Here is another promotional page from the September (it says October since it goes by the following month instead of actual) Issue of Jump Square:

Finally a thread is made for this. I wonder how long it will be before the game comes over seas?
Tch, I've been checking the official site since it came out last month, but they haven't updated anything. Annoys me to hell.
Just one pic is all I'm asking for. Or perhaps I'm just too impatient...?
I think the game is still just being made, which means there wouldn't be really anything on it right now anyway. It annoys me too.

Heh, it's kinda depressing that the website has absolutely no new info on the game, but let me be the first to say that I think the original AB designs for the game look kick-ass! http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/5074/gar2fy5.gif
I'm looking forward to what this game's gonna be about. :D

What's Rigardo's role in the game.
Is he going to be like that mad cow who shows up in every B*rs*k game? Is he going to be the party's breaker who shows up out of nowhere.
Instead using Clare, I prefer to use other characters...if it's the option.
My prefer list is.
1.Flora
2.Irene
3.Galatea
3.Sophia
4.Miria

Hopefully the ghost outfits will be unlockable. Personally I would like for this to be a Metroid/Castlevania type game.
This game is most likely going to be based off of the anime by the looks of things, or it will be a side story. So you probably wouldn't be able to unlock the ghosts outfits.

New image of the DS game with an in-game picture?

So it looks like its going to be a side scrolling game. Thats kind of old, you think they would have been able to think up something better, like a more 3D enviroment seeing how it is a DS. The Bleach games for DS are like that though and they were fun to play so this one will probably be like those.

It looks like it follows the story. That one awakened being is from the Slashers arc, and then the other one looks like Ophelia.
And, those bust things look awesome. I want all of them.
I still want to know who that awakened being is, the one on the website for this game in the backround behind Clare.

That's awesome! I always prefer side scrolling game more than 3D. Many classic games are more fun like that such as Castlevania, Rockman, Mario. :D
Furthermore, I have an allergic to 3D environment. I can't play FPS and also many games with full 3D environment (even if I really want to play them :(). It makes me very headache. If it's 3D, I think I prefer isometric view. It makes me less headache. <_<

I hope ist a bit of an RPG
and the AB on the background im is sure hope not its Claire its seems like a Headless being:confused:to me..:)
But wait and you shall see.
Mabye its head is just really small.:heh: If it is Clare though, I think it would make the game really cool. Mabye there is a what if story and she awakens instead of staying a claymore. That would be cool.:)

The thing is, would they really reveal Claire's awakened form in a game?
Mabye the game will step aside from the manga like it did with the anime. Where the ending with the anime was different. Thats what might happen with the game, we might never see Clare awaken or come close to awakening again in the manga so mabye she will awaken in the game.

I wonder how far the Claymore game is going to go. I was thinking that it would start at where we first see Clare then end in the war in the north then another game will be made. After seeng this picture it might go farther than that.
I think they would have been better off inventing another character and making there own story up it would have givern them more room to do do things, games that try to copy a story to closely from anime and manga tend to not be very good.
Yeah after you play it once you never want to play it again.
What platform is the game in @hell?

Oh! I totally forgot about Claymore getting a DS game. So, is there a trailer for it yet? I can't find one. Hope its not one of those tactical platform. Claymore DS should be more like Summon Night in terms of battle gameplay.
As far as I know the gameplay is sidescrolling.

Apparently the top screen shows the game play graphics and the bottom one is the user control where you choose how much yoki to release and a yoki radar.

The game website has just been updated.
Linky (http://www.dworks-ent.com/claymore/):cool:
Finally its updated, can't wait to play this game on my DS. It looks so cool and I just saw what characters are in the game that you can play as.
Clare
Teresa
Miria
Deneve
Helen
Ophelia
Irene
Flora
Priscilla
Rigardo
Rubal
I was glad when I found out you couldn't play as Raki, mabye its still being updated. I was kind of surprised that you can play as Rubal and Rigardo though.
Its still unknown if you can play as all those characters or it just has them in the game, but I'm really hoping they put Jean, Raphaela, and Galatea in it too. Easly would also be fun to play as.

