The Bouncer
Preview By: Lyenhardt
Developer:   Dream Factory
Publisher:   Squaresoft
Genre:   RPG
Est. Release Date:   Winter 2001
Posted:   9-30-00

Dominique Cross: A lively young girl, Dominique kinda wonders into Fate one day, and instantly becomes liked by the occupants -- as she has an upbeat attitude about things. Dressed similar to female Geomancers from FFT, she surely does look odd. Basically, all you can see is a large, yellow overcoat that is apparently too big for her, which hangs down below any visible pants/shorts, making it look more like a skirt than anything. She also has blonde hair, with a large red hair-bow in it. Dominique becomes attached to Sion (or vice-versa), the main character and a bouncer at Fate. The evil Mikado faction later kidnaps her.

Echidna: Echidna, as you may or may not know, is the red-haired, flamboyantly dressed/looking woman you seen when The Bouncer was first announced back whenever. Echidna works as a supervisor in a faction known as the 'Mikado Group', an evil organization with unknown motives at this time. She has one wicked hairstyle -- which one cannot use words to describe -- and she dresses very casually indeed (almost looks like a hooker or something). She is said to be very arrogant and she hates to lose.

Mugetsu: This dude is wicked looking -- almost more so than Volt Krueger. Mugetsu leads the Kikado Special Forces Unit (which is apparently a group within the Mikado organization), who eventually kidnaps the one known as 'Dominique'. Why they do it is not known. Anyway, Mugetsu resembles the traditional 'Ninja', except with a more 'super-human' touch to him. He also has a half leather mask, and blue skin. Simply put, he's your primary antagonist of the game.

Volt, Sion, and Koh are 'the bouncers' of a bar called 'Fate'. The story starts out and centers around this area, on a street called 'Dog Street'. Not much in known about the place, but you can come up with your own conclusions. Also, the game is under the direction of Takashi Tokita -- the man who has big game projects under his belt like Chrono Trigger, FFIV, and Parasite Eve. Very nice!

With big guns like Tokita, Nomura, and Dream Factory, this game should surely be a hit. Hopefully, this game will capitalize with innovation -- a factor in games that isn't quite utilized much anymore or effectively. I do feel that good things will come of this game, and you can expect to see it sometime in the coming winter. Square hopes to get it out before Christmas in Japan, which will be on DVD. I can't wait!
