Ragnarok Online DS is a game based on the MMORPG Ragnarok Online, and is scheduled to be released sometime in 2008.

GungHo Online Entertainment, Inc., the company that hosts the Japanese server of Ragnarok Online, announced it will expand its business for video game consoles, and Ragnarok is the second of 3 games for Nintendo DS to be released by them, along with Aqua Zone DS and Flower Arrangement DS.

It is currently unknown if the massively multiplayer feature will be kept in the DS version of the game, but it will be able to live chat with other players.

It will not be MMO though.

The recently announced title for DS, Ragnarok Online DS, has been confirmed by the developers, GungHo, not to be a MMO. Instead the game will be a standalone Action RPG based on the series. The game will still use the Wi-Fi functions of the DS but, at the moment, exactly how is not known.

It's coming to PSP as well

* The game is to be based off the popular Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game from the PC;
* This edition is set to make full use of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for online play;
* Wi-Fi will also be used in conjunction with offline promotions and extra downloadable content, hinting that there is an offline mode included as well;
* There are currently 2.5 million Ragnarok Online accounts in Japan, so the company is expecting the Nintendo DS game to at least reach the 100,000 units mark in its home territory or be deemed a disappointment;
* GungHo also has plans to bring out some other DS games, such as Aquazon DS and Flower Arrangement DS;
* GungHo owns various development teams, such as GameArts, Takara and Brocoli, all of which are set to develop new console titles in the near future;
* There are also titles in the pipeline for the PlayStation Portable.

so... it has a real storyline or you just play your own game with yourself in your own world alone? =.=

Feb 11 2008, 01:13 PM

my guess it's just like Maple Story DS, you play alone in the world. btw the screen shot look fake though lol

Would be pretty cool IMO if they made the necessary changes (to suit single-player instead of MMO)

can't wait to check out some previews!

Added on December 17, 2008, 7:02 pmfrom what i see, at first only can change to 2-1 job
i think 2-2 only can be unlocked later on

ShinAsuka

Dec 18 2008, 05:47 PM

some infos
first job change @ job lvl10, same like PC RO
second job change @ job lvl30

players able to switch job line (ex: swordman > acolyte ..etc)
panalty: base level cut by half, job level down to lvl1

drop rate considered high, unlike PC RO

hafez13

Dec 18 2008, 09:06 PM

ShinAsuka

Dec 18 2008, 09:29 PM

i think need to clear main story line first

dkliew

Dec 19 2008, 01:10 AM

just able to Lan with friend. u got to go to the tower near the anthell. at the bottom right portal.

in that tower u can challenge the monster. change the dye etc for the lan game+wifi mode.
u get 2~4 holes weapon and other cool stuff when u won the challenge

its cool.

When the time u spent more than 8000~10000Z in the tool shop.
u will be granted the most welcome custome. then u can buy butterflyWings.
mean u can warp back to town.
Flywings = able to warp out from dungeon.
