If  Compile Heart was a development company made up of wizards, their main focus of magic would be to make the penis' of gamers dance with delight.  Not unlike Micky Mouse in Fantasia

The title of this post and that picture above do not lie.  That is the bundle package for Record of Agarest War and, as you can see, it does include an Anime Boob Mouse Pad.  You can bet your sweet ass that deserves to be capitalized.

What you are seeing above is the death of Digital Distribution and can very well be the death of Piracy as we know it, and I'm not even a breast man.

This alone should give you a sense for the...ahem...feel of the game.  But underneath it all is a strategy RPG in a Final Fantasy Tactics-esque perspective.  And you can enjoy this all on April 27th when its released in the US.

It also has Anime girls eating sausages.

I will review this game.

    I just know this is going to get people a lot of awkward glances when someone walks into them motorboating their own mousepad....
    Also the game is rated T(for teenies). But the trailer made it seem like at least an M from all those naughty scenes. I'm so confused... :

    I've always wanted a boobie mousepad ever since I saw the one David bought from Japan.

    It just feels like this is an attempt and/or test to reach out to the growing "fanservice fanboy" craze if I can call it such. The only reason why they are trying something like this now is because for a while now, the Japanese mainstream culture is seeping more and more into North America, but not to the extent where you see this kind of thing everywhere. Mostly I would assume because many people still look down on this sort of thing or that people wouldn't understand or accept.

    So.....is the game actually worth playing? It looks like they are making it worth getting but perhaps for the wrong reasons?

    This is a hilarious piece of news, and I thank you Joseph for showing us it.

    And UglyKatsuki, I would say that the reason why this wouldn't be found commonly in the US is because, with this item in particular, a lot of people would find a boob mouse pad horribly sexist. Whilst I agree that its simply harmless fun.

    I also don't understand some people's, David for example, obsession with Japanese culture. I guess a lot of it is based around technology but who knows?

    Will someone enlighten me?

    I bet this went down during the dev's conferences.

    "Let's make an RPG game!"
    "But, there's already a ton of varying RPGs that suit everyone's needs and tastes! Why should we make another generic turn-based hack-n-slash when there's already millions of 'em?"
    "You have a good point...Let's put semi-naked anime women in ridiculously sexy, but awkward poses and make a boob mouse pad, that'll surely make it sell! Regardless of the poor gameplay quality, it'll sell like hotcakes because of the nude ladies! And every 40 year old basement dwelling Otaku nerd knows that's the closest they'll ever get to the touch of a woman, especially the boob mouse pad, boy will those things take off!"

    And why not stop at the boob mouse pad, market some USB fleshlights while you're at it. Sales for this game would SKYROCKET!

    You forgot about the body pillow case that comes along the limited edition. Just letting ya know. 50/60 bucks for all of that and including the game? I think it's pretty much worth the trouble.

    Well, from what I've heard from people who played the Japanese version... it's a rather unremarkable JSRPG.

    The game is made was developed by Compile Hearts/Idea Factory, so if you've played either Generation of Chaos or Cross Blade, you'll probably know what to expect out of it.

    Aksys sure knows how to make their CE's, though.

    Fuck, I didn't mean to say Chaos Blade.
    I meant, Cross Edge.

    I think I'll have to buy this if only for the sake of ensuring that we get proper extras bundled in with our special editions in the future, no more of this three page art book crap.

    That and being able to rest my weary wrist upon some soft Japanese cleavage.
