Yeah, this LP has made me realize that while I love this game, its still kind of rough and clearly rushed. Makes me appreciate Covenant even more though because it such a huge improvement to the point where I think its one of the best JRPGs of all time.

Really Pants posted:How many JRPG villain sympathy arcs aren't completely ham-fisted as all hell, anyway? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are this game's sequel, Magus from Chrono Trigger, and Loewe from Trails in the Sky.

DiggleWrath posted:Or three crucifixes, honestly. Most of these fights sound infinitely harder, or at least more annoying, without status immunity. I bet the endgame would be just as challenging (if even more of a slog) if you went straight into the final dungeon without doing any sidequests except to get 3 crucifixes.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:The implication from Koudelka that the Judo-christian God is real in some form and at least somewhat benevolent (I mean, that God was willing to rapture the final boss and save the protagonists after James prayed hard enough and admitted that he had been acting like a douche) combined with the existence of a separate evil lovecraftian God in this game that Yuri is able to punch to death raises a lot of questions about the theology of the Shadow Hearts universe that are probably best left unanswered.

Yeah, the combat is real good, its just that the writing is weaker and it doesn't come together nearly as well as Covenant did.

Shadow Hearts was doomed no matter what because the publisher went all in with pachinko and stopped making games.

stryth posted:Hmm, that sounds familiar. It really sucks that Japanese game rights just tend to languish like that. At least with non-Japanese games they actually have a chance at coming back like Night Dive re-releasing old abandonware or THQ Nordic buying up the old dead IPs from last gen and making something of them now. Shadow Hearts is just screwed. Accordion Man fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Feb 15, 2019 |

Ubiquitous_ posted:In what way? It has a great soundtrack, improves upon the graphics of Covenant, and also improves the core gameplay. Accordion Man fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Feb 16, 2019 |

Malachite_Dragon posted:I've seen characters die in other games before, but for some reason Alice dying this way in the cutscene is particularly sad and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it's because she didn't even get to see home one last time, but at least she got to be with Yuri at the end. Alice just dies quietly in her sleep.
