  • The game is not overly hard and I love Crais. He's not your run in the mill JRPG hero and he has the best American JRPG voice acting I've ever seen or heard - I actually enjoyed listening to him talk, as the infliction in his voice seemed quite believable. Con: it's not the grinding or the battles that will make you put this game down - albeit there is a lot of random battles - it's the GODDAMN LOAD TIME!

  • Comment removed

  • Fun, but not really worth a full $35. I thought it was going to be amazing with that price considering kingdom hearts BBS is only $20 now. It'd be worth it, if it was maybe half that price.

  • @MrAlk512 Whoa, Why would you buy the digital copy thats more than Double the price of a New Copy of it right now? xD

  • i hate it when the main character is the only male in the game. why is the only dude the leader? If the game is about girls, the main character should be a girl jeez.

  • man... everytime i wanna watch a review i just pray that you've made it. you're the best reviwer ive seen in years! love the jokes, and you really review all the aspects im questioning about the game! i just wished you would review more games :P

    ps: even your voice is awsome haha

    wish you the best! keep up the awesome work!

  • the giant rootbeer is in the next patch/dlc i guess :D

  • boobies?

  • Is the blue boy the voice actor that did Ichigo?

  • @lanceknightmare Yup. I also believe he did Adachi for P4 :D

  • @lanceknightmare he also sounds like sasori

  • @thebyrdman16 It's Jhonny Yong Bosch, he does the voices of Vash, Nero, Sasori, Ichigo and others.

  • This is a good game but the random encouters are just too much. It is a pity, because technically and the whole history, comments, etc. are really interesting.

  • 3:03- What the crap? Laura Bailey as little girls?!!! >: (

  • @ElricSowrd O.o whats so surprising about that? isnt she also Platinum the Trinity? and Rasbyrl from Disgaea 3. >.> they're both rather. little. and. female.

  • @Xexal95 It just feels... degrading that way especially for a Fan of Laura Bailey.

  • I hate this game. Its not just one thing that causes me to hate this game with all of my gaming fiber. Maybe it was the three course meal animals, maybe its the mazes or maybe its the 'i hate kids' lines that the Main character says over and over and over again.

  • Giant sheep are scary you know, they could lay down on you and smother you with their fleece.

  • Well did he start as a kid?

  • Hay mark have you played mana khemia for psp its nice try it!

  • GIANT CHICKENS 

  • "Watch out! Giant Sheep!"

    "I'm pretty amazing, ya know?"

    "Didn't you hear what I said? Watch out for the giant sheep!"

  • I decided to get the Psp. I have not regretted my decision. But that does not mean I'm a sony fanboy. Infact I have a gameboy advance, and a gamecube.

  • @darksword101 dont worry man. i mean all i got is a slim and fat PS1, Slim and fat PS2, a slim PS3, Two PSP´S, Bout to get PSV, and an XBOX that my father got from a friend which is all dusty and old and dont even play at all plus only have 3 suckish games. Yup..........

  • @blackcry22 Are you being sarcastic with me? It sure seems like it...

  • @darksword101 sarcastic? naaah im telling you that the fanboy is me and only having ONE sony console doesnt mean your a fanboy xD

  • OH....!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH.! So cute characters ... nice places ... Exciting stories ... I love the story so much .. some of the scenes here makes me cry .. especially on the Ishtall Ruins .. This game might be easy but it's totally worth it ..

  • Crais sounds like Lelouch.

  • This game is a little boring.

  • you shitting me psp has faar more rpgs than ds plus ds blows me

  • @millstan594

    Umm...no. Hey, if the PSP is your system of choice more power to you but Mark is totally correct: the DS does have tons more RPGs than the PSP. And I'm not fanboying b/c I have and thoroughly enjoy both the DS and PSP. As always, thanks Mark and CGR for the incredible and always funny review!

  • @EB1089 tahts only because nintedo cares faaaaar less about the quality of their games and ust throw them on helves.As where on psp i have 20 rpgs all great quality.i have 25 rpgs on ds and only 3 of tehm r good

  • @millstan594

    Yeah...whatever. Ignoring the fact that I can barely understand what you just wrote w/your bad grammar/typing, you're going off on a tangent. We're not talking about your opinion on which system has better RPGs or not. What Mark and I are saying is that the DS NUMERICALLY has more RPGs than PSP. That's it. And I'm 86'ing this b/c I don't do Internet bouts over "which system rawks hardest" b/c they all in their own way.

  • @EB1089 okay that i will agree on but quality ois better than quantity

  • it should be called mimana garbage chronicles .

  • I finally bought a psp a week ago so these reviews sure do help on gaining knowledge on such titles.

  • @Vayu don't be such a weeaboo.

