XSEED Announces Special Edition for Ragnarok Odyssey

Aug 22 2012 03:30 PM | Marcus Estrada in Sony

XSEED Games Vita PS special edition

If you've been waiting for the real time action RPG Ragnarok Odyssey on Vita then this news is sure to please. Today XSEED Games sent out a press release which announced the brand new "Mercenary Edition" of the game. It's not just a fancy name for a pack in soundtrack sampler either, as it gives a fair bit of content for the price.

For $50, Ragnarok Odyssey Mercenary Edition will come packed with the expected soundtrack CD but also the Mercenary Guide which is a physical book comprised of game strategies and artwork. It also includes a pack of 10 random trading cards based on some of the 50 monsters from the game. If all 50 are available that'll create some real tension for collectors who want the whole set. The standard version of the game will cost $40, so the Mercenary Edition is just ten bucks more.

If you're curious about Ragnarok Odyssey then it's worth noting that the game was developed by Grandia and Lunar series vets. It also happens to be based off the popular Ragnarok Online. Both versions of the game will be shipping out to retailers this October, although no specific date has been given yet.

Here's a little trailer which was also released alongside the news:

So, is this game a MMO like the game it's based on, or just a straight up action RPG? If it's not too focused on online stuff I might have to check it out when I get a Vita.

I watched some gameplay videos and I believe it's just an action RPG. I am leaning toward Persona 4 Golden to get my handheld RPG mix though.

Venom: This game is not a MMO but it does feature the option of four player co-op via ad-hoc or online.

That's good to know, now I know I want to check this one out for sure. But like Tyler I'll also have to get me some P4 Golden, since I never finished the game when I played it on PS2.
