FYI this game was made backwards compatible, but as of July 22, 2023 the publisher Ubisoft has pulled it from the XBox Store so now you must own a physical copy, or have previously purchased the download, to play it.
F***ing Ubisoft, they have to be up there in my top three worst companies for video game preservation. #1 being obviously Nintendo, #2 being EA and #3 Ubisoft
Well... I'm sure glad I still have my xbox 360 and this game then. I just started thinking about this game again and came to this video to see if it was as fun as I remember, since I never got around to finishing it.
I remember when I first bought this game at a GameStop. Damn clerk tried to stop me saying the game was garbage. Man I'm so glad I didn't listen to him. Such an awesome game.
Well if that was true he failed. He also steered me away from star ocean I believe. But I think that was a subscription issue. It's ok I walked away with the better game
@@sloth126 I got both Star ocean and this game, theyre both so good! I think it just depends on where your preferences lie. Although there was one reason that growing up I loved playing star ocean (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Reimi sure was a sight for my teen eyes 😂
Let it be known. At one point in time it could be claimed that Enchanted Arms was the best RPG on the 360... as it was the first one for the console....
Me too my son who was like 10 years old and I played this game so many years ago .. looking back it triggers so many memories . We are Final Fantasy fans and this game was just the right medicine in between FF titles 🤓
It is still a 10/10 game to me. Since it was my first JRPG I had ever played. Being poor I didn't have much but when my mother and father got me a Xbox 360 with a handful of games. This one hit the mark. fast-forward a couple years later and playing it again I really learned to appreciate the game. Plus I really love the combat system and having a monster (golem) in my squad whenever I got one.
Had this on 360 back in the day I was 12 I think? (26 now) and the amount of hours I sunk into this game was unbelievable, I was seriously addicted to it, something about owning overpowered golems and collecting them all, did several playthroughs aswell, I loved the all of the shrines, first time I fought one of the shrine guardians I found it by mistake and got destroyed, and eventually went on to go grab omega, the only golem you’d ever need, and I’ve recently learnt it’s backwards compatible on Xbox one...may just have buy one... thanks for the trip down memory lane
Funny how this game got a different console release that actually did change things/added things about the game (Maybe the PS3 was the complete version I don't know) you'd think there would be other games fighting for such things, but it was a neat surprise I do kind of wish this game got a sequel or prequel I kind of like the world and Golems
@@TheKpa11 tbh i could never put my finger on it atsuma was such a funny character that he just uplifted everyone elses performance the entire golem world they build i would LOVE to know more about anything prequal sequal anything idgaf diffrent cast same world idc i want more the gameplay was actually fun asf all i would want would be MORE MORE MORE more golems more characters to choose from make it bigger i have pre much no complaints about the game at all other then the random dificulty spikes you will never see coming xD
man i miss this game... I loved playing it right at launch. skipped school and everything to get it. Never regretted it. Yeah the voice acting was rough, but the game play was so smooth. I even went back and did a Asuma/golem only run, which really took the experience to another level once i got some decent golems. I especially loved the giant winged tiger boss Omega and white tiger. they are both so damn cool!
The perfect remaster 1. Of course better character models and better environment grpahics with new rails or bricks or anything 2. Make it an even 200 golems to collect 3. And faster character movement Great game the way it is but I'd buy the remaster
really want them to remaster this or make a sequel to it because the mechanics and the core concept of the game was so good. the golems were also such an amazing concept
One of the most interesting details is the 999 level cap but you don't really need it. I've never gotten 999 level but it's a nice thought for a detail you dont need really. One of my favorites The only location I can think of that the 999 would be handy is the shrine which is post game material. That's about it imo. Have fun if you do
I remember when this game was new, used to see it but thought "looks generic and not worth it", years after looked at some gameplay and thought "it's just ok", now i have a more positive look on this, also come to love bad voice acting in older games so looking forward to playing this one day. I think this is one of those games that time will make people appreciate it more, slowly but surely.
I was a teen when I rummaged through the weird discounted xbox games at walmart back in early 2000's. Found this gem and honestly one of the best games I've ever played. Pretty sure I still have it.
Most people in the west dont seem to like Japanese RPGs anymore because the Final Fantasy games are almost the only ones that still get any real attention here nowadays. Its almost only western RPGs that get attention in the mainstream gaming media these days.
