Hero-of-Time Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I know there are a few on here ( myself included ) that loved the original game and the sequel looks to give us more of the same. Main Heroes Razel Tereshia Supporting Cast Cesare Orneze King Zebion Healix
drahkon Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Hope this means the first one's price will drop real soon
Ike Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Hope this means the first one's price will drop real soon It's already £18.
drahkon Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 It's already £18. In Germany it isn't...and with postage the price will generally be around 35-40€ if I import it
RedShell Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Finished the first game recently. Definitely ready for more of the same! Really hope Yangus is in this one too though, such a great character. Jessica and Maya can return as well... *Puff-Puff*
Hero-of-Time Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Dat music! New details. Game Flow The game flow consists of town, field, and battle stages. Expansive Fields There are various terrains, including grasslands, forests, deserts, and snow fields. When you enter the field, you’ll move towards a destination. Since the fields are so vast, you can warp from one place to another with Waystones. There are a variety of places to drop by on the way to your destination, including sealed areas that are only unlocked when certain conditions are met. The concept of weather exists. Enemies may change based on the weather, and magic may be more or less powerful. There are enemy encounters that seamlessly transition into battle (draw your sword, return it to its sheathe). You can dash by holding R2. You can find materials and treasure chests. There are field quests that can suddenly occur. The Adventurer’s Base: The Main Country Zebion There is a weapons and armor shop, alchemy pot, and place to take on quests. There is Luida’s Bar (to manage your party). There is Rikka’s Inn (the multiplayer reception desk). There is the Dharma Priest (to change the protagonists’ jobs). Jobs include soldier, martial artist, magician, priest, and thief. Each job has various weapons it can equip. Skills will also change. There is a costume-change counter. etc. etc. Weapons Weapons have a concept of dexterity, and by using a weapon for a long time, you can learn the skills that come with it. Co-Op Multiplayer (Up to Four Players) You can cooperatively play “Story Battles” with friends. There is a multiplayer exclusive dungeon called the “Space-Time Labyrinth.” Cross-Play and Cross-Save Cross-play multiplayer across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita is supported, as well as cross-save across the three platforms.

Anyway, if this follows a similar localization schedule to the first game, I guess we shouldn't expect it until early next year.
RedShell Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Looking good. Apart from the male protagonist, who looks like a total dork. Will almost certainly be playing as the female lead character this time around.
Ike Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 A gameplay video I recorded today. Wanted to trim the start but Youtube won't let me.

Hero-of-Time Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Western release confirmed for 28th April. This pleases me. Edit: Beaten like a red headed step child. Edited December 8, 2016 by Hero-of-Time
drahkon Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Edit: Beaten like a red headed step child. :p Oh man, I need to get the first game's Platinum, but right now I'm not in the mood for a grind.
Ike Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Good news, the first one bombed so I didn't think we would get the second one. Looks like we're not getting the Vita version which is a shame.
Ike Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Demo is up on PSN: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-gb/cid=EP0082-CUSA07068_00-DQHGAME000000000
Hero-of-Time Posted Sunday at 08:54 AM Author Posted Sunday at 08:54 AM I was looking to tackle one of my next pledge games and after jumping back and forth between a few of them, I settled on this. I've put about 6 hours into the game so far and I'm disappointed in myself that it's taken me so long to get a round to playing it, especially as I loved the first game. So far I've unlocked Terry, Carver, Maribel, Torneko and Ruff. My team consists of the 2 main characters, Ceaser and Desdemona. Apparently Carver and Angelo are pretty OP and so I imagine I will switch to those at some point. The gameplay is stupidly fun. The original game is still the best Warriors type game that I have played and this is certainly shaping up to match or even exceed it. It's not just hack and slash gameplay that is fun but also the monster summon/medal mechanic. It's great saving a bunch of the stringer ones and unleashing them during a boss fight. I've been enjoying going around the wild areas and just grinding exp between missions, as well as doing the side quests that pop up in town. During my exp grinding I came across this fella... Needless to say I got a large amount of exp. Sadly, I've not see one since. The story is about 20 hours long but the platinum tales around 200. I'm in for the long haul with this one. 1
Glen-i Posted Sunday at 09:03 AM Posted Sunday at 09:03 AM Man, I wish the Switch version of that wasn't Japan exclusive, it's so up my alley! It irritates me to no end!

It irritates me to no end! Yeah, you'd love it. Did the original game come over here on the Switch or was that left in Japan as well?

Did the original game come over here on the Switch or was that left in Japan as well? Switch got a bundle including both of the Heroes games instead of separate releases. So they both never left Japan. Edited Sunday at 09:31 AM by Glen-i
