Sega has confirmed the release date for Imageepoch's (Luminous Arc) latest RPG Stella Glow in Japan. The game - which was announced last year - is hitting stores on June 4th and will cost 5,990 Yen.
Coming from the same team that created Time and Eternity and Last Ranker, Stella Glow has a strong focus on music - the witches you face in the game can be "tuned" in order to gain their special "song magic". The story revolves around saving the world from crystallization by Hilda, the evil witch shown in the image above.
Billed as a "strategic RPG", Stella Glow's battlefield will be viewed from an isometric perspective, with elevation factors coming into play when delivering attacks. StreetPass functionality is also confirmed.
There's no word on whether Stella Glow will be coming to the west.

It would probably sell okay if sold outside of Japan well maybe
Time & Eternity is one of the worst JRPGs of all time.
Wasn't the Luminous Arc trilogy on DS also by Imageepoch? The guys who did Arc Rise Fantasia for Wii?
where is her boobs? o.o
We all know we gonna buy this just for the fanservice xD
@CAM290 Where ARE her boobs.
@damo @CAM290 well, shes probably 11, pedobear aproves
Design-wise, it's looking good enough. A bit uncreative, but at least well-drawn.
However, this is SEGA we're talking about.
If the word "Sonic" with a capital-S isn't part of the title, the localization will either be terrible or simply not happen at all. They have strong issues trusting their japan-focused games enough to warrant a western release.
@Kafei2006 Exactly.
@CAM290 @Damo Either she's too young for boobs, or she's simply flat, who knows.
@vonseux Well, she is a witch, apparently. Chances are she's much older than she looks (sorceress principle may apply in a variation here).
@Kaze_Memaryu that's your excuse for sexualizing 11-old children?
she's a witch, riiiiight....
@CaviarMeths its not that it was bad it was just bland as luvyduvywuv and if you played the American one the voice acting did not help either.
@CaviarMeths If you think of the game as a really repetitive and "fanservicey" version of Punch-Out, then it's just a mediocre game. Imageepoch isn't exactly known for quality games, after all.
I still don't know if this particular game would be up my alley just on what's written here so far, so it would help to see what others would think about it. Gotta keep my expectations low, after all.
At least the witch's design looks nice at least,don't know what to say about the rest of the game.
Sega: please leave it in Japan this time. It really shouldn't be hard. I mean, you don't bring over anything that Atlus or Sonic Team isn't directly involved in anyways, but still...just...leave it. Please. Imageepoch does not know how to make anything that isn't utterly average and generic. With the exception of Time and Eternity. That one couldn't even hit average...
Looks pretty good for a chibi 3DS game, visually at least. It remains to be seen if Imageepoch can make a very good game this time...
Though, did Sting also work on this? Those battle camera angles look like they were pulled straight from Sting and Compile Heart's Hyperdevotion Noire Goddess Black Heart.
Looks interesting enough. Hopefully it'll get a NA release eventually.
; A ; I love Lumious Arc. Missed the thrid one on account of it never being localized outside of Japan. I really hope this comes out for NA, I'm itching for another witch related game!
PS. As I recall in the Lumious Arc entires, looks can be deciving of ones real age.
@vonseux There's no word on her age, and she clearly looks older than eleven. Also: the outfit may be skimpy, but sexualization is a completely different level than that.
The artwork is really good at least...
Not sure how I feel about this, looks like a grid-based strategy RPG like Fire Emblem. Character design is decent. If it comes to the west, I might get it. Oh, and she's definitely older than 11, or at least, she'll get her age altered in the west version like Bravely Default (if it's coming).
lol like how the comments turn into finding her boobs xD but she is simply like that she is either the tsundere or kuudere type which lack the boobs department least as far as anime goes
anyway i have always like these types of games for their art but hate that they are rpg so i never play them :/
JRPG? Insta buy.
@vonseux looking young =/= actually being young. I remember seeing 11 year olds who look 14 and my sister is 15 years old but she looks like she's 11.
