Lately Square has been broadening its focus from role-playing games to more adventurous, sci-fi games (such as Parasite Eve). Now comes its newest title, Xenogears, a science-fiction-based role-playing game that mixes 3-D polygons with 2-D sprite animation to tell its story.
Characters, using the game's battle mode, can fight either hand-to-hand or with weapons, or use their robot mechs to crush enemies. (Can you say "Giant Robo?")
Xenogears will be appearing on the PlayStation later this winter, but for now check out these screenshots, provided by Anime PlayStation.
