Wow, I guess no one had anything to say about those last few games.

Well then to the next set!

Lets try this again!!

108. Luminous Arc (DS)
      A fun little SRPG that can be found on the DS, to date there have been three titles launched. Having only played the first one, I can’t comment on the others, but this is a good game if you like the Genre.

      Complete with a large cast of characters, they go the route of each character having a class unique to them. You get plenty of variety in your cast to make the lack of individual character customization forgivable, since character customization is typically a staple of the genre.

      The story is pretty full of typical anime tropes, but regardless there is a fun story and cast building through out the game. So if you have a DS and enjoy a good SRPG, you can’t really go wrong with this title.


107. Legend of Legaia ‬2 (‬PS2)
      The follow up to Legend of Legaia, it’s a solid enough game. While I hoped for more out of a sequal to Legaia, there’s no real problems with this title. Gameplay, story, and characters are all solid, and it actually does a bit to make your magic a bit more useful then the last.

      It keeps up the combo system of the previous game, giving you a vairety of attacks. Though there will be stretches of the game you’ll discover your best combo’s, and gameplay becomes pretty repetative for chunks at a time. Still though, stringing the combo’s together is fun, and the story keeps you intrigued enough.


106. Star Oceaon: The Last Hope (PS3/360)
      I’ll be honest, the only other Star Ocean game I’ve played is 1, and I couldn’t really get into it, and stopped playing after a couple hours. As such, this will be the only Star Ocean game appearing on my list. And since this game got quite a bit of flack from fans of the series, I expect a few funny looks for this one.

      To begin, I don’t dislike Lymle as much as other people. I do find it odd though people complain about her constant ‘M’Kay’s”, yet no one seemed to be bothered by Myuria’s constantly calling you ‘Boy’ with this really awkward and annoying emphasis on the word. Bothered me a lot more then the ‘M’Kay’s’ ever did.

      The story is basically two different stories. The events involving the Cult on Roak, and the rest of the game. Now I’m a bit bothered by the massive disconnect with the two plots, as it seems as if the Roak events should have had a real impact on the plot, but they take up a lot of time and really don’t effect the rest of the game. That said, both plots are fine. Nothing great, but nothing infurating.

      The game has a lot of pretty enviroments to keep you happy through the games run time, without any particularly bad looking enviroments, and a couple that are very good. It’s also got some pretty solid character designs as well.

      The cast, while mostly mediocre, has a couple really fun characters. I really enjoyed the Meracle and Serah comedy relief, and Serah’s Monotone and inabilit to gauge the importance of any situation is always good for a laugh. Myuria is really the only character that bothers me.

      Mostly the game is carried by a fun and fast paced combat system. Blind Sides and Rushes were very fun, and there are plenty of party combinations to give you combat options.

       So long as you don’t go in planning on taking the story to seriously, it’s an enjoyable rid.
