Odin Sphere

[Necronopticous]

Game of the year, anyone else playing? What book are you on?

I want Princess Crown.

[Markus. D]

I like it!

^^~

The only element I dislike is the item management.

[Flying Mullet]

The reviews said that it's interesting and a fun game. I want to check it out.

[Karellen]

It kind of looked like a Tales game to me with better graphics but worse gameplay. Not being too great a fan of action RPGs to begin with, I think I'll give it a miss for now.

This I haven't played but I know of it. It seems good I saw gameplay footage, slight chance I could buy it if I'm not busy with other rpg's this summer and it is also good.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I've been interested. Since Necro recommended it, I'll probably have to go get it after a few paychecks.

[Zeromus_X]

I really want to play it sometime since it looks like Valkyrie Profile but with a much wider selection of main protaganists.

[Madame Adequate]

I want to get a hold of it, but it's not at the top of my list so my summertime poverty means I'm unlikely to be playing it until sometime around October.

I got it the day it came out and finished it pretty quickly. I loved it, it's one of my favorites already. It really deserves more love than it's getting. My favorite character was Oswald, but Velvet's book had the most interesting story.

And they really need to translate Princess Crown, but I doubt they will. Oh well, at least we got this and GrimGrimoire. That was a fun little game as well. Vanillaware really should make more games.

I have it but haven't gotten very far yet, mostly due to playing RE4 on the Wii and having video game ADD. I quite like the bit I've played, though. The art style is gorgeous.

[Maxico]

Well Princess Crown WAS ported to the PSP, which means it's region free, and there are a couple of translations floating the internet.

You could probably import it if you don't mind playing with a PC window open.

I'm on Fairy Land now.

Why do the sorcerers have to be so annoying?

Why does Mercedes have to be so adorable?

Odin sphere is one of the few games that has really caught my eye lately and i think i'll like it.

i cant find it on amazon and i have no idea when the u.k release is.

the graphics are some of the best i've seen in a game. not really the best but extremely effective and brimming with originality and coolness.

and for anyone who does own it. how much time will i probably end up playing it? I know there are 5 players each with their own story so how much on average does the game play for a single story take?

EDIT: wait a second. damn! is it being released in the UK? it was released a while ago for japan and north america.

There are five characters but seven books, each one is taking me about 10-11 hours with a bit of backtracking for exp, G, and items. I am only 25 hours in, so I can't say how long the game is, but if it keeps up at this pace should be 60+ at least.

I've had it for a while, but I'm still on the first book. I intend to play it more. I do enjoy it quite a bit when I play, but when I run out of space for items it gets a little annoying. Haven't quite got the hang of the Alchemy thing yet.
