When i have head that 13 sentinels was minimum the second best game of the studio... I was sure it was going to be a masterpiece. and it indeed is. Odin sphere has his poetic and theatrical atmosphere recalling old litterature. 13 sentinel aims at the opposite with a very modern take on All of sci-fi... Also, both Odin Sphere and 13 sentinel are still humanitarian story.

@@apriarcy it’s a pity to see smaller JP developers decision on sticking to one specific Platform. I understand the reason since not all of them are able to go full on Multi-plat releasing....still, considering as of right now in Japan, the Nintendo switch is dominating any chances of a traditional gaming console ever breaking the market. Alright I also understand that the switch is probably not the easiest platform to develop games on compared to PS5. That’s still not a valid or justification for not making games on a platform like the switch. The system has been on the market for what is nearly 4 years now, and I’m sure dev kits were around during 2016. So It’s a pity it’s taken this long to see AA devs support more than one platform tbh. But yeah the way I see it, limiting the overall performance of a game especially niche ones at that on one platform just doesn’t feel consumer friendly especially if the platform holder doesn’t have any contracts for making these exclusive to one platform in the first place. (Persona & SMT series to begin with don’t even have any known exclusivity deals for either platforms, it’s just Atlus being weird in this instance.) Going Multi-plat is a must at this point for JP devs.. AA Games can find success on more than just one platform. Perfect example, Sakuna of rice & ruin which originally the game was only going to be on PC & PS4. And thanks to the switch the game looks to have been a massive success for the developers, selling around 500K copies worldwide! That’s insane especially for a niche new IP.

I didn't mention the other difficulty options except to say "I played on standard" which hopefully is enough to imply they exist. TBH, on standard difficulty the game is about as easy as I feel "Casual" should be. Casual I tried once just to see if mechanics changed. They didn't, but by the time I tried it (Post game) the difficulty level felt indistinguishable. I was basically invincible in both modes with my tactics. I never did try hard, but I can't imagine it'll actually be "Hard." Probably just what normal should have been. Definitely not a game to play if you're looking for a challenge.

Combat is servicable. Too many stories with the time travel trope reminds me of Kingdom Hearts level of lack of cohesion. The characters don't really seem compelling by themselves.

Trying to like it past the visuals, but my interest is waning after 6-8 hours.

While this game has a ton of moving parts, I disagree with your belief that 13S:AR isn't a visual novel. In fact, I believe it's visual novel aspect runs deep to its core. It wants to tell you its story above all else. It's practically aching for you to drink the narrative in. And as a life long gamer whose never taken to (or even really liked) the visual novel genre, this is the only one I've played to completion and it's the only PS4 game I've ever platinumed. And that's saying something given that the vast majority of visual novels are 4 - 6 hours long and 13S:AR is over 40...and I drank it all in slow...Just like those jaw droppingly supple visuals. I had my fare share of problems with it, mostly concerning how it falls into anime Lolita traps, adults having romantic feelings for teens and vice versa, light fan service and a female character who embodies the female-with-massive-cleavage-wearing-questionable-attire-and-posing-rediculously trope. (This is why I by-and-large don't indulge in the visual novel genre.) Not to mention that I was more than a little uncomfortable with the second year high schoolers being naked in their mechs idea. I was also driven to a headache by not only Miwa-Chan's "what should we eat" portion, but by Ogata's Source Code-like arc on that damned train platform as I tried desperately for much longer than it should have taken to figure out what I needed to interact with in what order with little to go on and an invisible clock rushing me. (And don't feel bad about the cat aspect of that loop. With the cat running away when you get close, I had to find a walkthrough online to figure out how to interact with him.) But despite all of that working against my personal tastes, it's unique take on its time travel narrative and its overall twisting story kept me highly engaged. It's rare that I see a narrative where I earnestly can't tell where I'm being taken. And my wife and I had a great deal of fun guessing what the next twist would be just to have our ideas upended again and again and again. Not to mention that it has one of the most satisfying and heartwarming endings I think I've ever seen this side of the A ending of Valkyrie Profile. I agree with almost everything you said here and the game defiantly ranks highly among my personal top 10 games. Not only that but I think I'm a better and more rounded gamer for having played it. I'm overjoyed that I blind bought it and it will remain a crown jewel in my collection for years to come. Also, my favorite character was by far-and-away best girl Yuki Takamiya. Fight me.

