I wonder if this will ever be made into an animation.

The clips for the game itself are pretty nice.

At this rate EO fans can probably expect an EOIII Untold by maybe late 2015. But man, the game mechanics are so good it makes me wish these guys would do a Sci-Fi RPG of some sort with a similar system in the future.

You don´t want to watch an anime of this series. The cutscenes are highy skipworthy but the gameplay is very good so i wil buy it again. 5 would have been better though.

Well, there was Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, which used a modified version of the original EO engine.

This is great news. Hopefully the plot is better than the one in Millennium Girl, though. That was the worst part of that game.

That's what I was going to say.

Also, I wish they would give Strange Journey the Enhanced Port treatment.

Because its AWESOME.

Doesn't demons/spirits cancel out sci-fi? Assuming we're talking about hard core sci-fi.

I just completed Lagaard 100% a few days ago, but still this is pretty cool news. Obviously a remake of this was going to happen - I haven't played much of Millenium Girl yet but some of the data saving options give it away; besides, it's profitable and cool for new gamers and old ones alike.

I'll back up the voices saying that EO5 would be preferable, but all in its due time. I'm just glad the franchise keeps getting love in one way or the other, and they'll most likely have my buy.

P.S. Looking forward to animated

Most SMT game combine cyberpunk and apocalyptic horror (screampunk, if you will). If you like sci-fi at all, you'll probably dig most of the SMT offerings (Strange Journey and Soul Hackers in particular). It's sci-fi like how Lovecraft did sci-fi.

What a coincidence. I'm about halfway finished with EO Untold Millennium Girl right now. I'm really enjoying it so I'll be looking forward to the second one.
