Because of it being a Tri-Ace game and they usually tie their worlds/stories together; I have a feeling End of Eternity takes place during/after Star Ocean 4. Basel is the atmospheric cleanser for Earth after it got nuked at the start of Star Ocean 4. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on.
This looks like a freaking awesome game. I really like the sepia tones and the steampunk aspects. And you say by the same people who did Star Ocean: The Second Story? Even better! I am sad that I never heard of this game! Star Ocean: The Second Story was my favorite game! Though the main reason I liked it was because of the "private actions" and how one can influence the game story and alter it. But this still looks sweet. I must play this now. Thanks for the video.
I remembered playing this game forever ago on my 360 and not fully understanding the mechanics and getting stuck on the escorting the idol mission (anyone who's played it knows what Im talking about, and how terrible that mission is). I recently found out about the remaster and lost my shit when I saw it was released on PC too. I picked it up a couple weeks ago and have been absolutely loving it. I breezed through the mission that I got stuck on. I'm currently on chapter 7 or 8 right now, and still loving it.
This game is just so unique in it's combat and world mechanics. I had this before and got stuck went to other games but then the system crapped and I couldn't finish it. Years later finally able to download it and try it again.
I just wish we get a follow up to this. It has so much potential and better than Final Fantasy these days imo. The best thing about it is the combat and characters, which very few Jrpgs got those right. Sure the story doesn't make any sense, but so does most Jrpgs. At least, in this one the characters are hilarious. The trio just got that chemistry, man. They're perfect party.
I found out about this game in recent PSN sale and the colors/style is what catch my eye in the first place. I love it (loved similar style in Nier Automata), it went straight into my "Best games ever" box, together with Legend of Dragoon, Xenogears, FF7 and Nier (both games).
I loved Basil as a setting, and this game. It was difficult and had a learning curve, and the story was very difficult to follow unless you play it multiple times and pay close attention. But it was such a great jrpg. I played RoF and Lost Odyssey around the same time, and while I liked Lost Odyssey too, I remember my 3 playthroughs of Resonance of Fate so much more. I just wish the game had received a sequel that improved and iterated upon what the first game established, specifically more guns and more ways to use them so every fight didn't devolve into literally running and gunning. I'm quite sad there was never a Resonance of Fate 2.
I love Resonance of Fate, my only complaint with this game is that it seems to revolve on Leanne instead of Team Vashyron as a whole. It does not go in depth with Vashyron and what he is supposed to do as a "Knight of Zenith" or how Zephyr went crazy and started killing everyone in the Seminary (I have read online that Zephyr, like Leanne, is a test subject for Sullivan but I have found no cutscene in the game that confirms this). I would regard the story as anti-climatic for the questions that the plot-twist left unanswered, despite this the Lore displayed a great sense of potential. Team Vashyron is one of my most beloved Trios; Vashyron, a hilarious and witty playboy, Zephyr, an edge-lord who I see as a teenage Wolverine, and Leanne, with the innocence, naivety & pacifism so child-like I mistook her for being the youngest of the group, but with all 3 of them teamed-up together they form into 1 perfect half-wit.
Awesome review! I really like the way you speak and I actually find you interesting (and your accent is very pleasant to listen to as well!). I subscribed, please keep making reviews!! Game sounds great too. It's on a sale on the PS store right now and this review really made me want to pick it up.
Looks pretty awesome, I wish I set aside time to play new games, but I haven't finished the old ones. I might just grab some walkthroughs and power through a few
Both Resonance of Fate and Final Fantasy XIII are some of my favorite games of all time. I get the comparisons to FFXIII but I wish everyone praising RoF didn’t shit on FFXIII at the same time.
Scott's Game Asylum yeah it’s very good but it’s very repetitive yet satisfying and the story is fun to watch as you progress like the cut scenes I think the game mechanics is what makes the game fun and the map with the hex’s most people would give up trying to learn this game I tried to skip the dreadful tutorial but realized I needed it lol
I think the thing that struck me hardest with RoF was the setting. It oozes atmosphere and really sucks you in if you let it. It just has that je nais ce quoi missing in a lot of JRPG's.
The story is fresh.. but if you play with no walkthrough, you will miss 75% of the stuff in this game :/ Hate how they made all those quest so time sensitive. Got tired at about 2/3 of the game.
As overused as Nolan North was for quite a while there, I actually really like the dude's voice acting. I have really wanted to check this game out for years now. Its gameplay seems so interesting! Yet every time I'm about to buy it, its extremely drab visual style stops me. One of these days I'll get around to it. One day. EDIT: That mix of music and that background from Silent Hill 4 during the outro is utterly hilarious to me. Great stuff. ^^
I can take Nolan in small doses. Anything longer than that then I want to gouge my ears out. RoF has a lot going for it past it's graphics and it's a lot lighter in time than it looks.
@@ScottsGameAsylum I know the feeling - I absolutely can't stand Yuri Lowenthal's voice myself. Some people's voices are just annoying for whatever reason. I think I'm still haunted by the memories of the early-to-mid PS3/360 era aesthetics. I WILL get around to it, for sure. Great review, btw!
I tried to play this game three times but got hung up early on. Even tried using online guides. There's a huge obstacle for me to overcome in playing it. Still proud to own it, being the JRPG junkie I am.
Well it seems that most reviews are overtly harsh for the sake of entertainment value. Which kind of sucks. Yes there is a ton of crap to deal with but there is also a unique game you don't get anywhere else.
I wrote a glowing review for it back in the day. I was so enchanted with the game (got plat on it) I ignored all the negative stuff about the drab graphics, weird story, the boring arena trophy and the tutorial. But I remember the tutorial made me cry with frustration when I started the game: the gameplay seemed impossibly difficult.
lately, many games get remastered not only for easy bucks but also to see how well it goes and if there is a market for the game so if the remaster did well I hope we get the sequel also, I bought the game on steam and it run terribly for some reason and I'm not the only one, many people have stutter in fps and sound which is terrible, I almost refund it, luckily I manage to somehow make it work and now it run smoothly but even then overall it got overall positive review
Exactly idk why most games had grey or limited color during the xbox 360 and ps3 era. Also I definitely agree the tutorials are full on a$s, I barely understood the game when I first played and the story didn't help either. These are the games to my memory that had that color issue: Mass Effect Fallout 3 Resident Evil 5 Alan Wake Left 4 Dead GTA 4 Call of Duty MGS4 Heavy Rain
The graphics looked amazing at the time. It's just the art style that sucked. No colors at all. Huge mistake. No saturation at all. So muted. Such a waste man
ih wish they make a second game with same combat system but more complex in terms of upgrade mechanics how we develop our chars ltos of stuff to do endgame stuff and so on would instand buy it
An SRPG published by SEGA, man this is what Shining Force could have evolved to be instead of dying on the Saturn with a slow ass disappointment that we only got half of outside Japan, and then Sonic Software Planning/Camelot being bought by Nintendo and sent to the Mario sports mines for eternity
You didn't mention the TriAttack lol, once you figured that out you could absolutely bully all the enemies. I didn't realise I got so far into this game when I played it, I remember the Christmas mission haha, would have finished it all but m PS3 died.
I love this game. I feel there’s no other game like it but it is a love and hate type of game. Definitely no cake walk regardless of how easy the mechanics are
I picked this up on sale at EB games back in high school because the name looked edgy and i was all for edgy JRPGs (still am tbh). Found it hard as balls and gave up. 8 years later and I decided to give it another shot and god damn I miss the characters. I admit the story isn't the greatest (I watched the cutscenes when I initially gave up) but I just love the banter between the trio and how over the top the game is. Like it's Metal Gear Rising level over the top and that's fucking amazing
It's not a bad game it just story takes, ages to get interesting for most part you just do odd jobs, and the gameplay never evolves and every battle plays the same
This game was awesome despise the graphics that were a bit meh and the tutorial that took an hour to complete. But once you get the hang of the mechanism, my gosh it's fun. Don't ignore the tutorial like it's been said in this vid or you'll regret it big time. The characters were deep and fun to travel with from beginning to end, a truly good experience and so much better than FFXIII.
Was considering grabbing this as it's on sale on the PS4 but this video has ironically turned me off doing that. Also, FF13 doesn't suck, but you know.
Well that's if you wanted to play on 4K. The non-4K version doesn't even take a quarter as much space. Just get that one, because the 4K version doesn't fix much of the game's rather drab color scheme anyway.
Fuck you, i love nathan drake you xbox fanboy 😠😡🤬👿
lol, 2013 just called and wanted it's social dialect back. Shall i put it through?
L33t indeed lolololololololololololololol!
Lol yeah ok you Nathan drake fanboy
I mean Nathan Drake is cool, but nothing special. BUT.. Anime characters suck. It's just gross and weird for the sake of it.
Second coming of yu yevon...I appreciate this
He wasn't lying when he said he was burned out with jrpgs when he said this ahahah
and i appreciate this comment!
This game will be the next Earthbound or Chrono Trigger. Buy copies if you can get them for cheap.
I would say yeah. But now it's on the PC I don't know if it will have that kind of appeal.
Unless there is a super duper special edition of course
Always enjoy your reviews even when I'm not that interested in the game. For what it's worth you deserve far more views than your getting.
Thank you That means a lot. I'll keep making them, you keep watching them my friend.

