skip by them without too much worry as they don't affect game play that much. And once you finish that game with Gemini, you literally only play the regular stages with the other characters; there are no LIPS sections to the other charas.

Well, this game is just like the games you played on the Saturn, though the battle sequences are done using the ST3/4 battle engine (ARMS I believe it's called). I like this system more than the Saturn system. And they've tuned the system since ST3/4 and the PS 2 ST 1 remake, so it's really good.

And thanks. ;)

Sakura Taisen games aren't for everyone. For all intents and purposes they are dating sims with strategy RPG style battles mixed in for good measure.

And no, I don't like dating sim games, yet for some reason these strike the right cord for me.

You are sooooo teh gh3y. Anyway, how is the difficulty on this one? I thought ST4 was way too easy. Also, that is a fat batch of swag.

Jeff

For a $130 you sure got what you paid for. Looks good. Totally not interested in the game though.

Very nice pictures. I'm not a huge fan of the Sakura Taisen series, but I liked seeing the production effort on this set anyways.

I've only gotten into one battle, so honestly, it's not easy to say one way or the other.

It was a beginner battle, you know, the ones where they show you the basics? Over all it was fairly easy. If it's anything like the remake of ST1 on the PS2, then the battles will be middle of the road in terms of difficulty. It also hinges on how the women view you, as the lower their love meter thing is, the poorer their stats (just as in previous games).

The cool thing is that you can pull off combo attacks at any time, assuming your Spirit Meter is high enough, instead of wondering if/when a combo attack will take place like it was with the ST 1 remake.

After shipping from Red to Masato, paying Masato's deputy fee (a deputy service really was the only way to get the Red Entertainment poster) then from Masato to me, it came to... ~$220. Had I bought from Play-Asia, the only online store that seems to be carrying the Show Time Box (NCSX hasn't gotten stock on it yet, so I have no idea what the price will be), it would have run ~$200. I guess you could say I paid $20 for the poster, but it was worth it to me. ;)

Considering how much some people have paid for Neo carts here and elsewhere, I don't feel TOO bad paying lots of money for my addiction. It's the most I've ever paid for a DVD/CD based game.

As far as not being interested, it's all good. It's not for everyone.

Oh, and be sure to check out the Engrish on the tickets... Cleopatra is Cleopatla. LOL

Totally underwhelming. But I'm sure it will appeal to a huge audience . . . like, .0000000001% of the gaming public. Should sell millions of copies . . . :kekeke:

I'm too busy *fapfapfap*ing right now to type a worthwhile post.

Just like our good friend chimpmeister.

Nice package, congratulations -

That controller looks really nice

I am sure Now Loading will be proud ;)

Seeing as how you're the only other person in North America to buy this game, I'd try to save face if I were you, too . . . :annoyed:

You'd be very wrong with that assumption too.

itd be really cool if this game was in english.

Seeing as how ST2 is one of only two games to sell over a million copies on the Saturn (VF2 is the other), and the ST games are getting a release over here due to heavy demand, and the fact that each game that has been released has ranked in the top 3 during it's release week in Japan, and all importers are sold out of the initial shipment, I would have to say you are as ignorant as usual.

Why don't you crawl back into your hole and stay there? Nothing has changed since you popped your lightsensitive no pussy-getting snout out of your cave last time. It's just the same as ever, no one here likes you....still.

All you ever do is insult other peoples tastes, must be easy to do when you have nothing else to live for old man :emb:

Haha, no. Funimation has no clue what they are talking about. Or was ADV. Either way they have no clue. Hiroi Ouji himself said it wasn't going to come out in America any time soon (or ever, arguably). The game is way too Japanese. (ie: racist)

P.s. I read your post on your forums. "dorkus"? wtf man. I've got nothing against you.

Congrats on the Game NL, I know you've been looking forward to this one for....well forever.

Great Package.

That controller looks like SEX.

When it comes to buying and enjoying a game, there's only one person I need to worry about being happy with it, and that's me. If it doesn't sell to people in the US, so what? That's not my concern. And we are on a forum for the Neo Geo. Like it ever had a million seller?

