Damn, I'd like to have this one for real, I'm glad already that the game is coming to Europe

 

[Sc4rFac3d]

I have the Japan version lying here, and that one sucked for real.. :'(

Maybe this one is a bit better... Gonna try it out.

 

[WeaponXxX]

Before I flash it then why did it suck?

Some quotes from IGN's review:

Also, towns are not labeled if they aren't in the immediate vicinity, so traveling long distances can be confusing.

There is a run function, but using it drains a player's health even in town when there are no enemies present. This penalty is supposed to keep players from completely avoiding combat, but it also forces them to slog through environments at a grueling pace.

Virtue mode allows players to collect experience points through combat and is the only way to level-up your team.

The second way to enter battle is in combat mode, which is solely dedicated to collecting goods for sale at Gads Express. This is also the only way to make money.

If money were also rewarded at the end of a battle or if items were inexpensive, I wouldn't have a problem with this system. However the weapons, armor, and tools in Lunar are pricey and have a tendency to break. This puts Gads Express at the forefront of the game, and forces players to engage in an assortment of mindless fetch quests.

Because players cannot select their targets, battles have a very structured "tit for tat" feel. An "auto fight" option is available and after a few hours with Dragon Song gamers will find themselves using it regularly.

Yelling into the microphone causes a player to escape from a battle but this adds very little to the RPG experience.

Dragon Song features a bundle of original ideas, but fails to implement them in a fashion that stays entertaining throughout the course of the game.

And of course the running part that drops your HP. :/

 

[WeaponXxX]

Wow that's a shame I was looking forward to this =(

 

[m_babble]

Does this work with M3?

 

[rkenshin]

Yes it works with M3

I think I'll try out this mediocre game until Castlevania DoS comes in the mail. (Pre-ordered).

Hopefully future RPG developers for the DS learn from this game's mistakes.

Anyone who has problems with this game seriously needs to rethink their tastes.

This game really is trash. I kinda liked 'some' of the music...and the graphics (outside of battle) aren't half bad....but really...the gameplay is horendous. I want to know how this one got past the planning stages. Regardless...many people will buy this as Lunar fans...but I'm a Lunar fan and this title pisses me off.

I wish they'd stay true to Lunar 2 battle... Or atleast make it similar to it... and all gameplay similar to lunar 2 too. too bad the developers seems to have grown bad at making games.