Are Nintendo DS's region locked to prevent us from playing japanese games?
If I can't play it on the North American system (which I'd be willing to buy to be able to play the game on it), I'll probably be forced to pirate it :(

Interesting! If I choose to release Yoki more than 80% then I guess it's game over or become half awaken. :p

I think I may play as him the most, just because he seems so out of place in the list. :heh: (this is assuming I ever get my hands on the game :p)
Good to see the site finally updated.
It looks interesting.
Yeah Rubal does seem the most out of place, first when I saw Rigardo I thought he was the most out of place, but Rubal, why Rubal? Oh well I'm hoping they put more of my favourite claymore's in to play as though.

I think those are character who will appear in the game. I don't think all of them are playable.
But of all people why no Galatea!?! :frustrated:

I agree - it's outrageous!
Our Goddess is being snubbed by them. Did you notice that Galatea was the only main character not to appear in the opening credits of the anime? Even Riful and Pricilla made the opening credits!
I say this travesty must not be allowed to continue! Galatea must be made into a NPC at the very least (at least careless players could not kill her off like that [be present at the church where you could get health refilled maybe?]).
If our demands are not met, we will have to weight all of our options. Anybody else up for jihad?

Hey, Ophelia rocks. Riful is the one that should be replaced
Galatea had less screentime, hence no spot in the opening.

Galatea deserves to be there, but Ophelia needed to be there too; she too huge a part of the story, not to be there. BTW, if no Ophelia, then Miria would've awakened; she half awakened out of spite.
woah woah woah woah.... apparently there was some sort of Jump Fiesta Con around the 21st and one of the booths had a Claymore DS demo or something.

The ad in the issue with chapter 87 seems to suggest the release of the game will be May 2009 I think...

Haha I just saw that like right now. The trailer looks great, I love all that blood squirting out haha, It just looks too much like a hack and slash game.
Can someone tell me what the bottom screen is for? Is it to regulate the flow of yoki or something? To make you stronger or weaker?
This game looks awesome. I'm defiantly going to import it when it comes out.

I wish there weren't such a game. Fallout 3 sucks. I've never played more stupid game. Oblivion I didn't even want to touch.
As for Claymore game, it looks great. Sadly it's not on a PC.

Ah, you misunderstand, I guess I meant that as in the character customization( if creating your character was an option ), I really want it to be an action rpg though. You can go through and do different jobs and earn new ranks etc...

I gotta be honest and sum my thoughts about this game in one sentence: What's the point?
The manga is not finished: Does that mean it's just gonna change things like the anime in horrifying ways? It's certainly feels that way: Some of the characters you can play(RUBEL?! Does he have an alternate dragon-kin form? XDXD) just confuse me, and I'm actually getting anime vibes just looking at this. You can play as Priscilla for instance....aside from being mentally unstable and showing her awakened form only a few times, what's the point? She's unstoppable to all but Teresa(right now). Weakening her for gameplay purposes just makes it worse.
Maybe it's just because they're isn't enough actual information on it, but I just don't understand where they're going with this and why. The idea of a Claymore game felt cool enough when It didn't exist, but now I'm wondering if it was worth it. Some concepts looks cool enough I guess, (the Yoki bar for instance). Does Yagi even have a say in this game? If he were actually helping it out, then it may turn out to be decent.
.....good grief you can play as Rubel, I can't get over that. If you can play as him of all people, what about the Abyssals? or even Raki? He, who doesn't have any Yoki inside him, could have an interesting battle system of his own.
And the cutscenes....I don't want to nitpick, I know the DS is far from the best in graphical power, but....Ophelia looks great, Rigardo looks okay, Clare and Riful....do not :eek: I guess I just didn't expect the characters to look so bland-looking.
yezhanquan
2009-05-20, 00:31
Unless Yagi decides to do something akin to Berserk's reveal (about the Idea of Evil in the extra materials) in the game. Now, that would change a lot of things.

