When it comes down to it, I'm sad to say that I'm mildly disappointed in Resonance of Fate. I was overly-hyped for the game, hoping it would deliver a new and unique RPG experience for me to love. While the battle system receives two thumbs up for trying, the rest of the game receives a thumbs down. The steep difficulty might turn off casual RPG fans, though hardcore RPG fans will enjoy the challenge to be had. It's hard to recommend Resonance of Fate to all of the RPG fans out there, seeing as how there's much better RPG options out now for the PS3. Resonance of Fate will be played by few, remembered by fewer, and ultimately will be know more for what it could have been than what the final product is; another above average RPG from Tri-Ace.
Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
From Xfire: "The golden era of JRPGs has long since passed, with more traditional RPGs having planted themselves firmly under the spotlight for the better part of the past two decades. However, while there's not been as many JRPG games released in recent years, there's still enough of them being released that results in certain titles slipping under the proverbial radar."
Highly recommended if you like FF Tactics. I believe it was Colin Moriarty's (Last Stand Media) GOTY last year.
Most of these are the weak story jrpgs which is why its an easy pass for myself. I don't have love to turn based or tactics battles systems but I enjoy the other aspects of jrpgs. The most important aspect to me is the story. I have put up with playing horrible battle systems and mini games that should never exist to enjoy the lengthy and amazing stories these games have. For some reason around the PS3 days they seemed to think, who cares about story just worry about battle system and crafting. So if those are the things you're looking for then this list is for you.
I’ve been trying to get back into playing JRPGs lately. With the recent release of Persona 5 Strikers, I finally decided to start playing Royal. I don’t know if I can make the time for just any JRPG though, and Persona games are always an experience and a half.
Arc System Works announced today that Resonance of Fate 4K/HD Edition will be getting a physical release in Asian territories starting this December.
very memorable game for me last generation. nothing will ever beat the ps360wii era for me
Indeed it was, it was better game that Resonance and Remnant imo. Square has struggled to make a AAA game of that caliber since. The IP needs to be sold, then again I can say that of any square franchise that isn't Romance Saga, Final Fantasy, or Dragon Quest.
Well, I had no interest in this title to begin with, good to know I should pass on it.
I played the demo and was like, "eeeeeeewwwwwwwwww, no, no, no buy for me."
I thought it was maybe just because I don't like many RPGs, but now I know it's not just me.
