Gambia, The
man the voice acting...forget it...i´m also disappointed that the story line isn´t the same like in the anime...i think they should have explained the beasts control the human thing straight from the beginning...and I can´t understand why they tell you that kyrie is the destructo after one hour gameplay...that really pisses me off...I´m sure that everyone who watched the anime can understand my feelings about the story...the battlesystem seems interesting and the graphics(in the battles) amazed me...first game after chrono trigger which keeps me turning on my ds not for listen to music...

The Fighting is fun (More animation than Pokemon)
only the video's (not really videos) are to long and as KevInChester Said
there is a pause between the talking in the video so that is making
the video's longer. Played 1 hour and I'm now in the ship (not the green guy's one)
It's great story but the video things are to long ^^

CycloDS v1.56 BETA 4 works 100% ok so far.
Played for 3 hr's and looking for Blue Rose now.
Nice bosses, Piggus Rex was fun though he had ~3000HP (!)

Environs are beautiful reminiscent of Baldurs Gate, v.nice 2D isometric grafix.
Music good as well, lot of customisation for chars.

Negatives are too much on rails, cut-scenes go on too long, voice acting is poor, why not keep JPN voices and just sub-title ?

Nice game but not great DQ9 is still much better and even FF4 is better

Got around to playing this game when I was in less pain, it's not bad.
Not the best game I ever played (that award goes to Portal), but not as bad as I as I said it was when I hurting.

You seriously don't know what Portal is? It's part of The Orange Box.

This is World Destruction yes?

Yeah. There's some changes in it though, I think they made some small tweaks to the battle system so it couldn't be abused or something. I never played the Japanese version, though.

Great battle system (i assume everyone knows about pressing L to access the other attacks)


You can do that???
I was wondering how to do all those other attacks which I saw in the customize menu.........
Thanks!


EDIT:It seems I too have the sound problem.

Because that would be a very unprofessional thing for a localization group to do. Even though there are people on the internet that like Japanese voices, people IRL would be putoff by voice overs in a language that they don't understand. Plus scenes where characters learn Quips would turn out weird.

I don't think they're alternate attacks, I think they just show the affects of your attacks. When if you have a skill that can cause Numb then it'll show up as "Numb" when you hold L. And for attacks, if it deals Slashing damage, it'll show up as "Slash". That's what I thought.

Great way to get a Fabuloso Weapon Early on
smile.gif


So I was embuing my weapons when I found I have 11 AGL's
Okay lets see what these do, hmmm, increase EVP, stick on Destructor boy.
So I see the screen 'good match between this weapon and element'
smile.gif

Wow! Get a Bonus add (!) So for 1 AGL I get +1 Bonus AGL
biggrin.gif
every few embues.

And then after 7-8 embues I see AGL+10 ---> AGL 10% (?!)
Wait a mo! My Combat Knife has just mutated to a Crewel Knife like +30 ATK better (!!)
Yippee! Destructor Boy goes from weakest attacker to best attacker with HUGE evasion

:)
Also try VIT & STR 10 embues to see what ace high-level weapons you get early on

Don't know what you're talking about. Layton had one of the best voice acting of all the DS games. It's good enough to be anime in my opinion.
Agreed.

Professor Layton's voice acting was great!

I'd have to say it was... But I deleted the game because the anime style seen in the opening wasn't a whole game thing, and there wasn't voice acting all the time, either..... So I wouldn't be able to agree, actually.

I usually don't play RPG's, (Other then Pokemon) but this one seemed pretty popular. So far it works on Supercard DSonei perfectly, faced a few monsters, saved. So far its like every RPG I've tried.

You obviously haven't tried many RPGs, then. It's got a rather unique battle system than most boring, streamlined RPGs.

Yeah I noticed the battle system was different, not like my usual Pokemon, and Final Fantasy. Somethings I do love about this game though it the Camera, and a bit of the battle system, since its kind of like a mix of normal turn based attacks, but hit the right button and get a combo like Kingdom Hearts.

I don't if its just me or not but once and while everytime I save, the music/sound goes out of whack and then it freezes.

Don't know why this happens

Otherwise, it is a really good game, takes a bit to get used to the battle system but no problem

I deleted the game because when you have to use Gamefaqs for all of the puzzles you probably shouldn't be playing the game.
