Sorry turn-based purists, this one looks like an ARPG

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Have yet to play Edge of Eternity, so maybe now that they've announced the sequel, it's time to finally pick that one up. Anyway, cool trailer!

Why call Emi Evans a lyricist when she is a singer, and is singing a made hybrid of languages with no lyrics?

I haven’t tried it either. Reviews seem mixed but it does look really cool. Might give it a shot next time I’m looking for something to play.

I wish we'd all start putting action or turn based before saying RPG. I always skim the videos looking at which combat it uses.

I didn't give it a fair shot when it was on GP, but I bailed after less than an hour.

Why are all of these JRPG's almost exactly the freaking same? innovate people!!!

 

[Thief1987]

"JRPG" developed by french studio. Thanks, no

 

[adamsapple]

Nice.

I quite enjoyed Edge of Eternity, looking forward to this.

Looks like they went full cel-shaded/anime style with this one.

Pretty much sold as long as the combat looks good. From the trailer, it does.

Bought Edge of Eternity day one in early access but didn't play it much. Not a fan of grid combat, but I'm going to go back and give it another chance.

Oh nice, I played a bit when it was on GP & bought it on PS5. Time to fig in & get ready gor this. Really pretty world

MC for the first game looks like they averaged together every B-list JRPG protagonist from the 360/PS3 era.

Because it is an RPG made by a French studio check listing tropes found in JRPGs made by Japanese devs.

Well Clair Obscura is in April.

Don’t start with the definitions, you aren’t going to win on this one.

 

[Mr Hyde]

This looks way better than the first one, which had a somewhat generic look to it that turned me off. Gonna keep my eyes on this. Mitsuda in the mix as a composer immediately warrants interest from me.

That looks decent though I might be there day one.

I mean, I would play it, but labeling it for what it looks like is weird to me, kinda offsetting. It's a game and looks like anime so it is a JRPG (even if it is clearly western anime art lol or if it is not an RPG at all lol) that's how some people think.

 

[Fbh]

Was always curious about the original but I kept hearing the story was bad and the gameplay was janky and uninteresting.
Maybe they'll nail it this time. I'll keep an eye open for it but I'm not particularly hyped.

 

[fallingdove]

Why such a radical change to the art style? From pseudo realistic to dime a dozen cell shaded anime?

I didn’t particularly like Edge of Eternity. I really appreciate the effort, it’s hard to make rpgs but the game simply followed the tired Nomura Square RPG playbook.

 

[Roberts]

First one didn’t work for me at all. Played it for nearly ten hours, desperately trying to find something in it to reel me in but it wasn’t meant to be. But then again, not really a fan of games it was inspired from so what do I know.

 

[StereoVsn]

Because it is an RPG made by a French studio check listing tropes found in JRPGs made by Japanese devs.

The first game was ok, but I kind of dropped it after a few hours. It just didn’t draw me in.

 

[Sooner]

I'll have to see reviews, but I'm not expecting thos to be very good based on thier previous attempt.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Looks good.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Looking good

As someone who got it on sale. Its trash.

Western made weeb bait. These games always capture the aesthetic of JRPGs without the substance.

Yeah, no. Hard pass.

Yeah, no. Hard pass.

Yikes.......good 3D model need match 2D art.

Hopefully they keep working with Saito.

You will need to make a pretty character then. It's forbidden in western slop

In this case I dont think it has anything to do if the character is "pretty" or not....this just tells me the devs didn't actually work with 2D artist and just asked the artist to do the cover art.
