Record of Agarest War Review (C486)
(First impressions)
Saw this on sale so thought why not?
Had a couple crashes, but that is to be expected from a day one purchase.
As for the combat, nothing to write home about to be honest.
(Characters)
Well, the MC is your typical wet noodle protagonist. (Especially around the support cast.)
As for the support cast, a decent first impression.
Definitely reminds me of a PS2 - PS3 era game, which isn't a bad thing.
Might update once 100% status is acquired.
But for now, would I recommend?
No, not at asking price.
I would advise waiting for a month or two after the necessary fixes are made and a favorable sale of 50% or more.
Update:
So after 100%'ing this game I must say that I did like it despite the issues I had with it.
After taking the time to look into the story though, I liked some points about it but it ultimately was a fetch quest.
The inheritance system (Not sure if that's the technical term) was something I haven't seen done in other games and I did enjoy that, until I learned that once you got into NG+ it didn't matter.
As for the grind aspect, first playthrough was, something. But afterwards, I found I could complete both generations within 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
In short, I did enjoy this game and the routes but, sadly it doesn't change my initial thought on this game.
But hey, if you enjoy grinding maybe you'll like this title.
Well, onto the other Agarest games...
