As someone who only found out about this game with the remake, I feel like I definitely missed out by not getting this game on DS, but I'm also glad that I'm only just now playing it so I could experience the game for the first time with full voice acting, because holy cow is this game's voice acting good.
This game is incredible, I really like the story and cared about the characters. Solid story and characters, something that we don't see too often on the current Rpg's/Jrpg's.
For the love of god, can we stop calling this a remake :') It's a remaster. They didn't develop from scratch again, they just polished and added to the base game
The Bravely serie is another good RPG. Pokémon and Yo-kai Watch if you are into those things. Legend of Legacy is not my cup of tea but I still recommend it. Those are the only RPG (not turn base strategy) I’ve played
There are 3 full smt games on 3ds, a bunch of etrian odyssey including persona q and q2 is on the way, remake of dragon quest viii, remake of tales of the abyss. All those games are great (havent played etrian odyssey games or persona q though so not sure about them)
Played the original game again a while ago. Still in love with it, because it does so much right compared to its peers regarding the story, its premisse and *_specially_* the character development. Not a big fan of Eruca's changed look - short hair suits her so much more - but aside from that there's really not much to add from what Ash said. It's a worthy entry in the Hall of Greats, alongside Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI and Lufia II.
So mainstream anime look in this = bad, but mainstream anime look in Xenoblade 2 = good? But games' predecessors had much better art styles. Maybe I'm getting too old for this type of games. Every JRPG dev seem to go for the waifu growd nowadays.
Amazing game, I've been playing the demo and I really like everything about it from the story to the artstyle. It starts out sorta easy but over time gets really hard. I've been stuck flipping between timelines to try to advance past the mine in which you discussed in the review. After I finish the demo I fully intend on buying this on my New 2ds. (By the way I never played the original DS game)
I think the video did a decent spoiler-free review. The short of it is this. There's not much for returning players. Almost everything is kept the same, even the graphics don't look that updated. The large character art that pops up during conversations is decidedly worse. The bonus content was meh. You can cheese through normal non-boss fights in this version though.
Think this is all they’ll do for it since it seems Ash is the only one who’s played it and he’s only a part-time GXer so might not have time to put out a full review
I loved the original but I might pass on Perfect Chronology given what seems to be a lack of major new content. I am disappointed with the lack of updated graphics and the change of art style (and I have to agree with Ash's frustration with Eruca's new design). However one thing that Ash did not mention in the discussion that I thought is a major improvement is the varied character portraits. In the original game every single character has one and only one dialogue portrait regardless of the emotion they're expressing in the dialogue. Thus you get awkward moments where one character who is clearly very furious in dialogue would appear to be smiling in a cheerful manner in his character portrait. It might be a minor change to some but while I'm not the biggest fan of the new art style, the fact that every character has multiple portraits to convey emotions would add a level of immersion the original lacked.
Honestly, I'd much rather keep the amazing, unique style of the original over varied portraits. The new design is incredibly generic. Especially Eruca's entire design which is honestly ridiculous. She has this dumb Moe look to her which just kills the regal look she had in the original. The whole generic Disney Princess look of her is honestly unbearable. And that anime opening...damn it's ugly. Ugh, the song doesn't suit the story at all. It's just nothing like the atmosphere of the game and neither is the new art style (which at least is WAY better quality than the opening cinematic.) I'm definitely sticking to the original. There's no way I can settle for less.
+FluteGeek you can get the original portraits for perfect chronology. unfortunately it's $2.50 dlc... I personally hate the new art style as well as the anime intro so I'm a bit salty that we have to pay to get the original art back
Yeah, they should've upgraded the graphics. I played the original and I liked it, but when I saw the trailer for Perfect Chronology and it looked the same, I knew I'm not gonna buy it.
I just saw that this game is on sale and I haven't played the original tho I did play the demo. So from the gist of this video if I haven't played the 3DS and love RPGs, this is a highly recommended game then huh? Well I am sold, that plus it's a very long game that's currently 20% off and I am a big fan of good RPG games, especially ones where I can grind happily. Basically depending on my paycheck, I might get this vs Persona 5 as I can get that anytime while this game is on sale for a limited amount of time.
Would've been better on Switch, but that's pretty much my opinion of any game that comes to 3DS now. I loved the original and will pick this up for 3DS eventually.