NGL this was my favorite game for a time being. I just loved the gameplay and how the story ended on the 360. Sure it was cheesy and simplistic but I throughly enjoyed it. Also after first playing on the 360 then the ps3 the death of toya was a backstab similar to how ghost and roach went down :'(. Also that ending song gets me everytime.
@@NinjaSushi2 yes. I'm guessing the game released on the playstation first so they had plans for a second in the series. So they needed toya to act as a magicore. But then after the poor sales they rushed the story with the ice queen and infinity. I think.
Glad you brought some truth to my first RPG/Childhood Game, I will miss this game dearly, if a Enchanted Arms 2 Ever Shows (Most Unlikely) I'll be looking forward to it. I remember playing this on the xbox 360 though, Never got that character though, but I did make my characters op as hell, Rip that this brought so many flashbacks to when I played it, yet I'm glad ye didn't take a crap on it like others have done so.
It was the second english game I played. The first one was pokemon silver wayyyyy back when I had english in school for only a year. But enchanted arms was the first game I was able to play without any trouble. I still like the gameplay and while it was never an AAA title, it holds a special place in my heart.
I remember buying this at gamestop and only later finding out that it was a From game. Lol. By the way, the Queen of Ice is still one of my favorite designs and i ended up really liking Makoto, especially on why he acts like that in the game. I recently replayed it and i forgot how much of a banger his theme is. Galaxy Spear!!!
This game was a hidden gem of my childhood. Not the greatest JRPG of all time but it has a charm to it that hasn't been replicated since. It was a very linear story but that doesn't make it a bad game, it was still interesting to learn about the world and characters. The grid system allows the combat to have great depth and strategy, but it can be frustrating. It was a good type of frustrating for me because I always was trying to one shot all the enemies so I didn't lose any VP. Overall, the game was very good, although I understand the negative attitude toward it. The encounter rate can be overwhelming if you are a new player and don't know how to properly eliminate enemies, and this can drain your VP very fast. The game also doesn't do a very good job of explaining the level up system along with the SP usage, upgrading skills and support skills. New players can easily miss upgrading parameters and skills, specifically support skills, for a very long time and this can make the battles a lot harder than they should be. Traveling takes a VERY long time and is very slow. For players that aren't completionist, it can be very easy to walk past a hallway and miss a chest with a key or an Ether. The slow traveling speed combined with the frequent encounter rate can make the game very frustrating because players often don't have enough VP to backtrack and wander around. You either love or hate the characters. I personally loved the character interactions and thought the characters were pretty funny, although not really compelling. The english voice acting was bad, but a funny/goofy type of bad. The Japanese voice acting was actually very good. The animation was pretty good given the time of its creation, which it's release was in 2006, so given some time the development would've been in the early 2000's. Enchanted Arms is not a game for everybody, but it's still a great game. Nothing else quite has the same type of charm this game has.
I can’t see how people hate this game so much, sure it has it’s problems but the gameplay itself and the golem hunting was very enjoyable to me, I could totally see it having potential if it just had the time to grow
God I remember this game. It was a diamond in the rough. Sure the story was generic and the voice acting would have you in stitches but god damn it was fun and the world was interesting I just wish they fleshed it out more
I bought it a week before it got delisted (unknowingly lmao) and i do not regret it in the slighest. It's one of my favourite rpgs (i play a lot of rpgs), and honestly the iffy voice acting and jank add to the charm and experience for me. It's the most unintentionally camp game I've ever played.
Had this game when it first came out in 06 i was in what the 6th or 7th grade but man i have good memories of the game. Was a very good game and want to play it again
also fromsoftware made evergrace, steel battalion, eternal ring, shadow tower(spiritual sucessor from king's field) and the gundam unicorn published by bandai
I don't think it was, but my copy might've been a bit scratched up. I never got past the freezes I said last night, as it was every encounter and I would have to restart the console.
I really enjoyed playing Enchanted Arms at the launch of the 360. Was nice to have some sort of jrpg right from the get go. I love most of from softwares stuff. Really liked their Ever Grace and Ace Combat games. On a side note I remember the ps3 version being a pretty shoddy port of the 360 with worse graphics and some oddities.
I bought this game in 2007 from a blockbuster for 5$ cause everyone who bought it kept returning it. Totally fell in love with the game, and I still play it at least once a year to this day. Not sure what it is about the game that makes me love it so much, but it has real heart, and a lot of charm
Maybe it's because it arrived at a time when JRPGs were woeful, but I enjoyed this game. It was cheesy as fuck and felt like somebody had ripped off Final Fantasy and added voice overs from a 90s cartoon. It was by no means great, but unlike The Last Remnant and a couple of other JRPGs that came out around the same time, it at least had character.
