paragraphs and grammar errors. Also added some Houshinengi 2 and Super
Battle Houshin (mystic heroes) information.
1 - - INTRODUCTION
Houshinengi is a strategic turn-based RPG based on a classical
Chinese romance of the same name. The producer of the game Koei is
famous for the Romance of Three Kingdoms and the Shin Sangoku Musou
(Dynasty warriors) series and Houshinengi was their first attempt to
make a SRPG. The game itself it's quite similar to FFT and Tactics
Ogre.
The developer Fu-Qi and Koei also worked together on another
game based on a Chinese romance. This game was Sayuki: Journey West
and it was translated and released in the US. Houshinengi it's a
fairly easy game to beat with little knowledge of Japanese.
Chineses mystical romances and Koei always has a good
relationship. The classical Sayuki fairy tale (of the Son Goku fame)
generated Sayuki: Journey West. Romance of the Three Kingdoms made a
huge series with the same name, just like Shin Sangoku Musou (that is
platinum seller in Japan). Another Chinese fairy tale ported to
videogames is Konami's Suikoden.
Please not mistake this game with Bandai Senkai Taisen
Houshinengi (Soul Hunter) based on the mangá/anime series of the same
name. It shares the same basic history but there are 2 completely
different games (as far I know, Bandai's Senkai Taisen Houshinengi is
a graphical adventure).

3 - - STORY
The intro of the game shows a river with some mountains, but then a
earthquake begins. The mountains start to crumble and a very strong light
come out of the farthest mountain and this light destroys the surrounding
mountains. The light became more and more intense that forms a kind of
shockwave. So in this scenario of destruction, the game logo appears.
This is a small background on Houshinengi story.
Many, many years ago, the world was becoming aware of the most
powerful empire known to date. This was the era of the Ing dynasty, and
his 33 successor, Emperor Chyuou. Emperor Chyuou was a highly respected
emperor, doted with great writing skills and was a master of war tactics.
His empire was extended on every direction possible and it comprises of
almost 800 villages. But this great empire was destined to meet is end. A
powerful magician, Dakki, that was a person beyond evil, seduced emperor
Chyuou using a terrible spell: The essence of the gods, and became his
empress. Having this title and commanding Chyuou like a puppet, she
commands his empire as her wishes.
Soon enough, Dakki's rule was showing her true intentions. This
empire was declining: the people were starving, theft and murdered are
commonplace and the army was crumbled apart without the trust and the
leadership of the emperor.
4 - - DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS
TAIKOUBOU - The main character. Being an orphan, he was adopted and
sends to the immortal clan to become a magician. Was send to the surface
by Genshi Tenson to hunt the evil spirits. But he became leader of an
army to free the empire from Dakki. He is strong, kind, and a good battle
strategist.
KOU HIKO - A general that was jailed by the emperor for treason. He
is a powerful in the battlefield and a tactical master. He has supreme
strength and skills with a spear. He follows Taikou because he wants to
see if he can change the attitude of emperor Chyuou. The empire killed
his wife and he was the best friend of Bun Chu.
YOU SEN - Another indispensable character with strong magic
attacks, good weapon range and is also a master of disguise. Has a quick
mind, but don't interact well with people because his shyness. He has a
love interest but escapes from her every time he can. He has no apparent
reason to follow Taikou but as an immortal himself, he has his reasons.
NATA - This beautiful lady is a master in magic attacks as hers
abilities with a spear are supreme as well. Her levitating ability gives
her the best agility of the team. She was once human, but she died in an
accident and was revived with strange powers by an immortal. Seeks
revenge on his father. A 6 years old child in a body of an adult.
DAKKI - The empress of the dynasty. She is a powerful sorceress and
has charisma and an ability to force people to do what she wants. Being
supported of dark forces, she manages to seduce the emperor and control
the Ing Empire. The immortal clan is watching closely the ascension of
Dakki in the world of humans.