The duel screen cant be replicated and it makes many games on the 3ds only possible on this system, such as radiant historia, the screen would be way too cluttered
I hate how Atlus adds the DLC. it's just so disgusting and a miss opportunity to add these additional DLCs as actual content with the game. I really hate how most of their RPGs nowadays have those very expensive shortcut DLCs. Heck to the point that SMT IV seems to have been balanced around these shortcut DLCs. All in all Radiant Historia is a great RPG and kinda gives me that Suikoden 2 feeling so I highly recommend the game but the DLCs really tarnish the game.
Ive got 114 hrs into this and still havent hit the perfect ending about 15-20% of it missing. Before anyone gets on me about not completing it in 114 hrs...i dont use and guides ever. And some of this games more secretive side content can be very criptic on many different levels through the quest. In love with it though. No regrets on a single hour played...will i ever get the perfect ending?...i dont know. With 93 3ds titles and 20 or more classic rpgs...gotta shelf Radiant Historia for now...as ive seen most of the game and i csnt justify playing it wheb my backlog is like 50 games deep :/. One day.....maybe
Got the launch edition on DS and played it for 6 hours and got sidetracked with other games before getting any farther. When I finally got back to it I forgot what the heck I was supposed to do. Lol! So I got this edition and I find it better with the extras it has in it than the original had....5 music tracks on a cd. rly?. But it seems like I'm having more fun with this one especially with the voice acted cutscenes, extra histories, and the various difficulty modes. Friendly mode is great. :) It makes it seem like an Ys kind of deal. And you can still get into regular battles if you want.
I've finished this game but don't remember anything about it anymore. What's so bad about the third timeline that makes it worse for returning players?
The third timeline isn't bad at all. Ash said he wasn't that far in to the game and it shows. The Possible Timeline is actually pretty fun, showing lots of alternate stories, and involves a rather interesting plot in it. In no way shape or form does it make things worse.
Loved this (and finished it) on DS, but sold it because I didn't see any replay value. Think I'll be passing on the re-vamp, as I think most of the changes actually detract from why I enjoyed the DS version.
I think the game is great. I think the combat is 'okay' and character progression isn't super interesting in comparison to other games like Bravely Default or Etrian Odyssey which are oozing with customization, but the story and characters are great. Very good game for the RPG enthusiasts who really like a well written story.
skmattso I love the game, but I mostly agree. I love the combat personally, but character progression is serviceable. I loved the story though. Heiss and Stocke are two of my favorite gaming characters thanks to this game!
I'm torn. I want a sequel, so I should financially back this remake. But I already have the original, so I'd be buying the same game again with negligible changes for full price. ARGH!
I do love this game a lot. I like the combat, it can be really fun to pull off. I can see and understand the dislike in art style, as the original did have nice art. I don't like how they're offering the original art has paid DLC, I most likely was not going to buy the DLC anyways no matter how much I love this game, but I am sure as shit not buying it now.
I'll have to disagree with you with a lot you said about the new content. You said yourself you havn't finished the game but the possible history timeline holds important relevance to the standard timeline once you complete and collect all the artifacts. Some of the quest even add in and give other possible paths on some nodes in the story when completed. Next time finish the game before you give a review on this remake.
This whole strategy aspect is overblown. Like if you have recovery and heal you basicly lose less MP on auto battles that doing those combos on random battles.
Chriss RE You could do that, but it would just make battles tedious and boring. Frankly, you’d be better off playing on Easy Mode if you want to skip the non-boss battles
I'm going to honest. I completely disagree with his comments on the art style. I think the change is for the best. It's a lot cleaner to look at and a lot more expressive which adds more to the characters. Obviously your mileage may vary on the change to Eruca's hair style, but overall I consider the art style change to be for the best.
Blueblade13 Yeah, I totally agree, for most characters. There are a few that look worse, but others look way better. It might be my bias for long haired blondes, but Erika looks way better.
DarthR0xas I’m with you two. I prefer the remake’s artstyle over the original’s. Most characters look better in the remake. The only character I’d say looks bad in the remake is Viola, but Heiss and Eruca are dramatically improved so it makes up for it IMO. I actually played the original first but couldn’t get into it until I played the remake. It is rare for a remake to retroactively make the original version better when I didn’t like it at first.
I beg to differ. A clean art style does not necessarily mean better, as cleanliness would lean more on simplicity and the mundane instead of leaving an impression. I personally do like the new art style, mainly due to its unique rendering, but the original art style definitely sells the tone of the game more.