I played this game, got stuck at the rock boss if I remember correctly? I even cheesed the casino and tried for hours but couldn't beat it. I literally had nightmares where I was stuck moving in the battles grid pattern and even had similar issues while awake. So I never finished it...
It's a very comfy game to me. Nothing amazing but the dogshit VA, monster collection and some fairly interesting gameplay ideas made it a fun experience for me
1:47 Well Enchanted Arms,Tales of Vesperia, Eternal Sonata,Star Ocean The Last Hope,The Last Remnant and Vandal Hearts Flame of Judgement were on 360 first. Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscoverery,Students of the Round,Monster Hunter Frontier Online,Tengai Makyou Zira,Ken No Machi No Ihoujin Shrio No Oukyuu,Meikyuu Cross Blood,Apocalypse Desire Next,Diario Rebirth Moon Legend, Super Robot Wars XO,Akatsuki No Amaneka To Aoi Kyojin and Magna Carta 2 are exclusives. Final Fantasy XI,Final Fantasy XIII Trilogy,Phantasy Star Universe,Neir,Record of Agarest War,Record of Agarest War Zero and Cross Edge were multi platform. The notion that the 360 was devoid of JRPGs is simply not true. The PS3 didn't take the crown from the 360 until 2011. The meme about the Switch pretending to act like all those Vita and Wii U games are new is the new 360 and PS3.
Growing up I loved everything in this game the dub was absolutely great for me it was funny and goofy lighthearted imo I enjoyed it watching this made me buy the game just to play again
the casino is a bonus not a take away if you really do want to grind SP like that it dosnt take much ingame time off how long i ttakes for latergame stuff tbh can just use the casino as a more mindless way to grind for max level shit
Remember when ma and dad got a ps3 at launch came with the first Motorstorm and this. Played till like half 1 the following morning school night and everything. Mega nostalgia watching this I feel a trip to the loft to get the old girl out of mothballs coming on.
This was my first jrpg game and i gotta admit i had fun save for the random encounters that kinda ruined the fun, it was one of my first games on ps3 as well. i shit myself when the game ended killing toya but then i found out there was a secret ending lol
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I've just come here to get to know if I'm going to like the game and when I made a decision that I want to give it a try, I spotted your comment xD You don't even know how I was pissed, but I'm not going to read it all. Maybe there is something which will surprise, I hope so. Though, I hope you had great time playing the game. I hope me either gonna have fun. Cheers!
i did not play much of it but it seem ok. i do like alot of from soft games such as frame gride, kings field and echo night. i did like the style of the game but it seem very slow. also the voice of that one guy was done by liam o'brian who is a great voice actor but yeah that shit was funny
I just beat this game tonight. Never heard of it before this year. What a goofy, fun experience! The ridiculous voice acting and weird writing really sold this offbeat title for me. This was such an accurate review to my experience with it! Nice to hear some praise as the game fared poorly back in the day
Any idea why the PS3 European region 2 version says Special edition on the back and the USA doesn't!!! Anyone know if there is any difference or added content in the European version?
So it's real! I remember was a very young teen I watched a video game channel called G4 and one of the shows, X-play talked about this. They bashed the game hard and I hate I forgot what they scored it as, I know it was low, but during the whole review just said bad jokes about the game and gave it a low score. I wanted to see it for myself by buying it myself, but my area didn't have the game so I never played it. Still I am glad I found the game after so long, and I have your video to thank for that man! edit: Turns out the x-play review is on youtube. And it's so bad! I never used this word before, but the whole x-play review was cringe. But they gave it 4 out of 5 first time around? And they reviewed it again, kept talking about Makoto's character, and that the game sucked with a low effort way with out explaining anything, and gave it a 2 out of 5. wth did I just see with my own eyes I swear.
Got any other awesome game recommendations similar to Enchanted Arms? For the Xbox 360 that is? I love final fantasy type games like this Enchanted arms.
Resonance of fate is a great game but the combat takes a while to get used to. But for a FF style RPG I would go for Blue Dragon, it was made by ex square Devs
Scott's Game Asylum does resonance of fate have the same kind of combat style as the Dirge of Cerberus game with Vincent Valentine in it? If so I dominated that game.
I still remember my best friend grabbing this game from a Blockbuster when we were in highschool. He pops it in and starts playing it. I'm doing homework. I suddenly stop when the phrase "devil Golems" is said; we both laugh and start playing the game together. Nuff said; this game is garbage but actually really fun, but ya gotta remember "PRESS A" to do any cool action in the open world.
The PS3 port for Enchanted Arms isnt that great. The 360 version is better. They took out certain Golems and downgraded whole areas and changed the colour tone of the game. It looks washed out and of a lower resolution. It's now backcompat on Xbox One consoles and Series X if you want to play it with a locked fps and HDR applied.

