LynnTerra Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I ended up dishing out for the game, though I will admit I haven't opened it yet. Mostly because I have so many, already opened, games I'm currently working on to finish up for achievements before I dig into another. From what I've read of the reviews it is a really hard/frustrating RPG. None the less I have loved the gameplay videos I've seen of it so far (thus my purchase) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDVS Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I was thinking about getting this but i have never heard much about it so i figured its just a crap game. Am i wrong? "Crap Game"? No. It's just not a Triple-A, Major Franchise, Multi-Million Dollar Advertised game. It's not a game for everyone, even fans of JRPG's. The blunt reality of this game is: Story IS lame/crap. No arguing that. Challenge is high. Especially starting out. Customization is deep, no "set way" to build your characters. Combat is very unique, interactive, awesomely fun! This is a game more suited for true fans of JRPG's, who like more than the average "level up til I can kill 'em all" strategy. This game will push you at times, but when you get thru it, it all is so worth it. If the game had a great story (as any RPG should), it would be a AAA title for sure. Hoping for a sequel!

judd90 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 When you say JRPG you mean Japanese yeah? I got it anyway because it was cheap, ill play around with it when i finish with the few i'm playing now. I watched a few video's and read some reviews, it doesn't seem too bad. It just depends on who's rating it by the looks of things because theres different ratings getting thrown around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moetrich Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 it's a really great game once you know what to do ;-) the fights are hard, especially in the beginning, and you have to learn everything by yourself, there is no real tutorial, just the arena. so, it's best to head to the arena right in the beginning to learn how to fight. story is totally crap, no one seems to get it. but i liked the characters. and the absolutely unique battle system makes it a great game imho.

zkaminski Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I received this game for the holidays, and have been playing it faithfully since. True - there are parts that you pull your hair out and the battle system is so different that I wouldn't recommend this to anyone new to JRPG's. As far as the story - It's a bit sparse, but I still thought it was good. This game was released at about the same time as Final Fantasy XIII, so it didn't get the media coverage it deserved. I think that's why this became a "lost gem". Great game, and I would recommend you pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huber215 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I thought it was going to be so-so but it actually turned out to be a pretty fun game. Battle system takes some time to get completly used to but I would say it is worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JemVoid Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I thought it was going to be so-so but it actually turned out to be a pretty fun game. Battle system takes some time to get completly used to but I would say it is worth the money. Figuring out the battle system is indeed a pain in the ass when you just got started, but yeah after a while it's a pretty cool game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElaineDeShalott Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I was just about to post this same question. I think my library has this game. Maybe I'll check it out for an extended trial. I'll have to give it enough time if the battle system is tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanceRandyDance Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I had a tough time getting used to the combat system, and regretted buying the game momentarily, but once I finally got a hold of it, I've fallen in love with the game.

trailerdj36 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Bought this off Marketplace for $25 bucks and it is worth it if you like RPGs....ive read it takes over 100 hours to get 1000/1000, so this will buy me the time i need until FF XIII-2(which I LOVED after playing demo).

The Splatterpus Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Whats it like? Is it like Final Fantasy or is it its own game? It is most definitely it's own game, the only thing that FF and ROF have in common are they are both JRPG's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailerdj36 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 You can get it relatively cheap now and its worth every penny...the learning curve is steep at first but once you grasp it, its a very fun game....get it now before it disappears into the "cant find it anywhere" category.

zoro724 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 once u know how to play the game it is really good however the endless grinding is so annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theratis Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I got this game (PS3 edition) last week for 12 euros (new copy, shipping included). I was browsing around and saw the price and just couldn't resist. I'm in chapter 4 now and while the game is enjoyable, there's no story at all. Not even a hint of one, my guys are just doing their thing. There's funny dialogue in there and a combat system that's already putting me to the test, so it's a good purchase anyway. So far I don't find it a triple A title and not worthy of $60, nor is it "RPG is redefined" as the game's poor grammar on the back suggests, but it's a solid RPG anyway. Basically this is like every other current-gen Tri-Ace game out there: Solid but flawed in enough levels to make it annoying to play sometimes.

olthof75 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yes. Once you get used to it, it is a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mollite Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 To anyone reading this in the future: The game has a quite abrupt difficulty curve on the start, but once you get the hang of the battle mechanics is quite enjoyable. Very good game, a shame most likely there won't be a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
