Odin Sphere remake coming June 7, character art still amazing

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir—I don't know how to pronounce that either—arrives on PlayStation 4, PS3, and Vita on June 7. It's an all-encompassing remake of the original Odin Sphere (2007) on PS2. We might have given the original a 9 out of 10. Eight years later, it's still one of the most gorgeous series of images to ever grace a video game.

A 64-page softcover artbook will accompany off-the-shelf purchases of Leifthrsir at participating retailers. George Kamitani, the artist behind Odin Sphere, is still one of the hottest in the game. He's posted a good chunk of images from the artbook on his Facebook. The words are Japanese but I'm not usually looking through artbooks for the prose. The U.S. release will, of course, be translated into English.
