Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom (天使のプレゼント マール王国物語, Angel's Present: Marl Kingdom Story)

Release dates Japanese (PS2): December 21st, 2000 English (Nintendo Switch, PS5, Steam): August 29th, 2023

"In Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom, music and love weave their way through the past, present, and future! As the concluding installment of the stories of the Marl Kingdom and its characters, this is one magical story you won't want to miss.

Though true love is the destination, there are many magical paths that can lead you to it. Experience the stories of Cornet, the ruler of the Marl Kingdom, her daughter Kururu, the 'Tomboy Princess,' and other lovestruck souls in Marl Kingdom, all of which span the past, present, and future of the Rhapsody series. Tales of true love both new and old await you, including the fate of Kururu's impending marriage, two starcrossed lovers and their warring families, and the journey of Cornet’s mother, Cherie. The trials and tribulations each of these characters face will put their hearts to the test like never before. Will true love truly prevail?"

This is the third and final game in the Rhapsody series - a trilogy of romantic comedy musical JRPGs - released in English for the first time.

You can get the Steam version here, the PS5 version here, or the Nintendo Switch version here! The console releases contain both Rhapsody II and Rhapsody III, under the name "Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles".

The first Rhapsody I play was on the Nintendo DS. It didn't follow a tactical role-playing game but a normal RPG. Also that was first time playing Nippon ichi software game.

Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles Limited Edition

Should you get this limited edition?

Kinda yes, if you're a fan? But this release still uses some scummy practices.

More info under the cut!

General info

Version: Limited edition

As it is customary with NIS these days, they release their games digitally, the physical version gets bumped to a "deluxe edition" with bonuses that aren't worth the price, and the limited edition gets the actual bonuses.

Normal price: $49.99 Limited edition price: $89.99

That's roughly 80% more than the normal price of the game.

"Bare minimum"

Game: Included (Nintendo Switch or PS5),

Special box: Included,

Soundtrack: Included, most probably the full soundtrack for both games - store pages mention 2-disc original soundtrack for both of the included games,

Artbook: Included, although it is not known whether it is a quality artbook (containing not just art from the game, but also concept art, etc.) or just a collection of available-elsewhere prerenders.

Actual bonuses

"Royal Crescendo" Art Cards: for all it matters, 3 postcard-sized (hopefully) printouts

2 Acrylic Displays

"The Show Must Go On" Cloth Poster

Extra information

This is one of the two ways to obtain this release physically. The other one - "Deluxe Edition" - includes "Mini Art Book" and "Double-sided Mini Poster", none of which are available in this edition. It is a bit concerning that the only way to obtain the game physically is to get a version with, possibly, unneeded bonuses padding the price.

Moreover, this is a re-release for 20+ games, with just some quality changes.

All in all

Surprisingly enough, this isn't the most overpriced limited edition around. For $40, you get 2 full soundtracks for the included games - most probably the main selling point of this edition - and some other paperweights that NISA habitually adds to this type of releases. This is arguably worth the price.

However, you cannot obtain the soundtracks anywhere else, which means that the only easy way to obtain those is through this limited edition, which comes with other bonuses which pad out the price. What's more, the kinda acceptable price of the set comes from the fact that this is the typical price for NISA's limited editions. If the games were released separately, the limited editions for each of the games would probably sell at the same price point. This is not example of a fairly-priced limited edition, this is an accident caused by a set pricepoint.

Kururu demonstrates the horrible truth: you either die a hero, or you live long enough to become a villain.

NISA Europe is conducting a survey for Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles (ie Little Princess and Angel's Present). There's no indication that this survey is strictly for European customers, so please give your feedback on the new English releases of the Marl games!
