And the loading. Those are the 2 things people have complained most aboutError said:sp0rsk how's the slowdown in the game? some people are making a big deal about it.

sp0rsk said:Now that I'm done with ouendan 2 I can give you guys some brief impressions.
1. Yes HD loader works.
2. This game is fully voiced. If a character says it, no matter how minor, he has a voice.
3. The music, voice acting and everything AV about this game is perfect.
4. Main character is awesome. Fans of VP will probably like her. I.E. Dragona
5. You can select your difficulty at the very beginning of the game, 1 star up to 3, I picked 2, it is rather difficult. You're gonna be healing a lot.
6. Combat is frantic, but sometimes I wish I could cancel an attack for the guard, but I guess thats why they make healing so important.
7. Your own magic can damage you.
8. Gliding around is fun
9. I wish I could check the map outside of exit marks
10. This game rocks. All hail Vanillaware.
You can!sp0rsk said:9. I wish I could check the map outside of exit marks

Man, the second boss fight is intense. I finished it with 4HP left.
I've already wasted two mulberry seeds, unfortunately, by planting in areas with no phozon. Oops. You shouldn't do that... they need phozon to grow. I picked one star because I'm a pussy - it's still quite hard like this. God that boss was huge, and when it starts running across the map... :O
Even without HD loader, the load times don't really annoy at all. They're so quick so far. And yeah, I'm playing on the PS3 - maybe that's why loading is fast? I miss the rumble though.

I thought they were just talking about the music? From what I've heard, so far, it sounds very much like Vagrant Story.Rekki-Maru said:more impressions please.
I own vagrant story, in the 1up review i think someone said it felt kinda like that game, does it?
Where do I know you from? EDIT: Ahaha, oh my god! VGM-Central!strwrsxprt said:Just noticed the first online review pop up on metacritic. Game Almighty gave it an 8.8 and I guess a couple of their awards:

No, it's not even close.Seraph830 said:This game is verbatim like Ragnarok Battle Offline.

thats a joke right?Jonnyram said:No, it's not even close.

OK, there is an action element, but that is where the comparison ends. You do know what "verbatim" means, right?Seraph830 said:thats a joke right?

Excuse me, but you're the clown who came into this topic saying it's a verbatim copy. It's not... it plays nothing like it. You don't just hack, hack, hack. You'll die straight away on easy level if that's all you're doing. Odin Sphere is all about items. I also thought the same as you about the animation when watching preview videos, but in the flesh it is far, far smoother. But what makes it stand out further is its story. There are five characters, each with their own scenario, and all scenarios intertwine with and complement each other.Seraph830 said:They have differences yes, but I really dont think im "not even close" when making the comparison. RBO was the first thing i thought when i saw OS, and considering how sweet RBO is, i cant wait to play OS.

I thought they were developing Grimgrimoire--which is coming out in the summer.Kintaro said:I heard Vanillaware is shutting down actually. Just too much to bare. The game has been slammed left and right, and no one gives a shit. 2D is truly dead.
fresh from gamefaqs are we?TrueReligion said:I thought they were developing Grimgrimoire--which is coming out in the summer.
so now im "not even close" when comparing the two because Odin Sphere has items and storyline.Jonnyram said:it plays nothing like it. You don't just hack, hack, hack.

Ouch. That's cold.Jonnyram said:The fact that you had the balls to use the word "verbatim" is what gave your post the ultimate shit-stained gloss.
Sorry for snapping. You said verbatim. That means exact copy, and I replied that it's not even close (to being an exact copy). Things imploded from there, I lost my rag. No harm done. Don't worry about itSeraph830 said:Seriously settle down. I didnt say OS copied RBO. I didnt say OS is going to suck by any means. No need to get insulting and jump all over me.

Nce!duckroll said:Okay, I played a little. It's great. Blahblahblah, no point repeating impressions... BUT.... I think Game Informer needs a new PS2. The loading that we saw in their videos? I get about 1/3 that on my -launch JP PS2- so something must be horribly wrong with theirs, or the preview built was screwed up. The loading is literally like 2-3 seconds tops, maybe 5 seconds for a major scene with tons of characters. Really surprising especially after watching those videos.
If the preview build was on a CDR, it's easy for it to have longer load times just on the way it was burned. You can't judge something like that on anything but a pressed copy.duckroll said:Okay, I played a little. It's great. Blahblahblah, no point repeating impressions... BUT....

You are taken back to an area on the current map, retaining your stats, and without the items you just used. It's pretty friendly in that way. Also, you can save anywhere, pretty much, and if you save in a place that's hard to get out of, you can revert back to a safe area, with a menu option.CO_Andy said:So what happens after you're game over?
Seraph830 said:so now im "not even close" when comparing the two because Odin Sphere has items and storyline.
Sorry looks exactly like the hack hack hack gameplay of RBO, with the addition of an item use every now and then and a cutscene between stages. RBO's gameplay looks exactly like princess crown if that makes you feel any better.
way to take my "verbatim" statement so serious. it was just my way to describe a game that has the exact same sprite technique, combat style and stage setup as a game I knew.
Seriously settle down. I didnt say OS copied RBO. I didnt say OS is going to suck by any means. No need to get insulting and jump all over me.