BUN CHU - The main general and trade manager of the dynasty.

his friend. Doesn't like the way Dakki handle the matters on the empire,
but he won't betray because he owns eternal allegiance for emperor.
CHYUOU - The emperor of the dynasty. Doesn't look his normal self

5 - - GETTING STARTED / TUTORIAL
1) Characters parameters
Every RPG has its own parameters, and Houshinengi is no exception.
The character parameters includes HP,TP and WT.
HP - The HP parameter is the physical strength of the character. If
the HP reduces to zero, the character get out of the fight but not die,
on normal conditions he/she reappears on the next battle. If the main
character or leader of the army get 0 HP, the game is over.
TP - The TP parameter is the spirit power of the character, it is
required a certain number of TP to use magic (think of it as MP). There
is no item to fill the TP, instead on every turn a little TP is restored.
You can also use the charge option to gain even more TP if you wish to.
EXP - The EXP is the experience parameter. Every time that you
attack and hits an enemy or cast a successful attack magic, you gain
experience. The experience is necessary to leveling up. The amount of
experience earned depends on the condition of the enemy (finishing
strikes gain more experience than normal blows) and the level difference
(the more the level difference is between you and your enemy, more
experience you receive). If you can accumulate a certain number of EXP
points, you will level up.
DEX - The DEX is the dexterity parameter. Every time that you hits
an enemy or cast a successful magic, you receive dexterity points. The
DEX points are necessary to develop new abilities. The amount of DEX
earned works the same way that EXP is earned.
WT - The WT is the Wait Turn parameter. This game uses a semi-
active time battle system like Final Fantasy Tactics. The character
screen that shows the HP and TP also shows the WT. The WT works in a
(X/Y) manner. X means the number of turns that the character will have to
wait to make an action and Y is the total of characters on screen (ally +
enemies). If a character has a WT (1/11), that means that he will be the
character that will make an action (Move, attack, etc), and there is 11
characters on the battle.
When you make an action in your turn, you next WT is automatically
calculated. But it doesn't mean that if a character were the last one to
make a selection would be the last one on the line. The WT is influenced
by two factors: the agility number that every character has AND the
actions that he performed on the last turn. The agility number is fixed
for every character, and that calculates the characters movement: If you
make only one action (Move or attack/magic) and select wait, the WT gain
25%. If you not chose to do any action and select wait, the WT gain 50%.
Still complicated? OK, to put it simple, if you want to the next turn
comes faster, don't use unnecessary actions. You can check the order of
the attacks anytime on the battle; just use the triangle button without
making any selections.
2) Weapon and magic
The game has 4 categories of weapons and 4 kinds of magic.
There 4 categories of weapons in Houshinengi, each one blessed by a
Chinese deity. They are: Spear (Genbu), Sword (Suzaku), Mace (Byakko) and
Bow (Seiryuu).
A weapon can also have a magic parameter. It means that this
particular weapon enables the user to perform a magical attack.
There are 4 kinds of basic magic. They are: Lightning (change
terrain), Fire (heal), Eye (Status) and Yin-Yang (Attack). Each character
can have an innate magic kind to use or being equipped with a weapon or
relic that enable him to perform magic.
Each weapon and magic can have a maximum of 10 different levels.
But not everyone can learn all the 10 levels by normal means. Some
characters has a restriction that limited him/her, that makes him only
learn to the level 8, for example. To make him learn the last 2 abilities
you have to spend some items, explained below.
3) About the battle options
As you enter a real battle, the game will give you 5 options to
what to do in your turn.
MOVE
ATTACK
MAGIC
OTHERS
WAIT
MOVE - Like the name says, it let your character move. The move
range is marked on blue. The length of your move is determined for the
number on the status screen (has a foot on the side of the number). In
this game moving and attacking are completely different actions. You can
freely choose the order (move or attack) or perform only one action per
turn. By the way, you can go back on your decision to where to move if
another place is more favorable, this works on the attack decision also.
