"Skip would like to extend a warm welcome to everybody to Nanashi Island. The bright and promising developer is working with Nintendo to produce the Gamecube Giftpia, a game the developer says combines “gifts” and “utopia”, hence the name. Along with that comes the first solid details on what the game will entail.
As the developers tell it on the site’s FAQ, the stage is set on Nanashi Island, a place where time flows calmly. Lately, the island has been trying to modernize, so much so that it’s a become a bit… “high-class”, perhaps? ( Actually, the exact word is “westernized,” but I highly doubt the developers meant it as a slight to any western sensibilities.) Well, today is the day the main character, Pockul, becomes an adult, or “The Coming of Age Day.”
However, Pockul is a weak man. He sleeps in on the day of the ceremony and misses it. Now, as Mr. Meyer, the mayor tells him, the only way he can become an adult is to redo the ceremony, or else he will remain a child forever. Not that hard a task, except for the fact that the fee to redo the Coming of Age Ceremony will be 5,000,000 mane ( Giftpia’s supposed currency).
Thus the aim of the game will be to raise the money Pockul is promised to have for the redoing of the ceremony by consulting, co-operating and conspiring with the island’s people. Characters thus far revealed include the blue-haired Kyappi, Pockul’s girlfriend who keeps him in line and who Pockul promised to lead to the mysterious place behind the island after the Coming of Age Ceremony, but now must put off. The aforementioned Mayor is Kyappi’s father and the island’s chief; his wife died years ago. Mappo is a robot who lives to protect the village and aims to become a policeman one day. And then there is Yukio, a goat who wears a bell and um, currently, just looks at you.
And what’s a game without a fancy buzzword these days? Skip is calling Giftpia an “Alternative RPG.” Skip says they would like to present an RPG in direct counterpoint to the mainstream line of gameplay seen in “normal” RPGs, and have worked to make Giftpia something of a counter culture game that aims to open fresh avenues in the heavily streamlined genre. They would like to fill it with a sense of unique style and a profound sense of magic. That may sound like the average PR hype to you, but I’d extend a warning not to overestimate the abilities of this group of people."
En gros,ça dit que vous devrez incarner un jeune homme répondant au nom de Pockul et qui est trés paresseux(comme moi^^)
Dans son village,il y a une cérémonie qui célèbre le fait de passer de l´age enfant à l´age adulte.
Paresseux qu´il est,il loupe la cérémonie.
La seule façon pour lui de devenir adulte est donc de refaire la cérémonie,pour ce il lui faudra 5.000.000 de crinières(j´crois que c´est la monnaie dans leur village^^)
Il vous daurdra donc rendre de mutltiples services aux habitants du village,vous serez soutenus dans cete tache par de nombreuses personnes commme Kyappi,votre petite ami et son père qui n´est autre que le maire du village.Il y aura aussi Mappo le robot le proteceur du village qui ne manquera pas de vous remettre sur le droit chemin si le besoin s´en fait sentir!^^
Le jeu se présente comme une alternative au RPG(genre Shenmue) daus un univers à la AC et dont l´ambiance promet d´être à la fois profonde et magique.
Et bien,ça me fait un jeu de plus à acheter!^^