It's a damn good game for sure.
Tbh he probably wanted it for himself and tried his hardest not to sell the last copy.
Well if that was true he failed. He also steered me away from star ocean I believe. But I think that was a subscription issue. It's ok I walked away with the better game
@@sloth126 I got both Star ocean and this game, theyre both so good!

It was pretty good if you mute every time Yuki speaks
Let it be known. At one point in time it could be claimed that Enchanted Arms was the best RPG on the 360... as it was the first one for the console....
doesn't Blue Dragon predate it?
@@GiordanDiodato nope
Crazy to think that at one point this was the best looking JRPG ever made.
Still is the best one
Still love it though
This game, although being a bit rough around the edges, has a very special place in my heart and soul. Thanks for this review! So many good memories.
Thank you.
Me too my son who was like 10 years old and I played this game so many years ago .. looking back it triggers so many memories . We are Final Fantasy fans and this game was just the right medicine in between FF titles 🤓
Well said this was one of the only games my mom and i played side by side, missing her dearly. ❤

Relatable and agreed brotha
First jrpg? How old are you?
yo I literally thought people hated this game. Feels good to see these comments.
@@marcosladarense it was also my first J-RPG and I'm 25 now :v
But I did play Final Fantasy and Pokemon games afterwards.
There is an art to bad voice acting. This is dynasty warriors 3 level of greatness. Needed this nostalgia trip.
It’s backwards compatible on Xbox One starting today, I have all achievements for this game lol
Oh cool. Well, there is no excuse not to play it now! Pinned.
I can die happy once more
thank you

Thank you for watching. It's a pleasure to bring the nostalgia to so many people!
I feel you, alternatively you can play in on the ps3 emulator if your pc is beefy enough!
the ps3 version is actually harder and have more golems!

yeah i would love to see more games in the series.
I hope they do a remastered version of this. I would play it nonstop
i search this game every year sometimes twice preying for the sequal announcement
@@brooksie9999999999 What do you like about the game personally in your opinion?
@@TheKpa11 tbh i could never put my finger on it
atsuma was such a funny character that he just uplifted everyone elses performance
the entire golem world they build i would LOVE to know more about anything prequal sequal anything idgaf
diffrent cast same world idc i want more
the gameplay was actually fun asf
all i would want would be MORE MORE MORE more golems more characters to choose from make it bigger
i have pre much no complaints about the game at all other then the random dificulty spikes you will never see coming xD

Makoto is voiced by Liam o Brien, yes the same guy who voices Caius Ballad lol. Now i want to hear Caius in Makoto Voice :D
The perfect remaster
1. Of course better character models and better environment grpahics with new rails or bricks or anything
2. Make it an even 200 golems to collect
3. And faster character movement
Great game the way it is but I'd buy the remaster
Do you honestly think from software would even consider that? Don't get me wrong i'd wet my pants if they did but it's never gonna happen. :(
really want them to remaster this or make a sequel to it because the mechanics and the core concept of the game was so good. the golems were also such an amazing concept
One of the most interesting details is the 999 level cap but you don't really need it. I've never gotten 999 level but it's a nice thought for a detail you dont need really. One of my favorites
The only location I can think of that the 999 would be handy is the shrine which is post game material. That's about it imo. Have fun if you do

I never played multi. :(

I got it along with superman returns and nba2k7. Good times.
"Raigar...Raigar....Raigar" - Atsuma
Why does it sound like the cast from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" did the voice acting
don't know why but i have love/hate thing for this game
Same here

God I remember this game. It was a diamond in the rough. Sure the story was generic and the voice acting would have you in stitches but god damn it was fun and the world was interesting I just wish they fleshed it out more
Along with the extra characters the 360 edition also comes with a graphic novel
Oh cool, I did not know that. I guess I'll have to review the Xbox 360 version one day. Thanks!
I mean most of the time charcsters like that are used for comedic relief, like the dude in DQ IX S deneftine edition, I forget his name though
Thanks for the insightful information.

