Trinity: Souls of Zill O’ll TGS Interview

Jeff and PlayStation.Blog.Europe‘s Jem Alexander continue their dynamic duo-esque post-coverage of the Tokyo Game Show, this time with the focus on Trinity: Souls of Zill O’ll from Koei. If you don’t know much about the series, here’s a primer from from Jem:

While at the Tecmo Koei booth we got a chance to chat to Akihiro Suzuki, the Director of Koei’s upcoming PS3 exclusive action RPG, Trinity: Souls of Zill O’ll.

It’s the latest in the Zill O’ll series, but you’d be forgiven for not knowing that — the previous games never made it outside of Japan. It’s a pretty popular series over there and now it’s coming to both the US and Europe, so we’ll be able to see what all the fuss is about when it releases next year.

It’s a prequel to the Zill O’ll series, so story-wise it promises to be very accessible. In terms of gameplay it’s also a departure from the norm for the series, as it leaves its turn-based RPG roots behind and embraces a more action-orientated approach.