Wow... I was lightly convinced to jump on board with this by someone else who hadn't played it before and picked it up, but the fact that this game even has DLC is really kind of killing it for me. It's a remake/remaster of an old game, and you can't just sell me a whole package without trying to nickel and dime me? And with what you said about the palate swaps being PAID DLC, that's actually pretty disgusting imo. Makes this feel like more of a cash grab as opposed to an excuse to get the game into more people's hands, which is something I would have been totally fine with, because honestly the game did deserve it. But man... considering I was at a "pretty shaky 'like it'" like you were with it being a remake... I'm kinda hoping I can take it back. I'll just stick to the original... (Short-haired Eruca is best Eruca)
Eruca whyyyyyyyyyyyyy what happened to your hair and your face in general???? You don't have to compete with Raynie for breast and long flowing hair! You look good with your short, curly hair, your crown more ornate, your orbs more round and defiant, and you actually look like you know how to handle your gun.
Combat looks meh. Characters also don’t look very good. Not sure how I feel about going back in time either. Do you get more party members than the 3 in this video? How’s the magic and skill variety? Environment/enemy and gear variety?
There's a total of 7. You can only use 3 though. Stocke's stats were all-around , and has mostly fire-based magic. Raynie is your typical magic user , comes with big three. Marco is one of the better support/healer unit. Aht has a grid traps , elemental based traps that damages enemy when it stepped on the said grid. Rosch is your tank , he's behind your level though. Gafka is a monk , aka your fisticuffs master that deals as much damage as Stocke but has a dragging move like Marco. Eruca is basically a reverse Stocke , she's a magic user like Raynie and Aht , but based on only one spells , ice based spells
Lol. Dont see why. I find both Project X zone games much worse than this...and in that game its more funny than distracting. Perverts exist in real life...so applying it isn't the worst alot of times in massive rpgs
This game drags on for a really long time and begins to be repetitive in some ways. You'll be begging for it to finish. It sure does feel like a DS era game, with some nice touches with voice acting. What I dislike is how easy it is to avoid enemies, so you're basically having to force yourself to battle purposely to gain exp. And you'll fight the same exact enemies throughout the whole game. I like the combo system and turn order swapping better than braving and defaultng from Bravely Default. You can actually create a combo without being an expert. In order to play this game, you NEED A LOT of free time!! So good luck ever finishing it. I forgot to mention, the side quests are really repetitive and just involve you going to another time period to talk to someone, then go back to the other time to complete the quest. This game LOVES to do this and its annoying back tracking that I completely hate doing. What makes it worse is that you have to think about which time period will allow you to talk to that specific person so you may end up wasting your time searching the wrong time period. Unless you're using a guide, this is very tedious. Story is excellent and so is the voice acting, but the music does repeat itself a lot throughout the game.
Wow, on top of the worse art style and change to Eruka, you have to BUY the old art style? Come on, Atlus, you're better than this. I might not even pick this up since it doesn't seem to add much from the original.
Generic "animu" redesigns. Ugly opening cinematic. Fanservice DLC. Nope. Not buying this. I was happy that this game was getting some more recognition, but now I'm just disappointed. If Radiant Historia ever gets a sequel, I wouldn't be surprised to see Waifu content and other fluff content. Maybe they'll even let us marry different girls across different timelines and create your own cross dimensional harem. yay. Really kills the atmosphere. I'm sticking with the original. At least I wouldn't have to listen to or watch that OP.
No Filter A Nintendo Podcast One of the best, hub? You mean push every enemy to one spot and combo off of that every single match. Depending on the enemy position you are basically doing the exact same thing every time. I know someone here said the same thing. It gets old after a while. And hitting enemies doesn't even feel good or satisfying. Everything else seems good but the fighting system just turned me off. When you have a fighting system that heavily relies on a type of combo system to be the most effective, you are basically asked to do that combo every fight. And when it comes to just positioning enemies, well that's just boring and repetitive.
SolBuster that can be said about literally every single tuen based combat system in an rpg ever made. This one involved choosing the right moves to position characters appropriately, and swapping out turns to combo effectively. Not required but the most efficient way to proceed. What about persona 5? Find the weakness and attack with said weakness. Over, and over, and over again. However that requires you to memprize the enemies weakness, whereas this requires only what is occurring in that specific combat situation. Legitimately every tuen based rpg has that kind of reptitiveness. Bravely default, default a few times, then brave everyone to high combat damage. Over, and over again. Or in fact, just hit the fast fwd attack button. I could go on and on. So no i completely disagree that that is a bad thing. If anythinf it is good, because every combat has something different to deal with, new moves are required and a bit of a puzzle aspect is needed to place in the corrext spots.
