But, PANGYA: Fantasy Golf will only allow you entry into tournaments if you go through the course's qualifying games to earn a license to play there, so you won't just be able to hop into any tournament right off the bat. You will also be able to play in various tournaments at multiple locations around the PANGYA Islands world. But while each story is stand-alone, the developers promised that they would intertwine with each other to give players a bigger picture of the overall story. The game will feature several modes that include a Story Mode featuring a unique path for each character. Another ball, the Watermelon, will have slices flying all over the screen when you hit it, but it will roll extra far once it hits the ground. This particular Aztec has more power and distance. One of the developers commented that they enjoyed the Bomber Aztec which looks like a classic bomb complete with lit fuse. These consumable items (so yes, you will have to keep buying new ones as you play through the game) will have similar affects on your character's abilities, but they also have some interesting visual designs. You can also buy balls (called "Aztecs") from the shop. But the clubs won't be the only thing affecting your character's abilities. Visually, these can look like anything from standard clubs to umbrellas, hammers and even medieval weapons, and their effects on the characters' stats will affect everything from power and control, to accuracy, spin and curve. Besides the base-stats on your character itself, you will be able to purchase a wide assortment of golf clubs (or "Air Lances" as they are referred to in the game). PANGYA: Fantasy Golf will also host a wide variety of stat-altering objects that you can equip your characters with, as well as a bunch of one-swing potions that will have a variety of effects on your character. But it isn't just the characters that gives PANGYA it's unique feel. Characters include everything from your basic princess, to your brooding goth-kid with a dark past and even a massive dragon. While most games will attempt to go with photo-realistic versions of actual golfers, or maybe even take a slightly cartoonish approach to their character design ( Hot Shots Golf), PANGYA: Fantasy Golf goes for an extreme with their anime characters that would look more appropriate in a Final Fantasy or Blue Dragon game than a golfing sim. The most noticeable thing about PANGYA that adds to this twist is the playable characters. PANGYA takes all of the standard golf mechanics power and accuracy meters, golf club and ball stats, complex holes and tournaments, but puts a JRPG twist on things to make it appealing to a wider audience. But either way, it is sure to turn a few heads, for both hardcore golfing gamers and those looking for something a bit more casual that doesn't necessarily take itself seriously. For one, it is the company's first venture onto a Sony system, and for another, it is a game being ported from Korea that has a lengthy history as a PC-based multiplayer golf simulator. PANGYA: Fantasy Golf is an unusual entry by TOMY for several reasons.
