Fairy Tail - Globku Review

[@mathewhosier9739]

Nah that's kind of a casual mindset, like the kind of ppl who will buy a game only because of the series or Fandom the game takes place in, most gamers buy games based on the game genre, not the theme of the game, this game obviously caters to fans of turn based JRPGs, while I agree that fairy tail fans will be more likely to enjoy it but if you don't like turn based JRPGs then your not going to enjoy this game, I mean how many casual gamers bought minecraft dungeons because it was a minecraft game and had never played an ARPG before, obviously a fan of ARPGs will be more likely to enjoy minecraft dungeons, serious gamers buy games based on the genre and not based on the series or fandom

I haven't finished the game yet, because I'm taking it pretty casually during the evenings, but even as a huge fairy tail fan, I'd say... wait for as sale, anything between $20-40, I agree with the biggest problem being that for most people it was priced at $60. Despite the day 1 patch controversy and all, I cant say that I wasn't having fun. Although, building on what Globku mentioned, the game is great when you get to freely explore, but was a little annoying at the beginning when the tutorials lasted a bit too long... in the end, I would recommend the game, just not as a $60 purchase... and again, I say this as someone who made a bunch of close friends because of this series.

Regarding your take on that people who have never watched Fairy Tail won't understand what's going on since you're dumped halfway through, the game has an encyclopaedia, character bio and story recap as one of the options when you open the menu, and it even stands out by having a big glowy "NEW" next to them.

[@totallynotasith4501]

I think it’s good to note that the specific example that he mentions of being able to kill enemies 20 lvls higher it’s only possibly true at endgame when your characters have achieved their max lvl/versions of their Magic you cannot do it with there lower magic as your characters will take too much damage and you cannot damage them

It would make sense. The fairy tale characters do like to blow away hoards of foes and there could be some interesting move sets, along with plenty of vibrant destinations and the music potential is crazy, if you have heard any of the pirate warriors ost then you know what im talking about. That would be a must buy game for me. Also to be fair, they were working on pirate warriors 4 and persona 5 scramble as the same time, so if it was planned then they probably didn't want to saturate the market.

For me FT is a 7.5/10. Pros: - A lot of content (45-55 hours of gameplay including post game content) - Light rpg (dislike very grind heavy rpgs) - Funny dialogue scenes - Grid Battle mechanic - Background Music Cons: - Performance (frame rate drops) - Lack of variety in enemies - Repetitive quests - Towns are hollow and lifeless despite the good aesthetics ( you can walk through people, a lot of character models are reused literally in many streets you can see 2-3 repeats of characters).

Ah dang... I'm bummed to hear that the brute force thing persists throughout the game.

Sometimes when the story is weak in games, I can have fun, if the battles are strategic.

[@Rhonder517]

