3DS JRPG The Legend of Legacy gets a teaser website on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Announced in the September issue of the V-Jump magazine, over in Japan, The Legend of Legacy is a Japanese RPG currently in development at development outlet FuRyu, the creators of Unchained Blades, a PSP and 3DS Japan-only RPG which did get a western release in North America by XSEED Games back in 2013, but sadly never in Europe.

The new game is apparently set on the the island of Avalon, a famous location from Arthurian Legends, has the Star Graal (sic) in it, and sports 7 playable characters to choose from for your party. See below a piece of art from the newly opened teaser website:

Dragon Warrior itself took inspiration( a lot of it !!) somewhere else yeah. As far as I know, Temple of Apshai, Ultima and Wizardry, all western RPGs precede Dragon Quest by several years. And if you want to go even further than that, RPGs find their origin not in video game format but in pen and paper games. Video Game RPGs just took most of their mechanics from there and ran away with them.

If you're interested in finding out about those very early RPGs, there's a cool series of articles on the Wizardry series over at hardcoregaming101.net which starts off with a summary on old RPGs, and shows how a lot of recent ones still take their inspirations from old mechanics that originated back in the early 80's. Check it out
