Nippon Ichi Software has announced Rhapsody: 25th Anniversary Collection for PlayStation 5 and Switch, the latest issue of Weekly Famtisu reveals. It will launch physically on August 29 in Japan for 10,978 yen, and includes a set of original artwork reprints, an art book, the original soundtrack, and a special box.

Rhapsody: 25th Anniversary Collection will feature the full Rhapsody series—Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess, and Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom.

In the west, Nippon Ichi Software’s western branch NIS America released a collection called Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles on August 29, 2023 in North America and September 1, 2023 in Europe. However, unlike Rhapsody: 25th Anniversary Collection, Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles only includes Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess and Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom, and not Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure.

In Japan, both Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess and Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom are already available for PlayStation 5 and Switch as individual digital releases. Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is also available for Switch as a digital purchase in Japan, and via Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 3 in the west. Rhapsody: 25th Anniversary Collection will mark the first time it is available for PlayStation 5, and the PlayStation 5 version will also be available as an individual digital release for 3,278 yen.

Though...Crea? Cello? It's been four years and you're wearing the exact same outfits! Well, larger sizes since they're not kids anymore but still! And Kururu found her grandmother's earrings, it seems.

I'll have to see in Chapter 2 if they're still in said same outfits...

I waited a mind-blowing TWENTY-FOUR (24!!) years for Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess to be released in North America! I can't believe I had to wait twice as long as the amount of time elapsed in the plot between Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure and Rhapsody II!! I got the Marl Kingdom Chronicles box set, the full contents of which I'll show you another time. I'm loving the second game so far! I put some images and reactions under a cut to hide spoilers. Enjoy the cuteness! 🎺💖

+ Rhapsody II features Kururu and Crea, the daughters of Rhapsody I heroines Cornet and Etoile. Etoile is my favorite character from the original game and I'm finding her daughter especially hilarious already. I cannot believe Etoile named her daughter Createur!! It's not as if Cornet did much better though... Princess Kurusale Cherie Marl Q is quite a name 😂

+ One difference from the first game is that Rhapsody II has a more straightforward RPG battle system rather than a tactical RPG style. Also, summoning puppets to battle on your behalf now costs Inotium, the in-game currency.

+ Puppets from the first game appear in the second game, though sometimes they are at different ages than when Cornet first met them. Ledgem appears as a cute baby, for instance!

+ Unlike the first game, the songs in this second musical adventure appear with English translations but no English vocal tracks, as far as I've seen. The dialogue does feature some great English voice acting though. Crea and Kururu say surprisingly funny things in battle.

+ On the whole, Rhapsody II is living up to my hopes and I'm really excited to keep exploring!

Muestran un avance de 'Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles'

El nuevo gameplay de 'Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles' destaca el RPG de 'Rhapsody II' que muestra @nisamerica.

TeraGames / InsurgentePress, Ciudad de México.- Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles trae un par de secuelas de la franquicia de videojuegos Rhapsody a occidente por primera vez, y se ha fijado una fecha para su lanzamiento. Podremos tener en nuestras manos Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess y Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom cuando la colección llegue a PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch…

Interactive ending...I see. Of course you can either walk down the long stairs with only four characters or you can teleport out of the forest entirely and walk back to the castle. Since there's another Ledgem right outside the castle why not just teleport to the outside of the castle for this...

Ah, well. Finishing up credits and post-credits scene so I can continue onward.
