Hey Richard!,

I love your reviews as they give us insight on the popular games in Foreign shores (Japan). You are without a doubt one of the best reviewers out there. Keep up the good work! =)

P.S Have u played Tales of Graces F yet? I'm really looking forward to playing when it comes out in NA. Just wanted to know your opinion on it. Thanks :P

[RadicalsDreams]

@MrBloodstainz Actually, I kinda skipped Graces F and went straight to Xillia. I heard that it's okay but that Xillia was better in every way.

I think QTEs are underrated.

Much like any other game mechanic, QTEs have potential to make many games much more engaging.

It's just really unfortunate that most developers don't know how to properly use them, giving QTEs as a whole the rotten reputation it has now.

Anyway, great review! I feel much more assured that my money won't go to waste now that I've heard what you had to say about it. =]

@DjimonMoz I also think QTEs can be done well. However, I prefer more of an all (as in Heavy Rain) or none approach.

I am surprised you did not mention Radiant Historia which uses a surprisingly similar time travel mechanic. I mean I know XIII-2 uses completely different mechanic but in Radiant Historia you travel across two different timeline to eventually reach a single conclusion. Heck this game calls its mechanic Historia Crux which I think means we are going to use another games mechanic as a 'crux' for our own story. Still I do intend to check it out but you have to admit it does feel strangely similar.

@wolffster25 This game borrows heavily in the setting (aka time travel/sliding) from both Chrono Trigger/Cross and Radiant Historia. That said, that's where the similarities tend to end.