ATTACK - Let your character attacks. The range of the attack is
marked on red. On the attack screen you will choose the attack level,
when you select the level of the attack, a description of the attack and
the attack power will be on screen.
Some other things that you have to be aware of are the percentage
of hit of an attack or magic. Attack on the rear and the sides of the
enemy have a better chance to hit the enemy, also the damage inflicted
will be greater. The parameters that influence the chance of hitting or
not a character are the agility and level difference. The better your
defense and agility, the better chance to dodge and, if you're lucky,
counterattack an enemy attack. So remember that is ALWAYS better to
attack a enemy from behind, but think that sometimes sacrifice an attack
from behind to gain extra WT and have another turn faster can be a better
choice, so think what suits best each situation.
MAGIC - let your character use magic, once you select this option
select the category of magic you want: Lightning magic
Fire magic
Eye magic
Yin-yang magic
Others
Important note: The magic will be organized on this order, but IF
the character has all 4 kinds of magic. The OTHERS group of magic is
related to magic that is enabled by equipping a weapon or relic
OTHERS - Let you do special actions : Defense
Charge
Item
Call (only the leader)
Brief description - DEFENSE - let you defend this turn to reduce damage
taken. You can move before defending, but you can't
do any action (attack, magic) and defend.
CHARGE - Let you charge your spirit to gain extra TP.
ITEM - Let you use an item.
CALL - Call a person on the list if a member of your
army has been retreated form the battle, but only in
scenarios that has an escape point. You can use once
for battle and only the leader can perform this
action.
WAIT - You can wait for the next turn come faster. You can select
the wait option without making a single action or making just one action.
4) How to develop new abilities
In this game, each character begins with a weapon of choice and
some magical attribute and as said before, each weapon and magic has 10
different abilities. But you have to earn them by receiving dexterity
from successful attacks.
Houshinengi has a learning system very similar to Grandia, that is,
you learn new abilities of each category if you use that particular
category many times. Every time you attack, beside EXP that you normally
gain on a RPG, you gain DEX (dexterity) points, which help you to gain
new abilities. Each class have 10 abilities to be learned, and probably
until the end of the game you will learned all the weapons abilities but
is somewhat difficult to learn all the magic abilities. The best way to
learn a new ability is use the last one learned (it gain much more DEX
that a old attack) but you will realize that the last ability learned
isn't always the best one. Sometimes an old ability can be more
efficient. You can see the progress of learning a new ability on the
status screen.
Some abilities are more powerful than others, some have more range
and some also gives the enemy some status. So match the attack you're
your current situation and you will be fine.
5) Using magic and items
Using magic and items in this game is an easy task, mainly for two
reasons:
- You can't use a healing spell or a beneficial status on you
enemy because the game don't allow you to do that.
- Imagine that you are with a status "sleep" for example and the
game only let you use the wake-up item, and not the antidote item.
So, you can take 2 lessons for that:
- In Houshinengi you never use a magic that will, by one way or
another, will be beneficial to your enemy because you don't understand a
word of Japanese and have no idea what effect that magic has
- No more wasting precious turns and items using one that don't
have the desired effect.
That is positive on the items topics because if you don't know what
item cures what status, test it one by one to find what the item really
is (of course, this not works for the HP items, but that kind of item had
a BIG HP on the description of the item).
The fire attribute is the mainly healing magic because you can't
buy any curative items and that you will find are somewhat scarce.
The range of the item is only one, so the unit using the item only
can use it on an adjacent unit.
5) Status
You can give and receive a series of status of your allies/enemies.
