“NGS” has collaborated with various anime and games in the past, and although “NGS” is set in the near future where VR equipment has been developed, “Shangri-La Frontier,” also known as “Shangfro,” is an online RPG similar to “NGS,” so it’s a perfect match.
This collaboration will feature various items related to “Shangri-La” that can be used mainly in the “NGS” game. In this article, we would like to introduce some of the high level of reproduction and the attention to detail that went into the production.
You can learn about “Shangri-La” through this collaboration, or you can prepare for the second season of the TV anime starting in October 2024, so take this opportunity to get to know “NGS” and “Shangri-La”!
First off, must-sees are the acrylic stand-type build parts for Sanraku, Saiga-0, Arthur Pencilgon, and Oikazzo.
Many people will remember the exploits of Sanraku, Arthur Pencilgon, and Oikaczo, who defeated the unique monster “Gravekeeper Weatheremon” in “Shangri-La”. I would love to display these three together.
As for Saiga-0, it seems that the player who controls it, Saiga Rei, has a crush on Sanraku’s player, Yomuro Rakurou, so it might be a good idea to display him next to Sanraku while praying that his feelings will come true.
These build parts can be obtained as a login bonus, so we recommend that you log in to the game regularly during this period.
Also, don’t miss the avatar items and weapon camouflage that allow you to become Sanraku, Saiga-0, Arthur Pencilgon, Oikaczo, etc. These are drawn from the so-called gacha “AC Scratch” that can be drawn using AC (Arks Cash), which is a paid point.
The layering wear is a costume item, and by wearing it together with accessories, you can become the character.
Sanraku was cursed by Lycaon of the Night Attack and can barely wear any armor, and is equipped with the Gazing Bird Mask on his head, but the fact that you can run around the field in the same perverted style as him makes NGS a very generous game.
Saiga-0 is a female player using a male avatar. She is a skilled female player who hides her face behind heavy equipment, and there is no doubt that there are people who are interested in her, so if you want to become her, then you should definitely try drawing her and equipping her.
Pencilgon’s avatar item can transform into a beautiful female avatar, just like in the anime. However, there is no PK in “NGS”, so please be careful not to play too lewdly.
Oikazzo is a male player who uses a female avatar, the opposite of Saga-0. In these types of games, the costumes of the female avatars are often cuter and more elaborate, so even men can’t help but choose them. If you sympathize with him or have chosen a female avatar, this is your chance to enjoy playing NGS in Oikazzo’s costume.
Additionally, the “weapon camouflage” that recreates the weapons used by each character in the story, such as the Deadly Knife, the Black Spear Zambalaria, and Fist Ki, are a must-have for fans of Shangri-La Frontier.
The ones I particularly wanted were the twin-edged form of the Twin Daggers and Dual Blades, and the combined form of the Wand and Sword of the Rabbit Moon [Sougentsuki]. Also, the God-Demon Great Sword and its inverted weapon camouflage shown by Saiga-0 when he fought Pencilgon in episode 19 of the first season of the TV anime.
If it’s going to be implemented, we want to see both forms. Why not equip it and fight in battles like the Sanraku and Saiga-0 in the game?
In addition, with AC Scratch, you can also get a paint-type portable hologram inspired by the clan mark, as well as voice-over stamps featuring memorable scenes from the series.
Another thing to note is the Mag Form of Emuru, which can be obtained by using the bonus number of times. Emuru is like Sanraku’s partner, and is an NPC who adventures with him. Fans of “Shangri-La” will want to see him somewhere. It’s great to see such a character being implemented as a Mag Form.
To give a simple explanation for those who don’t know, in the “Phantasy Star Online” game series, there is an item called “Mag” that acts as a kind of helper unit that supports the player, and not only highly functional ones but also those with cute or cool looks are popular.
このマグフォルムを手に入れることで、そのマグの見た目をエムルに変更できるのです。サンラクのアバターアイテムとこのマグフォルムを装備すれば、気分はもう『シャンフロ』。今にも「はいな！」という声が聞こえてくるのではないかと錯覚せざるを得ません。
『シャンフロ』ファンならずとも、アニマリアのように可愛いモンスターに目のないプレイヤーの方もきっと欲しくなるはず。ぜひこの回数ボーナスが獲得できるところまでは、ＡＣスクラッチに挑戦したくなるのではないかと。
また、エムルに関してはアクセサリーに“肩乗りエムル”というアイテムも用意されています。エムルがサンラクの肩や背に乗っている姿は『シャンフロ』作中でも見られていた光景ですので、こちらもゲットしてみてはいかがでしょうか。
以上、『NGS』×『シャンフロ』コラボの見どころを一部ご紹介しました。開催期間は8月21日（水）から9月18日（水）までとなります。ぜひサンラクたちのような気持ちで『NGS』を遊んでみましょう！
