Square Enix&#8217;s upcoming remake of the Super Famicom RPG received a livestream today, featuring the director of the original and producer of the remake, Takashi Tokita, and the now-legendary composer of the original, Yoko Shimomura. And in that stream, we got a handful of new trailers that each show off one of four different time periods.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve already seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2022\/04\/live-a-live-switch-remake-shows-off-prehistory-and-imperial-china-in-new-trailers\">Prehistory and Imperial China<\/a>, so these next four will be new to anyone not familiar with the game. One thing to say, though, is they all look <em>amazing<\/em>. Thanks to Square Enix Asia for posting the English trailers!<\/p>\n<h3>The Wild West<\/h3>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"_FZNN-J1pAQ\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>This scenario stars a character known only as Sundown, or The Sundown Kid, and it&#8217;s likely that this is set around the 1880s. And my gosh, if Clint Eastwood were to ever star in an RPG, this is it. And it looks like there&#8217;ll be a few chances for a good old fashioned showdown.<\/p>\n<h2>The Middle Ages<\/h2>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"X1tbY0XzLmU\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Set in Medieval-esque times, you&#8217;ll control Oersted, a knight (and silent protagonist) who is on a mission to save the princes. He&#8217;s joined by three others to save his betrothed but is eventually tricked by the being who kidnapped her \u2014 the Demon King. This one looks the most similar to a traditional RPG, but this is also the eighth chapter you can play. You have to beat all seven others before unlocking this one.<\/p>\n<h2>The Near Future<\/h2>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"0ncqrnw29PE\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Motorbikes! Robots! <em>Actual roads! SUNGLASSES!<\/em> If this was the near future in 1994, then why don&#8217;t we live like this now? Starring Akira (yes), a teenage orphan who lives with his sister, you&#8217;ll need to find out why a gang is kidnapping people. There are shiny 3D robots and a lot of close-ups of eyes, so this feels like a really cool pixelated interactive anime or mech movie.<\/p>\n<h2>Twilight of Edo Japan<\/h2>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"nsIRXbaOi2c\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>As a trainee ninja, Oboro-maru can progress through his scenario in two different ways \u2014 the traditional RPG way of combat, or by sneaking around. He must rescue a person of political importance despite his inexperience, but desperate times, hey? Whether you choose stealth or combat, it won&#8217;t stop you from gaining experience points, which makes both options sound pretty tantalising.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>During the stream, the presenters also showed off the game&#8217;s brand new soundtrack. Yoko Shimomura has supervised the rearrangements herself, and the CD launches on 27th July \u2014 just a few days after the game.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3010\u767a\u58f2\u6c7a\u5b9a\ud83d\udce2\u3011<\/p>\n<p>2022.7.27\u767a\u58f2<br \/>\ud83d\udcbf\u300eLIVE A LIVE HD-2D Remake<br \/>Original Soundtrack\u300f<\/p>\n<p>\u30aa\u30ea\u30b8\u30ca\u30eb\u7248\u306e\u30b3\u30f3\u30dd\u30fc\u30b6\u30fc\u4e0b\u6751\u967d\u5b50\u6c0f\u76e3\u4fee\u306e\u5143\u30ea\u30a2\u30ec\u30f3\u30b8\u3092\u65bd\u3057\u305f\u697d\u66f2\u3092CD2\u679a\u7d44\u3067\u53ce\u9332\u2757<\/p>\n<p>\u203b\u53ce\u9332\u697d\u66f2\u306f\u300e <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%96%E3%82%A2%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%96?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30e9\u30a4\u30d6\u30a2\u30e9\u30a4\u30d6<\/a> \u30b3\u30ec\u30af\u30bf\u30fc\u30ba\u30a8\u30c7\u30a3\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u300f\u4ed8\u5c5e\u306eCD\u3068\u540c\u5185\u5bb9\u306b\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd17 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B79N9BPg5n\">https:\/\/t.co\/B79N9BPg5n<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4DvKAAgTVI\">pic.twitter.com\/4DvKAAgTVI<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/span>\u2014 SQUARE ENIX MUSIC (@sem_sep) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sem_sep\/status\/1527627465983545345?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 20, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>There was also a pretty chunky gameplay segment during the broadcast showing off the Present Day (which didn&#8217;t get a trailer during the stream) a Edo Japan.<\/p>\n<p>The Present Day starts at around <strong>58:17<\/strong> with a fighting game-style select screen. This chapter is all about combat, with no exploration in-between, as you fight as wrestler Masaru Takahara to become the strongest fighter in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Twilight of Edo Japan begins at around <strong>1:07:15<\/strong>, and in almost 30 minutes of footage, we can see the beautiful Edo period presented in HD-2D, and the various ways Oboro can sneak around and hide from his opponents.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the entire event below. The livestream is entirely in Japanese with no subtitles, but there&#8217;s more than enough enthusiasm and visuals to get you pumped up for this upcoming release.
