  • Question: What's the VA situation on this game?
  • Answer: Should be full JP and English VA, unless something changed!

  • Question: What about the DLC the JP version got?
  • Answer: It's not included, but what is included is the update that decreases load times as well as allows you to skip battle animations! The DLC is planned to be brought over as well.

  • Question:This looks a lot like Trinity Universe, am I right?
  • Answer: Yep, it seems a lot of stuff from the game is reused.

  • Question: Were there any bonuses from NISA?
  • Answer: Yep, a set of trading cards featuring characters from the game. They allotted 1000 units and even had to make more due to overwhelming preorders (that free shipping must've helped!) It is now SOLD OUT until further notice. They'll announce later on if they have any remaining units.

Already preordered from the 'Zon! I'm interested for the novelty factor, mostly. It's like Segagaga Part 2!

As for the peso stuff, at least Green Heart (Xbox) seems...grown up.

Because the Wii is supposedly for kids and the 360 for "mature" adults. Anyway i'm interested in this game, though I want to get an idea if it's any good or not.

Ah, thanks for reminding me. Still haven't preordered yet. They still got those cards or whatever in the Nis store?

Edit: Hmmm, can't find it on the store at all. They sold out? Guess I'll just head to Amazon.

I just love the idea that you're major consoles fighting the R-4 chip. It's a shame the reviews are so awful, as even middling I'd grab it in a heartbeat to reward the novelty.

This is also how I ended up with Killer 7 at launch. Will be very interested in GAF feedback.

Any decent PAL deals or bonuses for this?

Idea Factory developed it.


Look up their shining repertoire of quality games.


But I'll be fair: the concept is amusing, the designs are just plain creepy.

H-how many other times has something like this occured to the point that it's a recognizable trend?!

I think with the right localization I could really enjoy this game, but no way am I paying full price. I'm very curious to read other people's impressions, especially about the battle system. The JP version didn't impress me on a stream, but supposedly they made improvements for this one.

1wk in advance? Im glad I secured my copy with the cards. I know one thing, I so can not wait. This will be the perfect game to distract me from my test next week. I guess I should prowl a site and see if any FAQs have been made.

Yes, official threads generally will be locked if they're put up too far in advance. One week prior is what I've seen some mods suggest as a good date to post them.

Sort of irritated that NIS is releasing this a month ahead of Ar Tonelico Qoga and in the midst of so many other Japanese game releases. At a slow time of year (like when Trinity Universe released last year) I would absolutely pick it up but this quarter is already packed for me in terms of my spending limit on gaming.

February isn't the worst offender (Tactics Ogre!) but in March I have Ar Tonelico Qoga, Yakuza 4, Dissidia 012 and The Third Birthday and those are just the definite buys. I'm still thinking about Dragon Age 2, Knight's Contract and Trinity: Souls of Zill'Oll but will most likely have to skip those for awhile as well.

It sure would be nice to have some of this gaming goodness spread out a little bit more!

Wonder why they made the PS3 girl a tsundere.

it's an idea factory game, so no, it won't be any good.

i like the concept but i just wish it were developed by a decent company.

Dude how do you not have a PS3, they have been, for several months, more low cost than ever. Verily make haste so you get to experience this seemingly phenomenal game or at least in time before the most epic entry in an RPG series comes out...Disgaea 4!

Not enough free time for it to be worth it. Between Wii and PC I've got enough gaming for now, I can't in good conscience drop 200+ on a system and games that I won't get around to playing.

Now this summer...that's a different story.

Idea Factory has an extremely devout(or more likely, short-sighted) group who seem willing to buy anything they put out. I think it's probably the result of blind devotion to the NIS brand, really; which is sad. They can localize better.

ZT Game Domain review said:
With item abilities, your characters can use items that heal HP, cure status effects, and add buffs. The way this is handled is by adding points to each character’s ability. If you want your character to heal every time their health goes lower than 50%, you need to add points to that healing ability. This is one of the biggest problems I have with this game. You can only heal in combat, and it’s not going to work 100% of the time. The player themselves cannot use a healing item manually. So, let’s say one of your characters is down to low HP. You end that battle and then move on to another battle. That character is still low on HP and they get hit by another enemy, killing them. There was nothing you could do to stop it because your characters heal themselves and only do it after receiving damage. It’s a horrible mechanic.

Holy shit! Who thought this was a good idea? I don't understand how something like this could make it into a final game?

Not really expecting a fantastic game or anything, but Idea Factory knows my weakness, I guess.

The fact that the update is included from the get-go is really a good thing.

At first I stopped playing it because battles were soooooooo loooooooooong. Then the content update was released and the game became good ! So now everyone should at least enjoy it for what it is, without hindrance.
