Acquire announces Mind 0 for PS Vita
A 3D school dungeon RPG joint-developed with Zerodiv.
March 18, 2013 / 11:28 PM EDT / Sal Romano (@salromano)

Acquire’s recently teased PlayStation Vita game is called Mind 0 (stylized MIND≒0), the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals.  

The game, developed in collaboration with Class of Heroes studio Zerodiv, is a dark and stylish school dungeon RPG featuring character designs by Kyo, scenario by Minato Kushimachi, and sound by Zizz Studio.

The game will have two worlds—the real world and a crazy spiritual world—the latter in which players can use a special MIND (Mental Inside Nobody Doll) ability to call forth their Persona-like counterparts. It will have fully voiced scenes, 3D turn-based battles, and 2D adventure game-like conversation scenes. When you strike enemies, you’ll see onomatopoeic words like “Barin!” and “Zugyan.”

Settings include Akihabara, Yokohama, Amamiya, and Nippori. It should be noted that these are written in kanji different from the names of the actual areas in Japan. The game starts at Saitama Prefecture high school.

Find a set of characters and their voice actors below:

  • Kei Takanashi (小鳥遊慧) (voiced by Tomokazu Sugita) – The protagonist. He’s cool and caring.
  • Sana Chiaki (千景さな) (voiced by Rina Satou) – The heroine. She enjoys physical activity, is loyal, quick to act, and relied on by everyone. Her MIND is an elf-like character.
  • Shishi Akihina (朝比奈獅子) (voiced by Yuichi Nakamura) – An endlessly cheerful dope. His MIND is a demon-looking character.
  • Youichi Okata (緒方洋一) (voiced by Takehito Koyasu) – A detective. His MIND is a Japanese doll-like character.

Development on Mind Zero is currently 70 percent complete. The game is due out this summer for 6,279 yen in Japan.

Thanks, Game Nyarth.

Hmm... i reserve judgement for when we get better screenshots. Its hard to tell with all the bluryness. The art style looks interesting and dark though.



^ No it looks like my dear ACQUIRE ripped Persona off in more ways than one( Setting, style, and stand stuff)



i like all the vita love lately.



Hopefully it's easier to understand then Persona 4 I've been play it for awhile now and some mechanics are so confusing.



Around the Network

If it's good, I don't case it's a rip-off. Good RPGs on Vita = win and a sure purchase for me. Just bring it to the West.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

LOL Jesus Christ.

- school setting with real world and "spirit" world
- supernatural avatars
- 3D turn based fights with manga-style visual sound effects
- story content delivered in exact same way
- the character descriptions sound like P4's protagonist, Chie, Kanji and an actually male Naoto

All we need is a relationship system used to power up your avatars, and it's all there. Hilarious. XD