Paralysis (Star) - You can't act at all (3 turns)
Charm (Heart) - Attack own allies and cure or status the love
interest (3 turns)
Darkness (Black Square) - Low hit percentage (3 turns)
Sleep (Z) - Sleep (3 turns, or wakes when hit)
Numb (Blue X) - You can't move, but can attack (3 turns)
Weakness (Red X) - You can move, but cannot attack (3 turns)
Petrify - You can't act (cure only)
Fear (Green drop) - You will move to the escape point (5 turns)
Berserk (Ray) - You will attack anyone close to you (5 turns)
Poison - Drains HP every turn.(3 turns)
Venom - Drains HP and TP every turn (Magic only)
Trap - You can't act and sometimes drains HP.
Also you can use/receive status that changes your current strength,
vitality and agility.
6) About the battlefield
Every SRPG has a battlefield and you must know everything about it.
Sometimes it can change the outcome of the battle.
- Floor
The scenarios have a variety of floors that range of stone floors
to grass, water and sand. The different kind of floors doesn't affect the
attacks or movement too much (except for water, that hinder the movement
of non-flying characters).
- Height
Of all battlefield parameters, the height is the most important of
all. Any skilled players uses the height to your advantage because when
you are on a higher ground of you enemy you can give him a stronger
attack, a better chance of defend an attack also a better range for you
weapons. Remember that the higher ground doesn't mean a victory for sure.
If you character is a +2 height of you enemy and you has a mace and the
enemy has a spear, you can't attack him but he can attack you, so be
careful to these details. The game tells you in your turn the height of
the enemy and you characters.
Some attacks don't work if you are too high or low of you enemy,
even if he is your range. In these cases the game won't let you use this
technique.
- Hidden items and traps
On the battlefield, there are hidden items and traps buried on the
ground. I think that all the scenarios have a least one hidden item, but
not every scenario has a trap. I don't think I will find every hidden
item on the game (is not my intention in the first place) but I will give
the location of the hidden items that I eventually find on the way. The
directions of the hidden items are based on the escape point, so if the
direction is (5N,3E) it means that the item is 5 steps north and 3 steps
east from the escape point. Of course, not all battles have escape points
so I try to make the directions as easy as possible.
You can get the secret item or activate a trap just stepping on the
square. Of course, flying characters can't get secret items or activate
traps.
- Changing the height
Houshinengi can let you mod the height of the scenario. The game
let you make on two different ways: Casting a magic spell or hitting the
ground with a weapon. There are 2 different kinds of magic: the ascending
magic and the descending magic. The ascending magic works making the
terrain higher, and the descending magic works making a depression on the
ground. All the ascending magic has a symbol like this on the description
of the magic.
_____
| | (For you all that is wondering what the hell
| | that is suppose to be, lets say that have a
|_____| bottle format, OK?)
The descending magic have this symbol like this: (Oh, no! Another
bad one!!!!!!!)
__ __
| |_| | (That is horrible, but if you have a artistic
|_____| sense you already figure it out that one has
a U-like shape, don't you? DON´T YOU?)
The moment you chose a magic the magic length effect screen will
appear on the field showing where you can affect the ground (much like a
range of an magic attack) the ground will be colored yellow. All the
magic works like this: the ascending magic creates a height increase like
a pyramid and the descending magic makes the opposite. The spot you place
the magic will be the highest or the lowest place of the ground and every
neighbor floors have a -1 or +1 height. To a better understanding look at
the picture.
_________________
/ __ / Let's pretend that the borders is the
/ _/+1/_ / battlefield and middle thing is the
/ /+1_ +2 +1_/ / range of a ascending magic, and this
/ /+1_/ / is how it gonna look on the end, with
/ / the middle one being the higher ground
/________________ / of all.
All the ascending and descending magic have a variable width that
ranges to 1 to 4 squares.
Some weapon attacks breaks the floor and makes that terrain -1
height. Remember that not all the kind of ground can be moved. So use
this to you advantage when the situation requires to a higher ground.
This is a huge explanation to a thing that is required only twice
on the whole game. But is a cool thing huh, maybe you use it more than I
do.
