The involvement of child soldiers in war has attracted global outrage through social awareness campaigns in the new century. This essay wants to collect and analyze this 'in-famous moments' of the brand in the States and in Europe, showing how the prejudice towards the 'japaneseness' never disappeared the same japaneseness that takes roots – and has modified the western aesthetic paradigms since the late 70s – in our western way of thinking, in the modern video-games environment, in our social common sense. Between the other guilty forms of this transmedial or polymedial phenomenon, the most interesting one is the cartoon transposition, which was hardly de-bated among international press in the early oughts. Since its very first appearance in West, the Pokémon popularity, and the journalistic critic, comes from the sociocultural prejudices towards an exotic country as Japan is perceived still today, two years after the Pokémon GO mobile app launch, and after twenty years of healthy brand life, several critics appears and disappears. A Gempei War done in Kessen 1's style would be appealing, though I would like if it kept some of the RPG style equipment or choices that 3 and 2 respectively had, though equipment in 3 was a pain to get.(seriously, I never got past Chapter 4, but to get S ranks on some of the missions while getting all the items already on the map is obnoxious at times.Okehazama anyone?).Pokémon integrates, as a commercial brand, numerous ways to communicate, and it is a fine enter-tainment for billions of people every day, in every corner of the planet, through all kind of modern media channels. I guess there are a lot of other areas to explore.

I would also be open for a game based on Liu Bang, or even on Qin Shi Huangdi. I think it would be much more interesting to do one about Mori Motonari, or to step outside of the Sengoku era and do one about the Gempei War (similar to Kessen 1 meaning the player would chose between playing as the Taira or as the Minamoto). Though the spin-off Mystic heroes was released in europe (don't know if it was released in the us).Īnyway if Koei would ever do another Kessen game (though its doubful seeing how its been 11 years since the 3rd game came out), I think they should avoid making another entry based on one of the three unifiers. The first game was an SRPG and the second was more of an Action-RPG, but none of them were released outside of Japan. Koei actually did Fengshen Yanyi, not in Kessen, but in a seperate RPG series, which had two entries (the first for PS1 and the second for PS2) and a musou-like spin-off called Mystic Heroes. Even the Edo Period has a lot of potential-particularly at the earlier and later ends, when it was so bloody. Imagine a Kessen game that takes inspiration from Yoshikawa's Taiko, or Musashi. And it's not like going back and tackling the same era from a different perspective can't be awesome.

Αναρτήθηκε αρχικά από Arsene-Lupin:Personally I'd love to see them tackle the Fengshen Yanyi.Īs for other periods for Kessen games, specifically, to tackles.

(There was chaos, then there were heroes, etc etc.) They could finally, try out a Mongolian invasion of Japan, which Japan repelled by use of natural weather and ground forces. Why not go outside of the box? The Imjin Account of the Japanese invasion of Korea and the Korean hero Admiral Yi? They could also go the route of the Unification and formation of the Han, which mirrors the Three Kingdoms Account quite a bit. I guess they could also do a more faithful retelling of the Three Kingdoms story, though they've done that many times across all their titles. Or they could do the Genpei or Boshin War.they haven't touched those at all outside of Warriors Orochi and the only game I know of that has explored them in any degree of seriousness is Shogun 2. Αναρτήθηκε αρχικά από Arthogawa:The only problem with a Kessen 4 is that the only time period they can explore without doing a retelling of 1-3 is Hideyoshi's unification of Japan following Nobunaga's death.
