Line 1: {{creator\|wppage=Level-5 (company)}} ~~{{trope}}~~ [[File:~~Level_5_logo_001_4396~~Level-5 Inc.~~jpg~~ logo.svg\|~~frame~~thumb]] In 1998, there was this game developing company called Riverhillsoft, that produced such timeless classics like... uh... ''[~~http://en.~~[wikipedia~~.org/wiki/~~: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 ''[[~~Play Station~~PlayStation 2]]'', especially the ''[[~~Dark Cloud (Video Game)\|~~Dark Cloud]]'' series. That company's name is Level-5, and they only got bigger. A few years later the company would get its two next big-titles, the first being unexpectedly ordered by ''[[Square Enix]]'': ''[[~~Dragon Quest VIII (Video Game)\|~~Dragon Quest VIII]]'', which also sold like crazy, and solidified their relationship (Level 5 would be later hired to produce ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''). The other title was an action-RPG ordered by Sony again, ''[[Rogue Galaxy]]''. In just four short years, Level-5 went from small startup studio to one of the premier RPG developers in Japan, and have enjoyed immense critical and commercial success. Soon it started publishing its own titles in Japan (notably their best-selling ''[[Professor Layton]]'' and ''[[Inazuma Eleven]]'' series), while still being chums with Sony (''[[Jeanne D 'Arc]]'', ''[[White Knight Chronicles]]''). Future projects include (besides more sequels for some of the beforementioned games): Line 10: * An RPG called ''[[Ni no Kuni]]'', developed alongside that [[Sarcasm Mode\|mildly popular]] animation studio, ''[[Studio Ghibli]]''. And before you ask, [[And the Fandom Rejoiced\|yes]]. And before the next question, it [http://www.siliconera.com/2011/10/14/namco-bandai-will-publish-ni-no-kuni-for-playstation-3-in-the-u-s-and-europe/ has been confirmed for localization] in N.A. and Europe * A PSP horror-RPG called ''Ushiro'', which, after months of silence and removal from the official website, may or may not be canceled. * A new title for the [[Nintendo 3DS\|3DS]], [[~~Play Station~~PlayStation Portable\|PSP]] and the [[Play Station Vita\|PlayStaion Vita]] called ''[[Time Travelers]]''. * ''Fantasy Life'', another 3DS game. * ''Youkai Watch'', [http://www.siliconera.com/2011/10/14/youkai-watch-is-another-new-level-5-franchise/ their newest unveiling], for an unannounced platform is shaping up to be a multimedia franchise like Layton and Inazuna Eleven. * Guild01: [[~~Crimson Shroud (Video Game)\|~~Crimson Shroud]] * ''Girls RPG: Cinderelife'', a 3DS renewal of a hostess sim originally made for mobile phones. Currently set for a February 2012 release in Japan. Line 21: ---- ~~===~~ {{examples\|Level-5 produced the following games: ~~===~~}} * ''[[~~Dark Cloud (Video Game)\|~~Dark Cloud]]'', soon followed by a sequel called ''[[Dark ~~Chronicle (Video Game)~~Cloud\|Dark Chronicle]]'' ([[Market-Based Title\|or ''Dark Cloud 2'' if you live in America]]).▼ * ''[[~~Dragon Quest VIII (Video Game)\|~~Dragon Quest VIII]]''▼ ▲* ''[[Dark Cloud (Video Game)\|Dark Cloud]]'', soon followed by a sequel called ''[[Dark Chronicle (Video Game)\|Dark Chronicle]]'' ([[Market-Based Title\|or ''Dark Cloud 2'' if you live in America]]). ▲* ''[[Dragon Quest VIII (Video Game)\|Dragon Quest VIII]]'' * ''[[Rogue Galaxy]]'' * ''[[Jeanne D 'Arc]]'' * The ''[[Inazuma Eleven]]'' series. * The ''[[Professor Layton]]'' series. * ''[[White Knight Chronicles]]'' (plus sequel) * ''[[Ni no Kuni]]'' (one version for the DS, one for the [[PSPlay Station 3]]). * ''[[Danball Senki\|The Little Battlers]]'' * ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'' Line 39 ⟶ 38: ----- {{creatortropes}} ~~Tropes associated with Level-5.~~ * [[Cel Shading]]: ''[[Dark ~~Chronicle (Video Game)~~Cloud\|Dark Chronicle]]'' is considered one of the pioneers in the use of cel-shading in video games, and ''[[~~Dragon Quest VIII (Video Game)\|~~Dragon Quest VIII]]'' was widely praised for being one of the most gorgeous cel-shaded titles on the [[~~Play Station~~PlayStation 2]]. The trailer for the [[PSPlay 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.
