Hmmm........ after a stellar start, PS4 sales in Japan have slowed down considerably.

Can ya blame 'em? Only games for PS4 are Final Fantasy XIV and Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes Need some games for them to play first. Doubt the PS4 will do PS3 numbers in the end though. Handhelds seem to be taking over the market.

Oh c'mon, wasn't that bad. By chance did ya play the Japanese? We had to turn the Japanese off since it's hard to endure shrill pitches that high for hours and hours. Then we were able to enjoy playing the game enough.

The Gust line-up of games is aimed mainly at men, but like most of these games they attract a large female player base.

Guys can love the cute girls,

If ya feel like a creep for playing games featuring girls that might say more about the person than the game

No it's an awful game.

It's the only jrpg I've played that willingly makes it's battle system worse as the game goes on. That actually takes away ok elements of the system as the game goes. Not expanding, but actually limiting the battle system all for the worse. It dosen't matter, because it's piss easy and offers no real interesting mechanics in character progression or weapon crafting.

The characters are all awful. The story was one of the most terribly written this gen. Character motivations would be spouted in nonsensical ways and would come out of nowhere with no actual build up. The bow girl says she likes the swordsmen dude in a cutscene, but it's random and is never followed up again. The script wallows in boring melodrama as it constantly keeps bringing up the same stuff over and over again. It will bring up revelations that it thinks you should care about, but it's about characters you don't know or they have no development beforehand. The villains and the reason for the conflict in the game are all hilarious. It all could have worked if it went for a subtle and whimsical tale, but this game has no energy for that. It's slow and plodding as it constantly overstates every little thing.

The cutscene direction is awful. It's boring and sterile as it with no energy just pans on characters talking in the most un-natural ways.

One of the worst cutscenes in a big budget jrpg. You don't even know Claves but the game for some reason thinks you should care about a character you've known for maybe 30 mins. And the flashbacks to things that happen in the very same cutscene is just so poor.

No, Eternal Sonata is not a great game. It is awful. I'm sorry that for some of you the only standards you have is that it's cute and from Japan. I don't subscribe to that.

Seems like they are primarily for girls.

Well I'm sorry thats all you care about, some of us actually liked it when Japan made games that had more then "these are cute girls".

No I feel like a creep for playing a game where the point is to jiggle little girl's boobs. The fact that you don't says pretty bad things about you. It says nothing about me other then I'm probably not a creep or a pedophile.

I also did'nt say much about the Atilier series, so I'm not sure why that keeps coming up. But as Jave has illustrated the entire appeal is about cute little girls. So thanks for proving that I wasn't wrong about the series. Since my criteria for liking things does not solely revolve around "does it have cute girls" I'm not sure why I would want to play games where that is the only thing about them.

Seems like they are primarily for girls.

What about star ocean IV, the last remnant, infinite undiscovery, blue dragon, lost odyssey or tales of vesperia?? Are you saying all of these previous gen "jrpgs i hate this damn term" where shit as well??

I understand not wanting to playing to games that make you feel dirty

but you have go to at least recognize that some of these games where good.

Apparently Persona, One Piece, and Hatsune Miku are for girls too if you go by that site Laughing

Like I said, if ya find these games creepy then that's your own issue.

Seems like you're makin' a big deal out of this when no one else is.