  • The easy way to the defeat the giant lobster its to attack his hit point for massive damage. :P

  • That ingame music against those giant sheep sounds like something from .hack//SIGN

  • Great review and I enjoy all your vids. I did want to mention that you said that the PSP does not get many games like this, and I would kind of disagree. When they came out, I would say there were around 40 JRPG's on the system. Granted the DS does have more, but seeing as it's the only other current system that even has a good library of RPG's means it is pretty stocked for the most part. I would say there is around 50 now available on the PSP.

  • hehe... if you dont want to battle at dungeons, just hold O-Button ^^

    Thats great for exploring the dungeon without annoying encounters. That might be a bug, I call that "feature"

    Mhh that game really had a weird, unexpected end...

  • omg it looks awesome i might get it for my birthday :D

  • and it takes a while to walk anywhere cause ur constantly fighting giant lobsters and things... MADE MY DAY XD

  • Is it just my game, or are some of the walls in this game not solid (I can walk through them)? specifically in the ruins dungeon.

  • What I love about this game is almost every time they talk there's always voice overs. What I don't like is that, there's too little elements for a normal rpg nowadays.

  • The animation on the cutscenes seems similar to what has been seen in Saber Marionette J. Did the animation studio responsable work in this game?

  • the main character is voiced by johnny bosh, mainly know as vash in trigun, ichigo from bleach, and le douche from code geass,among shitloads ofother various characters etc, if you haven't heard his voice before you dont know anime or JRPGs much :p

  • @VayuPurana i think of him as Nero from DMC4

  • @VayuPurana he was Guy in Tales of the abyss so i have heard Johnny´s voice quite a lot in games and so on, but he really does a good job.

  • Naked... TORNANOD!

    I dont say "It was a Mistake" I would say "What for a Wonderful Body.." :D

  • Close your eyes. Enhance your ears.

    The protagonist's voice actor is without doubt the same person who voiced Adachi from P4.

  • ......Damn you guy.......i JUST got lunar star and i saw this ....i bought this too lol ur reviews r too good

  • Great Review man,.i just dont know why when i see your reviews i end up buying the game...

  • can anyone who as completed the game or its close to its end tell me how many hours long this is?

  • dude this is AWESOME it's really hard to find a good real-time battling game for psp

  • Does it have the original japanese voice dialog as an option or is it just the english one?

    MVHH

  • This..game..needs..maps..

  • @Morrnsta indeed

  • awe i was hoping for turn based battles =[

  • LADY UR EYEBALLS ARE BIGGER THAN YOUR FEET!

  • the awkward moment when your eyeballs are bigger than your feet.

  • Not only do I now want this game....I'm starving.

  • Is it possible to get this game with japanese voice acting and english subtitles?

  • WATCH OUT!! There is nothing more dangerous than a "QUIVERING JELLO MOLD" -lmao!!!

  • Did I hear Ichigo Kurosaki say "Watch out guys!" around 2:00?

  • @solitarylonewolf That's b/c Ichigo's voice actor, Johnny Yong Bosch, is the voice behind Crais. Akysys never credited him in the credits tho. Shame.

  • @MrBlackUsagi Really? The black Power Ranger is Ichigo? I never knew that. I knew the guy was famous, whoever he is, but I didn't know it was him.

  • you are the best game reviewer

    fuck IGN!

  • @aramco123 agreed

  • @aramco123 totally! he's amazing!

  • Mimanas fun its just short and quick in levels. Battle play is cool. Like the dude said its quick to pass the time.

  • GIANT CHICKENS!!

    I wouldn't be able to stab them due to their impossible cuteness.

  • Mimana Iyar Chronicle got burned down by IGN. They rated it a 4/10. I don't agree with reviewers all the time, but I wouldn't rate this game more than a 6/10. This game has no 'positive' part where it stands out. Everything in the game fails in some sort. They either rushed with this game, or they didn't care much. Thinking that it will be OK, is wrong. Aksys should go to Atlus and learn how to make an RPG.

  • @Jiyaijo rating numbers mean squat really. you either wanna keep playing it, or you dont. thats why i like mark, he says if he likes it or not and doesnt put some obnoctious number at the end of it as if it means that much. it seems he bases his reviews on what he feels...not the games popularity or what hes told to say...but im getting off topic >_>

    however, im not really a japanes rpg fan, theres some that look interesting though but i dunno...i prefere western rpgs really

  • @Amaranthus616 Never liked Japanese RPG's either, until Final Fantasy grabbed my attention with FFVII, IX and X. That got me interested in many more Jap Rpgs. I guess they're al right. They mostly have unique gameplay and great storylines. Though, I'd prefer a shooter like MGS over these RPG's anyday.

  • Crais is played by ichigo from bleach. AWSUM

  • hey is that the voice of ichigo from bleach?

