Discover Zavvi also have the Day one Special

Spoiler:

Lineage & Legacies feels so forced, trying to make Asbel take Cheria and creating the Hubert & Pascal couple.

It pretty much is...since it was just made to add some closure...and give Wii owners a reason to buy the new version

[Shizuka]

And now that I'm near the end of Lineage & Legacies, I feel like I can talk about the game... The cast sucks. All the characters, except for Pascal, sucks. All the characters, they're either dull or annoying. Hubert and Cheria are the worst, throughout the whole game. Richard and Malik are dull, and when they try to crack a joke, it gets even worse.

The extra chapter, Lineage & Legacies, is the cherry on top. It feels like they try to answer the questions by bringing things that don't make any sense, approach new things through a convoluted way and try to finish everything in a hurried way. I feel like the story and the characters are horrible, and the extra chapter makes that even worse.

The gameplay is nice, the puzzles are somewhat joyful at times, and even that gets boring after you see that some of those puzzles were included just to make you spend more time playing the game. The graphics could be better, but I do get that for an updated port of a Wii game, it looks nice. Overall, I'm rating the game a 5, and I wouldn't really recommend the game for anybody. I can't wait to finish it and get back to Disgaea 3 Vita.

Quite the harsh review you wrote there Shizuka. I can agree with you in some points though.

Story - Yeah the tales games has seen better ones
Characters - Same here though everyone has his favourites, while on that topic am I the only one on this board that dislikes Pascal the most?

For the rest, I once again can agree to some points, I wouldn't go that far and say that I'm not recommending the game to anybody, as I enjoyed the game a lot, but hey that's your opinion.

My rating for the JP version was 90%.

So it's as I thought and the localization screwed the game?

I can't say anything about that as I will get the localzied version in August.

I see

You seem to rate anime more harshly than games.

[Alura--x--Uneii]

I would say you're making it worse than it actually is, but that's just me. xD

Nah, It's just that when I buy a game I usually do more reaseach about it, ou can't really do that for animes unless you read the manga. Since that works most of the time I can usually eliminate the games I would rate lower than 80%.

And for the record my rating of Graces F was higher at one point (93%) but I hate to lower for various reasons of which some of them I stated above.

Lineage & Legacies, Cheria and Hubert left a bitter taste in my mouth.

[Darcnova]

Lineage and Legacies was pretty bad, even I'll admit that...as for characters, I gave my opinion on all Team Destiny characters...seeing as the only ones I really like are a few ToD characters, and ToR characters

[Shizuka]

And about Pascal, I can get why people would dislike her, I agree that she isn't a great character, and even though it's my bias, I'd be unfair to say she's the best character and everybody else sucks.

Asbel, for one hand, is a fucking hypocrate:

Spoiler:

"No Sophie, don't sacrifice yourself, but hey, don't get in my way to sacrifice myself!"

ToD was done before the teams split up actually.

Spoiler:

That's a major cliche in the anime scene period, but yeah, he did it a bit too much...heck, even Lloyd, one of my most disliked characters didn't pull that move

My favorite character in this was

Spoiler:

Lambda...

@vampko - riight, I always forget, even when I tell people that as well...didn't the DC version add more to the characters in terms of personality though? And isn't that made after the split? or still before?