That's not Riful. It's the AB that Ophelia killed.
Shiek927
2009-05-20, 15:01
That's not Riful. It's the AB that Ophelia killed.
Oh? I guess that makes sense.
But why would that scene be in the game to begin with? Do you play as Raki trying to survive from Ophelia? or do you play as Claire trying to regenerate before he dies? Or is it just going to be one long cutscene until you presumably play as Ophelia killing the Awakened.
Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think the manga just can't be made into a game. Not that it isn't good enough, but their are certain liberties you take with making games and the manga is just too different. When you think about, it's not like their are a whole lot of big battles in Claymore. If this game is supposed to be a side-scroller, you need alot of enemies to fight...but the only real true enemies are Yoma and Awakened....but it's not like theirs an endless amount. It's a big deal when a warrior has to fight more then one at any given time regardless of strength(which is why the War in the North was such a big deal), the designers can't just spawn a whole bunch.
Let's assume for a minute that one of the early levels, you play as Clare hunting Yoma...what, does that mean theirs a whole level where you're just walking to a village? If they make Yoma along the way for the player to fight, it's even stupider and doesn't make much sense.
The only good thing I can think of off the top of my head on why this will be any good is that, assuming they actually follow the manga, we'll be able to see cutscenes beyond Pieta unlike the anime which veered off course. They REALLY need to get creative with this game if it's going to be any good, but I don't have any high hopes.
MisterJB
2009-05-30, 05:00
After you clear the game with Clare, you can play with Miria. I suposse that after Miria, you'll be able to play as Helen and Deneve, and going on...
Sounds cool, I wonder if we can play as Jean?:D
How much does a DS cost and their games? I must get ASAP once its available in the states.
However, IMHO the perfect Claymore game would be like Fallout 3; with better sword combat but like Fallout 3 being able to pause and set up attacks (both moves, where to target, and from what direction to attack from but only if your faster then them or knock them off guard) or playing in Real-time; I hate a lot of JRPGs they never reinvent anything, its always about coordinating a group attack on one over powered opponent to finish them off) and that lets you play customizable characters instead of Clare in multiplayer (if available. I want this to be a game where you play as one character but have allies who you can work with or leave to there own accord. The higher the Claymores rank the better the AI, except in Dauf's case who is just above average AI but with godly Damage resistance and health. There would be an an expansion pack that lets you play as a customizable character in single player mode that lets you choose from one of several stories to follow (like a Deneve, Helen, or Miria expansion but also a Customizable character, who would replace Yuma, LOL in the ghosts (but not be as lame/weak)).
It will be next to impossible to beat someone, by yourself, if there more then a rank or two above you, especially if there awakened. So players would have to avoid combat with higher levels, even if there exploiting you and making you there bitch (like the organization). That is until you gain allies or new powers, its all about biding your time... Also this would force you to be rude to and scare villagers so they won't try take advantage of the "claymore can't kill humans rule"
because if you do get caught, or suspected of killing them, a single digit will be sent after you.
It would have 5 huge maps, North, East, South, West, and Central lands (maybe even one land per disk :D). However here is the twist (just like the manga/anime), if you leave your assigned area for too long the organization will send Raphaela after you, this game has no invisible walls (just an endless ocean) it could take months for the organization to send someone after you but they eventually will find you before your yoki aura disappears. That of course assumes you aren't assigned a mission outside your area in which case your allowed to leave your area, so you might be able to do a side mission or two before you arrive (assuming you aren't slowed down by a human companion, like Raki, whom you haven't left in an Inn but with a risk that he might follow you anyways. Human companions will need breaks and you can't kill them without the organizations wraith focused on you.). That is until you reach Pieta plot wise.