My post wasn't to get people to BUY the game. I'm sharing my excitement over a game that has gotten me back to where I used to be when it comes to gaming. People here may not be able to appreciate the game, but I'm sure they can appreciate the excitement it created for me.

FUNimation's claim is that the games ARE coming. When asked again at the most recent Con, they said they weren't bringing them out but they have confirmed with the licenser (Sega) that they are being released. No time frame given.

Is it true? Fuck if I know, but it would be interesting to see to say the least. They should at least give ST V:0 a try.

As far as being racist? Well, I guess they DO have a lot of racial prejudices going on in this one at least. I mean, Sagitta is black and her lips are fairly well defined. I can't tell if they want it to look like she's wearing lipstick or just has big lips. I'm aiming at lipstick, since for the most part she's wearing some pretty business like outfits.

And qube's "doorkus" was an attempt to get me to sell him your copy, nothing to get upset over. ;)

Late 1920s, New York.

A play troupe called the New York Kagekidan moon lights as a combat troupe fighting evil.

You play Taiga Shinjiro, a relation (nephew I think) to Ohgami Ichiro, the male lead from Sakura Taisen 1-4. His job is to lead the 5 females of the Hoshigumi (Star Division) against the forces of evil.

You have story mode where you run around talking to people and raising the girl's love for you (think dating sim), then you have battle mode where you control the Hoshigumi and defeat the enemies (think a sort of semi-action Strategy RPG. Semi action 'cause it's still turn based, but it requires you to manually walk around and press the buttons to attack and so on).

cool I guess,

the game doesnt sound fun one bit though

but congrats!

You were one person I expected to say something ignorant. Thanks for not. ;)

I don't expect to sell the game to anyone here. Just wanted to share some gaming excitement is all. Like when people go to a birthday party to watch a kid get really excited about opening gifts.

Nice to see you've found a game you can really get into again, it's always a good feeling when you find the right game that you really just enjoy playing.

Hopefully it won't be the last one either. :)

Congrats on your find

If i could read jap id be totally over that game

Looks like a really nice package

That's actually Hanagumi Taisen Columns for the Saturn. It was a fun puzzle game, regardless of how people feel about the characters.

The DC Hanagumi Taisen Columns 2 was much better, IMO though.

Puzzle games are few and far between and good puzzle games even further apart. And generally the concept is questionable at best for these puzzle games.

Thanks. It's been such a long time I'd forgotten the feeling. I guess the only sad part is that it's not a new "style" game, it uses the same basic system as previous ST games. No real innovation, but I'm still OK with that.

I'm sure there will be other ST games to be released, so I have that to look forward to, right? ;)

I'm sure someone will eventually have a translation guide for it, or at the very least a layout of the LIPS sections and a detailed description on the battle menus and such. If that's what a person went into it with, however, I couldn't recommend it. There are less expensive ST games out there if you want to give it a try. The remake of Sakura Taisen 1 on the PS2 can be found inexpensively and the translation guide for the Saturn version, while missing a chapter (the date with one of the Sannin Musume), is still usable if you need it.

Chapter 2 appears to be the Harlem focus. I'll let you know how racist it plays out later on this evening when I get home from work and can play again. The chapter seems to do with Sagitta's background as a lawyer (at least they didn't make her homeless and jobless, right?). I don't think it's as bad as you're making it out to be, but we shall see. ;)

Again, it's not for everyone. If everyone in the world were the same, the world would be pretty damn boring.

As far as posts like this, I'm not nearly as excited for Mushihime-sama (blasphemy, I know) as I was/am for this. HOWEVER, if no one else decides to go buck wild with pics of the LTD ED toy thing (which doesn't look nearly as nice as the OST one from what I've seen), then I'll take some pics of that and more pics of the screen like I did above. Taking pics of the TV gives questionable results, but I don't have a video input on my PC to make proper screen caps.

Actually, I'm kinda glad nothing has gotten me this excited in a while, since I'd be beating down my Photobucket's storage limit in no time flat!

How is the controller that came with the box set. I am thinking of purchasing one separate.
