...which is also known as Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll or whatever in English when it gets released...next year lol.
Well this isn't an entry about the game itself, it's more like an entry showing everyone how biased Koei is when it comes to making premium boxes for GENDER NEUTRALGUY GAMES. There'll be some rages and rants here and there, but lol, come on, we all love Koei, don't we 8D?
So this is basically the size of the premium box lol.
Unfortunately, I don't have my other premium boxes of Koei with me so I can't tell you how it is. IIRC, the width and length is the same, but the depth (or thickness) of the box is different lol. That and the quality of the box sleeve. MY GAWD KOEI WHY YOU PUT SO MUCH EFFORT INTO MAKING THIS ZILL O'LL BOX PRETTY BUT NOT YOUR HARUKA/CORDA BOXES? CAUSE I CAN SO TELL IT'S PRINTED ON FRIGGEN NICE PAPER WITH GROOVES AND EMBROIDERY AND ALL THE GOOD STUFF IN THE WORLD =_=
And to give a general idea of the contents in the box, it includes:
1. An artbook that's like 106 pages, hardcover with a hardcover sleeve OH HAY AREUS U LOOK PRETTY GOOD THERE 8D.
2. 8 postcards
3. Mini OST with 10 tracks
SERIOUSLY WTF KOEI?! YOU PUT IN ALL THIS EFFORT JUST FOR A PREMIUM BOX!!!1
WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE PAST PREMIUM BOX YOU DID?! ALL THE PAPERS USED IN THIS BOX IS LIEK MADE WITH SUPER HIGH QUALITY!!11
Y U NO DO THIS FOR NEOROMANCE!!11 YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
*insert rage*
*ahem*
LOL I took several pages of the characters inside because these pages deserved to be loled at.
LULZ, AREUS.
The tsunderecool protagonist of the game.
...I don't know what else I can say really, except that he'll gradually open up to his "comrades", Dagda and Selene. Yep. LOL.
By the way, the right most expression is labeled as a "smile" expression...but he looks really evil lol.
To be honest, I think he looks better in the Seiryun Chest or whatever costume. That gladiator one is so un-hero like hahahaha.
Up next is Dagda.
He's really adorable lolol.
Areus first met him by taking a quest from the guild master in Liberdom. Well, okay, they didn't meet like that, but the quest is more like having Areus saving some person who went on a guild quest and hadn't return for some time, so the guild master wants Areus to look for that guy. When Areus got to the Charity Springs Forest, he saw Dagda stuck in a trap (or rather, a pit). Then Areus asks why Dadga is stuck there, Dadga replied by saying that he got so hungry so he doesn't have any energy and motivation lulz.
COME ON GUYS, THIS IS ADORABLE.
Then Dadga asks if Areus would like to accompany him to finish the quest, and our beloved tsundere hero goes "as long as you don't get in the way". LOLLLLLLLLLLLL. COME ON NOW AREUS. BE NICE.
And here we have Selene.
SHE'S ACTUALLY FRIGGEN OVER 100 YEARS OLD LOLOLOL. People on a certain Japanese board keep on saying her voice is like an old hag, but come on, you wouldn't expect her to have some sort of squeaky teenager voice right D:?
I like her dress armor costume, it's the most pretty of them all (as of this week's DLC release). So I'm hoping that they'll have more interesting costumes for her hahahaha.
This is Orphaus...lol.
I took a picture of this for
fangirl-ism hahahaaaaa. This is also the guy who said the famous line in the series "自由な旅を" in the original Zill O'll game. AND YEAH HE'S A GUY IF YOU CAN'T TELL LOL. If you've played the previous game, you'll know that he raised Nemea and Kheryuneia lol. He's a rly wundarful guy lolol. It sucks that I don't have the screenshots I made of him when I played the PS2 version, but in there he's pretty sarcastic when Nemea return to him for----I gotta stop before I spoil too much hahaha. But he did said something along the lines of, "I ought to have taught you better than to come home empty handed without any souvenirs for your father."
Oh and the place he lives in is called Feline House lulz. SRSLY FELINE HOUSE. 猫屋敷......FELINE HOUSE. LOLOLOL. I GUESS I WILL JUST UNSEEN IT.
BTW, KOEI, Y U NO MAKE AWESOME GUYS LIEK HIM IN YOUR NEOROMANCE GAMES, HUH? Something that came close to this is Nia in Corda3, and she isn't technically "date-able" (even though you could sorta score an ED with her, but still).
This is Areus' mother, Leticia.
Damn, she's so pretty LOLOLOL.
Throughout the game, you get to find out how she and Areus' father fell in love hahahaha. And people wanna sing about the love story lullllllllllz. But yeah, anyway, without spoiling too much, just go play the game and find out, it's so cute 8D.
The one to the left is Areus' father, and the one to the right is Nemea's mother.
These two are brothers and sisters, so that makes Areus and Nemea cousins. But the game didn't go into detail telling us how old Areus is, or which one of them is older lol. I mean, Nemea's age could be deduced from the material book by subtracting 5, but Areus' age was never mentioned lollllllll.
LOL BUT YEAH THEY BOTH DIED VERY EARLY ON BECAUSE THEIR DAMN FATHER, KING BALOR, DOESN'T WANT THE PROPHESY THAT "HIS GRANDCHILDREN WILL BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA HIM" TO COME TRUE LULZ.
Finally, we have Nemea lol.
THIS TIEM HE IS CLAD IN GOLD.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD LOLOLOL.
In the previous game (which is set 5 years after Trinity), he's wearing black/dark grey armor, but hey, I don't mind if he dresses up as bright as a prince in shining armor hahaha. Speaking of which, he's like the muscular version of Orphaus 8D. Don't kill me lulz. There's nothing much to say about Nemea really lololololol. Cause most of the stuff about him are spoilers for the previous game, so lulz.
There're also around 20 pages of world history and all that stuff the artbook has included after the characters section. BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY KOEI DIDN'T DO THIS FOR NEOROMANCE D:
That and Koei put in a lot of effort into the music scores for this game lol. Not that the Haruka soundtracks aren't good, but come on, you can tell the difference lol. I FEEL SAD KOEI.
YEAH KOEI. SO. COULD U PLEASE MAKE YOUR BOXES BETTER? I MEAN I BUY YOUR TREASURE BOXES BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WITH THIS QUALITY D:
