Trinity Universe

So basically it comes out at the end of the next month, it got a score of 6/8/8/7 - 29/40 in Famitsu, I don't know any other japanese gameing magazines so this is all the info I have. Would this be worth checking out? I played Disgaea 1,3. Never played any Atelier except Atelier Annie: Alchemist of Sera Island for the DS. I never owned a PS1/2 so yeah...

So anyways what do the resident Ar Tonelico fanboys think of Trinity Universe, would it be worth buying? It's priced at 30 pounds. So was Record of Agarest war but it's down 20 pounds now, do you think the same will happen to Trinity Universe? After a month or two?

Don't get it. It's made by Idea Factory, who can't make games at all. Chaos Wars And Cross Edge are the primary examples.

Well this could mean two things they overrated Trinity Universe in that case GOD HELP US, if not then it's a really good game.

Well they gave Demon's souls 29 out of 40 (9/7/7/6) and I spent like 70ish hours playing it so yeah, they're crappy reviewers but I think they're pretty realistic when it comes to old school RPGs? An I wrong maybe?

Famitsu lost all credibility when they gave FF12, Nintendogs, MGS4, and NSMB wii 40/40.

>> No.5154811

>>5154756
Sometimes Famitsu makes a little sense though. A 40/40 for Vagrant Story? Sure, why not.

Moral of story? "Professional" reviews are too inconsistent to be useful; don't trust Metacritic or whatever gaming nerds use these days. As for this game, Chaos Wars was retarded (even cool Shadow Hearts characters couldn't save it) and Cross Edge was poop from a butt. So it doesn't look good for Trinity Universe; I would wait until it's bargain bin cheap.

FF XIII has a lot of gameplay, a large amount of the game is spent battling. Resonance of Fate is good if you're willing to put up with the steep learning curve. There's a demo, but only on the Japanese PSN. SO4 is a good game, I wish I had waited for the PS3 version since it's better.

Trinity Universe Story (Kanata)

For generations, Kanata’s ancestors have protected the Netheruniverse by transmogrifying into a Demon God Gem. However, Demon God King Kanata refused to become the gem and instead became a Demon Dog King. Since then, he has enjoyed a carefree life in hiding, but he eventually began thinking about the toll of his decision. Accepting the title of Demon God King and becoming the gemstone will stop space debris from crashing into his world. If he could get to the source of the space debris and solve the problem, everybody will be happy. Determined, Kanata goes on a journey to save his world.

Trinity Universe Story (Rizelea)

Rizelea is a Valkyrie who keeps the galaxy’s peace and harmony. She has been keeping the peace for hundreds of years, but one day she decides to go to the run-down sections of the Netheruniverse to restore the peace there. When she arrives, she learns that the Netheruniverse is constantly in danger from space debris and decides to investigate this matter.

>Resonance of Fate is not exceptional, but has solid story and gameplay

I'm sorry but have you actually beaten the game? I beat it last night. The answer is it has an exceptional -everything except for story-, which is odd for an RPG. The battle system is fun, but ultimately I'm now post-game going through the arena doing the same attach over and over (leanne left, zephyr right, tri-attack). It's still a great game though.

In any case, 3D Etna = what. Agarest is "ok" if you're a kusoge hunter I guess, Idea Factory make these Earth Defense Force-ish games that are mediocre but fun. Trinity Universe doesn't look that good, but the art in Agarest saves the game.

My suggestion would be to get Resonance of Fate, or 3D Dot Game Heroes. If you really want an IF game, go for Agarest above Cross Edge or this.

Rorona'll be out "sometime this year", have fun waiting for AT3

Well, I am 18 hours in.
Gameplay is SOLID and requires attention, but nothing groundbreaking and can get repetitive.
Characters and their interactions are good eough for me to not go 'What?' and the story is easy to follow along.
If it does not go anywhere, that may be an issue, but still/

If you do all missions like I did, it'll take 60-70 hours. If you skip them, the game can be beaten in 10 hours, but things like the clothing shop will close down and you can't get costumes if you skip their missions.

My only problem with this game is that now I'm post-game, Neverland is too hard and the Arena is too weak. I don't have anywhere to grind. I guess I'll go back to maxing out the arena, even if it is a complete breeze, if not time consuming.
