Naughty JRPG Includes Mouse Pad Featuring Boobs


If there's one way to get gamers into stores, it's by offering to sell them something completely embarrassing.

Publisher Aksys Games is definitely pandering to a certain audience in the marketing of Record of Agarest War [http://www.amazon.com/Record-Agarest-War-Xbox-360/dp/B003KT0ACG/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1280178059&sr=1-2]. Aksys recently announced that the limited edition of the game will include a vulnerable anime girl pillowcase along with a vulnerable anime girl mouse pad, with 3D boobs to rest the wrist on of course.

I'm all for a cool mouse pad that would stop this awful pain I feel from being a regular computer user, but a mouse pad with boobs would just be embarrassing to use. It'd have to be hidden from everybody other than my pets, and even they would probably look at me funny if they saw me using it. Still, it is a really hilarious item that could be broken out when the house is empty, and it's funny to see this normally Japanese-only goodness coming to North America.

My confusion on Record of Agarest War revolves around whether it is actually a porn game [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/97174-This-Is-the-Second-Best-Japanese-Porn-Game-Trailer-Ever] or not. Every description of the game details a standard tactical RPG, with combos, SP, 100 hours of gameplay, and the like, while everything else emphasizes naked anime girls. I mean, look at this trailer, that guy is having sex with the game disc!

Record of Agarest War does have the "Soul Breed" system, through which players can form relationships with female characters to give birth to heroes later in the game, but if it was all-out porn it wouldn't be coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime in the Spring. Agarest was originally going to be released only as a download on the PlayStation Network, but Aksys is now doing a retail release as well with this limited edition for the Xbox 360. To find out more, visit Record of Agarest War's website [http://www.aksysgames.com/agarest_war/]. By "find out more," I mean to see a picture of an anime girl eating a pine cone.

A Japanese eroge coming out for the US' current-gen console systems? Is... is that possible?

Well, I guess if I'm reading about it, it is. o__O'

Anyway, if the preview picture from the video is accurate, then nothing is actually depicted on the mousepad. Certainly it couldn't be all bad. Besides, I've seen far more obscure products (one most notable being specific "toys" based on the various characters of Bible Black).

It still trips me out that this is coming from Aksys Games, the same people that gave us Blazblue. I wonder whose idea it was and also if the game is uncensored.

It is a sad day when companies gotta use CE swag to sell thier games. I swear I know more about all the unimportant stuff and not a thing about the game.

And yet strangely I am interested.

Even if it's porn it would probably be censored to hell before being released here. Even so that is quite interesting if not a little sad.

Kind of an impractical mouse pad isn't it?

............For mousing, that is.

That whole Soul Breed system sounds a lot like the "Love System" from FE Geneology of the Holy War. I just wonder if it will be pulled off just as well.

Just done some research and it's out in EU on Ps3 under the name Agarest: Generations of War
It's a Strat RPG which focuses on different main characters for 5 generations, You start as Leo something and at the end of his campaign you get married to a female in your party that you bond with in the dating sim aspect, after that you have a child who becomes the next main character and gains a mix of traits from Leo and his partner, this gets repeated until the end of the game in 5 generations time, at this point I'd assume great, great, great, great, grandfather Leo will be long gone but it's a cool idea, I might actually try and get hold of it aha

It's rated t in the trailer so it will probably about the same amount as blazblue.

Given that the ESRB blurb in the trailer said T, with partial nudity and suggestive themes being the only sex related things, I'm guessing it's not a porn game.

The Escapist is kinda slow on this stuff. Everything I see here I've seen a few days earlier on Kotaku.

That didn't actually sell me on the game at all. In fact, if that's the only selling point they can come up with, I think I'll skip it.
