It first came out in 2007 :). Most japanese devs doesnt care much about graphics, thats why so many PSP games get developed.

As a person that loves JRPGs, and works on this field, I have two things to say about this title:

It's a horrible game. Stay away.

+1 unless you like repetitive tedious combat with little to no story interwoven

+1 It's hard to recommend this even to fans of jrpgs/tactical jrpg like FFT/TacticsOgre/etc. - game is VERY slow paced, battle system seems complex but also kind of random at the same time, there's lot of trial and error involved in the evolution of your characters - you have to randomly try out every combination of skills between characters to get the special combination attacks, there is no logic behind them. Also, I usually don't care about graphics in this type of games but the backgrounds in this one are just HORRIBLE. Unless you are willing to put in looong hours needed to get this game going and you don't mind grinding to discover randomly associated combination special attacks - don't bother, it's better to emulate NDS or PS2 on your PC and play something way better.

Would be less bitchy if it was a complete pack like every old game coming to pc (the most recent one is Castlevania)... Being old game is not bad but selling old DLC is.

I believe most of the paid DLC is just adding overpowered items at the start of the game anyways. Essentially they're only there if you want to breeze through the game.

FF7 gave that option included in the game price. So the objections do make sense, as it would have been better to just bundle them all into the game.

cant tell if trying to funny/racist.

Metal Gear Solid isnt like this. nor are a lot of other "Japanese" games and quite frankly im kind of disappointed you wouldnt just say anime games. BUT EVEN WITH ANIME GAMES, theres a lot that dont resort to big booty/boobies, lesbian girls touching/making out, sexual faces even though nothing might be seen or taking place, and crotch shots. I mean this is just sad to see what appeals to people and it sort of alienates people who dont want all this erotic business in their games. Maybe more people could have enjoyed it if there was good gameplay and not this discouraging cover. I've not seen the gameplay but i can only imagine the characters are very similar if not the ones on the front cover. Oh well, this is why these kind of games arent for me i suppose and as long as someone likes them, they'll keep making them so someones happy, thats fine i guess.

MGS is a terrible counter-example. I swear Kojima literally manages the series with his hands in his pants the whole time.

really now? i feel its a way more mature approach than this with only the occasional boobs or sexy poster which of course you arent really FORCED to look at ever. Even so, I wasnt saying just MGS, im saying ANY japanese game in general is not automatically like this, this is targeted towards a specific market and its sad because it pushes away people who just want to play a game and not have all this sexual content thrown at them.

11 years ago

According to the trailer there is a lot of this sexual content in the game itself. Scantily clad girls, revealing postures, oversized breasts, it seems Japan just can't create anything without it.

Demon's Souls.

Miyazaki (Dark Souls director) even said he didn't want to include Gwuinavere's design in Dark Souls, but he didn't want to disappoint his lead artist who was pretty gung ho about it.

Also Kazumo Kaneko's human character designs are often pretty classy in Shin Megami Tensei.

And lastly, take a look at 99% of American comic books sometime before implying that an overabundance of sexualized characters is a uniquely Japanese media phenomenon.

They're marketing it as a hybrid rpg/dating sim.

These are the type of promotional items that come with dating sims so I don't see any issue with that.

oh...so congratz to people who love JRPG and old school turn based RPG. It came into my eyes today, but after a little search, I moved on. This is not my type. I want a hack & slash RPG like diablo 3 or torchligh series but I don't like that characters in those games are cute and cartoonish. I want a realistic hack & slash game with horrifying atmosphere like diablo 2 and cancelled diablo 3(a project made by Blizzard North), also, some epic cinematics.

I googled it a bit, and I just can't find a review for it, unless they renamed this game. If that's the case, the score suggests it's a decent game.

In any case, I can maybe even make something extra if I sell this pre-purchase copy after the game is out. That of course if I decide it's not a game for me. :)

company of heroes is a 7 year old game and it only has 2 expansion packs

hell even postal 2 why surely has a lower budget and was made in 1998 also only has 2 expansion packs

Final Fantasy 7 seems to have done okay coming out at $12 on Steam and it not having any DLC :p

Then again, for some reason you're paying the same # as I would here in the USA, it's $15.99 here in the USA, you're paying like $6 more, so I get your point.