Once you finish Pieta (and your 7 years of training, which in games terms would be like gaining 20 lvls in a short period while gaining a cloaked Yoki (stealth)). Then you can freely explore the world as long as you maintain your stealth, avoid major battles which of course would effect your mental health (in game terms it would translate to your weakening, like Irene, if you avoid going into risky areas for too long and/or likely hood to awaken if you loose focus of you goal/destiny for too long; in short you loss sight of yourself if you avoid main quests for too long thus weakening your will power and therefore awakening would be come more likely if you cross you limit, even though you are a Partially Awakened Being). That would allow the game to gently push you into a fight with the AO's, the organization, and Priscilla; however not fast so you can have fun exploring, which you can still do after the main plot ends. So that way you can kill all the surviving yoma after you kill the organization. All that assumes you don't trigger the main plot at a point after Pieta in which case events will find you.
The story would have multiple endings (based on the players choices, and how will you protected your teammates); Since the manga isn't finished yet we shouldn't try to make Yagi forced into a different ending so it must have multiple endings. Hell this way Yagi could try out a few ideas that he likely has without committing to one. Please note, the dark side of this game would allow you to play as a fully awakened being (but you can only awaken after Pieta, for continuity purposes); like Fallout 3 though you still have a destiny (goal) so all this would change is how you get there. My thoughts on Clare going Fully Awakened (dark side) is a AB that can eat human food but has uncontrollable urges to eat guts every now and then, so she would target evil humans (like bandits) to eat (thus playing on a past hatred of bandits) after he will power runs out but she'd resist as long as possible; however that was just my take on it. However the expansion pack I mentioned would let you go totally evil (awakened) and let you run completely out out of control while on an eating splurge (like Priscilla and other AB, with the consequence of have other AB and the organization targeting you (and town guards, lol)). Then again it takes so long to make a video game of this scale, the Claymore manga might be finished by then...
This game would be available on 360, PS3, and PC (Like Fallout 3 available to all platforms that can support its graphics, assuming next gen consuls aren't out by then). Also note I personally wouldn't want to play as Teresa midway through Clare's story, I'd rather have these be cut-scenes or in the beginning of the game. It's fine having the Teresa arc in the middle of a Manga or and anime but in the middle of a video game I think it would cause you to lose track of your character and rob from the experience. I believe the game should start off with Clare and Teresa being Trainees so you learn skills and the organizations rules, and can have the opportunity to sneak into the organizations record room and learn stuff, Teresa will be interested with the evils done by the organization and once Teresa is dead then Clare's training with Clare being interested in Teresa. It could be done CoD 4 style, where you play as both through out the beginning (back and forth between the two every mission) only with the shocking and violent death of Teresa early in the story and a great cut-scene tying the emotional impact to Clare's character, so the player will understand that they will get vengeance through Clare's character. However then it would be impossible to do Clare's training CoD4 two characters at once style since she would be looking for info on Teresa's death which would ruin the shocker to non Claymore anime/manga fans. However Clare could be the first non training mission and Teresa's training being the tutorial.
The next two sequels would start off with the mainland invading the island with the intent on gaining control of the partially awakened beings (or fully awakened beings who are controllable). Thus having you defend the island, your friends, and fellow Claymores for the first squeal, which would be darker then The Empire Strikes Back. The following game would be you trying to wreck havoc on the main land to prevent a second strike on the island again, this second sequel wouldn't by any means end the story since you and the few Claymores on your side can never beat an empire that controls half the world. :D
I hope I was able to clearly able to translate my thoughts on the perfect Claymore game into these short paragraphs.
Yeah don't expect all that if not anywhere near all that in this game, it is only for the DS after all.:p This game is based off the anime btw, like you said their probably is a few side stories for each character. DS games are usually 29 - 40 dollars on our side of the world lol.