From A-F, I definitely agree with the D score from what I've played so far! Point for point your review pretty much summarizes my thoughts to a T. To preface, I bought this game at launch both as a fan of Fairy Tail but also as a fan of Gust's Atelier RPG series. Having the two meet in the middle sounded like a phenomenal experience. Upon first starting I thought the game was a blast. The combat system is pretty enjoyable and as said you gain levels and new spells and guild upgrades and etc. at a swift enough pace to hit those dopamine rushes and just have a good time all around. The missing character models at first aren't too jarring since the game focuses more on the side quests and such which I find to be the strongest part of the game. But... now that I'm ~10 hours in and 2 days into the Grand Magic Games arc, the jenkiness of the presentation and (as said in this review) *especially* the main story quests are really really offputting and immersion breaking. I fully believe that for all of the in-engine style cut scenes they should have considered another delivery method that might have fit better within their budget constraints- perhaps taking on a visual novel style presentation or making more use of stills from the anime (which I've seen in other reviews that they do in places later on) to at least convey what's going on in an understandable manner. The more characters that get introduced and become story relevant, the more the huge amount of missing character models becomes a big detriment to the game's presentation. Introducing the teams at the Grand Magic Games and having Quatro Cerberus have no models and no anime still showing them is straight awkward... the camera just pans to an empty section of arena and makes believe that they're there. The same goes for Raven Tail despite one of their members, Flare, having a character model. Even before that, the qualifier for the tournament, the Sky Labyrinth, being reduced to a short cutscene in a generic looking hallway with 2 fights is... just hugely disappointing as someone who was looking forward to re-experiencing some of these hype moments from the series. It feels like they tried to do too much with the means that they had and ended up casting a wide but shallow net. The parts that are good are really good (the character models that *are there*, the side quests with small stories attached to them, the character bond/story moments, the battle system, at least at a conceptual level) but when placed next to the bad parts, which are *really bad* (jenky cutscenes, stingy voice acting, small and few explorable areas, small enemy variety) it ends up feeling like it doesn't quite add up to the sum of its parts. They could have probably achieved something better if they had just focused on the good parts without shoehorning in the parts they couldn't afford to execute well. Maybe tell an original story that just involves the characters that they were able to include or something, yeah? That way the cutscenes wouldn't have to be so jarring and they still have the same amount of characters and voice actors and etc. It's particularly disappointing because even though Gust has always put out AA RPGs, usually they feel (to me at least) like they're well put together and cohesive. I had no qualms paying $60 for something like Atelier Ryza, or $40 for some of their vita games, but this feels really overpriced at $60. I think on sale would be better. All said I'm still enjoying my time with the game and looking forward to playing it all the way through... but I'll be far more skeptical next time. Put too much blind faith in the devs this time lol

I’m loving the game so far but it is definitely too easy. I’m a huge fairy tail fan so this was a must buy and it’s pretty faithful to the series despite the cut corners. If the game were cheaper I would place it as a B but currently I’d say a C is about right for me.

[@TheThatwhiteguy]

Anyone else come here looking for that weird angery fairy tail fan in the comments?

[@EsperConductor]

Hmm...yeah, after the review, I can say. Still think I do want it, but definitely don't feel I'm missing out by not getting it anytime soon, haha. Great Job on the review, man! 👍

It ain't no d more like B

[@MayHugger]

@@charlescc58 Eh, more a C.

[@potatosword4644]

This game feels like an Atelier game but without the alchemy and the quirky atelier writing. Hell there's literally some reused assets from Atelier Ryza and a freakin barrel easter egg right outside the guild hall.

[@michaelbishop2283]

" Instead of strategizing the game just wants you to brute force your way through most encounters." Yup sounds like Fairy Tail lol

[@HalozillaEX]

Anyone else do a double take when he said “innovative?” 😄

[@meccquest13]

I want to support this game because its not an arena fighter but its also priced at $60 and it definitely doesn't look like it should have the same price point as a triple A game.

[@Kadeda]

It always bugs me when people say hard mode isn't harder but make enemies hit harder and make them spongier, making fights longer. Then they say something like it's not harder and go back to normal. Feels kind of like excuses of not playing on hard mode. The hell else does hard mode for an rpg suppose to be?

[@xinf3ctdx]

It's not awful, but I can definitely agree with the idea that the game doesn't innovate enough or do enough with its combat system. Certain characters have interesting gimmicks. Juvia has a Regeneration skill that she can use and she ends up getting an ability where she gets her attack buffed by a percentage for every character who has the regeneration, and that gets increased when she's on a team with Gray. But it requires so much setup and it requires you to double down on Water Element characters (not that it matters that much anyway because of how little type effectiveness matters) that you're better off just picking someone like Wendy, who can heal way better and can give buffs to the entire team, not just herself. And then speaking of Wendy, you'll also have characters that are just inferior versions of others. Sherria is literally just Wendy without the ability to buff people. Laxus is a worse Natsu. Juvia is a worse Gray with bad healing. Rogue is kind of a worse Gajeel. Lucy is a jack of all trades, except she sucks at everything. There are definitely certain characters that you won't ever use unless you just like them a lot. Like, there's no reason to use Sherria over Wendy. And then the fanservice isn't even done that great either. Every character has three relationship meters with every other character that you can rank up to get benefits between the two characters, and each rank will give you a little interaction between the two characters... except it only does it for some characters and skips out on character pairs that you'd think would definitely get one. Natsu and Rogue get interaction scenes, but not Gajeel and Rogue or even Sting and Rogue. The entire game feels like it was not finished before it was pushed out. It's not a bad game, though. If you like Fairy Tail, you'll probably enjoy it. Probably.