Why do Nintendo always release those kinds of games / remakes for a console that's at the end of its life cycle? I do have a 3DS but I'd much rather spend my money on a game for my Switch than for my 3DS at this point.... and so would many people, I assume :/
Vickqyttor the console is still making money and is not like is afecting the switch sales, also they probably started this before the switch was a thing.
Bakatora04 yeah, I thought so... the complaint was more like a "aw geez I wanna play that, just not enough to spend my cash on a console I've already left to collect dust and nothing more :/" than a critique on the company itself hahaha
FerrariKangaroo yeah, not thrilled. I got the nice launch edition box, but also have the little CD box edition of the original. I guess it's on me for not checking for sure 1st, but the box has the 3D warning and a 3D 7+ tag, so I assumed it was good to go for 3D. Now I'm not so sure if I want it. New 3DS makes 3D essential in my opinion.
@Geoff Baumgartner So you have both? Would you say it's a worthwhile upgrade or should I stick with my NDS copy? I must say that even though the lack of 3D really irks me, I am tempted by the nice packaging of the launch edition box.
As someone who only found out about this game with the remake, I feel like I definitely missed out by not getting this game on DS, but I'm also glad that I'm only just now playing it so I could experience the game for the first time with full voice acting, because holy cow is this game's voice acting good.
If you do some other reviews like this, I actually wouldn't mind. It feels like a friend recommending it rather than just a review. 10/10.
3DS...still lives!!!!!
Chase 64 Cubed - YES!!!!
In about a couple of years, I would love to hear about a next generation handheld releasing soon afterwards.
the fact that there is no 3d aspect to this game tells me that it will soon be ported to switch so you say it lives i say its slowly dying
@@Copeydude101 Still hoping on this one
This game is incredible, I really like the story and cared about the characters. Solid story and characters, something that we don't see too often on the current Rpg's/Jrpg's.
Moon Door hello there
I think the graphics look fine. Just like with FF6 and some other remasters, sometimes the originals are just better and things are better left alone.
If it's going to have a graphical treatment I think it needs to be a brand new engine/look. Because ff6/CT looked a bit funky with the iOS ones
For the love of god, can we stop calling this a remake :') It's a remaster. They didn't develop from scratch again, they just polished and added to the base game
I love the fact it's fully voiced. Love the story. I've played the original and found that this was a worthy remake/port.
One of my favorite DS games
The new True Ending is amazing and glad they resolved what they didn’t do in the original.
How many good RPGs does the 3ds have? I wish I had more free time!
The Bravely serie is another good RPG.
Pokémon and Yo-kai Watch if you are into those things.
Legend of Legacy is not my cup of tea but I still recommend it.
Those are the only RPG (not turn base strategy) I’ve played
There are 3 full smt games on 3ds, a bunch of etrian odyssey including persona q and q2 is on the way, remake of dragon quest viii, remake of tales of the abyss. All those games are great (havent played etrian odyssey games or persona q though so not sure about them)
I heard of tales of abyss
The best ds rpg ever made. Chrono trigger on steroids. If you havent played this game.. DO IT.
Played it completed it in 30 hours and it was excellent!
You know, I think an Avalon Code remake would be cool.
So I never played the original and I’m really liking it
Played the original game again a while ago. Still in love with it, because it does so much right compared to its peers regarding the story, its premisse and *_specially_* the character development.
Not a big fan of Eruca's changed look - short hair suits her so much more - but aside from that there's really not much to add from what Ash said. It's a worthy entry in the Hall of Greats, alongside Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI and Lufia II.
The structure has more in common with Chrono Cross than Trigger.
I dropped the original game as soon as this was announced. I love this game. It's one of the best DS RPGs.
So mainstream anime look in this = bad,
but mainstream anime look in Xenoblade 2 = good?
But games' predecessors had much better art styles. Maybe I'm getting too old for this type of games. Every JRPG dev seem to go for the waifu growd nowadays.
I too miss the days of varied art styles like Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Lunar, good times.
Played this back in the day on the DS. My favorite RPG of all time.
