@@Marvin-nh8dr I mean it is, there is 234883 existing anime series like it. Which is why it's good it's a game, that way they can give depth to the story, world and characters in a way an anime never could. No really, even with hundreds of episodes they wouldn't be able to do it cause SOMETHING needs to happen every episode whereas in the game... Well let's just say exploring one area in the city + 1 friendship episode can already take 20 minutes and nothing really happens but dialogue. Which I like but it wouldn't be suited for the anime format. This might not be the most original story out there, but by the intermission of the game (so about halfway through) they already had me caring so much for these characters that that hardly mattered. So I am glad it's not an anime, where it would get buried, but a game.
Over Christmas, I got Trails in the Sky, Ys I & II, and Tokyo Xanadu ❤️ Very excited for all of them. I loved CS I and II, and I'm loving Sky and TX very much. Haven't started Ys yet.
Such a good game! Generic in many, many points, but by being more generic and not taking many risks with gameplay elements that might not work, it became a full package that can be called "non-generic" just because there are such little games that just work so well from start to finish!
My wanted dubbing choices if this game had a dub. Kou: Kyle McCarley Shiori: Xanthe Huynh Asuka: Cherami Leigh Ryouta: Max Mittelman Jun: Zach Aguilar Chiaki: Erin Fitzgerald Sora: Cassandra Lee Morris Yuuki: Bryce Papenbrook Aoi: Kira Buckland Towa: Megan Taylor Harvey Shio: Austin Lee Matthews Sosuke: Kirk Thornton Seijyuuro: Richard Epcar Gorou: Ian Sinclair Rion: Kayli Mills Mitsuki: Erika Harlacher Mikiyura: Todd Haberkorn Yukino: Allegra Clark, or Carrie Keranen As for the other SPiKA members, Cristina Vee, Christine Cabanos, Brianna Knickerbocker, and Eden Riegel.
The one thing I don’t like about this opening, is that it doesn’t change. You’re still seeing the Witch of the Mist as the ultimate bad guy even when you’re fighting the Angel of Despair, a Grim Greed far above her in power. It’s still incredibly good, I just wish they’d have edited the animation as it went from chapter to chapter.
I love this game! Between Nihon Falcom and Atlus. I would have to chose Falcom because they appeal to a bigger audience when releasing their games on multi-platform while Atlus sticks to releasing their games only on one platform. I'm still waiting on SMT V and P5R but I just think Atlus could reach a bigger audience if they released their games on other platforms. With what happened with Catherine releasing Full Body and then Classic on PC, I think Persona 5 will follow suit and release a Persona 5 Classic on PC.
Hmmm that's only semi true tho. Most Falcom games originally released only on Playstation platforms, and even re-releases are often only on newer Playstation platforms. The reason we get PC and Switch ports is because the Western publisher is funding ports of the Playstation versions. All Falcom does for those versions is provide the code.
Plus, Falcom are willing to vary the boss music as opposed to Persona which only has "Blooming Villain", "Rivers in the Desert", and "Will power" (Not including Yaldabaoth, Our Beginning, Keep Your Faith or Throw Your Mask Away, since the latter 2 are exclusive to P5R, and the first 2 were the final boss)
I wonder if "Another Xanadu" would be just another game in the Xanadu series that isn't connected to Tokyo Xanadu or if it would be a sequel to Tokyo Xanadu
@@gwydionyu8769 they used to make it that the protagonist had a different card that wasn't the fool with persona 1 it was emperor and 2 it was sun tho the rest is well fool
@@Phantom_Gabriel That's why it's a shame that they went with the fool on every other MC of Persona, imagine the lore possibilities if each of the MC's had different tarot cards. I guess we'll have to wait and see if in Persona 6 they'll use the same plot as before, transfer student, blackmail, etc... Hopefully not.
@@gwydionyu8769 yeah they made it the fool as it the fool's journey (tho 3 games in a row with the transfer student is getting a bit samey) tho with blackmail only persona 5 rilly did that
@@Phantom_Gabriel Oh i know the blackmail happened only to Joker, i just would like to express that the whole blackmail thing is probably going to be introduced in future persona games, meanwhile since we started to talk about the Persona MC's... Let's just admit that Joker is the only one that resembles close to The Fool (even though if we want to be annoyingly precise, he's more resembling to The Devil or Judgment), Minato Arisato is more inclined to The Moon, and Yu Narukami to The Star. So here's hoping that Persona 6 actually resembles the actual card they're 'given', also hoping it's not an over-optimistic one, we had those for two games now, it would be a good time to spice it up.