7) Tent
First of all, this game does not have any city to rest or buy
weapons. But after every battle you will build a tent. On the tent you
can perform various actions that is explained below:
TRAINING
EQUIP
PARAMETERS
OTHERS - Status
Items
Diary - Chapters
Characters
Other events
OPTIONS - Save
Load
Config
LEAVE
TRAINING - Let your characters train for leveling up and gain new
abilities. Also you can collect new items that you won't find anywhere
else in the game. Once you select the training option, you will choose a
character to train. After you choose the character, a list of enemies
will appear. The first enemy of the list is the normal enemy that you
find in the game with levels similar to yours. The other ones will ask
for a duel. The enemy level will appear on the side of their name. So, if
you skills are high enough you can challenge him (be careful because this
kind of enemy are very strong). If you challenge the special characters
and lose, you cannot duel with him again.
EQUIP - Let your characters equip new weapons that you gain after battle
or trade equipment with your team. You can equip a weapon, an armor, a
helmet and three relics that are items that can give you extra parameters
like Attack +2 and so on, and magic. Most of the powerful magic can only
be obtained by equip relics. To equip, first choose the character that
you want to equip. Two options will be available, the first one is change
the weapon, and the second is unequipping all.
PARAMETERS - Every battle that you win, beside the treasures you receive
Flowers. These flowers can be traded for maximize your parameters. The
flowers can be used to learn a new kind of weapons or magic or unlock
abilities levels that can't be obtained by normal means. The number of
flowers that you have to expend is similar to the level of the desired
skill. You can have a maximum of 99 flowers.
OTHERS: STATUS - Here you can see the status of your characters.
ITEMS - Here you can see the items collected so far, including
equipped items. Also, you can see the items that you gained after a
battle and items found on the battlefield.
DIARY - Here you can see the diary of Taikou. The diary option is
divided in 3 major sections.
First is the Chapters option. It is a quick reminder of
past events. You can replay some of the events using the triangle button.
The scenes in the walkthrough are divided just like in the diary to help
the reader.
Second is the Characters section. The character sections
are sub-divided in Allies, Enemies and Normal characters. Here you can
see a profile of each character that appears on the game so far. It is
constantly updated.
Third are the other events. It is the record of news and
rumors that you're collect on your travels. Most of it with news of the
capital city, and spreading revolts against the Ing dynasty.
CONFIG: SAVE - You can save your game here
LOAD - You can load a previously save game
OPTIONS - Change the game options
LEAVE - If you choose this option, you will leave the tent and go to the
next scene on the game.
8) Emergency battle situation
Sometimes the game will enter on a special kind of fight. I call
this the emergency battle situation. As you are progressing in the game
this kind of fight will became more and more frequent. So what are the
differences in this mode?
- WILL OF FIGHT - Before each battle there will have a brief chat
with some characters of you team and ALWAYS some character that will be
excited with the fight and have will to fight and win, and someone will
not have confidence on your own skills and don't have the will to fight.
The character with the positive will of fight deals more damage, better
defense and better TP recover. On the other side, the characters with
negative will to fight will be vulnerable to spells and damage; also his
percentage of hit will be reduced.
The characters that have the positive will to fight have a BLUE
symbol (an arrow pointing up), and the characters with negative will to
fight will have a RED symbol with an arrow pointing down. This will
change each time that have an EBS. The selection of the characters to
have the status is random. So, if you are in doubt on two characters to
pick for a fight, this status can help your selection. The main character
is also affected by this rule.
- CHARACTER SELECTION - In some battles, some characters are
required, either as leader of a particular army or fighting alongside
Taikou. On the FAQ I will tell you the characters required.
- ESCAPE POINT - On the EBS, the field has an escape point on
the edge of the field. If you step on it, it will prompt to change the
character. If you only wait in this square and don't leave, each turn you
will recover HP. It's a good strategy to leave the supporter characters
(healers, etc) in this point.
- TRAINING - In the EBS you can't train or duel, but all the
other tent options are available.