Amazing game, I've been playing the demo and I really like everything about it from the story to the artstyle. It starts out sorta easy but over time gets really hard. I've been stuck flipping between timelines to try to advance past the mine in which you discussed in the review. After I finish the demo I fully intend on buying this on my New 2ds. (By the way I never played the original DS game)
Thank you for this! Just purchased :) I'm excited to play
11:43 I didn’t catch that, what series did he say?
Parasite Eve
I will never overcome what they did to Princess Eruca
Didn't even recognize her.
I love your review! im gonna try this game today
Looking forward to your review on The Alliance Alive!
Hmm thought this was a review but then it's a discussion. I don't think there is a real review on the channel unless this is it?
I think the video did a decent spoiler-free review. The short of it is this. There's not much for returning players. Almost everything is kept the same, even the graphics don't look that updated. The large character art that pops up during conversations is decidedly worse. The bonus content was meh. You can cheese through normal non-boss fights in this version though.
Think this is all they’ll do for it since it seems Ash is the only one who’s played it and he’s only a part-time GXer so might not have time to put out a full review

Yeah, they should've upgraded the graphics. I played the original and I liked it, but when I saw the trailer for Perfect Chronology and it looked the same, I knew I'm not gonna buy it.
Just bought this game after heavy recommendations from friends and decided to get the remake over an original version because of the voice acting.
Really hope you’re enjoying it.
I cant believe I missed this game on the DS and this is coming from a person who played dozens of DS games
Had to find my 3ds and dust it off. Plan on finishing PQ and moving on to this.
Most of the added content is at the end of the game. He should have finished it before reviewing. I Think it's exclent for returning ds players
I just saw that this game is on sale and I haven't played the original tho I did play the demo. So from the gist of this video if I haven't played the 3DS and love RPGs, this is a highly recommended game then huh?
Well I am sold, that plus it's a very long game that's currently 20% off and I am a big fan of good RPG games, especially ones where I can grind happily. Basically depending on my paycheck, I might get this vs Persona 5 as I can get that anytime while this game is on sale for a limited amount of time.
really Loving your content guys, keep up the great work. Got a subscribe and like from me
Would've been better on Switch, but that's pretty much my opinion of any game that comes to 3DS now. I loved the original and will pick this up for 3DS eventually.
I'd argue that it would be worse on the switch since the already dated graphics would look much worse on a big screen.
The duel screen cant be replicated and it makes many games on the 3ds only possible on this system, such as radiant historia, the screen would be way too cluttered
+Aaron Burkholder If they can remake The World End With You for the Switch, they can do the same here.
You know what would be better on the switch? A sequel to this game
donzaloog1400 The TWEWY remake is more of the mobile version than the DS version, just look at the gameplay.
I hate how Atlus adds the DLC. it's just so disgusting and a miss opportunity to add these additional DLCs as actual content with the game.

I have this on pre-order, but haven't got this yet.
Are there only 3 playable characters?
No, there is 6 playable characters. If you haven't played it yet, you missed out. Just beat the game and loved it.
My Walmart had the launch edition with all the Switch games, and I bought it thinking it was a Switch game. Good thing I have a 3DS.
I have so much to play right now, but damn do I want this game.
I like the disgaea style fighting
I beat the third ending... I think its a good addition.
I always thought stocke was pronounced stoke not stock.
I think the game is great. I think the combat is 'okay' and character progression isn't super interesting in comparison to other games like Bravely Default or Etrian Odyssey which are oozing with customization, but the story and characters are great.

Came here after the huge 3DS eShop sale
The new fire emblem looks great so far
1japanfan
It’s called a joke but ok
I got the joke. Don't worry memesalad.
Floral/MemeSalad Your joke would have hit harder if you said fire emblem spinoff :P
Would've gotten if it was on switch.
"More on the Switch" oops XD
I do love this game a lot. I like the combat, it can be really fun to pull off. I can see and understand the dislike in art style, as the original did have nice art. I don't like how they're offering the original art has paid DLC, I most likely was not going to buy the DLC anyways no matter how much I love this game, but I am sure as shit not buying it now.
Another duo-review. Woot.
I'll have to disagree with you with a lot you said about the new content. You said yourself you havn't finished the game but the possible history timeline holds important relevance to the standard timeline once you complete and collect all the artifacts. Some of the quest even add in and give other possible paths on some nodes in the story when completed. Next time finish the game before you give a review on this remake.
Soooo... It's like doctor who and avalon code with the book.