Great review, I have a vague recollection of playing this on the 360
I kept confusing this game with resonance of fate lol.
I need to try that one out soon.
Most memorable characters if you played it to the end and has very easily become one of my favorite games ever
You can also unlock Raikoh Minamoto from Otogi in this game, and some Armored Cores are also available..
This is a guilty pleasure of mine. "Quirks and all, Worts and all."
hell yeah, its a banger
also fromsoftware made evergrace, steel battalion, eternal ring, shadow tower(spiritual sucessor from king's field) and the gundam unicorn published by bandai
Great video! Has inspired me to buy the game and try it out
And what kind of price do you think it's worth these days?
eBay is your friend
I don't think it was, but my copy might've been a bit scratched up. I never got past the freezes I said last night, as it was every encounter and I would have to restart the console.

It looks pretty good I seen it at the retro store 😊 I want it :) I love nice arms lol 😂😅😊

this is one of the only games i took back to the shop......
Yeah I remember the dialogue being quite unique too😂
i all ways loved this game as a kid. wish it was on steam tbh god a remaster or remake would be amazing but. id be happy with just a pc release
Really enjoy your no nonsense reviews.
Thank you!
The best character by far is Makoto
absolutely. Its weird cause im not down for "queens" whether its male or female but damn Makoto before and after is still the best.
Picked this up on ps3 i think. So much fun 😊
I played this game, got stuck at the rock boss if I remember correctly? I even cheesed the casino and tried for hours but couldn't beat it. I literally had nightmares where I was stuck moving in the battles grid pattern and even had similar issues while awake. So I never finished it...
Makoto is SPICY
It's a very comfy game to me. Nothing amazing but the dogshit VA, monster collection and some fairly interesting gameplay ideas made it a fun experience for me
I enjoyed the combat. It hit really good halfway through the game
Nice review. Just heard of this game through GameFAQs.
Give it a go and enjoy!
Will do ;).
1:47 Well Enchanted Arms,Tales of Vesperia, Eternal Sonata,Star Ocean The Last Hope,The Last Remnant and Vandal Hearts Flame of Judgement were on 360 first. Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscoverery,Students of the Round,Monster Hunter Frontier Online,Tengai Makyou Zira,Ken No Machi No Ihoujin Shrio No Oukyuu,Meikyuu Cross Blood,Apocalypse Desire Next,Diario Rebirth Moon Legend, Super Robot Wars XO,Akatsuki No Amaneka To Aoi Kyojin and Magna Carta 2 are exclusives. Final Fantasy XI,Final Fantasy XIII Trilogy,Phantasy Star Universe,Neir,Record of Agarest War,Record of Agarest War Zero and Cross Edge were multi platform.
The notion that the 360 was devoid of JRPGs is simply not true. The PS3 didn't take the crown from the 360 until 2011.
The meme about the Switch pretending to act like all those Vita and Wii U games are new is the new 360 and PS3.
Growing up I loved everything in this game the dub was absolutely great for me it was funny and goofy lighthearted imo I enjoyed it watching this made me buy the game just to play again
I had no idea they made Enchanted Arms :D This game may have a lot of weird shit but its certainly not boring xD
This is an underrated gem
the casino is a bonus not a take away if you really do want to grind SP like that it dosnt take much ingame time off how long i ttakes for latergame stuff tbh
can just use the casino as a more mindless way to grind for max level shit
Remember when ma and dad got a ps3 at launch came with the first Motorstorm and this. Played till like half 1 the following morning school night and everything. Mega nostalgia watching this I feel a trip to the loft to get the old girl out of mothballs coming on.
both you and i may have high tolerances to turds as i actually like some things people consider crap
While i wouldn't call Enchanted Arms a bad game. I do like playing these B-grade games as you never know what you let yourself into.
Me, a Dark Souls veteran looking at this:
Huh, no wonder I liked this game so much.
It definitely has that From Soft quirkiness to it
you can also get raiko from the otogi series by fromsoft as a golem in this game too :)
Whaaaat! Holy shit that is so cool!
This was my first jrpg game and i gotta admit i had fun save for the random encounters that kinda ruined the fun, it was one of my first games on ps3 as well. i shit myself when the game ended killing toya but then i found out there was a secret ending lol
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I've just come here to get to know if I'm going to like the game and when I made a decision that I want to give it a try, I spotted your comment xD
You don't even know how I was pissed, but I'm not going to read it all. Maybe there is something which will surprise, I hope so.
Though, I hope you had great time playing the game. I hope me either gonna have fun.
