Bahamut

Seems like Square-Enix are making a new game about Bahamut, the dragon summon. No news on what platform/s though. Some people say it could be a remake of Bahamut Lagoon, the Square RPG on the SNES which was only released in Japan, and a game which most of you have never heard of. I however loved it as a kid, enjoying the full translation by an unknown group (not DeJap). The website has some familiar music though. 4 Days to go apparently.

interesting find, I loved Bahamut Lagoon too, a remake would be awesome.

 

Wow, Bahamut Lagoon was a fantastic RPG. 4 days to go until it is released or more information is revealed Anand?

 

Yes sorry, that was what I was meaning.

 

The picture on the site looks amazing. Wow.

 

would there be a way to copy or download that picture and make it into a wallpaper or something.

i never played this bahamut lagoon game. is it good?!

 

Well since it would be .swf, just extract it using one of those programs. And then you could edit it and then export the image. I don't anything further. Yes, it's fucking good, a legendary game for SNES. And I managed to beat the last optional dungeon.

 

is the game japanese only or is it a fully translated game made by square?!

 

It was only in Japanese, they never released it outside of Japan, a reason why not many people have played it (like you for instance). However DeJap http://www.dejap.com/ did a complete translation to english. You cna download the patch there. And get the Bahamut Lagoon from RomUlation. I remember clearly though when I was younger I downloaded Bahamut Lagoon from a backend source of ROMs, and it was fully translated, but it wasn't from DeJap, it didn't have any logos on the title screen (like DeJaps translation). I would really want to get a copy on this version.

 

Japanese game with a fan translation. I think you'd find a pre-patched copy in the bundle if you download it off the site.

If this game turns out to be Bahamut Lagoon then I'd be quite happy, but I'm not holding my breath on that.

EDIT: Looks like I had good cause to not hold my breath on it.

Hmm, sad (about Legend of Dragoon). I thought it would have been a DS game. I was right.

 

Just skimmed it I'm guessing?

 

Oh no, I was saying that I predicted it would have been a DS game, and I was right

 

on the other hand thats quite a decent looking sword....

 

Blood of Bahamut

Have a look at these screens ->

I think this game looks incredible, RPG's may not be your thing, but you simply must be impressed by the quality of the artwork. (thanks to ds-scene for putting together the screens)

See the trailer here -> http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43955.html

 

any idea when this might come out in english?

 

@crazytuna,
After allot of hard searching and chatting to people the best I can get is that this goes out in the middle of May in Japan(I am not convinced this is correct as one person told me September).
As for a US or EU release, your guess is as good as mine. After talking to a few other people it would seem that there could be some interest in doing a fan translation but without seeing the game it is impossible to judge how difficult/how much work this could be. I am 99% sure this will be officially translated and regionalised but if Square lingers on that you may see a partial fan translation.

I am sorry I don't have more concrete info.

 

no it's fine
thanks for the info dude
let's just hope it comes out early and they don't delay it too much

 

Errr... I thought there was only one "Giant moving thing"... But I guess I was wrong...
