Who here has played this game or bought it?


Is it worth the money to buy it?

Because I heard its a good turn based RPG, but Im not really into renting RPG's, because you can never beat them in the alotted rental time.

So i guess, whoever has played it tell me if its worth it, and please try compare different elements of the game to differnet RPG's and things.

Also use this thread to talk about the game in general terms.

Well the game finally came in, accompanied with a mini-poster (Midway is so nice). Been playing it for a few hours now, and I like it. Pretty cool, quite unique, it's fun.

Ok, compared to other rpgs, it's different, like it's set in the real world, at the start of the first world war, with familiar peoples and places, etc. It's turn based combat, you use this judgement ring thing, like you time your attacks which can lead to more consecutive attacks and more powerful attacks, etc. Areas are fully polygonal as opposed to the first game which had 2d rendered backdrops, some pretty nice looking scenary, character models are good and all that. voice acting is abundant, and its good. story seems pretty cool so far, you don't need to play the first game to understand everything, theres maybe 1 or 2 things that you might wanna check out the first game's storyline for connections to this one.

yeah it's pretty cool so far. can't really judge if it's worth the money, cause I didn't buy it, although I probably would end up buying it if I didnt get it for free.
