is a role-playing video game for the Nintendo GameCube developed by Chunsoft and released in Japan only. The game can be played offline in single-player mode or online in multiplayer mode over the internet or on a LAN. In online mode the player can assume the role of gamemaster and create an online game for up to thirty-five other players.〔 It is one of only four titles for the GameCube designed for online play. It is unique among these games in a number of ways. It is the only one where the GameCube itself acts as the server, rather than the player using a central server. It is also the only online GameCube game that isn't a Phantasy Star Online title, and the only one not to get a release outside of Japan. Images of the game can be seen on the (official ''HOMELAND'' website ) (in Japanese). ==Gameplay== ''HOMELAND'' features nonlinear gameplay with branching storylines and multiple endings, and (especially in multiplayer mode) co‑operative gameplay. The player begins by choosing his or her avatar (a boy or a girl) and giving it a name. Next there is an introductory sequence of events in which the player answers a few questions that will determine which two "mascots" the player will have from the start. A mascot is a sort of avatar that the player's avatar transforms into before setting off on an adventure. Each mascot has different attributes and skills, and more mascots can be acquired in subsequent adventures through the accumulation of "clear points" for clearing certain events. In one storyline however, the player does not select a mascot but enters the adventure world as the original avatar, named for the girl and for the boy. Players begin each new adventure at level 1 and level up as they acquire experience points. A distinctive feature of ''HOMELAND'' is the ability of players to join hands and form a chain in order to combine their stats and special attributes. Communication is displayed as voice bubbles coming from the player characters (PC) and from the non-player characters (NPC). In weakened characters the background color of the voice bubbles changes from white to yellow and eventually to red when they are almost defeated. Distant voices appear as smaller voice bubbles near the edge of the screen. Players can be equipped with weapons, shields and accessories, and can carry a very limited number of items. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Homeland (video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