6 - - WALKTHROUGH
The game starts on heaven, Hashika ask if you are training to be
a magician, to become one of the immortal clan. She asks your name
(default name is Taikoubou, Taikou for short).

MAGICAL ABILITIES, WATCHING OVER THE LIFE OF THE HUMANS.
CHAPTER 1 - SCENE 1
Taikou and Hashika enter the temple and are greeted by Genshi
Tenson, the leader of the immortals clan. After some introduction, the
old man tells Taikou that it's time to use wisdom that he learned on the
surface. He also says that strange forces are ravaging the land and tells
him to investigate. Also tells that Hashika will help (that make her very
happy). After this, gave Taikou his first weapon. Hashika give some words
of encouragement and so, Taikou made his way to the surface.
CHAPTER 1 - SCENE 2
Taikou reaches the surface and see that the people are running
from the capital. He also found an injured-leg old man that also is
running from the village. Taikou asks why this is happening. The old man
tells Taikou that emperor guards are killing innocents and starvation is
commonplace and runs away. After that, he hears a conversation of two
people of the emperor court: a man and a white-dressed woman. They are
talking that since the death of the late emperor Shishiyu Younin the
empire don't see that many problems. He says that even the mighty general
Kou Hiko was arrested. And so, Taikou asks the directions for the palace.
On this moment, he hears a scream of a lady and come to see what it
is....
CHAPTER 1 - SCENE 3
The lady is arguing with the emperor soldiers on the presence
of his child and husband. The soldiers charge the entire family. Then
Taikou intercedes and tell them to run away. Of course, the soldiers
don't like it and a battle is inevitable. The soldiers transform it on
walking snakes. What's going on in the surface?
CONDITION OF VICTORY - DEFEAT ALL ENEMIES.
ENEMY - 3 soldiers
Hidden Item - On the same place you start on the battlefield.

0/4
Taikou is still amazed by the guard's strength, when a strange
woman called Ho Kibi comes and tells him that he must be arrested. Of
course Taikou is against the idea and knows that the woman is an emperor
send gift. Full of rage, Taikou decides to take her personally. The only
problem is that Taikou wasn't expecting sleep magic. The guards take him
inside the castle.
SAVE?
CHAPTER 1 - SCENE 4
On a large room, Taikou is taken to the emperor presence. Ho
Kibi tells the emperor that this man caused trouble to the soldiers and
even mentioned that he is from Konron. The answer is quick: The empress
called Dakki says to send him to prison to be executed. The emperor gives
his final judgement and makes the order to the counselor to make the
arrest. Dakki is pleased with his decision. Finally the emperor leaves
the room, and just in time Dakki was also leaving, Taikou says that he
won't permit it. Dakki give Taikou a cold look and Taikou feels a
presence inside Dakki: a white wolf! Dakki says that he only can make
promises that he can actually fulfill. The white-dressed woman of the
street watch silently, as the guards are taking Taikou.
CHAPTER 1 - SCENE 5
The guards throw Taikou inside the jail. And he found that he
isn't the only one on this cell, the knightly dressed man introduces
himself as Kou Hiko. After some chat why are the both in jail and Kou
Hiko says that he was a general but was betrayed and arrested. Taikou
notice that someone is coming. To the rescue, the white-dressed women. So
after opening the cell to them, give his equipment back and some words to
hurry up, an escape is possible.
NEW CHARACTER - KOU HIKO
CHAPTER 1 - SCENE 6
Some guards spot Taikou and Kou Hiko running from prison.
CONDITION OF VICTORY - DEFEAT ALL ENEMIES
ENEMY - 3 snakes
2 demons
This battle is more difficult as it seems, so don't be afraid
to use a lot of healing spells on Taikou (because if he dies, the game is
over). And help Kou Hiko to level up, attacking a lot with him.
HIDDEN ITEM - The last wooden step over the stairs
ITEMS RECEIVED - Box

Taikou is still impressed with Kou Hiko fighting skills, and
the white-dressed woman comes to show the way out.