My only reasoning for not getting this ATM is trying to get a PS5 which will put me in the hole for a month or two already. I think it was poor timing with Cyberpunk and the new consoles everyone is already looking at the future. I might have even waiting and put it out on the PS5 (is this in 4K?) just to be like hey here's a new game for you while you wait for more. IDK but I do know I love Vanillaware so this will be a purchase at some point. Maybe bringing it to PC might be the best course.

I played on base PS4 so it def wasn't 4k for me. I don't think pro had the option either. That said this video is in 4k cause KZbin's compression is awful.

Well - I would have loved to buy and play that game... If they had released it on the PC also. Sorry - I am not going to buy a PlayStation 4 to play this game. That's simply too costly.... Honestly - I think they could have better sales if there was a release on the PC too, but that's only my opinion.

Hopefully they get around to porting it. Vanillaware usually sticks to sony, but they have made other trips out. Murumasa The Demon Blade at least appeared on Wii and Wii U, so it's not totally impossible!

I bought it in early october when the price on amazon dropped to "Standard retail." But at that point I was already making my way through Trails of Cold Steel IV. Needed the game and review done in time for embargo, so didn't get to start this until after.

It's more fun to play than it is to watch. I don't like RTS gameplay at all but it's fun in this game.
@TarksGauntlet3 жыл бұрын
Well it's not exactly RTS gameplay anyway. RTS games don't have turn orders or pause enemy movement when it's time for you to attack. It's just a tactical RPG with ATB turn orders in the visual style of an RTS.

@@TarksGauntlet Yeah for sure. It's just easiest to call it an RTS. The story portions are also closer to a point and click than a visual novel, but it's easier to call it a VN since it gets across what you do

The gameplay is definitely not an afterthought. They deliberately made it look and mechanically operate the way it does on purpose. It's more fun to play than it looks. Vanillaware isn't obligated to do beat em ups forever. Let them try different things. You still get just as much of their amazing art as you usually get in the story sections.

In sankaku complex: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim English Translation Rewrites Character as “Non-Binary” 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim English Translation Changes More Than Expected
@TarksGauntlet3 жыл бұрын
They don't actually rewrite a character as non-binary though. The character in question is a coder who cross-dresses and makes an off-hand joke about how "Some binaries work for me and some don't." That doesn't change their sexuality. They're quite adamant throughout the game that they are in fact a guy, hiding their identity. It's a shame so many people who never played the game or seen any of this in context have spread this so much. Yes, the localization team added a turn of phrase that wasn't in the original and made a joke related to the double entendre about the characters job and current appearance, and sure, despite the joke fitting the scene and characters maybe they shouldn't have done it, but it's been blown way out of proportion. The second article is mostly nitpicks.

Excuse the delayed answer, youtube didn't notify me. From what I understand from your comment is that some of the dialog is taken out of context and that some of the lines aren't as significant as the article makes them sound, right? I try to find authentic experiences in the media I like and get sceptical when I hear about changes in dialogues and cg. I'll have to search for the context of these scenes and come to my own conclusion. Is there a chance that you know the chapters or scenes where I can find the dialogues in question? I appreciate your answer!

@@bruhmomento2020 The only "Big" line that really caused any controversy was the one about coding and binaries. Unfortunately I don't know where that takes place. Its a long game and its mostly text based and the game is extremely non-linear, but I'm sure somebody online has it all mapped out. The controversy was certainly big enough. All you'll find in the comparison though is that the double entendre exists in one version and not the rest. Its just a joke that was inserted by the translation team. The context for this joke is his whole character, backstory and current presentation. At no point do they ever regard the character as non-binary. He is always a he. As for all the other ones in the second article that I referred to as "Nitpicks," the vast majority just seem like a normal localization job. IE - The translation of a product and contextualization of dialogue such that it produces the same effect for its new audience as was intended for the original.
