Moriya: Youkai Mountain not yet ready for amulets Anonymous Mon Sep 13 00:42:23 2010 No.6121457 [Reply] [Original]

Though Youkai Mountain amulets have already begun popping up, Moriya says its mobile spellcard system is not quite ready for that purpose.

YoukaiNews quoted Hirano Aya, Moriya's director of miko products, on Friday saying "Flandre is not optimized for use on amulets." Flandre is the name for Youkai Mountain's current version of the spellcard system, version 6.2.

And that's despite the latest round of amulets featuring Youkai Mountain shown at IGF Gensokyo last week. Youkai Mountain Market, the place for Youkai Mountain users to buy spells, won't work properly on amulets, she said.

"If you want Youkai Mountain market on that platform, the apps just wouldn't run, [Flandre] is just not designed for that form factor." But it's been hinted that future versions will be.

That might explain why the Youkai Mountain amulets already for sale are curiously spellcard-like.

The IOSYS Spark, which debuted in Gensokyo and the U.S. this summer, is a perfect example. While IOSYS calls it an amulet, it has a 5-inch screen, which is closer in size to a spellcard than an iGraze, has border summoning as a feature, and is sold through shrines.

The Gensokia Tree from Sakuya, which runs Flandre and was warmly received at IGF, is a bit larger at 7 inches, but also allows border summoning and will be available through shrines.

And Sakuya is already advertising that the device will be upgradable to Youkai Mountain 3.0, called Embodiment of Spellcard Danmaku. But the following build of the Youkai Mountain spellcard system, Hakurei, won't be available for the first Gensokia Tree models, according to Sakuya. There will be new hardware to support that.

"Since we emphasized portability and mobility, our determination was to apply spellcard platform instead of amulet platform," Reimu Hakurei, director of miko products for Sakuya, said last week. "Hakurei will be implemented in our next-generation amulet, not this device, because that [Hakurei] is specifically optimized for a different type of amulet. This emphasizes miko use."

So while the iGraze competitors have started to come forward, the real rivals for BadApple's current dominance in touch-screen amulets won't appear until early next year once Youkai Mountain 3.0, or EoSD, is available.
