I am playing this game right now and I'm loving every minute of it. 8.3 just doesn't do it justice. It deserves at least a 9. It has original, addictive game play, an entertaining story, lots of items, an awesome soundtrack, and memorable, interesting characters to say the least. It also perfectly and effectively uses both the dual screen and stylus without feeling forced or gimmicky.
This was one of the best games I played on DS, the music & graphics were awesome and stylish, the battle system is unique and perfect, the story is engrossing and addidctive, and did I mention the music is awesome? Just needs more file saves, other than that 9.5 in my opinion
Yeah I do wish it had 2 save files though. I'd like to play it all again without deleting my accomplishments. But oh well. It's worth obtaining all those things again.
Well, both those are great RPGs, but since you just say "on the ds" and not "original to the ds", I have to say Chrono Trigger and TWEWY are tied for my top spot, ahead of Devil Survivor.
I also really enjoyed quite a few other DS RPGs or hybrid RPGs. There are alot of ties on my list. :)
For me, this and Devil Survivor are the best RPGs for the DS. I find it hard not to lose patience with the more traditional RPGs after playing them. Next up....Strange Journey.
this game opened a bigger world for me it was awesome and to much fun, during the summer 2 years ago i never stoped playing this i wanted to beat the game and get pi-faces clothes secret clothes and master all pins and turns out to this day all my pins are mastered and i have all secret clothes and 1700 bravery points
Great game, although i was sometimes board by fighting the same enemy in the same screen (part of shibuya) for the 100 time. But also a great review, as usual from GT ;)
ive played through this game so meny times and its still fun =D i love it. hands down one of the best ds games EVER (no if they made a #2 to this game but with online play or co-op mode then it would be 100% perfect but as of now i give it a 99.9)
hmmmmm the only part that i hate about this game is the so so so so long dialogues and you have to watch it and wait and wait and wait but still its a very nice and easy game
This game is awesome. The visuals are the best of the DS's 2-D games. The music is awesome and very catchy. The cobat system is great. There's only one problem. WHY DID THEY MAKE THE STUPID PIN MINI GAME??? IT SUCKS!!! Whatever, the games is still amazing.
i know this seems wayyyyyy off topic but for some reason this game reminds me of pokemon. if u liked this game then u should try the megaman starforce games theyre pretty good. let me know what u think. k?
i luv megaman starforce :D if i look past the annoying flaws... like some cutscene stuff is missing,too many random battles,only 3 panels to move on,etc
This game for me, is the best DS game. The Music in the video isn't good, the real in the game is much better. Very Cool Story, you like start, and want to know more, you want to know Who? Why? Very cool game. The battle is very cool.
8.3? Most would argue that this game is one of the best on the Nintendo DS. It is challenging to get into the swing of things, but once you do, you'll be hooked.
As an avid bookworm, the story is rather good too! :]
yeah, from what i've seen, this is definitely better than that new Pokemon game. i plan on buying it later today. I hope this will last me for that summer =D
"Equally compelling story"??? WTF??? This game has got the best story of any game, book, or movie i've ever read/played/watched!!! Its an AWESOME story, goshdangit!
Yeah, plus that "ending title" and the game's main title are actually designed to send a message about life. Can't explain it due to spoiler potential, but if you play it it becomes apparent.
they gave it a lower score than it deserved. i would give it a upper 8 to lower 9 for sure, especially for its groundbreaking gameplay and amazing sound and visuals, combined with an underrated story.
