For fans of the War of Genesis / Magna Carta art (and Quaunaut's sig), this is the latest game featuring his artwork and design. It's actually made by Softmax, a Korean company somewhat notorious for it's poor programming and subpar character animation, but this was a joint Korean/Japanese company release being translated for the U.S. by Atlus (who released Disgaea and so forth).

I've seen the Japanese game, and it actually looks fairly well done - the demo I've been through had some glaring clipping errors, but hopefully they've polished it since then. Also for some reason it's been named Tears of Blood instead of Crimson Stigmata...??

Anyway, this is the first chance to get ahold of a game featuring Kim's art (without having to import, anyway), so it's exciting for his fans!

    Hmm. Looks like every other anime styled game out there. Hoo-rah.

    Fear the great charter - and King John (and his denial to feudal vassals forcing him into creating a contract with the nobility)!


    ...oh wait. Looks nice, anyway.

    Why risk offending the overly-religious when you can just use creative translation?

    Crimson Stigmata is kinda redundant, isn't it?
