I guess I was a bit expecting too high from it, I’ve played persona on PS1 it was a good game, to be honest with I do like the system here better, since its very convenient the way they allow you to “manage” the devils you have summoned, I found myself having some fun on just studying each devil’s strength and weakness and to create a better team. Unfortunately I couldnt go on as the story.. THERE”S NO STORY! All there is is some old guy and widow liked woman keep showing up explaining nothing at all bout what’s issue there but they do know so well what they want you to do. The kid(your character) pretent he has no tonque, well thats fine as many japanese games are like that, you just feel like there wont be any answer enough clues about the game world it has made of. I finally so irritated and give up the game simply I can foresee there will be no explaination, conclusion whatsoever about whats going on but there certainly will be a nasty boss waiting… I guess my biggest complaint is there are just so few people are involved in the story, it feel so isolated/alone not in a good way. Many of the design in dungeons are too chaotic, non-interesting.. the music is simply boring, I dunno why would they think people would like to listen to the soundtrack it comes in, you can find a better one with similar style for 99cents on amazon. And the dungeons often feel unnecessary huge but pointless huge, they are so empty and I was irritated to find out later about 1/3 of the rooms are empty! And even when its not you find there only one guy to talk to and he give crappy information a little more important than saying “hello”! I wanna suggest people skip this give and forward to “digital saga” I havent played it yet, but there at least has a team of people! that its more likely you found yourself in a story. This game is about endless monster hunt or negotiation and fusing monsters.

This is one of the most compelling RPG’s I’ve played since Shining Force III on the Saturn. At first blush, the graphics might throw you off (they are definitely styelized) and they certainly lend themselves to the atmosphere of the game. It’s part Monster rancher, part finanl fantasy, and part phantasy star I. The dungeons are BRUTAL and long and the monsters have a tendancy to kick you in the tail. But the game is truly addictive and the battles (although frequent) are quick.

I would highly reccomend this game to any fan of the genre (watch out for it’s adult themes though).

And if some guy (in jeans) manages to review this game…just remember he doesn’t own it. He’s only seen me play it and he was upset because he bought Metal Gear Solid 3 snake eater instead and felt gyped because the game was so much worse then Nocturne. Just remember, he’s a guy in jeans…and you know guys in jeans are only out for one thing…MORE JEANS!!!!
