And it's somewhat relevant to a Phantasy Star message board, because of Phantasy Star III.
Massive Chalice, a new Kickstarter-backed project by Double Fine Productions, will be a multi-generational tactical RPG in a fantasy setting, scheduled for release next year.
In the game, you determine the fate of your bloodline, whether you keep your heroes on the battlefield until they die, or retire them to start a new generation of heroes. You pass on unique relics to your descendants, and you can permanently alter your bloodline by performing magical experiments on your heroes.
I am uber excited about this game! I'm such a big fan of smaller, independent game companies like Double Fine. I'm a little surprised they're going with a traditional fantasy RPG... no, make that pleasantly surprised, because they could bring something new to the genre. It seems 2014 is going to be a good year for new releases!
