A: Why would Camelot completely change the formula just because it's on the DS?The Great JT said:
B: Touch-screen Psynergy puzzles don't pique your interest even a little?
Yes. Yes! YES!!! FUCKING YES!!!!
THERE IS A GOD! THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!!
...*Clears throat* A-hem... Sorry about that.
But seriously! I've been waiting since the bloody lost ages for this game to be announced! And now that it has been, I am happy, no, I am beyond happy, no, I am happy beyond mortal comprehension. As soon as it's released, I am going to get a DS, I am going to get the game, and anyone that stands in my way shall learn the true meaning of hell.
Oh, and by the way-
THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!!

I can hardly believe this...I spent hours playing the original and The Lost Age. This makes me happy to learn that they're making another one.
A: Because I've come to expect a certain air of stupidity from game companies who had critically acclaimed and otherwise good games. I like to call it Sonic Team Stupidity Syndrome.Lvl 64 Klutz said:

I thought I was the only one who thought it was meh.PedroSteckecilo said:
I distinctly remember playing it and always feeling like it was repetitious and overly clichéd. I mean really, anime style hair, doom descends town/world, only the protagonist can save it, kicked out into the world.
I'm just baffled people are treating this like the second coming, maybe if they were releasing a game like Super Mario RPG2 that would be something to thank god for, but another golden sun...yea...
Best way I could possibly explain it is I guess it has that same effect Chrono Trigger had. All those problems you listed where in CT and are oddly enough what made it great. There may have been a lot of cliche and what not but it was done in a manner that was fun and doesn't take itself seriously. I knows it's cliche and just runs wit it and it's just meant to be fun.Rednog said:
Also it was a landmark for handheld RPG's, there really was nothing like it before hand on the game boy. You could consider it a good benchmark for the portable RPG as it contributed a lot. Pretty damn good gameplay and overall design too, the emphasis of use of your powers outside of a battle was refreshing and rather innovative. The dungeon design worked hand in hand with that concept and made dungeons into fun and unique puzzles that were rewarding. Djinn system allowed for nice mix and match abilities to customize characters and give them useful and unique attributes and offered some depth to the combat.
Overall it was just a very solid game that fell into a comfortable area for players with a moderate challenge, fun story, and solid gameplay mechanics with rewarding results.
