I've never played a Persona or SMT game, and I've only ever played one Fire Emblem game (too scarce or expensive too soon after release!). So, when I saw the initial trailers for this game, I was perhaps even more confused than most people. However, I was a little intrigued. I loved that it had a bright, colorful world and a generally happy vibe. I liked that the "dark" elements seemed "dark" in the way that Kingdom Hearts handles evil. Still, it was very difficult to get a sense for what the game was about and how it played. Yesterday I watched the Treehouse Live coverage of the game and I was blown away!! It looks so fun! I love the creativity. I love how different it is but also familiar if you have been a fan of anime or just Japanese pop culture in general. I love that there is a central theme surrounding "performa," the life energy that fuels artistic performances like singing, playing music, dancing and acting. So cool! I love how the world looks complex but simple to navigate and understand. I love how the art style is outlandishly cute and colorful but doesn't feel the need to lean on chibi/SD styles to do it. For a little while, Kingdom Hearts was my favorite game; this is giving me a similar vibe in all the best ways. After yesterday's treehouse demo, this game rose to my top game of E3. Other games will likely be better made and .... make more sense. =P But, in terms of something that is new (at least to me) and still looks like a deep, legitimate effort? I'm very excited! The pessimist in me feels like now that I'm so interested they are going to cancel the localization. Because frankly, I can't believe a game whose central theme is something so fun and non-threatening like becoming a JPOP idol or an actor is coming to the west. Add in the stylish battle segments and cool mystical transformations and the ability to increase affinity between characters (that's in FE too, right?) and I find it super, super enticing! ... how alone am I in my excitement for this simultaneously wacky yet grounded game?

Buy a copy and return it later? I'm tempted to do that. I did this, and my entire order can be returned/refunded, shipping included. Probably too late for this, but yeah. I was off, sorry. (Just talk to the people you pre-ordered from.. Or did you go online?) @DeputyVanHalen@chrisbg99So, not holding Gui's feet to the fire (or Gui's guy), but how do you feel it stacks up against Xenoblade, if a comparison can be made? I actually waited a couple times for them to explain stuff in-game, and they didn't, so that worried me a little bit. I'm still figuring out battle completely (3 and a half hours in), and I haven't had a chance to upgrade any armor yet. I guess the system for weapons is cool, but it worries me a little bit how small the pool is? This has to expand somehow, doesn't it? And its reminiscent of the way that Tales of Symphonia allowed for upgrades (with materials); always a fan of that. As for the actual flow of Battle, took me right back to Arc Rise Fantasia again, a battle system which I've been very high on since first playing that many years ago. I know it got panned because of voice acting, and actually stopped some people from getting it, so I gotta wonder how many people were exposed to that wonderful layout. I see we've got SP points here, which seem to work like AP points, though I haven't been able to use more than 1 at a time, and that was just in my special DLC 'spheres. But yeah, the Chain/Session is a thing that was definitely around before this game. I liked it then, I liked it now, but its not new. I've only been in that first area and the Bloom place so far; are you guys way ahead? And I'm liking it so far, but my pants have not been blown off. |