Played this game years ago and loved it. Finished it today and only now found out there's an additional chapter past the true ending. God I love games like this
Je suis tellement fan des jeux Nihon Falcom. Dommage que celui ci n'a pas eu la chance d'avoir sa traduction Française. Merci pour Ys VIII et TOCS 3. I am such a fan of Nihon Falcom games. Too bad this one didn't have the chance to have his French translation. Thanks for Ys VIII and TOCS 3.
J’étais déçu quand j’ai appris que CSIV n’avait pas été traduit en français. La traduction de CSIII était excellente et apportait quelque chose de plus. Je me rappelle bien comment j’étais terrassé en entendant Juna tutoie Cédric sur le toit (alors que tout le monde était déjà si tendu). J’ignore comment ça se déroulait en japonais, mais une telle nuance n’est simplement pas possible en anglais.
@@misterpayah7723 Le jeu a été localisé du Japonais vers le Français en plus par Nicolas Pujol et son équipe. Ils sont excellents dans leurs taff. Le prochain jeux localisé par eux sera Yurukill. A soutenir absolument. Ils ont fait la trad de Ys9 et World End Club aussi. En plus de tout les Disgaea 🥰
@@Nicolas-mw4mx J’ignorais ! J’ai pourtant noté que la traduction française ne correspondait pas toujours au doublage, je me suis douté qu’il était localisé directement du japonais. C’est le meilleur type de traduction car le plus fidèle, chapeau à M. Pujol et l’équipe. Dommage pour les autres jeux de Falcom, c’est dur parfois d’être fan des titres de niche.
@@misterpayah7723 Oui c'est pour ça qu'il faut soutenir les Ys et bientôt Yurukill. Et oui si c'est pas pareil que les doublages anglais c'est normal 😉
...and it has a large focus on spending your free time. And it has what might as well be social links. And it takes place in a similar time period. And it has social stats (wisdom, bravery, kindness), and it focuses on a team of high-school students one by one discovering their powers and their ability to enter another world somewhat based on human emotions--which normal people don't know about--in order to fight monsters. Don't get me wrong both games do their own thing and are great for their own reasons, but "high-school setting" is certainly not the only thing this has in common with Persona.
@@eloisequinn3844 Still, Xanadu is Falcom and Persona is (as far as I remember) Shin Megami Tensei. The writing style is quite different, even though they share things in common when it comes to the setting.
@@walktroughman1952 Sure, but they still do share quite a bit conceptually and there's certainly ample reason to compare the two regardless, besides just "School setting".
I just got this today and haven't had much chance to play it but from what I can gather it's done a lot like persona with the whole school setup and job's and the like just with a YS style of gameplay...at least from how it was talking about it, haven't seen combat yet, looking forward to it though dood. :3
@@walktroughman1952 Conceptually it's built on Ys and Cold Steel. The reason has Free Times and a loose schedule of 3-4 days per chapter is actually 100% because of Cold Steel.
I like when a game has a world where supernatural things happen. I just hope when my game is coming that the mysterious Situation is caused by a supernatural entity and not like in persona 5 just a Person who is mentally ill.
Simon L If you're talking about Sen no Kiseki 1 and 2, yes I have. Doesn't change the fact that I still want my grubby hands on this one. :P And since we're getting the two Kiseki-games (THANK YOU, XSEED), only thing left to do is to buy them when they release. :D
@@kamigakari331 I'd say that about the entire game tbh. The first part was so cliche and boring af that I considered dropping the game more times than I can count (I'm glad I didn't though). After the middle point the story gets interesting, and even some of the characters get better. It's a good game, but holy hell was the beginning painful.
The opening section is atrocious. Let's just call that spade a spade. It does pick up, both in terms of story and gameplay, later on. And wait until you find out who White Shroud really is... Persona 5 comparisons are unavoidable with this game, so: At least with P5, you get an in medias res opening sequence that raises a whole lot of plot questions, followed by a whole bunch of training sequences that ensure that you can handle the basics. TXEx+ doesn't raise nearly as many questions up front, and combat tutorials err on the side of minimalism. That is, however, balanced out by a less brooding atmosphere, and a couple of certifiable surprise laughs. If it were a multi-course meal, TXEx+ would definitely be a case of an increasingly confident feast, after an uncertain appetizer. I own both this and P5R, and I like both games for different reasons.