SAVE?
CHAPTER 1 - SCENE 7
On the entrance of the castle, Taikou says to wait a second. The
next scene, people from the village is surrounded by the castle guards.
Then a massacre begins. Even children, the old ones and woman aren't
spared. Ho Kibi is the leader of the castle guards. Kou Hiko argues with
her. A guard come to attack the white-dressed woman that help you to get
out of prison, but a quick defense and a deadly counter kill the guard.
She says its time to reveal himself. On a quick move transform herself on
You Sen, but Ho Kibi says that disguises won't save them.
CONDITION OF VICTORY - DEFEAT HO KIBI
ENEMY - Ho Kibi
2 snakes
2 beasts

Helmet
Armor
Box (Fire)

SAVE?
CHAPTER 1 - SCENE 8
Kou Hiko is still shocked with the massacre and says that not so
long ago Chyuou was wise and benevolent emperor. Taikou introduces You
Sen to Kou Hiko and says that You Sen is also from the immortal clan and
well know on the mountain Konron. You Sen hears something. A kid with a
bow comes out of the woods. Kou Hiko recognizes him: it's Kou Tenshi You,
and Tenshi You calls him father. He is actually Kou Hiko youngest son.
Tenshi says that he was rescuing his father. Kou Hiko asks Tenshi about
his older brother, but Tenshi don't know his whereabouts. You Sen begin

RELEASE DATE : August, 1998
February 11, 1999 (Playstation The Best)
PRICE : 5800 yen
2800 yen (Playstation The Best)
B) Destrega preview
As I said before, this game comes with a preview of Koei's fighting
game Destrega. This game is the second fighting game produced by Koei's
Omega Team, which also developed Sangoku Musou and Shin Sangoku Musou
(Dynasty Warriors). The preview is non-playable, only a FMV that shows
scenes of the CG intro and some game sequences. Also have a narrator that
tells the game features. A final screen that tells the game release date
and the price (September 23,1998 and 5800 Yen).
I've never played Destrega, but the full 3-D fields (like Ehrgeiz)
and very cool magic attacks, the game looks nice.
C) Miscellaneous info and Limited editions.
Houshinengi is part of the Koei's 20th Anniversary series and also
has been re-released under the "Playstation The Best" label.
Houshinengi also has the special treatment of have his own limited
edition. Aizouban Houshinengi is a 2-cd set with some extras included.
The (few) information that I could find about this LE is:
- Release date: January 4, 1999
SLPM 86209
- New front and back covers.
- It has a character profile.
- Illustration and character designs.
- Pocketstation support.
- A new price tag - 6800 yen.
- Of course, there is much more to this set, and I don't know if
some of the game is changed. I believe, however, that the first CD is the
normal Houshinengi and the second CD contains the new features.
Unfortunately, I never have seen this set for sale; so if you
have this special edition and want to share some info about the LE
features, please mail me.
D ) Houshinengi 2 and Super Battle Houshin
Everyone that reads the novel of Houshinengi knows that Dakki's
"death" is only the end of the first part of the tale. Koei and Fu-Qi
also made 2 games that continue with the Houshinengi tale: that was
Houshinengi 2 and Super Battle Houshin.
Houshinengi 2 is a direct sequel of Houshinengi and begins right of
the end of the first game. Even if isn't a SRPG (looks like a real-time
RPG type of game) the game is visually cool. I've never played but when
his price lowers a little bit more, or if I can find it used somewhere I
will buy it.
Super Battle Houshin is a sidestory of the Houshin tale. It much
similar to Shin Sangoku Musou 2 (Dynasty Warriors 3), and the game is
really fun to play. This game was released in the US with the name Mystic
Heroes (Fengshen Yanyi was the first US name) and the almost everything
was redone (names and locations) but the characters designs are the same
and even the opening song is the same as Houshinengi.
