Product Description |
The world descended into chaos the day the demonic realm of Besek appeared. Creatures known as the Majin emerged, wreaking havoc and destroying everyone's way of life. They captured the Princess of Valdia and imprisoned her in their lair. Now, brave adventurers throughout the land have set out to explore the Majin homeland. Some wish to rescue the princess; some seek fame and glory; some merely want revenge. However, there are those who look to harness the Majin's dark powers, for it is rumored that deep within Besek lies the Eternal Poison, a legendary treasure able to make your deepest desires come true. Travel the paths of some of these adventurers, and as their tales unfold, you will discover the true meanings of romance, heroism, madness, despair, and betrayal...

Atlus has done it again |
|
I'm becoming a big fan of Atlus, and this game is why. Like others have said, the artwork is indeed breath taking and just makes it that much better. And yes, the battle animations are fun for a couple battles, but it takes all 5 seconds to turn them off (which is a good idea after a short time). As fun as it is, though, one dumb move and you can find yourself quite frustrated for quite some time. |

Beautiful graphics, somewhat clumbersome mechanics |
Others have already gushed about the graphics, so I'll skip to the gameplay. Compared to many other RPGs, this one can feel very limited in what you can do. There's basically no actual exploration, you basically go through a series of dungeons and try to kill all the monsters present. There's a few branches where you can choose which dungeon to advance to next, but that's about it. While this basically means there isn't a "grind" per se, it does mean you might have trouble dealing with later enemies if you didn't level sufficiently in previous dungeons. There also isn't the usual menu most people expect in RPGs that let them set equipment and such. You also can't save in the middle of a dungeon. This and a few other small details can make the entire thing feel rather cumbersome, so it definitely isn't for everyone. However, that doesn't mean the game can't be fun. The battles do force you to be rather creative/conservative, especially after getting mobbed the third time and having your entire party slaughtered.
This game can be fun, just know what you're getting into. |

I love this game! |
I love this game. It's refreshing, and exciting.
I'm only writing this to warning others about the 2 people giving this game a low score.
They complain about "cut scences" during battle. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CUT SCENCES. You can turn them off in options, and never seen them again.
I just wanted to let every know who is considering this game not to be turned off by their comments about cut scences.

Ooh Man, why did I by this? |
OK this game has some good art work, but it doesn't overwhelm you enough to forget about how long and drawn out the battles are. The battle maps are way too big for this style of game. Be prepared to spend 15 to 45 minutes per battle, there is way too much moving around, and the cut scene for every hit sucks. I just got to the point of hitting X as soon as it opened up to skip the attacks. I didn't care how much damage I did or got, it's just way to pointless to have this for every attack.
There isn't a whole lot of movie cut scenes most of it is like Wild Arms 4 where you have comic book style and a whole lot of dialogue. The few cuts scenes the where animated where fun to watch, very entertaining, but that's just about where the game leaves off. I got very bored of this game right away, and I love strategy games. I went back to playing Star Ocean while I am waiting for another game to come in. |

First Impression |
|
As previous reviews have stated this is a very stylish game, but that is where my praise ends. There is a huge flaw in the actual gameplay, which makes wonder who launched this from the editing block. Every time you attack, and I mean -every- little melee attack, the game leaves the battle map to load a cut scene animation. I wouldn't mind this for special moves, but SRPG battles are time-consuming enough with the simple animations taking place on the map. It's distracting, boring, and renders the game unplayable for a person with limited free time. |
