Square Enix reveals new 'adventure RPG': Sigma Harmonics

With all the remakes and ports that seem to come our way courtesy of Square-Enix, it's nice to see a new IP from the Final Fantasy factory. Announced in this week's issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu, Sigma Harmonics is an "adventure RPG" promising a murder-mystery narrative, an interesting combination. According to initial translations of the article, the story takes its cues from Persona 4's (PS2) suspense-filled plot, and the game will be presented book-style with the DS turned sideways.

Surprisingly, Sigma Harmonics is already 60% complete and will hit stores in Japan as soon as this summer! Check the convenient gallery below for scans of the Famitsu pages.

The big difference: the sword-swinging bishounen lead wears glasses this time.

Nice! I'm always up for new, original content from Square Enix. Just wish they did it more often!

The guy on the right with glasses looks like the character from Persona 4. And the girl reminds me of a Range Murata character.

I've avoided games that require rotating the DS sideways until now due to the fact that they tend to require touch-screen control and just look miserably uncomfortable to hold, but the battle screen image at the bottom of the first scanned page in the gallery is given such a unique sense of action by everything being tall and narrow that I might be interested.
