Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines |OT| Cursed for Life
- Thread starter Hikami
- Start date
I was actually thinking about making the OT for this game today lol. I'm happy to see people are interested in this game!
edit: The issues people were talking about Parakeetman said it shouldn't bother us since we never got the original PSP or PS1 games.
Also here was how the PSP game looked like

I have a strict no digital for big games....but shit, this is pretty tempting, especially considering it has Japanese audio.
These are the decisions that keep me up at night.
EDIT: Oh shit, I just saw that Play-Asia Asian region physical copy (in english). When does it become available?!
EDIT 2: It looks as if there's already an Asian region game, but it has Chinese subs. The one linked is just a potential placeholder. No English physical copy = /

Willing to put up with Play-Asia's shit for the physical English version of this, hopefully they start accepting pre-orders soon~

Damn. Now I hope for a fan translation of the PSP game at least
I'd like to hear more about what you mean about this. I played the PSX version ages ago and I liked it well enough, although as I mentioned earlier in the thread, I found it a bit rough. Either way, I'm curious to know what about 2 is disappointing for someone who played/liked the original, because I'm in a similar boat even if I didn't like it quite as much as you did (admittedly did not play the remake).

It does not. Only for some big release games. This will most likely be available around GCT tomorrow.

Never for a Vita game that's for sure, and one that got as little marketing as Oreshika did sadly.
I usually check by searching through my phone around 2-3PM EST.Pepsi can speak for himself but I remember he wrote quite a bit about it here:

Day one. Together with La Mulana and Titan Souls!

Thanks. Going by the description, I definitely understand the disappointment, but I'm not certain that it'll bother me that much. We'll have to see. I feel a little weird here since I was not nearly as attached to the whole developing family lineage and backstory aspect of the first game as others. It's the most unique thing about the game and it's interesting, but what's described there probably won't change that dramatically.
However... I didn't know the dungeons are now randomly generated. That is disappointing as hell, and not even just within the context of Oreshika. But within that context, having limited time and dungeon inter-dependence definitely sounds pretty crappy. It's actually making me reconsider. Oreshika 1 had dungeon "parts" that were connected randomly, but it was not like a totally random thing.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Amir0x truthfully if one never played the first game they should enjoy the title due to not knowing how the game was initially designed the changes in 2 will not effect their opinions.
Vic was trying to get license but it was too costly and I doubt since a niche game would grab attention of fan translators. But maybe something good might happen something when this game releases.
The Japanese objections to this game are all focused on one thing: Nueko. Many Japanese find her centrality to the game to be very off-putting. (So much so that an Amazon hate-campaign sprung up in an effort to destroy the game's reputation.) It is different from the first game in this regard, but personally I found 2 to be the far superior game overall, and I liked how Nueko was implemented in the game. If you never played the first, give this game a try. It's cheap, and if you like JRPGs you will probably enjoy it.
Well I'm not really concerned about past products (other than my interest in them being piqued), I'm more wondering if the game stands well on its own gameplay-wise and if its elements are worth exploring at $19.99. It's a good price as it stands, so I'm just waiting to hear from some trusted GAFers on whether or not it's worth an attempt.
I don't think Nueko will bother me, as I mentioned above. But I'm concerned about other things mentioned in the reviews.
didnt they patch out some of the more restricting nueko requirements?
I'm still extremely excited for the game just because the premise seems like absolutely nothing else out there, and if there are time limits that kind of stress actually sounds like it could be fun (I'm also apparently the only person who really enjoyed fatigue in Persona 3 and thought it added much needed tension and improved pacing).
Plus on the Megaten tip, there's God Fusion! The mythology stuff is even more of a bonus on top of how plain ridiculously good it looks. At $20 it's a clear no-brainer, very eager to decide how everything works together for myself.

Yes. I think the game got 7 patches in Japan (my JP version is 1.07, so I'm guessing it's 7), and many aspects other than Nueko were tweaked. They spent a lot of time refining it, and fortunately the English language version getting released today will be the nicely polished one.

the family system will most def get you attached to you characters and it is something unique for 20 id say its worth checking out personally!
Alright, sounds rad to me then. I'm in.

totally forgot this comes out so soon. i need to make time.....again.
is the gameplay enjoyable?

So it is definitely not available at midnight. I have the feeling that Sony will be late updating the store and I won't have a chance to play it until late tomorrow night. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but I'm really excited about this game and I want to play it before I have to leave for work.

Gonna pick this up and go in completely blind. I really know nothing about the game but at that price I'm just going to see what it's about for myself.

Can anyone advise me on the practicalities of importing this?
It was my plan to get the R3 version, but I've read somewhere that the game uses internet connection to generate dungeons after the first two (or something like that), and so importing might not be a viable option.
Any input from anyone who has played the game?

This game looks so good. I don't know if I'll ever have time to play it, but I'm definitely supporting it. Maybe while I wait for dungeon queues in FFXIV.

Launch trailer is out!
Will put update the OP with it once I'm home. Hope the game is out by then as well.
People seem to be misinterpreting the "time limit" thing though.

Really looking forward to playing this, looks gorgeous and sounds like my sort of JRPG. Won't be buying until next month though, after the March deluge.
First English review up I think:
http://gamingtrend.com/reviews/a-legacy-worth-reviving-oreshika-tainted-bloodlines-review/
Guess people who never played the original Oreshika is going to like this so get it! It's also very close to my own personal feelings about this game and I hope more people will experience this adventure.

Oh oh, random dungeon design and time limits.
I'll have to wait for impressions first.

Your character dies after approx. 2 years, which is about 24 dungeons or procreations in this game. There are systems to prolong it for a few months though.
And the dungeons are not really random. The events in them are though.

It would be a pain to try and explain it since I'm on mobile at the moment but, it's nothing like Atelier where you have to finish the game by x date or do something by x date.
Seems like reviews are starting to come out, hopefully one of them can explain it.

I loved the PSP-remake of Oreshika but I probably wouldn't buy this even if I had a Vita. Heard too many unpleasant things from other fans of the first game.

Time limits?? WTF
I am not positive but I don't think its actual time limits. You have a certain amount of time before your character dies, and you start off with your new spawn. I don' t think its anything like FAIL BAD END stuff. I could be wrong but that is my impression.
