Lost Soul Aside

Fantastic visual design, a host of beautiful characters, serviceable story with good presentation, but the highlight is the engaging combat system UltiZero cooked. Absolutely a blast to play. I like the small puzzles scattered around the scenery as well. Game deserved better scores for what it is.

According to pretty much every single review the combat rules, the music rules, the graphics rule, but the dialogue **** and the story is just ok. But no one seems to have played the game in its original language and if you do then the dialogue and story are actually really good. The voice acting is awesome and I would argue that even the story is better. But how can the story be better isn't it the same story? A few points, first your not distracted by horrible voice acting so your more immersed in the story and start out with a more positive mindset. Second you have to read the subtitles and reading just provides a different experience and elevates story telling. And third because a lot of the dialogue is during combat you miss quite a bit of it which may seem like a negative but if you're not into the story or dialogue then simply listening to epic Japanese while fighting elevates the experience and also leaves much of the story to your imagination and creates more mystery which makes the story seem better than it is. I'd say this game is worth $60 even though it probably should have been priced at $50 and only gave it a 10 because I really want them to make more games like this and I'm worried with the low rating they probably wont. I'd give this game an 8 out of 10. Combat is epic and there's really nothing like it. I bought FF16 cause the combat looked insane but it ****, bosses really make or break combat and FF16 bosses are really no different than fighting a brick wall and that's where lost soul aside truly shines with its bosses. Their move sets are insane and so much fun to fight. FF7 remake also has really boring bosses. FF16 and FF7 are the first 2 FF games that ever looked interesting to me and they both were disappointing. Lost soul aside is the FF for me. The music rocks the combat rocks the bosses are far beyond anything I've ever experienced, the dialogue in Japanese is awesome and the story is pretty good. Zero complaints, blows every FF game out of the water and I bet even DMC even though I haven't played it cause it looks like ass. Lost soul aside is truly a masterpiece that fixes all my issues with the FF series which is super childish dialogue, abysmal combat and bosses that fight like a brick wall.
