https://store.steampowered.com/app/4251710/EXSTETRA/?curator_clanid=45611763 - EXSTETRA / 「エクステトラ」 from FuRyu, at the height(?) of everything being Persona 4.

This didn't get translated back in 2013 (blessed, aren't we), but it's getting a port to Steam this year so FuRyu is translating it now (ChatGPT will be doing its big one).

Game about kissing anime girls to fight bullshit. Wikipedia cites one polygon article claiming that the game is like Tales of. Completely wrong, I genuinely don't know where they got this other than it's Japanese and so is Tales of. Main art from Katsumi Enami, of Star Ocean 4 Edge Maverick (in)fame.

This has boy kissing in it, but it might be homophobic boy kissing 🥵

Probs easy to emulate the 3ds version but it was also on vita.

The game's overall theme is "saving the world with a kiss".[5] The main character, a male teenager called Ryoma,[1] has the ability to "kiss", and, in effect, "absorb" energy from enemies, and use that energy to create "miracles".[6]

In September 2013, Xseed Games commented that the game was an unlikely candidate to be translated into English.[12]

Four Famitsu reviewers gave Exstetra scores of 8, 8, 7 and 7, for a total score of 30/40.[13]

Oh nooooooooooooooooooo

This looks like a weapons-grade Vita game. But maybe we'll need to play stuff like Conception first to really understand the creative continuity?

The recently announced remastered version of fantasy RPG EXSTETRA will launch for PC via Steam on July 30 worldwide, developer FuRyu announced. PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Switch versions are also in development. It supports English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese language options.

EXSTETRA originally launched for PS Vita and 3DS on November 7, 2013 in Japan. The remaster will mark the first time the game is released outside of Japan.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

A fantasy RPG where a kiss saves the world. EXSTETRA is set in “Amazia,” a Tokyo fused with another world and fated for destruction. It tells the story of Ryoma, a high school student who rises as the chosen savior, a “Prisma,” to confront the coming end of the world. Along the way, Ryoma discovers candidates to become “Prisma Knights,” who share the same destiny of saving the world. By awakening them with his kiss, he sets out on an adventure together with his companions.

Story

Just kiss—. Kiss is the only way to save two worlds destined for ruin. Set in “Amazia,” a Tokyo fused with another world and fated for destruction, this is the story of a battle in which you become the chosen savior, a “Prisma,” and fight to save two worlds from the brink of annihilation. The only way to save the world is a kiss—.

World

The story takes place in “Amazia,” a Tokyo fused with another world and is burdened with a doomed fate. This beautiful yet decadent world is brought to life through the artwork by tokyogenso. Witness for yourself the transformed city such as Shibuya and Akihabara, now merged with another world.

Battle

The only way to save the world… is a kiss! Fight against the end of the world alongside the Prisma Knights.

EXS – As the savior; “Prisma,” the protagonist is the only one capable of absorbing the energy known as “EXS” by defeating enemies. “EXS,” the source of power in this world, can be shared with the Prisma Knights—his allies—through a kiss.

The Power of a Kiss – The act required to share “EXS” is a kiss. A kiss awakens the Prisma Knights and serves as the key to fighting together as companions.

Enchant – “Enchanting” is a system that allows players to grant various abilities and special effects to equipment. It is a vital element in gaining the upper hand in battle, and gathering materials while maintaining the optimal setup is the shortest path to victory.

(This product was developed based on EXSTETRA, originally released in 2013. Some specifications differ from the original version.)
