I know a small segment of watchers enjoy JSRPG's so bear with me. Agarest: Generations of War was released on the XBOX 360 last year. Now thanks to a studio called Ghostlight Ltd it's being ported to the pc with Steam Greenlight. It's there mission to bring more JRPG's to the pc worldwide.

At the dawn of time, the world of Agarest was plunged into a terrible war between the forces of good and evil. Entire races fought and died for their divine masters, ending in the total destruction of the world. The victorious Gods of light unified their defeated foes, creating a new world and sealing their broken bodies into an eternity of darkness.

With the ancient wars fading into distant memory, all have forgotten the evil slumbering beneath their feet, but the darkness remembers. It watches. It waits. The seal that held the evil for aeons is fading and war is again raging among the Kingdoms of Men.

Leonhardt, an officer in the Gridamas Army is disillusioned by the brutal war against the races of the Frontier. Coming across a young elven girl about to be killed by his men, Leonhardt betrays his own nation, selling his soul in an attempt to rescue her.

Now, Leonhardt must become the first to cross the continents since ancient times on a quest to defeat the forces of darkness and renew the seal. The dark road ahead is paved with betrayal, death and sacrifice, but the light of love and companionship will guide him on his journey.

Well, the features checklist looks great but the graphics.... they're doing all this fan-service near-porn stuff then give us sprite based graphics?

It looks like there were three games in this series - and all got pretty weak reviews.

It's your typical fanservice in many PC JRPG games. I agree it might be racy for some, but there goal is to bring other games also. It's a niche product for sure.
