Agree, though you can get lost (time and energy) in the side stuff.

If you're ready to devote a lot of time to the game then it's definitely worth it.

I liked the first one better. I guess that ends my non-existent career at GAF.

Repair powders aren't hard to find and if a weapon breaks you can just fix it later
P.S. A word of advice to anyone who plays it: Don't do the last dungeon, the one you unlock after you beat the game. There's NO REWARD FOR IT. I was under the impression that there would be another georama area once you found the mineral you were looking for.
NO DICE. Also I think you can't save after you beat the bonus dungeon, which I hate in any game.

I was more pissed with the amount of time I wasted on this game than the cash. It was fun at first. Once I figured out the mechanisms for item creation and weapon upgrades I lost all interest. The game became more of a chore than fun. Also the story was pathetic.
For $20 its worth a try.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
While the cell-shading is ok and such I thought the story and characters were really unlikeable and lame. That really kept me from finishing it. But a lot of people have different tolerances for that in mega-rpg type games.

Probably in my top 3 for this generation. Not for everyone apparently, but this game had everything but the kitchen sink and it really just came together for me. I liked the weapons upgrade, the spheda, the fishing, the item creations, the world building, and while the story was juevenile, it didn't bug me that much. And of course, Level 5 can do cel shaded great.

I should slightly rephrase. Under no circumstance will I look forward to one of their games; however, I reserve the right to play one down the line. But I'm not particularly interested in DQ8, and I don't know the first thing about Rogue Galaxy (or care to know, so don't tell me).

What? I didn't like DC2, so I don't hold L5 in high esteem. But if something is in the bargain bin, I might give it a look if I can't find anything else better to do. Check some reviews, some videos, and maybe buy it. If that game turns out allright, my opinion could change. It's no big deal. Otherwise, what I said is true. I'm not going to worry about following a Level 5 game because there's no reason for me to do so.

I never suggested they weren't talented. In fact, I'm sure they are. Otherwise, Microsoft wouldn't have tabbed them for TFLO, Square-Enix wouldn't have gotten them to do DQ8, and Sony wouldn't keep them around doing Rogue Galaxy (I assume it's a Sony title). It's just that I don't care. Again, it's no big deal, there are enough games to play without having to follow every single game that comes along. Or even every great game that comes along. Then again, I've never been one to post a hundred games whenever someone makes the "what games are you buying [insert timeframe/sale here]" thread.

DC2 was pretty good, but the random levels got a bit boring towards the end.

i got it for $5 and ended up selling it after about an hour of play because it just didn't interest me at all. Different strokes though, there's nothing really broken with it (as far as camera, control, framerate) that i could tell, so you might like it if jap rpgs are more your thing.
