If you play the game right, the attack gauge thing isn't that much of an issue. I'm usually in the thick of it whenever it runs out, so a block is an easy thing to score.

The enemies are insanely aggressive in the US version. Spiders jump on you frequently, rollers charge at you constantly. It's almost Devil May Cry-ish with the AI tactics.

I mean, you actually have to block out of necessity most of the time, instead of because you want more attack gauge!

the one main sidequest in the japanese version was a 100-floor ghost-ship dungeon, which was some hella hours. they apparently added a couple more?

yeah, though. it's not a hugely long game. which is good! if you want to maximize your weapons or whatever, i guess it is, though.

Alrighty, I've come to the conclusion that this isn't the game for me. I'm at the end of the Vedan mine, and I still have not had a single moment of fun; the entire game feels like work, and the cutscenes are so inane that I've skipped almost all of them (which hasn't detracted at all from my knowing exactly what's going on. Keep that in mind on your next game, Level 5). Yes, there ARE a million different things to do, but they're all BORING, and also require trudging through gigantic empty dungeons and hoping that a random battle will randomly drop the random thing you need to do whatever. And the whole "explore alien planets!" thing is bullshit when every "alien planet" is actually just a large, empty dungeon with random monster encounters and nothing to actually "explore".

If Circuit City won't take this game back I'll be selling it here for $30.

I almost bought this game but I bought Final Fantasy VI Advance and Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins instead!

The latter is finally $20 new. Which is reasonable.

I don't particularly like it either, but for some reason I keep playing it and I can see myself possibly even playing it through to completion. I'm like, 11 hours in, which is insane for me for a game that I started playing Saturday Morning, and I just unlocked the factory (which I do actually kinda dig).

I think the big reason I'm actually putting time into this is that I kept telling myself that I didn't want to get it because I knew I wouldn't put enough time into it to justify the cost. Kind of a silly reason, eh?

Y'know, it's cool and all that you guys hate Luvcraft something fierce, but this sort of thing does belong in the still kicking God Hand thread.

back to the topic at hand, if you think you might like Rogue Galaxy more than I did, then you're welcome to it. (mention the secret code "GODHANDSUXROFL!!" for free shipping!)

I am really enjoying this game so far, but almost every second that I play it, I think about Skies of Arcadia, and how much I want to play that again. However, I know how these things work. I know that if I play some SoA, I will only play about ten minutes, say, "Oh, that was fun," and then not want to play either of them.

[schild]

I gotta tell you, you'll know when it hits, but holy fuck does this game turn up the kickass factor. It reminds me of the stuff Square would make if they didn't start licking balls back on the Playstation. Just a fantastic games. If the dungeons were each an hour shorter, it would be one of the best 5 RPGs I've ever played. GodDAMN are there some good story pieces. The end better not let me down.

The talking cat pisses me off.

aerisdead, you're wrong.

The story isn't terrible.

No one sticks with it long enough to see it start kicking ass though.

[aerisdead]

That's kind of what I say in my review!

You can't expect a reviewer to play a 40+ hour game all the way through!

That would be insane!

I still enjoyed it though!

If I got paid to review shit, you can be damn sure I'd play through the whole thing.

Too bad they very obviously don't. And by "they" I mean, nearly all of them.

I've actually managed to beat a number of super long games before review provided I get them at least a week early.
