It has a lot of characters that you want to play as, but all you can do is stalk them, kick them in their shins, and get your ass beat until you're strong enough to recruit them.

Nice OP, and I think voice actor names should always be included, but I think you could have also mentioned the japanese voice cast.
Definitely interested in the game as I missed the original version.

there's a couple places in the midgame and endgame that make it really easy to level, and you'll want to if you do the optional content in the endgame
Okay thanks. Going to buy it
Also, the way the overworld works you get blocks that you lay down in order to advance. Some of these blocks have status effects, one being xp boost.

Well, you have to link a station/place on the map with X blocks of Y color. But you can eventually cover entire levels!
At this point they really should edit the English site. :P
I like the part where this game doesn't even have Steam Cards. They might be added later I guess, but so far nothing.
Man, it feels great to be back in this world again:)
Also, to all newcomers. Please go to the arena and do the tutorial. I hate that Tri-ace didn't make it mandatory this time, I remember being so pissed off about the combat cause you I got into a battle and didn't know what I was doing and shelved the game for like 2-3 years.

I'm still not sure about the combat. I just finished chapter 3, haven't had too many game overs/deaths. But it just feels like I'm doing something wrong, and I have no idea what.
Setting up Tri Attacks after the first seems damn near impossible for one. And even then, having your 2 other people stop because there's a wall in their way that you can't jump over because you have no control seems stupid. I'm startign to think that the battle syste isn't hard because its complicated, but because its... not good.

Put you SMG user in the center (top slot in order on menu screen) and have them do a hero action to cross your other two chars and earn one resonance point. You can then have one of the other chars cross the other two. You can get 2-3 RP very easily.
When doing tri-Attacks, you can change chars with L1/R1 and can jump in mid-action with square.
You're hitting walls because you're not planning your routes effectively or taking elevation changes into account.
Thats exactly what I've been doing. Except for the changing thing, I didn't know about that, that will help.
As for not planning actions, kinda hard to do when arenas are massive with a ton of walls/barricades everywhere, and there's no way to get a top down view or a view of the whole arena.
OP
OP
I believe you can click L3 or R3 to change between focusing on your character or the end point / anchor. You can also move the camera around to get a general look around, but I forget how effective that is. Keep in mind nothing moves unless you take action (move or attack).
If you want to get all the trophies then yes, you do need to grind.
What a great game..booted it up on PC and love the way it throws you onto its mechanics. It's unique take makes it intriguing and challenging.
Defo looking forward to playing this properly when I clear my backlog.

When I played this game, I think I ended up in a battle on the very first hex I stepped on, before I could even get to the arena. Had no idea what to do and lost the battle; one of the earliest Game Overs in RPG history.
Once I got the hang of the battle system it was a lot of fun, but that learning curve was steep.
And the arena itself becomes a grind; I don't think I even did a quarter of it.
Bought it instantly when I saw it, had no idea it was coming. How good is this game on a scale from Valkyrie Profile 2 to Odin Sphere? Is the PC port good? Guess I'll find out as soon as this install finishes...
Edit: Oh, port sucks? Bleh. Hoping I'll have some luck for once and be spared most severe issues.

VP1 and 2 are my top games of all time. RoF is one of my top ten RPGs. It's a very charming, fun, and unique game that blends slice of life storytelling with flashy gun battles. It's quirky and perhaps a bit complex for some, but it's a shining example of tri-Ace just trying what they wanted to try.
PC port seems good for some people, not so much for others. Likely needs a patch.
If there's one thing I hate about most JRPGs it's how handhold-y and overly simplified most combat systems are, so that sounds good to me!
Seems to be more intermittent issues (stutter) and missing features (ultrawide, borderless fullscreen etc) rather than just straight sucking. Not a Ys 8 situation. I guess it depends on ones threshold for 'sucks'.
Yeah I don't have any performance issues and luckily the missing features don't apply to me. Doesn't exactly seem like a stellar port but at least it's playable so far. No crashing or anything.
On the other hand, THIS COMBAT SYSTEM HOLY SHIT!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?! Fuck tutorials, this is hilariously enjoyable figuring out on my own. I'm assuming this will only get crazier, but it's already amazing.

Steam requires games to prove they have actual players before they approve trading cards to weed out spam games now. Since this is self-published by Tri-Ace they need to go through this process.
Big developers like Square Enix don't need to go through this though.
Seems fine to me, only "problem" I have is it's brighter than the original. I guess it's just better hardware clearing the picture up.

Damn, surprisingly deepFor anyone curious about the PS4 options, I just snapped a few things in my capture preview window (ignore red dots around edges).
Man.. I love jrpgs, but I somehow missed this one. Any comparisons out there? What is the combat like?
Perfect thanks - bought and downloading now :)
What a weird but in a good way game. One of the more unique rpgs i've ever played
At this point they really should edit the English site. :P
How bizarre. Is it possible that these bonuses will be added in at a later date? Steam Trading Cards, assuredly, because that happens all the time. But the PSN theme and avatars? I don't recall any example of those being retroactively applied to an account or game license...?
OP
OP
Easiest comparison is Valkyria Chronicles x John Woo films. However, it's not nearly as strategic and I've yet to see any doves. It has some layers to it that will make sense once you're flying around in combat.
In combat, enemies move when you move. If you move, you start to eat into your meter (think of it like Valkyria's AP meter, but it drains when you're aiming/charging.)
You charge up your attacks with revolutions of your gauge. As you charge more, you get more effects/higher damage/etc. You can upgrade your guns to charge faster, be more accurate, etc.
You have two types of damage, Scratch and Direct. Scratch paints up your enemies with high damage, but it can't kill them. Direct does low damage, but you can hit a scratched target and convert all that into Direct damage and kill.
Example: You only do 5 direct damage per shot. Your SMG does 100 scratch damage. Say you did 1,000 scratch damage to the enemy. You'd simply hit them with a direct damage weapon to make it 1000+5 for 1,005 total damage.
You break parts, HP gauges, slam enemies up into the air and down into the ground, do elemental attacks and status effects, etc etc etc.
The main draw of the combat is the flashy animations and attacks. You can do Hero Actions (which cost 1 bezel gauge out of X you have) and become invincible while moving from Point A to Point B. You can attack multiple times during your run.
Crossing paths with other chars (you move one at a time) will grant you Resonance Points to do tri-Attacks, which are basically just the hero actions I described above but with all three chars moving from point to point based on how many Resonance Points you have.
You can jump while on the move, and when doing tri-Attacks you can switch characters, skip turns to set up exactly how you want your attack flow to go, and bang bang bang.
It's a unique mixture that is very fun to set up and pleasing to watch. It can also be quite difficult!
This will give you a general idea of how the battle system works.

you'll get better at it over time, trust me
after about 30 hours i was auto-piloting the combat without even thinking, all the while wishing i could go back to being more invested in what was happening during combat
Aaand the game crashed right after I finsihed one of the Red Hex fights. The Dolled Up.. something one for the doll. I want to like this, and most of the time I do, but it feels like the game's actively working agaisnt me.
But, isn't that because the game gets significantly easier once you have a healthy stock of Bezels?

Not necessarily. The combat is easy to make a simple loop and spam it and win most encounters without much issues. Also weapon mods can help a ton.
Thanks man! You have me thinking about picking this up, later.
