In 1998, there was this game developing company called Riverhillsoft, that produced such timeless classics like... uh... ''[[wikipedia:Overblood|Overblood]]''...? Anyway, in 1998 it disbanded, and one of its members, Akihiro Hino, went on to produce his own game developing company, being particularly supported by [[Sony Computer Entertainment]], and went to produce some respectably good sellers for the then-newborn ''[[PlayStation 2]]'', especially the ''[[Dark Cloud]]'' series. That company's name is Level-5, and they only got bigger.

* [[Cel Shading]]: ''[[Dark Cloud|Dark Chronicle]]'' is considered one of the pioneers in the use of cel-shading in video games, and ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'' was widely praised for being one of the most gorgeous cel-shaded titles on the [[PlayStation 2]]. The trailer for the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]] version of ''[[Ni no Kuni]]'' shows that they haven't lost their touch when it comes to this.
* [[Scenery Porn]]
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Their recent games are getting pretty bad about this, in regards to Western releasing. ''[[White Knight Chronicles]]'' took 14 months to be released in the US, while ''[[Professor Layton|Professor Layton and the Unwound Future]]'' took ''22''. ''[[Inazuma Eleven]]'' takes the cake, though - it was released in Europe in January 2011, '''two and a half years''' after its Japanese release.
