Before this game, I did not believe that another game could rival Final Fantasy Tactics in terms of storyline, gameplay, and graphics. But then I played Vandal Hearts II
This game begins with a simple plot: your main character Joseph lives in a village as a peasant forced to conform to the inequities of a Caste system in which Nobles control every aspect of peasant and middle class society life. He eventually leaves his village in the middle of a very tragic event. The story instantly becomes much more than that, but I won`t go into detail.
This game features a dual-turn battle system, which, to my knowledge, is previously unprecedented in strategy role-playing games . This makes it so that each enemy moves at the same time as each of your characters do. This makes the game much more fun and challenging, and it causes you to have to think strategically when planning each of your moves; you have to be able to anticipate how the character will attack you and plan your movements and attacks accordingly. This gets harder as the game progresses because the enemies will use a greater variety of weapons and skills. You might have to spend some battles outside of the main quest getting used to this new system, but it is an awesome experience. (I think they used more blood than really necessary, though. Sure, when they get slashed to death and die they have to bleed, but not THAT much!)
Also, the game gets rid of the job system featured in Final Fantasy Tactics. Instead, your weapons and armor give you all of your stats, abilities and techniques. You can equip up to two weapons on a character (Your shield counts as one of those weapons), with the exception of certain ones. Different weapons give you different attacks and special techniques.Armor determines your movement in battle. Heavy armor gives you a great deal of HP. Light vests give you less HP, but you can move farther and through grass. Wing armor gives you little HP, but you have amazing mobility and can move to great heights and over any surface.
The graphics are not the greatest. The pictures of the characters during dialogue are kind of strange-looking, and others are downright ugly. The character sprites don`t look nearly as good as in Final Fantasy Tactics, but hey, graphics don`t make the game, right?
Overall, this is one of the greatest games I own for PlayStation -- the others being Star Ocean 2 and possibly Final Fantasy Tactics. Anyone who is a fan of strategy RPGs or just RPGs in general should have this.
When I first saw this game, I purchased it on the spot for the sole fact alone that I loved the first game. When I got home to play it a day later I was instantly hooked. The game is full of alot of political intrigue, and the story is very deep and moving.
The story is very deep and moving, as Joshua and Adele`s stories take shape, and they are pushed together and pulled apart over and over again. The battle system is alot more flexible than Vandal Hearts and alot more strategy is needed to beat all the monsters. Now, when you move, a monster moves at the same time, meaning you sometimes will have to guess where that monster will move and anticipate it`s move.
The menu system in towns and on the world map has still been kept in use, but it cuts all the [garbage] out of a game, and leaves you heading in the direction you are supposed to. There is no confusion on where to go here, like in other games.
Overall this game is great, and if you love alot of reading, and a great story then I suggest you find a copy of this great game as soon as you can!
Thanks to Tdc-Crew for this release.
