APPLESEED: THE ONLINE! Coming Soon...

Remember GN Japan's Orion Online RPG? Check this out!

APPLESEED THE ONLINE

C)SHIROW MASAMUNE/SEISHINSHA/M2　Supported by BANDAI NETWORKS

This is an announcement for an Appleseed Online RPG! Webplay, no software / startup disk necessary. This time the RPG project seems to be handled by developers called M2. Should be subscription based I think (not sure) but on the downside is its probably going to be in Japanese. Anyway, with the international appeal of Shirow and Appleseed, hopefully the developers would consider something for us English-literate fans? ^_^ Anyhow, great news... bookmark the website: Appleseed The Online. Who knows, there might be goodies once in a while. If Shirow plays a part in this game's development / art & design as he did with GN Japan's Orion previously, maybe we would see some new Appleseed art from Shirow Sensei himself! ^_^ More details if there's any progress.

sTwo-san, thanks! :) & I assume everyone knows what RPGs (Role Playing Games) are right?

::: Updated 25th August 2005 :::

Some pictures & a few links. Looks like it will be open in September 05, subscription 840yen for 30 days play.

So, if this is just like the Orion RPG, does that mean it's text-based, or graphic-based, or what? I have no clue what the Orion RPG was like, and I don't think many people outside of Japan know, either T_T

I love the japanese. It's not "The online game", or "The MMOG", it's just "The online". :P

Hmm, that looks interesting. Too bad it's in Japanese and most likely only accepts Japanese credit cards. (Although I've learned that I could get a JCB credit card since I live in one of the few states that Mitsuwa Marketplace is located. Then I most likely could get the game.) And they do the online RPG the intelligent way- pay just for a monthly service fee and not for the software as well unlike Everquest and that ilk.

Well, still its in Japanese, so I suppose one would need to be real fluent and able to write Japanese on their PC's to play. Text based RPGs is quite old school, but still addictive in many ways. :) If the game programmers ever did come up with a graphical RPG online game for Appleseed, that would certainly be major! :)