If you haven't, go pick it up and enjoy!
"that stupid thing that fan boys say when that new game that comes out that they absolutely love is boring as fuck...COUGH...The Witcher 1..."
what are you talking about im confused
@@G3RM3X617 its a quote from his review...
All I added was an example...
Aside from the Combat, it's actually the "drab" graphics that pulled me in to wanting to try this game out. I love the way it looks.
I loved this game. One of my favorites, but it took me about a week to understand the battle system
A week!!?You are fast !!
Looks pretty awesome, I wish I set aside time to play new games, but I haven't finished the old ones. I might just grab some walkthroughs and power through a few
Yeah, one game at a time for me.
I would also always confuse this with Enchanted Arms..Great reviews by the way keep it up.
Thanks!
I’m surprise this game got a PS4 release but not final fantasy 13
This video made me subscribe. Keep it up while I go rummage through your video library. Cheers!
Lol thanks. Love the username BTW!
Very nice review. I'll be getting this game on sale on the US store for 9.99. Thanks!
Nice, for that price you can't go wrong.
All review are suck especially ign.. Glad there's good review like you who didn't biased with one game like ign
Thanks, & isn't it ironic that they get paid to publish pure tripe.
Both Resonance of Fate and Final Fantasy XIII are some of my favorite games of all time. I get the comparisons to FFXIII but I wish everyone praising RoF didn’t shit on FFXIII at the same time.
There is a difference between teasing and absolutely hating FF13. Check out my review to find out more.

