I tried one on a whim and it had a really horrible battle system. It made me think how good sRPGs from the PS1 days were. They need to put some effort into maps because after a few hours of the same map over and over you end up losing any will to play the rest of the game, unless you are enamored with the story.

Sadly, after watching gameplay videos of 2, it seems even worse because there appears to be a line and neither enemies nor you can cross. It's essentially a Visual Novel with some throw away sRPG elements.

The game is definitely not for everyone or even the hardcore JRPG player. It caters to a specific audience that have no problems with the obvious sexual innuendos & characters.

The new game changes quite a bit from previous games & the changes do take some getting use to. The battle system is still tactical but feels more like a simplified version of the battle system of Valkyrie Profile. Where each face button represents a different attack.

There is now a world map rather than the linear map of the previous games. The game sometimes do not give you an idea of what to do or go next & that may be frustrating for some.

For me personally i love these lesser known JRPGs & its anime inspired premise. Some people will not get or understand the games or even downright hate the series. That i have no problem cause like i said it is made for a specific audience & i am one of those.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5101d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905101d ago (Edited 5101d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5101d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5101d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495101d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5100d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5101d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
