Website for Mistwalker's ASH opens


Mistwalker's DS debut, ASH - Archaic Sealed Heat, has just opened its official website, hosted by Nintendo of Japan. Currently it is just a teaser site, with a Flash logo, and rousing music by Hitoshi Sakimoto playing in the background.

As usual with Sakimoto's talent, who has previously worked on Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII, it has that celtic mixed with medieval sound. Here's hoping for a killer soundtrack.

IGN reported on this news, but missed mentioning that in the subtitle of the game, it states that it is a "Single Player Specific Simulation RPG." This almost means that, as is usual for Sakaguchi's work, it is a single-player focused game, and that it may end up not having any multi-player elements. We'll find out for certain at a later time.

With the website opening up on the eve of E3, here's hoping that it will appear at the event in some form, playable or not. It has been far too long since we heard anything about this title.

Check it out!