It doesn't worth the truble getting it in cartridge. Buy it from the e shop when on sale. Cool RPG. But the story is a little on the simple side.
This whole strategy aspect is overblown. Like if you have recovery and heal you basicly lose less MP on auto battles that doing those combos on random battles.
Chriss RE You could do that, but it would just make battles tedious and boring.
Frankly, you’d be better off playing on Easy Mode if you want to skip the non-boss battles
I'm going to honest. I completely disagree with his comments on the art style.

I personally do like the new art style, mainly due to its unique rendering, but the original art style definitely sells the tone of the game more.
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology.........the fact there is no 3d aspect to this game tells me that it will soon be ported to switch
Don't count on it. It was never meant to be 3D in the first place.
Plus, it was made to work with the DS 2-screen system.
Wow... I was lightly convinced to jump on board with this by someone else who hadn't played it before and picked it up, but the fact that this game even has DLC is really kind of killing it for me. It's a remake/remaster of an old game, and you can't just sell me a whole package without trying to nickel and dime me? And with what you said about the palate swaps being PAID DLC, that's actually pretty disgusting imo. Makes this feel like more of a cash grab as opposed to an excuse to get the game into more people's hands, which is something I would have been totally fine with, because honestly the game did deserve it. But man... considering I was at a "pretty shaky 'like it'" like you were with it being a remake... I'm kinda hoping I can take it back.
I'll just stick to the original...
(Short-haired Eruca is best Eruca)
Hello
Eruca whyyyyyyyyyyyyy what happened to your hair and your face in general???? You don't have to compete with Raynie for breast and long flowing hair! You look good with your short, curly hair, your crown more ornate, your orbs more round and defiant, and you actually look like you know how to handle your gun.
Just a correction, there is no dual audio in the game. Atlus continues to be lazy asses.
Maybe is a bad remake, because it is a port
Seems no reason to buy 3DS version.
Looking for more 3DS games containing time travel...
Combat looks meh. Characters also don’t look very good. Not sure how I feel about going back in time either. Do you get more party members than the 3 in this video? How’s the magic and skill variety? Environment/enemy and gear variety?
There's a total of 7.
You can only use 3 though.
Stocke's stats were all-around , and has mostly fire-based magic.
Raynie is your typical magic user , comes with big three.
Marco is one of the better support/healer unit.
Aht has a grid traps , elemental based traps that damages enemy when it stepped on the said grid.
Rosch is your tank , he's behind your level though.
Gafka is a monk , aka your fisticuffs master that deals as much damage as Stocke but has a dragging move like Marco.
Eruca is basically a reverse Stocke , she's a magic user like Raynie and Aht , but based on only one spells , ice based spells
Character portraits as DLC? GTFO!!! Still undecided whether to get this one. Thanks for the video guys.
Jonny Sorensen I hope you buy it. I just finished it and it is an awesome game!
It took me 50 hours to beat it and I was hooked the whole way through.

Yoshi Fan 2800 Fuuuukkkkk
Just like most/all ATLUS games, would have been much more enjoyable if some of the creators weren't perverts.
Lol. Dont see why. I find both Project X zone games much worse than this...and in that game its more funny than distracting.
Perverts exist in real life...so applying it isn't the worst alot of times in massive rpgs
so great game but..i dont like the dlc
I was really close to buying it.
But the Demo never bought me.
So I'm skipping it and waiting for The Alliance Alive
Is there a hentai waifu system?
The Hot Spring DLC can be done with any character.
As for the question, no there is not. Characters have established relationships.
What's a 3...D... S..? /s
Paid dlc tf?
I am looking forward to The Alliance Alive more next month.
When Google Chrome Sucks And You Use Microsoft Edge well you shouldnt, i can guarantee that that game wont be half as great as this one :)

This game drags on for a really long time and begins to be repetitive in some ways. You'll be begging for it to finish. It sure does feel like a DS era game, with some nice touches with voice acting. What I dislike is how easy it is to avoid enemies, so you're basically having to force yourself to battle purposely to gain exp. And you'll fight the same exact enemies throughout the whole game. I like the combo system and turn order swapping better than braving and defaultng from Bravely Default. You can actually create a combo without being an expert.
In order to play this game, you NEED A LOT of free time!! So good luck ever finishing it. I forgot to mention, the side quests are really repetitive and just involve you going to another time period to talk to someone, then go back to the other time to complete the quest. This game LOVES to do this and its annoying back tracking that I completely hate doing. What makes it worse is that you have to think about which time period will allow you to talk to that specific person so you may end up wasting your time searching the wrong time period. Unless you're using a guide, this is very tedious.