I'm not expecting anywhere near that from the DS game. But I can dream, right?
30-40 dollars for the games... plus the cost of a DS... hopefully it will be worth it game play wise (not fan boy wise, which it will make it totally be worth it ;)).
We should also be able to play with every single characther
Looks like on the website that we only get a handful of characters to play as, but I still hope that I can play as Jean.:D

Nahhhhh, Clare would totally be the man of the relationship, Jean does everything she is told. It's like a dog-master relationship. Helen approached Clare, Jean barked.
I'm kinda glad she didn't met Raki. Things could have gotten ugly.
In the figth against Dauf, you should have to protect Jean so that she could use the drill strike. If Jean dies, Game Over.
Not unless I am in control.:D

Apparantely, the game has just been released, something I wasn't even aware of. Anybody buying or curious enough to try the Rom?
If the text is ever translated and works well with slow PC's, I may attempt. I have DS emulators, but can't actually think of any games worth playing that my cheap laptop can actually run.

not sure asking about rom here is a good idea, since they forbid asking for raws on this fourm, so my guess the same goes for rom too.
On a side note, NDS has a better weak processer, so I wouldn't imagine being too hard on the cpu to emulate it on PC.

Depends on the specific emulator you use and depends on the power of your system: Higher-spec=Faster speeds.
Me with cheap Dell laptop = why bother?

We can't expect much from this game. DBZ's first games also sucked.
BTW, you can see a pic where Clare uses the QS against the six armed AB.

Most DS roms aren't even useful from what I know, so I will just wait until the game comes out where I live, which is probably going to be half a year like most other games.

The rom is out and I am on my way to the first AB encounter ;P.
As expected the game is rather medicore, the graphic is kinda meh, the control is some what awkwarded and the gameplay is quite plain compare to games like Castlevania. But hey it got Clare and Teresa inside so I'd play with even if it is just a sqaure fighting a circle XD.

What's a rom?
Read-Only Memory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-only_memory), but here it means a copy of the game data stored in a ROM chip in the cartridge.

Why am I not surprised :heh:
Claymore simply cannot be made into a video game.
I should have known, but like you said, at least you get to play as your favorite characters.
Can you give us some more information?

Give me 20M$ and 5 year I will pump out a AAA Claymore for ya no problem XD.
Given the time have budget they have I wouldn't be too picky on the game, it is not a game made to attract people who never heard of Claymore but a game for the fans.
About the game, you start with Clare, you whack yomas with your sword, you whack some more yoma, then you whack a boss then some more yoma..... that pretty much sums up the gameplay. There are some speical attack you can do, like quick sword after you meet Irene, and also a spinning sort of attack, I am sure there is more but I haven't found out any yet.
Story wise it follows the manga story reasonably faithly, some minor details were cut but no "creative" content like the anime so far. The Clare game starts with chapter 1 then follows her till northen war. After you beat that you can play as Miria (maybe with different storyline) and unlock more characters(hopefully eventual to Teresa and Irene XD).
I had a feeling each story would only go to the war in the north, well maybe except for Teresa's and Irene's storys.
Anyone knows a good place to get an emulator?
no$gba is the name of emulator I use

Jonova: could you provide us with a link, please?
The first google link of no gba seems prefectly fine to me.
On the other hand, you will also need the bios file for nds for the emulator to run. The bios is IPed by nitendo so the only legal way to get it is dump it off your own NDS(actually I am not even sure that is legal at all lol), of course there are other ways to obtain it but I am just going to stop here :P.
Yeah, I think I am just going to wait for the game to come out, no sense in doing all this other stuff for a game that might not even be that great to play.:eyespin:

It is a great time killer, if you like Claymore that's it. And judging from how much you appear on this fourm, I'd say you do ;P.
After killing some butterfly AB they made up(not Jean) I finished Clare act and moved to Miria act. The game gets better as you get use to the control and be able to dodge enemies attacks and dish out some combos. It seems there are one more playable character after Miria and it is Tersea.

It stinks
See, that's what I was afraid of. I'm not trying to sound like a nit-picking jerk, but honestly, YOMAS are things that don't just pop out of nowhere. Fighting more then one is a big-deal; I know the game designers have to spawn something out for the player to fight, but like I said, Claymore just doesn't have the right material to be made into a game.
What's the point of killing a Yoma in the village if I fight 50 million along the way?

it's just the first game and it's on NDS. Give time to time, one day you'll be playing a 3D game in your pc.
Ryus ideas for the perfect game were quite good.
We should just be happy that it isn't a "beat them up" (how do you write this anyway) game, like Soul Calibur.
While playing as Deneve, is it possible to go around and kick yoma and other fellow claymores ? Or chopping Rubel's head, as Clare and Miria? :D Maybe I'd just lose points. Now these features would be a bonus and encourage me more to buy the game even if it barely looks playable.
This seems like a good moment to drop in with this:

Wait a minute, they're making more? How do you know that?
YES, I'll all up for a game on the PC. Hand-held doesn't seem like a good choice for a game like this, especially with mediocre graphics the DS has to offer. A full 3D world where you are able to walk around the whole continent and complete objectives to advance the story, similar to World of Warcraft or Grand Theft Auto is PERFECT for Claymore!
What were Ryus ideas?