Cheers!
i did not play much of it but it seem ok. i do like alot of from soft games such as frame gride, kings field and echo night. i did like the style of the game but it seem very slow. also the voice of that one guy was done by liam o'brian who is a great voice actor but yeah that shit was funny
Well i kept getting this game confused with Resonance of Fate for years lol. It`s worth checking out.
Thank you for enduring this so I don't have to...
Great review Scott.
Thank you
Loved this game
only the pinkest of pickles
I just beat this game tonight. Never heard of it before this year. What a goofy, fun experience! The ridiculous voice acting and weird writing really sold this offbeat title for me. This was such an accurate review to my experience with it! Nice to hear some praise as the game fared poorly back in the day
Glad you enjoyed it!
I swear Troy Baker voices a character in this game?
Enchanted arms in a way was my final Fantasy before final fantasy 😭
I remember my uncle calling this game enchanted butt
And now I will refer to it the same way lol
Absolutely epic 🤣😂
Yep, they are weird. I played a chunk of this game, couldn't get into it, but yes it's odd. LOL
Yeah looking at other reviews I can see people love it or hate it. It was refreshing to play something wacky but there are better games.
Any idea why the PS3 European region 2 version says Special edition on the back and the USA doesn't!!! Anyone know if there is any difference or added content in the European version?
El Google serchio
I am playing and this one with Record of Agarest are becoming my faves JRPGs, I am trying FFantasy 12 pt 2 but I am not so motivated with it.
I never got on with Agerest.
it has nothing of convencional, it is awesome, and the voice acting, was very good to me.
So it's real! I remember was a very young teen I watched a video game channel called G4 and one of the shows, X-play talked about this. They bashed the game hard and I hate I forgot what they scored it as, I know it was low, but during the whole review just said bad jokes about the game and gave it a low score. I wanted to see it for myself by buying it myself, but my area didn't have the game so I never played it. Still I am glad I found the game after so long, and I have your video to thank for that man!
edit: Turns out the x-play review is on youtube. And it's so bad! I never used this word before, but the whole x-play review was cringe. But they gave it 4 out of 5 first time around? And they reviewed it again, kept talking about Makoto's character, and that the game sucked with a low effort way with out explaining anything, and gave it a 2 out of 5. wth did I just see with my own eyes I swear.
"G4 is bad" gotcha
I loved Enchanted Arms, but the game kept freezing in the sun god japanese temple area.
Got any other awesome game recommendations similar to Enchanted Arms? For the Xbox 360 that is? I love final fantasy type games like this Enchanted arms.
Resonance of fate is a great game but the combat takes a while to get used to.
But for a FF style RPG I would go for Blue Dragon, it was made by ex square Devs
Scott's Game Asylum thanks I'll check into them.
@@irunamaestro1364 I have made a review for RoF if you want to check it out.
Scott's Game Asylum does resonance of fate have the same kind of combat style as the Dirge of Cerberus game with Vincent Valentine in it? If so I dominated that game.
@@irunamaestro1364 not really, it's ATB just like final fantasy but with more freedom of movement
I still remember my best friend grabbing this game from a Blockbuster when we were in highschool. He pops it in and starts playing it. I'm doing homework. I suddenly stop when the phrase "devil Golems" is said; we both laugh and start playing the game together. Nuff said; this game is garbage but actually really fun, but ya gotta remember "PRESS A" to do any cool action in the open world.
FYI we're still best friends and we still make jokes about this game
This game was a grind fest and I loved it .
I made it all the way to the final battle and gave up because I refused to grind on mobs for hours to level up enough to win it 😂 so it’s like 99.5%
Interesting game, good video, great job!
Thank you
What did you like better this or resonant of fate?
Resonance
Naruto
Sasuke
Naruto
Sasuke
Toyaaaaaa
The PS3 port for Enchanted Arms isnt that great. The 360 version is better. They took out certain Golems and downgraded whole areas and changed the colour tone of the game. It looks washed out and of a lower resolution. It's now backcompat on Xbox One consoles and Series X if you want to play it with a locked fps and HDR applied.
Did u unlock omega?
I played this game about a year and a half ago so my memory is fuzzy. I think so.
I love this game so much 😍
I love this comment!
Devil golems are just elden ring demigods?
What is it with the Japanese and high school? Lol. Great review!
Thank you senpai lol
Select Frontier thanks I had no idea Haha.