Story is excellent and so is the voice acting, but the music does repeat itself a lot throughout the game.
"It looks like average anime art style" exactly what I think my man, same witth Xenoblade 2s art style
Roghul_MR ya that's so true. I really miss the mix that x and the original had. Hopefully the next game will be better
Wow, on top of the worse art style and change to Eruka, you have to BUY the old art style? Come on, Atlus, you're better than this. I might not even pick this up since it doesn't seem to add much from the original.

*flips table* _(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻faaaaak thought this was for Switch. Should have read title slowly_
Generic "animu" redesigns. Ugly opening cinematic. Fanservice DLC.
Nope. Not buying this. I was happy that this game was getting some more recognition, but now I'm just disappointed.
If Radiant Historia ever gets a sequel, I wouldn't be surprised to see Waifu content and other fluff content. Maybe they'll even let us marry different girls across different timelines and create your own cross dimensional harem. yay.
Really kills the atmosphere. I'm sticking with the original. At least I wouldn't have to listen to or watch that OP.
Reminds me of how "animu" Xenoblade 2 were compared to 1 and X. But hey, it's mainstream for a reason unfortunately.
Nice to know how shallow you are.
Artwork, voice acting and story seems great.
But boy...that battle system is awful. That's the one thing that turned me off.
SolBuster the battle system is one of the best parts though... your kidding...
No Filter A Nintendo Podcast One of the best, hub?
You mean push every enemy to one spot and combo off of that every single match. Depending on the enemy position you are basically doing the exact same thing every time. I know someone here said the same thing. It gets old after a while.
And hitting enemies doesn't even feel good or satisfying. Everything else seems good but the fighting system just turned me off.
When you have a fighting system that heavily relies on a type of combo system to be the most effective, you are basically asked to do that combo every fight. And when it comes to just positioning enemies, well that's just boring and repetitive.
SolBuster that can be said about literally every single tuen based combat system in an rpg ever made. This one involved choosing the right moves to position characters appropriately, and swapping out turns to combo effectively. Not required but the most efficient way to proceed. What about persona 5? Find the weakness and attack with said weakness. Over, and over, and over again. However that requires you to memprize the enemies weakness, whereas this requires only what is occurring in that specific combat situation. Legitimately every tuen based rpg has that kind of reptitiveness. Bravely default, default a few times, then brave everyone to high combat damage. Over, and over again. Or in fact, just hit the fast fwd attack button. I could go on and on. So no i completely disagree that that is a bad thing. If anythinf it is good, because every combat has something different to deal with, new moves are required and a bit of a puzzle aspect is needed to place in the corrext spots.
Sure okay.
Scroll down a bit and read TheLonelyGoomba's post. I'm not the only one with the same opinion.
Why do Nintendo always release those kinds of games / remakes for a console that's at the end of its life cycle? I do have a 3DS but I'd much rather spend my money on a game for my Switch than for my 3DS at this point.... and so would many people, I assume :/
Vickqyttor the console is still making money and is not like is afecting the switch sales, also they probably started this before the switch was a thing.
Bakatora04 yeah, I thought so... the complaint was more like a "aw geez I wanna play that, just not enough to spend my cash on a console I've already left to collect dust and nothing more :/" than a critique on the company itself hahaha
Handheld titles should stay on Handheld systems.
I'm not going to carry an over-sized handheld consoles around.
The game was made for the DS, so it makes sense that Atlus would make the easy jump to 3DS. Not everything is meant to be on Switch.
No 3D, no buy.
Nobody cares about the 3D
It's a throwback to the ps1 era. There aint supposed to be any 3D.
waytodawn96 this game would have look great on 3D just like other 2D games do on 3ds
FerrariKangaroo yeah, not thrilled. I got the nice launch edition box, but also have the little CD box edition of the original. I guess it's on me for not checking for sure 1st, but the box has the 3D warning and a 3D 7+ tag, so I assumed it was good to go for 3D. Now I'm not so sure if I want it. New 3DS makes 3D essential in my opinion.
@Geoff Baumgartner So you have both? Would you say it's a worthwhile upgrade or should I stick with my NDS copy? I must say that even though the lack of 3D really irks me, I am tempted by the nice packaging of the launch edition box.
