Ash

ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat[a] is a 2007 tactical role-playing game co-developed by Mistwalker and Racjin, and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS.

The game was created by Mistwalker founder Hironobu Sakaguchi, who acted as executive producer, writer and designer. Production lasted roughly two years. Among the first projects conceived and announced for Mistwalker, Sakaguchi collaborated on the project with artist Hideo Minaba and composer Hitoshi Sakimoto, who had worked with Sakaguchi during their time at Square. Due to its heavy use of FMV graphics, it was the first DS title to ship on a two-gigabit cartridge.

Gameplay

ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat is a tactical role-playing game where players take on the role of protagonist Aisya and her army in battles against enemy forces, progressing through a chapter-based narrative.

Development

Mistwalker founder Hironobu Sakaguchi was very fond of the tactical role-playing genre and had wanted to develop one himself. While had had created design concepts for them, such as Final Fantasy Tactics while working at Square, he had never been directly involved.[5][6] The game was in its concept stages during early 2005.[7] It was one of three projects being created by Sakaguchi and Mistwalker at the time alongside Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey.[8] The game was co-developed with Racjin.[9][10] Production lasted approximately two years.[5] Sakaguchi acted as the game's executive producer, writer and designer.[11][12] Mistwalker vice president Kensuke Tanaka acted as the producer.[5][12]

The gameplay design drew inspiration from the Daisenryaku series.[8]

Sakaguchi described the game's tone as very different from that of Blue Dragon.[17]

[5]

Because of the high amount of CGI graphics in-game, it was the first DS title to use a two-gigabit cartridge.[17] The CGI elements and cutscenes were created collaboratively by Robot, Shirogumi and Ufotable.[13][18]

Music

The game's music was composed and arranged by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata through Sakimoto's studio Basiscape.[19] An additional track was composed by Isao Kasai of Racjin.[20][21]

[21]

Release

[24]

The title was the third of four projects announced by the company during 2005 alongside Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and Cry On.[14][25] It was planned as Mistwalker's second released project, coming between Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey.[26]

[30]

While an ESRB rating for the game was found, and English voice actors were apparently being hired by Nintendo of America, ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat remains exclusive to Japan. Posited reasons include a lack of success in Japan, and the large size of its DS cartridge.[31][32] A fan translation exists, but is noted for its flawed writing.[33]

Reception

Sales figures were seen as fairly slow given the staff's reputation.[31][32]

TOgre Cling

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together[a] is 1995 a tactical role-playing game developed by Quest Corporation for the Super Famicom. It was later ported to the Sega Saturn (1996) and the PlayStation (1997), the latter released in North America in 1998 by Atlus USA. The second entry in the Ogre Battle series, the story takes place in the warn-torn kingdom of Valeria, where protagonist Denam Pavel works in a local resistance force an neighbouring invader, ending up caught in the ethnic conflicts driving the war and the supernatural powers exploiting it. Battles are turn-based, taking place on grid-based maps from an overhead perspective with a focus on positioning and using character class abilities.

Production of Tactics Ogre, which lasted two and a half years, was begun by Ogre Battle creator Yasumi Matsuno, who acted as its director, writer and lead designer. The storyline was inspired by conflicts in Europe and Asia following the end of the Cold War and how history records war, based heavily in personal and political drama over the fantasy-themed narrative of Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen.

The original version sold 500,000 units in Japan and met with positive reviews. Later ports also met with strong reviews, with many praising its gameplay and narrative. Matsuno left Quest Corporation after completing Tactics, joining Square (later Square Enix) and developing Final Fantasy Tactics (1997). A remake for the PlayStation Portable, Tactics Ogre: Wheel of Fate, was developed and published by Square Enix in 2010.
