Sega's Shining Ark RPG Revealed for This Winter
posted on by Sarah Nelkin
Sega revealed on Thursday that it will release the Shining Ark role-playing game for the PlayStation Portable this winter.
The "RPG that connects hearts" revolves around a young man named Fried (pronounced "freed") and a girl named Panis, voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya (Polar Bear's Café's Penguin, Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei's Nozomu) and Houko Kuwashima (Slayers Try's Fillia, Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan-'s Kaguya) respectively.
Fried, a resident of the island of Arcadia, finds a girl in danger and saves her. The girl named Panis then recovers thanks to his efforts, and his freshly-baked bread. Although Fried thought it would be very difficult to get the villagers to accept her, they eventually agree to let her in the village. Soon, Panis begins to show signs of mysterious powers: her singing voice can make plants grow and gather birds and fish around her. The villagers, seeing this, called her an "angel." However, there are those who come to the island who target the angel, and one day, on the night of the red moon, a large shadow appears to attack Panis.
The game will also star Mai Aizawa as Shannon, an elf who works at a bakery, and Tetsu Inada as the warrior Zynga.