  • I almost expected a giant bottle of root beer to actually appear after you said that. Well, (fortunately?) it did not.

  • ive been playing it now...and the reason why it makes me continue the game is because its a fully voiced game when it comes to cutscenes and events.. because for me an rpg games should have a voice actors to make the games and the story more lively..the emotions they give to the script are good...even its a traditional japanese rpg you wont get bored because of the voice actors..

  • Can't believe you didnt mention the giant lobster at the end, when talking about hungry designers.

  • This reminds me of StarOcean way to similar same story line one knocked off the other.

  • where's my root beer monster ?!

  • the japanese are very sexually ambiguious

  • that guy have the voice of the god emperor lelouch

  • and since its asian..

    her eyeballs are also bigger than her boobs >.<

  • Hey it has the voice of bumblebee not the 80's one no can you figure out which one.

  • @NexusARC is it the one from war for cybertron

  • @tapion567 20 points for you!

  • Master key lol it must be a keyblade

  • I think Mark should try Risen since he kinda liked Divinity II.

  • this game is...not really balanced out...sometimes, when u equip with the highest defense, u still get attacked like normal...and its freaking annoying when u cant get to somewhere and frequently encounter random monsters even if u use repel called Spirit Drops, u still get same amount of frequent encounter...

  • DAMN... it sux that this game never got released in EU :'(

    (...or did it? if i am confusing this with another game then sorry)

  • I'm surprised you didn't mention Mel. I swear, that lady is at least 7 different kinds of insane, and none of them are good!

  • At least someone gave this game a good review.

  • WOW! Mark is reviewing RPG game!

  • Lol You saw me naked!

  • I feel like a dumbass I need a LP just to get past the beginning...

  • do u have to get this through ps network or is there a umd version?

  • @0BornofDesire0

    they have it on umd, nice thing is they have a limited edition version out right now with a bunch of extras which is pretty cool

  • this game is one of the best rpg's I've played on the PSP. I'd actually have the courage to place it right behind Crisis Core: FF7

  • hahaha.. LOL.. "Lady, you're eyeballs are bigger than your feet">. damn, you're the best man!

  • Listen to 3:02-3:07 no offense people but dosen't Sophie sound like I don't know ZOE DRAKE (from Dinosaur King)?

    (I'm just asking)

  • Wow this game looks intresting.

  • Hm, looks like this game has pretty random enemies. That looks like the most promising part of the game.

  • Hehe Doesnt Crais sounds like Ichigo from bleach ;D ?

    i think im almost done witht the game... all i need is that Holy Stone.

    but im lost cuz theres a energy wall thats blockn my path T__T

  • @julian671 ya thats johnny young boush it seems likes hes in everything

  • does this game have japanese audio with japanese subs?

  • Cockasusgadore?.. >__>

  • Damn it classic game room guy... you are making me broke!!!! Everytime I see a game that I don't know much about and you have a review on it, your damn reviews make me want to buy them. The fact that you actually review a game instead of nitpick is great and you inject humor into the reviews. I hope you are getting a paycheck from the game companies. Thanks for the reviews.

  • @Nodieus27 That is how I ended up buying this game. However, I bet you won't buy Action 52 if they review it. This guy is talented, however, no amount of talent can make Action 52 sound good.

  • @Nodieus27 LOL there is new process called download you should try it

  • Giant Lobsters awsome. This gameplay looks good but the anime is an eyesore for sure

  • The voice acting in this seems surprisingly GOOD... That's not common in anime-style RPGs...

  • This sounds like a cool-ass game! +_+\m/

  • hey it' ichigos voice

  • Lol wow, Johnny is in this game too, what a shocker.

    It looks fun so I might pick it up.

  • dude you could've warned me how short this game is. sure it's over 10 hours but except for the first boss I took everything in the game out easy, leveled up decently later but really fast at the start, you don't even get the other girls on your team until your about halfway through the game in general.

    and the only replay value in this is to see the other cut scenes with girls you didn't bother with before yet don't really go further than friendship to not disturb the main plot. it's a rent.

  • This game looks interesting, combat system reminds me of the Tales series. I might give it a try; now that Breath of Fire is dead and Final Fantasy has gone too Sci Fi for my tastes, it's been a while since I've played an RPG game.

    Nice review.

  • What's up with that pre-batlle splitting screen? It takes like 10 seconds!

  • @peter80000 Half of that >.>

  • How many games do you own??

  • @Tylerpoeactionhero Have wondered that myself, he seems far too into games to rent.

  • Why does this look like a cheap knock off of the Tales series?

  • @S3iG4kU because the team behind tales of destiny 2 made this game.

  • @themangafan0990

    I took a look at the company who created this and thought it was a clear rip off. Thank you for correcting me. Looks like its not a rip off after all, but rather a spiritual successor.

