Jeanne D'Arc Sony PSP

Jeanne D'Arc Sony PSP

Not being a great fan of cutesy cutesy RPG's, with cartoon styled graphics I wasn't expecting much from this game.
Suprisingly, I actually liked this one. The storyline is pretty good and keeps you intrested from the start.

The game is essentially a turn based RPG which is broken into different stages, each being seperated by a short cartoon cutscene.
Starting off with your main character Jeanne and her minder, you quickly gain new recruits to your party in the way of fortune, or by chance encounters.

The action is all turned based, you can move each member of your party, choose to attack or use spells or special skills ect
The game starts at an easy level and its quite easy to level up each character, even in the first few stages.

The action is viewed from above, in an isometric top down viewpoint.
This method is rather simple but it's well inplemented with nicely detailed scenery that is different in each stage of the game.

As you'd expect from any decent RPG, there's the option to buy and sell weapons, armour and spells at shops, these appear at various points on the map, generally before you start the next stage.

The games graphics are well done with lots of variety and decent cutscene cartoons, the only thing i could fault is the lack of spoken dialogue, this would have been a nice finishing touch, instead your left to read text dialogues.
I'm not sure of the overall size of Jeanne D'arc, but this games certainly worth a look if you like turn based RPG's.

7.8/10 rated.

@pspgamer01

thought I gave it 7.8/10 LOL, IF it had good voice acting instead of Text dialogue I'd have given it a higher rating.

hey PSPscene i am looking for a game for playstation 2 maybe you know it....

I remember it has similar graphics , its gameplay is like final fantasy and the main character is a guy with a red bandana and the 2nd party member is a short fat and quite stupid thief or something.... Ring any bells?

I always liked the art style

@BurnQuack The torrent of this is around 800mb so they could have easily fitted all the voice acting in this cuz the UMD can hold like 1.6 or 1.8GB's of data

I bought this and it is one of the best games ever.

@BurnQuack like the rest of the games like final fantasy crisis core, resistance: retribution, god of war chains of olympus .. etc

@PSPscene how would they fit it all the voices on a umd?!
