Didn't ask who made them. More of condemning who plays them.Two-A said:They're made by Nippon Ichi, the creators of the Disgaea series. They have quite a bit of a niche.bdcjacko said:Who actually plays these games?
I admit that was a rather roundabout way of saying they have an audience. But the game itself is not bad, even if it's atypical.bdcjacko said:Didn't ask who made them.

Now I'm not about to judge anyone who likes this niche genre of games, the more niche genres that get filled the better I say.balladbird said:Fans of nippon ichi roguelikes/jrpgs. There aren't many of us, but we're a niche. XDbdcjacko said:Who actually plays these games?
The story is framed episodically, with the big god machine selecting a prayer for god to grant, and then solving as many dungeons as necessary to grant it. as the game progresses it gradually resolves the more central plot, the war between celestia and the netherworld, and what "god" really is in relation to it.tarnim80 said:as entertaining as this intro is it tells you nothing at all about what the actuall game is about. I mean, what do you even do? Also, if that girl has the power to let others become God wouldn't that make her more powerful than God?
Not the greatest story ever told, but certainly unique enough to keep one interested through the playthrough.
There are a variety of reasons. Some japanese developers are way more defensive of their product being localized, some publishers are squeamish of anything that isn't guaranteed a large return on investment (that was the reason Xenoblade had such a hard time. Nintendo and Sega are both notorious for not taking risks)RandV80 said:Now I'm not about to judge anyone who likes this niche genre of games, the more niche genres that get filled the better I say.
No, what I wonder is why does this specific 'niche' of JRPG's always get releases and localization and not the more traditional JRPG games that I like such as Dragon Quest, old Final Fantasy, Suikoden, and so on. I mean just look at how hard it was to get Xenoblade and The Last Story out in North America for the Wii.
They don't MAKE old school Dragon Warrior types RPGs anymore. Final Fantasy abandoned it after 10-2 and even Dragon Quest has stopped.RandV80 said:No, what I wonder is why does this specific 'niche' of JRPG's always get releases and localization and not the more traditional JRPG games that I like such as Dragon Quest, old Final Fantasy, Suikoden, and so on.

Phew, that's a relief, should've guessed it from the isometric perspective.lord.jeff said:It's more of a turn based dungeon crawler RPG.leviadragon99 said:So... please tell me this isn't a dating sim, this weird concept should not be wasted on a dating sim.
The game is great, despite the story. A pretty interestng roguelike rpg with some cool mechanics.bdcjacko said:Who actually plays these games?
While I agree with you on the main plot, I will say I do find the stories presented in each individual chapter quite interesting. Like the first chapter, with Cinderella questioning / criticising her own story.MrBaskerville said:The game is great, despite the story.

We added spikes for that extra bit of divinity.

Because... sometimes something can have both good qualities and bad ones? Because that's how reality works?Timewarpman1 said:Also I get tired of the old chestnut. X is bad but y is good....
WHY CAN'T BOTH X AND Y BE GOOD?!!!!
