    So this is the 3ds game wrote by Yoshitaka Murayama (Suikoden). I'll have to get a hold of a Switch copy. Nice review.

    Literally just found this video I guess because I only discovered u a year ago, but wow this looks amazing and may have to get a hold of it I hope it is decently long I love long rpgs because when the story is good and it's long it makes me feel like I'm part of it by immersing myself into it so yeah I would love this.

    I did the game on 3DS and I'm disappoint that they have not add more content in this version. This game have a lot of plot hole, the villain and secondary character are so under developed. The main antagonist/final boss is meh. The world building is nice, but I think they could add one more realm. At first, the game is easy, but be prepare when you are in the Snow Realm there is a big difficulty spike, because of a certain event in the castle (people who have play the game will understand). The soundtrack is really good (I love Masashi Hamauzu work).

    I really enjoyed this on 3DS, but never managed to finish it. I'd definitely say it's worth picking up, but the price tag is a bit steep for a port of a 3DS game to me. When it drops in price, I'd definitely recommend it- especially for SaGa fans.

  • @Belgariad87
    @Belgariad87 4 года назад

    I definitely don't think this is the best game on the 3ds, but since i missed it before it might be worth a buy on switch now. It kinda gives me a "Golden Sun" pacing feel to it, which i'm down for anytime.

    >no grinding
    Not so fast there, muchacho! Unless you've been blessed by the RNG gods, each battle is a chance to increase HP, SP, talent points, awaken new moves, increase attack power, and level up weapon skills. In my opinion, I think the game is very grindy. Not until you unlock new game+ / EX does the game really allow you to flesh out your characters.

    • @archangelmichael1978
      @archangelmichael1978 3 года назад

      All that aside, this game is SO GOOD that you'll be anxious to play the NG+/EX after beating it. Expect your first play through to be a frickin trainwreck. The next play through will run like a well oiled machine making it even more satisfying. Honestly, this was such a great game that even though I've beaten it 5 times on the 3DS, I'd gladly buy it again on the Switch to revisit the old game for another play through. I love it.

      I can't remember how it was in the 3DS version, but this one allows you to save anywhere, but then deletes the data upon loading it up. Also, don't forget that it has the old school "save anywhere on the world map" system.

    Sorry, but it's a bit weird here that people are playing RPG and complaining about the level up that it takes time and grinding... that's a RPG is for. Just go play and stick to Hack/SLASH games.. those are the ones who doesn't need to grind. Just battle your way through by skills. Don't touch RPG game dear reviewer. You're one of the players that destroyed most RPG games because somehow they listen to your kind. There is hardly old school RPG left with grinding and meaning to level up. Go away please

    • @HeiwaJiyu
      @HeiwaJiyu 4 года назад

      It depends on the RPG. I don't think that Grind is a necessary part of an RPG. It can be fun when done right, but honestly most of the time it felt more like a chore and wasn't fun at all. Plus it's a bit presumptuous of you to tell him to never touch an RPG again just because he doesn't enjoy grind as much as you do. There are plenty of awesome RPGs out there where you don't have to grind hours for levels.
