Tokyo Xanadu is an activity RPG for the PS Vita in addition to is ane of the games I bring been waiting for to live on localized inwards English linguistic communication for quite a long spell now. It was developed past times Falcom, the ane responsible for the Legend of Heroes in addition to YS serial which are all I am a fan of. The Vita version released is non the EX+ version that’s yet to live on released for PS4 which has some bonus even out included. The query though, is it worth the wait?
Just a brief background, I bring played Xanadu Next earlier for the Nokia N-Gage in addition to I enjoyed that game a lot means dorsum 2005. So, afterward 8 years the game, Falcom made a follow upward game for the PS Vita.
The game is nearly a grouping of high schoolhouse teenagers trying to relieve the earth from a nightmare realm called the Eclipse. This Eclipse are caused past times distorted emotions from people similar the one's In Persona games lol thence y'all know how this goes. There's a lot of drama going on in addition to if y'all dear Persona in addition to Trails of Cold Steel games you'll dear the even out of Tokyo Xanadu.
Like TOCS in addition to Persona, y'all alive a high schoolers life inwards this game. You acquire to school, interact amongst people, practise some side quest, boost relationships amongst other people BUT at that spot are limits to what y'all tin practise inwards a day. There are stuffs similar conversation amongst your friends in addition to people. NPC talks nearly different stuff each day. So different other RPGs conversation closed to people is a must every bit they mightiness give y'all inwards game hints in addition to tips that are available solely for a detail day.
The whole game feels similar you're playing Trails of Cold steel inwards a modern setting. Yes, this game is made using the engine used for TOCS series. The menu, the science system, the text bubbles, the sprites, the human relationship system. Almost all the arrangement constitute inwards TOCS is acquaint inwards Tokyo Xanadu. Not certain if this volition plough y'all off, precisely it was developed past times the same developers thence I bring no issues amongst that. You tin fifty-fifty meet TOCS Posters inwards game in addition to it fifty-fifty gave a glimpse of a possibility of TOCS III.
Gameplay is superb. Its smoothen animations are bang-up the controls are customizable. The game mechanics are slow to understand. If y'all bring played YS earlier it's every bit fast. I wishing the photographic idiot box camera would live on a flake higher though. You are stuck inwards a third somebody sentiment which is proficient for some activity games. Not a large effect though. Wish that I could meet to a greater extent than of the battle champaign in addition to the enemies closed to me.
Praise Falcom for the scrap system. It's fast in addition to exciting. Combined amongst a bang-up soundtrack, the game's scrap won’t bore y'all precisely instead give y'all ane of the best you've played inwards a handheld. There are some drops amongst the frame charge per unit of measurement precisely would non hinder y'all from enjoying the fast combat. Like YS, Enemies drib shards which are used to fortify in addition to create your weapons. Bad matter though, enemies practise non respawn automatically. You take away to trigger them ane time again somewhere at the terminate of the dungeon.
The Graphics for me is amazing. It's similar TOCS. Not an AAA lineament precisely the anime graphics is pretty much at domicile for the Vita. Some of the places where based on existent places inwards Tokyo Japan. Character designs are proficient in addition to fresh. Towa from TOCS serial makes a cameo inwards this game lol.
One of the best things Falcom is proficient at, is grapheme development. Even NPC's has their ain stories in addition to backgrounds. You volition live on forced to larn to a greater extent than nearly the people closed to y'all because some of your stats are based on the human relationship y'all bring from your peers.
The Soundtrack is every bit expected from Falcom, is great. Expect the catchy music everywhere y'all go. :D
It's surprising that for a game that's been out for almost two years, The game is yet ane of the Vita games to Marvel in addition to enjoy. One of the best games for Vita. Period.
Pros:
- Great scrap system
- Great Story
- Great Music
- Customizable controls
- A rich RPG experience every bit at that spot are tons of things to discover
Cons:
- Some mightiness live on turned off for recycling thence much materials from TOCS
Overall: 4/5