They kinda do, there is never a shortage of yoma to kill in the manga after rbona(or w/e the holy city's name is) act. Clare killed atleast half dozen of them on the way to Riful's nest; there were atleast 30+ of them in the town Irene and others first meet to hunt down Tersea; Clarice and Miata were just hanging out in a forest when like a dozen yoma jumpped out of no where and attack them too.
It is true you don't see much yoma in the manga lately, but that's because there are ABs everywhere to kill now, eg: Clare/Yuma/Cythina run into a random town then there is a AB there.
We should just be happy that it isn't a "beat them up" (how do you write this anyway) game, like Soul Calibur.
Give me a Claymore game with the graphic, the action and the detail of Soul Calibur I'd be happy to beat whatever you throw at me up for a long time :p

I do like it a lot, but it's only a game, and a low rate game at that. So I am just going to wait for it to come out here, it's not worth trying to find an emulator that actually works for the DS, but from what I heard the fan made RPG games made for Claymore were better.

Well, no$gba works, not just for this game and all the other ds games I tried on it, it is pretty much as much as you can expect from an emulator.
As for compare to fan made RPGs, I'd say there is no comparsion. It is like comparing a care you bought at the dealership verus a car you build in your basement with scraps. I have huge respect for people who put in the effort to make fan games as I have tried and still trying to make my own, but from all the fan games I have played I have to say none of them really came close to this one in turns of gameplay or content.This may be a rather sorry game, well actually it certianly is, but it is far better than any Claymore fan games I have played.

She just kills me every time she tries to train me:heh:

You have to use quicksword to get pass that part.
To use quicksword, release your yoki, then spam attack button.

Is their even an explantion what the hell that's supposed to be?
Thank god I wasn't looking forward to this :heh::rolleyes::uhoh::twitch::eyespin:
Well that's not a ball, that's the 3rd stage of an AB, who starts as a pupal then metamorphosis into a butterfly and finally that "ball" thing which I suppose is some sort of pure yoki enegry form or w/e.
And the game doesn't end there, there are still Miria act and Tersea act after it.

XD, Walter gave the impression was the final boss of the game :heh:
But that doesn't make any sense. The Claymore stage is the caterpiller, and the Awakened side is the buttefly. I suppose half-awakened could be the cocoon stage. This is the first time I've ever seen a ball, or some sort or ball form ever.
Unless you're not speaking metaphorically, and the their is actually a boss who transforms into a big ball...which is still weird. Was it too hard to just end on Rigardo? :heh:
It is the end boss of main (canon) story and credits roll after you defeat it.

load your game and head back to the character selection page, you should see Miria there.
Im playing it, but Miria missions are just "Go whack some yoma" pretty much without any story.

Yes, she can use phantom ability for sort of ranged attack.

when you are on the screen with "no data" stuff, click on one of them with your mouse(or touch pad if you are playing on ds) you should be promoted with something like "Do you want to save, yes/no" in Japanese.

After waiting forever, Claymore game finally arrived at my doorstep. I purchased DS just for this game. While waiting for the shipment, I also purchased Castlevania and Valkarie Profile for killing time.
My first impression is....is it doujin game? I would expect more gameplay from the professional game developers. Oh well, it's the game for Claymore. It's like people like the shows, so you have to have the related merchandise anyway. I will play more to make the judgement.

:heh: You give me too much credit...
My idea was more along the lines of a RPG with a large online capability... than a MMORPG. So a story driven game rather a monster hunt with a band on friends roaming where ever you want. Hell, my idea included that if you leave your assigned region for too long or too often then the org will send Raphaela after you... not a good idea for a MMORPG but a great idea for a RPG.
Plus I've got no idea how you could have a MMORPG of Claymore, when there can only be 47 Claymores at any one time. Add on top of that ABings rarely teaming up... so in short a MMORPG with no large parties but only small groups of friends... :eyespin:

Not sure if anyone can help you....I'm not sure how many people have even actually played the game before; it became very anti-climatic when we started learning more about it and sort of a disappointment in people's eyes (example - not much true variation between all the characters despite the many shown -- Roflmao at myself at my questioning of the final boss at the top of this page. :heh:)
