Fairy RPG Aims to Be Epic Fantasy Via XBLA/PSN

[Andronicus]

Turn-based combat?
Flying sequences?
The Flying Dutchman?!
Say what you want about fairy tales; this sounds awesome!

"Turn-based combat"

It sounded so good until then. I can't stand turn-based.

I don't think they realise faery's are diifernt to fairy's.
While fairy's are pure and good faery's are little bastards with sharp teeth who kill people...
But thats just me ranting on about stuff that doesn't matter.

Whilst that may be true in whatever fiction you've been reading, it has nothing to do with any real definition of the word. Faery is another way of spelling fairy, much as daemon is another way of spelling demon.
I'm sure authors have used the different spellings to differentiate one creature from another (Phillip Pullman had daemons featured as something that didn't slightly resemble the usual concept of a demon). But that doesn't make it a fact that someone should "know".

Personally I hope this game gets a hard copy released. Same with DeathSpank. I don't want to pay money for a game that has no physical presence, I'm just funny like that. If it was a lot cheaper I'd probably get it (not that I'm saying its not worth the money) but I'd still prefer a disc, box and manual.

I was on about Folklore more then anything (not the game) British mainly, there are both Fairys and Faerys in it. If I remember correctly Faerys were tainted fairys, somthing to do with greed (isn't it always?). Though I belive the details of british folklore are not widely known. Either way they shouldn't know I admit but I didn't truly say that. Differnt cultures have differnt folklore, for example if you asked a Irishman (or woman) about Faerys (or fairys but they are pronounced the same) they would tell you the little bastard version. It all depends on the legends that the bards told in that area.

 

[Denamic]

Awesome!
I've always wanted to be a fairy!

On a more serious note; I'll be keeping my eye on this title, RPG whore as I am.

I like the concept, but that name is going to have to change just to avoid all the homophobic jokes that will be made by the Halo frat boy crowd.

What would be the size of that thing? At my stupid 1.5mbps it would take days to DL

Can you source this at all?
I wouldn't call myself an expert by any means, but I have never seen anything which implies a difference between fairies, faerys and faeries besides spelling. A quick google search turned up something that suggested fairy was just derived from faerie which is of French origin.

I'm not trying to pick on you or anything, I just hold an interest in this kinda thing. As such if there was a traditional differentiation between the 2 words then I'd be interested to know the story behind it.

As cool as it looks and all, I won't be getting it unless they put it on DISK.

I really wanted Argarest War as well, but it was for download only (on PS3 in North America) and I did not want to sacrifice 9GB on ONE GAME.

You hear me Focus Home Interactive? Put it on a disk and you get a sale. Don't and I will ignore your game. Hard Drive space is limited and BluRay disks are a wonderful storage medium. DO IT!

I agree entirley though for other reasons as well. Digital distribution is great, but its not for everyone, full sized games like this should provide both options.

Sorry, it was ages ago and I'm good at remembering folklore stuff as it is quiet interesting, mostly and intersting stuff sticks in my head but not a sites...
I can tell you the 'evil' ones are Irish origin though. Infact it's rumored That Faerys came up before fairys. Allot of this is a mixed batch so I assume it's the chinese whispers effect as it either gets mixed up or a bard or storyteller changes it to mke it more interesting. That is quite obvious ofcourse. If I remember any more I'll be sure to PM you as right now its 8am and I haven't sleapt in a day so obviously my memory isn't up to what it usualy is.

 

[The DSM]

Hmm...

I might give it a try when it comes out.

There arnt enough RPG's on the Xbox.

The trial game of "Faery" is out now, as well as the full download! I tried it out, and I did love playing as a fairy, which you don't get to do in any RPGs I can recall. It seems like your typical RPG, though, but I am compelled to give it a try. The only thing I hate is the cost... it's priced at the higher-end of Xbox LIVE Arcade titles.
