So i just got a new video game magazine and i saw this page where it showed pictures and said small things about a game called odin sphere, it sounds and looks cool,is comming out may/22/07 can't wait.



Odin Sphere (オーディンスフィア, Ōdein Suhuia?)is a 2.5D fantasy action RPG video game exclusive to the Sony PlayStation 2, featuring five different playable characters.



The nations of Erion had always held an uneasy peace, as the various kings and queens watched each other for any signs of weakness. When the country of Valentine is obliterated by the power of an ancient artifact, it sparks a bloody war between the fairies of Ringford and the warriors of Ragnanival. Little do they know that they are acting out an almost-forgotten prophecy: one that, if fulfilled, will lead to the destruction of the entire world. Take control of the warrior princess Gwendolyn, daughter of Odin, and follow the threads of an intricately woven story as you uncover the truth behind the prophecy – and how to bring it to an end.


On gamespot someone said that it's succesor called princess crown had secret characters, i hope we can play as this frog that is with mercedes(the girl with the crossbowgun) http://www.atlus.com/odinsphere/chara/big/img/big06.jpg
He reminds me of frog from chrono trigger.
Out of all 5 characters only one is a creature, sort of his name is cornilius and he is turned into a rabbit, i dont know how long though.


Gwendolyn
Daughter of the Demon Lord Odin and a Valkyrie princess of the Kingdom of Ragnanival. She is a brave warrior and her name is well known and feared on the battlefield, she has an older sister Griselda who is an even more skilled warrior. Gwendolyn feels she has grown up in her sisters shadow and this has led her to be quiet and reserved, but she will stand up against anyone when necessary.


Velvet
She is the last surviving heir of the fallen kingdom of Valentine. Valentine was destroyed by a magical explosion which is shrouded in mystery. Velvet fled to the forest of Elrit to hide her identity, and became known as the Forest Witch. she now devotes her life to piecing together prophesies in hopes of trying to stop Armageddon. She hates her father Odin because she feels his actions caused the death of her mother.


Oswald
Oswald is feared as the Shadow knight of the fairy kingdom of Ringford, and renowned as a dragon slayer. He was abandoned at a young age and taken in by the nephew of the fairy queen Melvin. Oswald lives to serve his adoptive father and carries out the orders and duties assigned to him with reckless abandon and an unrivaled skill known thoughout the land.


Cornelius
Cornelius is the prince of the kingdom of Titania, a serious young man with a strong sense of justice with views that may be too idealistic for the real world. Cornelius was mysteriously transformed into a beast and taken away from his homeland. He loves Velvet but fears when his journey home is over that she would reject him if she knew what he had become.


Mercedes
As the princess of the Fairy Kingdom of Ringford she was always looking to prove herself to her mother. After her mothers death she works hard to temper her maturity and strives to equal her mother's strong leadership for the welfare of Ringford.



I think i will play as velvet first( who seems like the main protaganist) becuase i think she is the main protaganist maybe not she's a fortune teller, i think the main protaganist is actually gwendolyn.
Although they are all protaganists.
I can't wait for it to come out it looks awsome!,
Although i dont think mercedes should be mercedes, mercedes is more of a city girl name not fairy girl name. I wonder if it can turn into a favorite video game of mine just like, Suikoden,chrono cross,kya dark lineage,malice,beyond good and evil,final fantasy 9,x-2,12, sly cooper series,kingdom hearts 1 and 2, breath of fire 4,la pucelle tactics.
