Oh, I didn't even know there was a third game.

*goes to research*

[Serra Britt]

One of my friends on Facebook is playing it and I keep seeing trophy notifications >> I don't know much about it but I can't imagine not liking it, I even liked the second one despite having to play around the game bugs :p

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Just read some reviews. Don't think I'll be getting it. It sounds like they took nearly everything I liked about the first one and replaced it silly innuendo and a new battle system that involves "purging" your Reyvateil of her clothing in battle to increase her power. :|

[Serra Britt]

So in other words I'll probably like it a lot >> But unless I'm missing something, I wasn't aware clothing stopped Reyvateil magic. That's a really wierd sounding game mechanic.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Make that: "replacing the occasional descent into innuendo of the first game with near-constant in-your-face innuendo" but, hey, if you like that sort of things, guess it isn't a negative. The review I read made a pretty big deal out of it, is all.

And I'm not sure "weird" is the word I would use for that mechanic. More like... juvenile.

[Serra Britt]

Playing a game full of innuendo might tire even me out, but I'm a big perv...so yea that's not a negative to me.

"Juvenile" does fit better. I mean, yea, sure I'd like to see the Reyvateils with less clothes. (Even though I would be closer to a Reyvateil than a protector when it comes to personality.) But having it happen during battle? That sounds like a method to get more people to buy the game without thinking of the implications >>

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Well, don't take my word for it, that's just the impression I got. It sounded like they gave up what little seriousness there was to the story for the chance at extra innuendo.

If you do end up playing it, let me know, though.

[Serra Britt]

It's on the as of yet unwritten list. It's getting to be a pretty long list, I think I should actually write it down. Remind me when I go back home and I'm on my own computer xD

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I was wondering how long you could keep that list going in your head...

[Serra Britt]

Oh I'm sure I'm going to forget some of them and just have to add them later :P It's a really long list...

[Serra Britt]

My roommate has been playing Grimgrimoire on the PS2 lately. Have you played any of the Vanillaware games?

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I don't think so. I remember checking that out when it first came out, but something else must have caught my interest more, because I never got around to buying it.

What else did they make?

[Serra Britt]

Odin's Sphere and Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Both excellent side scroller action games with absolutely gorgeous artwork as long as you ignore the characters with the "way too big boobs".

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Heard of Odin Sphere, wanted to play that, too. Never heard of Muramasa.

[Serra Britt]

Muramasa was on the Wii, but the gameplay style was very much like Odin Sphere's. I didn't play it long enough to see how much difference there was between the two characters, and now my Wii is gone so I can't right now. Odin Sphere had 5 characters and they all played differently, so even if they fought the same boss it was a completely different battle each time. It was sch a wonderful game...I wish I still had it T.T

Edit: So it sounds like you never played Dragon Force, it was a...very unique game.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Alas, no, I believe that was slightly before more time. Or just a result of me not having a Sega.
