Just Try to Explain This Fearless Fantasy Trailer

Me cants!

GOOD GOOD PERFECT! And dancing!

What did I just watch?

Getting an AdventureQuest vibe from this.

That battle system looks rad!

Wonder if they're thinking of doing a smartphone release.

THIS.IS.PERFECT!!!!

I bet Phil Fish could explain this...

It's certainly unique, energetic and quite trippy

The one trailer to rule them all. Seriously, this is fantastic.

OT: Laughed at that one dude "About time!" when he got healed. What an asshole.

A turnbased RPG with an active Gitaroo Man-esque battle mechanic. Also features some comedic elements that probably satirize Final Fantasy. There, not that difficults to explains.

I can explain it. Its a video showing off a bad videogame with bad jokes in it. SUCK IT KLEPTOK!

The characters' faces really bug the shit out of me, but other than that:

IS THIS FROG FRACTIONS 2?!

It looks like an rpg that takes the Super Mario RPG-style battle system where you can time button presses during attacks to the next level by making you swipe in a certain pattern.

love the fake anime art style plus strangeness. good job everybody, give yourselfs a raise.

Is the second-rate Flash game aesthetic an intentional goof? If so, I guess I can appreciate how on-the-nose it is, but ironically bad art is still bad art. Even the interface is an eyesore.

I mean, I'm sure this is made by a small indie team with a lot of heart and the gameplay might be interesting, but I can't imagine actually playing that. The "it's so crazy" angle is also a huge turn-off for me.

P.S. Typo in the headline?

Oh hey, this is from the guys (including @i_smell I believe) that done No Time to Explain. And yup, this seems pretty much in-line with the sort of insanity I'd expect from them.

I don't even...

YES

alright, this statement alone, fuck watching that trailer, im in.

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Got a real Soda-Drinker-Pro-guy's-side-project vibe from this...

When I realized it wasn't a Square/Enix game, I became a lot more interested. Even so, neat little trailer.

I LOVE GANGNAM STYLE XD
Who knows, maybe it'll be good.

I feel like EPIC!!! gives it away.

This is videogames.

So there is this teenager with a forget past, and the planet Gaia and... Nevermind.

I have 3 words to explain the trailer. I'm buying this.

The art style reminds me of something incredibly specific but I can't for the life of me put my finger on what it is.

Edit: It might be Serious Sam: Double D that I'm thinking of but still not quite sure

Frog Fractions 2.

South Park did it better.

I... I don't... What the fuck are they doing Gangam style for?! Is this a dream?! WHO AM I?!?!?!

This is the new fall back to explain the unexplained.

"Where do babies come from?" -> "Frog Fractions, dear"

"Is there life outside of Earth?" -> "Frog Fractions."

The song is Zircon's Breathing you In.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Great monsters

Wow that trailer is the product of all the neckbeard 4chan asperger's basement-dwelling freaks.

Nope.

Don't know why, but something about the "Most original RPG of the year!" quote from the guy who produced Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within made me laugh a bit.

@euandewar: it looks super similar graphically to weapon of choice.. maybe you were thinking of that?

tinyBuild Games developed No Time to Explain and published SpeedRunners, if that puts this into any form of context.

@alpinehermit: That's not it but thanks for the help anyhow

It's a game with a unique battle system that uses mouse gestures to attack or block. They're probably going to have a trailer for a mobile version.

That was beautiful.

Half-assed?

Uh? If Williams Street wanted to make a parody of Final Fantasy?

Strangest thing about this trailer is the choice of quote (or more specifically, the individual chosen to provide said quote) at the end.

ENDUT! HOCH HECH!!!!

Rythm based RPG Battle System? RBRPGBS? SIGN ME THE F UP! I'M GETTING THE DANCE PADS READY.

Yep, it looks like it's this except with little quick time event minigames tied to way more stuff and with more interesting and challenging ones at that.

I'm still waiting for 'Fire Fighter Fighters' from Iron Galaxy.
