Yggdra Union regroups on the PSP

Yggdra Union, the strategic rpg story of Princess Yggdra, the holy sword Gran Centurio and the thief Milanor and their battle to restore Fantasinia, is going to be resurrected. Atlus will be releasing the PSP port of the 2006 GBA game in North America, just like it did with Riviera: The Promised Land.

The battle system can be a bit complicated in Yggdra Union. You can only move all characters a certain number of spaces. Then you must choose which of the cards you have available for the unit to attack an opposing unit. You then watch your unit attack the other one. After the battle is finished, the winning unit’s morale is raised, and the losing unit’s morale is lowered. Like in Fire Emblem, certain unit types are strong or weaker than others, so you really have to think ahead.

The PSP version of Yggdra Union will have a few extras tossed in that weren’t available in the GBA game. There will be a substantial amount of English or Japanese voice acting (players decide which they want), the ability to set the difficulty level, extra characters and better vocals, visuals and movies. If you didn’t pick up the original game, then the remake might be worth checking out.

The game will be out September 16, 2008. A price hasn’t been announced, but I’m guessing Yggdra Union PSP will start at $39.99, since the PSP remake of the GBA game Riviera: The Promised Land was originally released by Atlus at a $39.99 price point. Or, if you’d prefer, you can pick up the GBA version of Yggdra Union used at a GameStop for $7.99 and play it on your DS.
