Odin Sphere

*whew*

The fighting is so damn hardcore! I've already counted 50+ deaths so far. If this is what normal is, I'd really rather not try difficult mode. I just finished the Forest of the Fairies, and it was not easy at all. I had like a bag full of health tonics, now I have half of whats left. Confused

So anyways, GameTrailers.com has released their review of the game. Check it out:
MOV (45.2 MB) / WMV (42.7 MB)

I played it yesterday, and I love it. <3 I love the art style, I love the story thus far, I love the characters thus far. The item system is pretty nifty and open as well.

My favorite part is the combat though. It requires a bit of strategy in order to avoid many deaths. (Although I died a good number of times already) But I don't think its unreasonably difficult yet. It reminds of a beat em up that looks like an anime and that is much harder. I only wish there were more normal attacks at your disposal or available later. I'm not sure if its every going to be available, but I would sort of like to see more than 4 attacks and a jumping attack and magic. The magic/Syphon system is kinda iffy.....but I suppose its balanced in a way, given that your magic is so powerful.

The only thing Im not too found of is the leveling system. I sort of prefer normal experience/stat growths over their system, but its still a decent and somewhat entertaining diversion to the normalcy of your every-RPG.

Overall its a good game that has great potential and I hope to get it soon...

Yes, I love this game so far. Still only at early stages of Gwendolyn's story, but it's pretty fun. I'm also playing at normal difficulty and I find some of the bosses need several tries to beat. I couldn't beat general Brigan so I back tracked a little and went back to the forest to grind. I'm beating the forest stages over and over getting some B~S ranks and building up my level and money. Also, I like that fact that you never really accumulate huge number of items that never gets used. In this game, every item has a use and gets used pretty quickly. For example, I gather all the useless seeds and onniones and transform them to some high exp food with Juggler: Great way to level my HP and make some room in inventory.

I'm gonna level my weapon some more before going back to face Brigan again. Because more than the matter of skill, my weapon was doing so little damage to him that by the time I did like 50 glide attacks, he was only down to half health.

I hope that after this game's success, Atlus decides to bring Princess Crown PSP to stateside.

Velvet was so annoying, she used the whole battlefield as a weapon and she kept moving around =___=

I find that training is pretty easy. At first I thought this game was too hard, but after I figured out how to level up fast, it's not so bad. Most boss fights were pretty easy after some training. I'm playing Cornelius fighting Velvet's imposter; I may need some more training for this one.
I love the whole phozon/alchemy system in this game. Combining different stuff and figuring out the fastest ways to get lot of high level materials was pretty fun.

The story so far isn't too bad, but I love the characters. Gwendolyn is so awesome >;3 I love her.

Worst enemy ever so far.

Green f*cking blobs. You can't hit 'em. Evil or Very Mad

I've killed them once with a killer cloud, but I'm obviously extremely limited to them...

Did anyone notice that king Odin isn't called Odin in Japanese version, instead he's called Ordyne?
Also, he's voiced by the same VA that played Ikari Gendo (Evangelion).