    Oh and for anyone who hasn't noticed.....Johnny Yong Bosch..yet again.

  • @S3iG4kU yep JYB is gettin paid...again LOL

  • We love JRPG's don't we? Disgaea, Blaz Blue, Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman!, Star Ocean (Ten Wise Men? WTF? It's a stupid name for the group of antagonists), Some Final Fantasy, Tales of "Something" etc.

    I wish they just put in subtitles, throw away the "shitty" english dub voices, save money on translation, and of course cheapen the price we buy these anime style JRPG's.

    And of course, more boobies, action (Oh yeah!) and awkward moments (Yayuh!).

  • looks dec

  • remineds me of tales of symphonia which is a game every one who reads this should play.

  • LOL giant chickens!! They should catch it and make snack wraps out of it!!

  • @Knguyen316 Would you like a coke with that?

  • wow that voice acting isent very good is it

  • looks good i might pick it up, still 2 preoccupied with lunar silver star harmony tho!

  • youtube what the fuck i cant get to my older videos

  • ahhh psp a game console for man

  • I need more rpgs for my ps3 im starved thankfully i preordered MH3 for my wii...still demon's souls is wearing on me... and Mass effect 2 IS NOT an rpg that is a fucking 3rd person shooter and we all know it. They try to say its an rpg but ive played it it doesn't feel like an rpg at all.

    This right here is an rpg. I need more games like this for my ps3. Any suggestions?

    Is star ocean 4 worth it?

  • @Dramoir DIsegea 3 Absence of justice is a good rpg

  • @Dramoir mass effect is kind of an rpg in the same way that stalker is, and yes it is worth it. btw have you tried disgaea? that might be worth looking into.

  • @dotsonjb14 Disgegea hmmm ok ill look into it...is that cross edge worth it?

  • @Dramoir Makai Senki Disgaea FTW!!! Note, it has mild adult themes and use of mild sex jokes.

  • @Dramoir Star Ocean 4 is excellent

  • Why are they fighting crystals?

  • Cheesy game...but I'll pick it up. I love myself a good JRPG.

  • @WayofScience that's racist man

  • @DeathAdder83

    Racist? Against a fracking video game? You're an idiot.

  • @DeathAdder83

    and how the hell is that even racist? You really are a fracking moron. Go to hell.

  • @WayofScience oh stfu would you??its a review, you dont have to like it

  • @redemerald0wns And the morons keep coming out of the woodwork..who said I didn't like the review? Who said I don't find the game interesting? I even stated I was going to pick it up. So WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?!?!

  • @WayofScience wow that upset you so much that you responded twice.....ooookay take it east big guy, I was just kidding since you said JRPG, labeling it a Japanese Role Playing Game instead of simply a regular ole RPG. Calm down man.

  • thank you for reminding me once again why I don't buy low budget Japanese made video games. Or watch English dubbed anime for that matter. That voice acting seriously pisses me off. Couldn't they just sub the whole thing? that would be great.

  • Keep going Classic game room! I love this show!

  • Man, everyone hates the voice acting... >_>

  • @Ebb1993isimmortal Seriously, what is wrong with the voice acting?! Actors and actresses like Johnny Yong Bosch and Wendee Lee are featured in this game, NO ONE deserves to be dissing the voice acting!

  • ' I Am Pretty Amazing You Know '

  • That girl's singing creeps me out!

  • @MoltenPlastic Does she really?

  • @TheRaker55 It's uncanny!

  • @MoltenPlastic What's that suppose to mean?

  • @MoltenPlastic let me rephrase: I have no idea why nor how, but her singing is the creepiest thing I've ever heard!

  • the mc of this game sounds like adachi from persona4 :O !!!!!!

  • Wow, great voice acting. OMG...O.o

  • Doww, I think I would of really liked this game, but the combat system looks tedious and boring.

    Should of just made it turn based.

  • im 20 hours into it, its long.... looooooonngg..... bout 95% of the time your hittin one button, and casting magic is pratically useless since it takes like 7 seconds to get the cast off and if your hit in the process, the spell is canceled.

    but the story is compelling, if it wasnt for that i would have put it down a long time ago. the story drives the game pretty well.

  • @TotalRiki Yeah, but if the game is only good for the story...wouldn't you just be better off watching an Anime?

  • @MoltenPlastic ya, i guess you would have a point, but if you got lots of time to burn far away from yer game console, this will keep you occupied.

  • The fighting scenes look like they are from a beat-em-up. Is that how it is or am I missing something?

    Anyway, looks cool.

  • is dat sum johnny yong bosch.

    he is in fucking everything.

  • wtf the main character has ichigo's Voice actor lol

  • @deathtsunami omg thank i couldnt rem where i heard his voice before. <@:)

  • @beanclr lol i had to think of it for a second