Because it's good!

Still need to play it!

Yeah I hear you on that. It took a few times to get what this game is all about.
This is the funniest best review I've ever seen
I love ROF, and your reivew is fair to it. That Christmas misison is so annoying! Waiting for a price drop in the UK though to buy it again.

Great review, love the game and I hope it get a sequel
With all the renewed interest I very much hope so. Thanks for watching.
lately, many games get remastered not only for easy bucks but also to see how well it goes and if there is a market for the game so if the remaster did well I hope we get the sequel

Yeah I had the same issue on my pc. But the framerate dips where in the overworld.
Looks like they patched it now.
I remember I was also burned out on JRPG"s when this came out. I bet more people experienced this than just us...
Yes! There are millions of people so the chances are quite high
Exactly idk why most games had grey or limited color during the xbox 360 and ps3 era. Also I definitely agree the tutorials are full on a$s, I barely understood the game when I first played and the story didn't help either.
These are the games to my memory that had that color issue:
Mass Effect
Fallout 3
Resident Evil 5
Alan Wake
Left 4 Dead
GTA 4
Call of Duty
MGS4
Heavy Rain
The sepia colors were also in some Wii Rpg like Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower and The Last Story, also on Lost Odyssey for the 360
The graphics looked amazing at the time. It's just the art style that sucked.
No colors at all. Huge mistake. No saturation at all. So muted. Such a waste man
Yeah its a tough one. I get the the melancholic design. But the over the top actions of the characters and the action contradicts the colour pallette.
I wish there were more games like this. Most jrpgs are magic or swords, but guns are cool
Defo check out the Star Ocean series
ih wish they make a second game with same combat system but more complex in terms of upgrade mechanics how we develop our chars ltos of stuff to do endgame stuff and so on would instand buy it

really good video mate, you deserve far more subs than you have pal ;)

Yeah that's was the sign of the times.

It might be worth picking up the pc or ps4 remaster. It runs a lot smoother and has a tutorial that makes sense.
But why the jumps?

Like most JRPG's, but I did like the gimmick of the combat. But it dies outstay it's welcome by the end.
