Resonance of Fate (PS4/PC) rated by the German classification board (USK)
- Thread starter Chairmanchuck (另一个我)
- Start date
I tried to start this game twice, stopped for various reasons each time.
Will probably give it a third try if it comes out on PS4.

Don't know about anyone calling it a masterpiece, but it's a fun game with a fun cast of characters who you can dress to look awesome as they do flips in the air and shit to kill weird enemies. It's got a convoluted gun upgrade system and it's got a lot of ugly muted colors and I couldn't tell you one thing about what the story is about, it's the only jrpg other than chrono cross that gets me excited when people talk about a remaster and I would gladly pay 30 bucks to play it again. I mean, I just watched a mundane ass youtube video of combat with some rando enemies and it got me hyped as hell, I can't wait.
It didn't help that it released a week after freaking ff13 and the same week as GoW3, it's release date was pretty awful and it got buried.
I think it's closer to XCOM rather than a shooter which also has cover and emphasizes on different terrain / elevation to effectiveness on attack advantage and defending against enemy gunfire.
the combat animations are sick
Can't wait for high-quality gifs from 4K resolution feed
This is so accurate...
is this the game that was largely disconnected stories with little character development but cool combat?
dificulty spikes are insane. When playing on my own I seldon complain out loud, but this game got nasty with its bossfights, all of the first ones.
I do also know characters and setting is where this game mostly shines, but it's not fun to play so that kind of destroys anything else for me
no disconnected stories. Cool looking combat but as complicated as learning a new language? Yes. Also one of the worst difficulty spikes I've ever played.
Makes FF X's difficulty spikes look pretty tame in comparison (Seymour!!!)
There's a lot of slice of life chapters. You mostly follow a group of people doing their things, but there is a central thread slowly unveiling.
It doesn't hold your hand at ALL, so you have to pick up on cues. The *second* opening cutscene is mandatory to watch to catch up on some things happening too.
It's dealing with themes like existentialism and boredom and the way they are conveyed works with the storytelling style of Resonance of Fate. It's a moodier, more introspective work rather than the full-blown JRPG drama the genre is known for.
My rules for this game are as follows:
1. Zephyr must always be wearing sunglasses.
2. That's it.

Yea, I did that...not gonna lie, it got super tedious because of the arena requirements. Doing each rank 10 TIMES AND THERE IS 50 RANKS.
Not wrong at all.
I'm a little surprised no one's mention that this is one of the few non-Mario titles featuring the voice of Charles Martinet, who does quite an impressive job in his role.
The game's combat system rewards you for proper positioning of your allies during attacks to maximize damage output etc.
is it limited to positions on the ground or we can command them to fly/jump while attacking?
You can jump while attacking. Hell, that's the coolest part, lol.
This is so accurate.
Damn good a remaster is coming. I was planning to do a new playthrough. Hopefully they can announce a RoF2.
I remember myself 100% the game on 360 lol
The game is not bad, but arena is tedious (and easy) as heck.
Younger me was stupid enough to stick it out. Current me knows better. Probably. Hopefully. This was one freaking hard plat, too, with the postgame psychodungeon theme park area required if I recall. Oh, and every variant of the battle arena. Probably wasted 20+ hours trying to make fashionable costumes though, ugh.
You're rewarded differently for attacking airborne enemies depending on whether you're juggling them (from the ground) or ground-bouncing them (from the air). A big part of RoF's combat is maximizing your time on each hero attack - This usually consists of an initial attack toward the enemy to break their defensive barriers and to knock them airborne and then a followup attack or attacks that end with a jump made near the end of your run to keep the time for your attack charge to reach its apex before unleashing your final blow. ... I think. It's been a while.
Yea, if you don't know where you're going or at least plan well, that Neverland is a pain, even with maxed out stats. Golden guns and fashion pieces are worth it though.
I got Nier instead of this. I regret nothing. I will definitely buy this if there is a graphical upgrade. 4k on Pro would be insta-buy. Any word on upgrades from the original?