[@kevinthebandit582]

The game is decent

Unfortunatelty so. Its just decent but could have been great with a few adjustments or additions.

[@herothinker4846]

@@kytsunee6324 I'm a FT fan and didnt get triggered and I also dont think the game is great but it isnt bad either but maybe its just because I try to view everything with as little bias as possible. The game is not worth it for non FT fans.

@@herothinker4846 that's an issue of many Anime games, they are not good for non fans, heck to me MHOJ wasn't worth it to anyone besides MyHero fans but the second game feels like it could bring some non fans (tho it's still better to watch the show before playing)

[@Fae05]

I been playing the game almost religiously since it launched on switch. As someone who plays nothing but JRPGs, whether it be the Atelier Series, Tales, Final Fantasy, etc, this game is pretty decent. The battle system is what carries this game for me and without it, I doubt I would be able to play it as much as I do. It's a downgrade from what you would get from most JRPGs but not in a bad way, but in a way that you can play without much thought and still have fun. Personally it's a 7/10 for me. If you want a JRPG to just play and not give much thought to, I'll recommend this on sale.

[@qur1578]

My score for Fairy Tail in relation to the other anime games released this year is it’s better than One Punch Man, Kakarot and SAO but not as good as One’s Justice 2, Pirates Warriors 4 or Granblue. I still honestly find it refreshing compared to Arena Fighters and Musou games.

[@e1iteyoshi998]

Ehh i still think Kakarot is better than SAO and OPM.

[@qur1578]

E1ite Yoshi yeah it’s definitely a more quality game then those are. I just didn’t care for it personally

[@cyon1697]

Why do you think it's better then granblue?

[@HowlingGuild]

Yeah, it's a alright game. I'd say it's on the more positive end of anime licensed video games.

[@manifesttunnel5865]

That rank is not true because I love this game and anime for this game made me relive theough the whole anime and made me feel great and the systems in this game is good and I gave this game an A even though there is no VAs in certain cutscenes due to issues with the VAs being in hospitals or something else and I love the scenes that made me laugh and if you gave a game a poor grade then it means you do not have entertainment values because fairytail gave it all of that.

[@mashyu876]

It's a very good game for the switch. Very comfy game that you can just relax and play in handheld mode. Don't think it'd be a good fit for the ps4 tho.

[@lapsedilationdrive3943]

Not a good fit for the ps4? Lmao what kind of logic is that? People can play whatever the platform they wanted and there is no such thing as a "comfy and casual" game that suits the switch more just because its a handheld.

[@zeroanimation3956]

weakness? what weakness? elemental weakness just a gimmick, just use Natsu all the time...

[@ErosMorelli]

Just wait about a month or two and the game will be on sale in no time

[@viatrix5844]

tbh this would've been a cool game for mobile or switch or something. the game, aside from the overworld stuff, looks mobile game af.

[@brokenbond2012]

The game is great, its not perfect but it does alot of things right and it remains pretty faithful to the overall story, I'd say it's at least an 8/10 those saying otherwise need to understand this is gusts first rpg away from the atelier series, so they deserve some slack. As for lack of characters and models, there is already additional character DLC confirmed so I imagine our party roster will grow in time, as for actual in game models they can add those in with future updates. As much as I like globku I feel like this review is unfair since he admits himself he doesn't really like fairy tail and stopped following it a while ago, but that's just my opinion. The game is definitely better than a D, The models look great, the action is amazing, the animations are great, and the story is mostly there. They definitely left the potential for another game covering the war with zeref and the 100 year quest arc

I think the game is better than DBZ Kakarot tbh

[@nalod2087]

1:03 wow what the fuck?! those things are defying physics

[@Toval1095]

Agreed. Definitely not the best game, but not the worst game. Only reason I bought this at full price was because decent turn-based jrpgs are my jam, but they're so hard to come by nowadays. This game somewhat fills the void in my life while i'm waiting for cold steel 4, but 80$ (CAD) is too much to ask for.

