Hello everyone!

First of all, we'd like to apologize to all of you that we couldn't start the preorder for Soul Nomad earlier. We are deeply sorry if this late-start preorder causes you any inconvenience or distress.

The preorder for Soul Nomad & the World Eaters has started at the RosenQueen store!
Soul Nomad for the PlayStation® 2 system will be released on September 25th.

Let's see what's so cool about Soul Nomad!
 
General Information
Soul Nomad & the World Eaters is the latest strategy RPG from Nippon Ichi Software. It has a grid based map like Disgaea®, but has a more intuitive battle system.

Story
The continent of Prodesto. The grueling war has finally ended, and one man has unified the land. The harmonious empire stood for 10 years, before it crumbled once more and Prodesto returned to a state of bloody war. Layna the Firebrand, the greatest mage of all time, has found a hero who can control a possessed onyx blade. The hero with the blade goes out into the world to regain the peace the world once held.

Battle System
NIS strategy RPGs always have 4Cs, which are: Cool, Crazy, Customization, and Catastrophic! Soul Nomad has all the C elements, and also has a new feature in the battle system. As in other strategy RPGs, you decide who attacks with what skills and such, and then execute the attacks. The difference with Soul Nomad is that when you execute the attacks, the screen goes into a side view. This allows you to watch the attack in detail.

CustomizationCustomization is one of the most important elements in a strategy RPG, don't you agree? Soul Nomad lets you customize a room, squad, characters, and so on.

As you play through the game, you will unlock more rooms, and each room has specific characteristics. So, think well, and decide which one to go in. However, there is "Auto Setup" if you aren't sure what to do. So, no worries!

 

Gig... so who's Gig anyways?
Well, Gig is the leader of the World Eaters that almost destroyed the planet 200 years ago. He is feared by all as the Master of Death and the God of Destruction. However, he was almost killed by Layna, who then sealed his soul in an onyx blade. He now wants a physical form of his own. He grants his power to a hero in exchange for the hero's body. (Gig Edicts) You play as the hero or heroine. Yes, you can choose either to be a hero or heroine in the beginning of the game. Eventually, you must borrow Gig's power to defeat your enemies, but be careful... if you rely too much on Gig's power, his power will gradually destroy you... Gotta have smart, wise trades with Gig!

Hero & Heroine
 

Characters
There are various characters in Soul Nomad, and each character has different strengths and weaknesses. It depends on the strengths and the attack range of the characters and where you want to place them. For example, you definitely want to place magicians in the back instead of the front line because magicians have a long attack range.

What's more?
You won't believe what Soul Nomad lets you do... You can rob, attack, steal, and tickle the town people! You are supposed to be a hero, but we suppose NIS has a different kind of definition for heroes... Some say... anything is possible.
