    It reviewed well and was well received in Japan, like nearly all the games in the series, it had the highest first week sales of the series in recent times as well.

    NISA still have 10% of their stock available for the CE if you are interested. Costs about €100 plus shipping, would adive using Parcel Motel as their shipping is expensive.

    It's such a shame nearly all mainstream game sites flat out ignore Atelier. For me they are one of the best RPG series at the moment.

    I have always found the games more of an experience, they are great to unwind and relax with, never got how most reviewers always found them boring and bland, when they get excited over games vastly more derivative and unengaging.

    Yeah they are light hearted feel good romps but I also feel they are quite well written with some exceptional female leads. They also don't outstay their welcome coming in at 20-30 hours with minimum padding to waste the players time. Also the focus on item fusion is rather unique. Rather than being an ignored system in the game it's totally the focus of the game and usually carried out in a very intuitive and non intimidating way.

    Yet Ni No Kuni gets praised as the saviour of the genre and covered by every publication. Now there is a game that defines boring and bland.

    I'm even more annoyed that sites ignored Nights of Azure and doubly so for every moron who complained that "Yoru no nai kuni" wasnt a Ni No Kuni game

    I pretty much gave up on Atelier and Game journos when they described Mana Khemia as a lighthearted fluffy high school slice of life game that never develops into a serious story

    A couple of older NISA published ATLUS titles have gotten permanent discounts on the e-shop. Etrian Odyssey IV and untold are a tenner each and Soul Hackers and Persona Q have also been discounted

    Guys Tales of Vesperia worth my time ? On sale for peanuts on xbox this week. Am I right in thinking it's not turn based? Combat looks odd when I was checking videos of it there, I mean you hit an counter like a typical jrpg and you go to a battlefield but the character seems to have free movement and attacks and the party seem pre set up or have roles assigned to them?

    Yes I loved it, you control you main character and the rest are A.I controlled.

    Tales plays more like a scrolling best em up than a JRPG. Definitely not turn based.

    Tabata being very frank here about FF15 and how the series is viewed by fans and developers at SE.

    http://kotaku.com/final-fantasy-disease-infected-square-enix-says-ffxv-1778147458

    I really think the game is in very good hands and Tabata has a knack for rescuing disaster projects at SE.

    Gods Eater Burst is an update to the first game with new content.

    Resurrection is a remake of the first game with gameplay refinements from Gods Eater 2 Rage burst.

    Gods Eater 2 is the sequel and that also has an update in Rage Burst which is the version that's coming to the west.

    So with 2 (Rage burst) and Ressurection you are pretty much getting the definitive editions of the series.

    Didn't realise they were coming to Windows. I heard they were great MH style games.

    God Eater is a good bit different to MH, yes they both have the same premise, but God Eater has an actual story to it and fun characters, story missions, faster gameplay and a cool customisation system.

    While it is still a great game it has less monster variations, most are palette swaps and it is not as difficult or rewarding as Monster Hunter, plus a lot more grinding and a really poor crafting system.

    I imagine he can crack the whip well :D

    Probably the most needed statement around final fantasy in years though, and I totally agree with him.

    Thats pretty precarious. Glad to see it was still there upon your return.