[@AnimaNovum]

I agree with your points. I am a huge ft fan myself and for the fact that its the first fairy tail game that reaches europe it was a must buy. Plus i liked gusts atlier series too. But man... its so rough to try to not pay too much attention to the problems this game has... I dont mention the big points because you got them covered already. But a few details that are pretty big in their own regards considering its a game for fans. Did you notice that every char that has a visual unique special form (like dragon force forms oder grays devil slayer) they are only visualized for the standard costumes. If like to wear another costume you can activate the special form but no special look anymore. Huge bummer for a fan imo. Another Problem is how meaningless all the battlemechanics are that are introduced to you in the story, for example natsus trademark: eating fire. You can do it... but only in one fight in the entire game! Seriously... whats even the point of implementing it? But the worst part is introduced today: the dlc aka the seamingly main reason for the delay in release because game quality obviously wasnt it... 6/10 from a sad fan heart :/ Wanted to recommend it to fans first but now i just cant bring myself to do that anymore

[@J-leaf]

I really wanted to introduce my friend to fairy tale, and since he's a gamer I thought this game would do...only to find out that it starts halfway through the f**king series, the game is basic....just basic it would probably work as a high ps3 game buuuuuuuut it wasn't, even if you just play it for fun and not care what the story is for, it's not really a good RPG game either, since you can just put it on autopilot even on the hardest difficulty you just watch and don't even lift a finger, still the gameplay is just...meh...same with the story since it's just a rewatch but poorly animated, unchanged and most importantly BOOOOOORIIIIIIIIING...except for the fan services...hey I'm a simple man...I see anime boobs, I put a like on it...BUT THAT ALONE DOESN'T CHANGE MY GENERAL OPINION OF THE GAME!.....The homemade cutscene isn't bad but I have seen better on different anime games with but it's still okay...I know some of you might disagree on me especially since Globku has recently talked about it, but this is actually one of those series who actually had the potential to be a good arena fighter if they could use a different spin on it.

[@Hanamanini]

The game is pretty good if you like the show. It has a lot of cheeky fandom references that also explain some of the cutscenes

[@mathewhosier9739]

Nah, this caters more to fans of turn based JRPGs, only casuals buy games regardless of the genre, I thought minecraft was one of the dumbest games I've ever seen but I loved minecraft dungeons, not because it was a minecraft game but because I love ARPGs, I love the mainline persona games because I love turn based JRPGs, but I didn't like persona 5 strikers, not because it was a persona game but because I don't like musuo games, being a fan of a particular series or Fandom doesn't mean your going to enjoy a game set in that world, you also have to enjoy the genre of game it is, I'm not a big fan of sword art online but I love the games because I like action RPGs, I don't need to be a fan of a particular series to enjoy a game that takes place in that world, I just have to enjoy the gameplay and style of game

[@taihejones5192]

I give this game a B ig just because 1. I don't play many rpgs and I don't like many of them like final fantasy etc. 2. I like how it looks and it's pretty simple and easy to understand 3. Characters are cool looking 4. Series is cool and 5. Cool experience for me who is getting reintroduced into rpgs

[@aintthatapotofeffluck8926]

This game is proof once again that unless you’re Dragonball and Naruto, anime games are never given the budget they need to escape from that “arena fighter” grasp. Which is why so many anime games just default to being an arena fighter or musou game - they have no choice, those are cheap games to make and any time they try to do something different, they don’t have the budget and fall flat on their faces..

[@tomgiddens2963]

I was willing to spend $60 for the game at my local Gamestop but was mislead that the physical game was there when it wasn't. Closest place to get it was over 60 miles away. Could of gotten it online but have no wifi. At any rate, Guess I won't be getting it. Look like fun. Love the anime. It rawks.
