The Story Behind Uncharted Waters

The Saturn and PlayStation version contained enhanced FMV opening cutscenes. The game introduces a 3D-environment with DirectX 9.0c capabilities. Rota Nova was released by KOEI on March 23, 2006, for the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS.

In Japan, the term "daikoukai jidai" refers to the Age of Discovery, the period between the 15th century and the 17th century when European explorers sailed the seas to open new alternative ways to Asia when the Ottoman Empire blocked the land routes. The player can also continue the game by marrying bar-girls and having children, who in turn can continue the seafaring tradition and even take on part of his father's skills and inventory. When fame levels reach required amounts, the player unlocks new areas of the world.
