Edge Of Eternity

Edge of Eternity is a backwards attempt at making a JRPG by western developers who pretty clearly had no idea what they were doing. It looks and plays like an early Xbox 360 game despite being developed between around 2017 and 2023, and is a pastiche of things ripped from other, better games filled with mechanics that feel like they exist solely so that the developers could say they do. The game starts with a plot ripped directly from Star Ocean 2: you have a medieval fantasy realm at war with a spacefaring civilization that has dropped Galactic Ebola on them, and your plucky protagonist, a teenage idiot with hair that looks like it was welded on, is out to save his family from it and end the war. I knew at this point that it was not going to be a good game, but it gets [i]so much worse[/i]. The gameplay is a frankensteined monstrosity of the first Xenoblade game and the PS1-era Final Fantasy games, except with even worse pacing issues than either of those games had. It's a game stuck in 1999 made in an era where even the companies who made the games that "inspired" this one were focused on streamlining their games and removing the boring parts. The game takes place entirely on one contiguous world map, which looks exactly like launch World of Warcraft in that it's overly large and empty. This is where things start getting stupid. The world map takes approximately forever to navigate if you use the default movement options, which include simply walking (very slow) and sprinting (slightly less slow but still too slow). You do get a mount, but it's also really slow even when sprinting. The fastest movement option is mashing R1, which makes your character do a sword lunge that's meant to be used on enemies to give you a pre-emptive attack against them but also launches him forward around 10 meters every time you do it. Mashing R1 is faster than the mount's sprint speed, which is one of the most backwards things I've ever seen in game design. The battles also make no sense because of how the game is balanced. You start each battle with full HP and MP, and so there's very little reason for you to ever use physical attacks given that you're almost never going to run out of MP unless you get into a boss fight. I'm not sure why they even had an option for physical attacks in the first place, nor am I sure why it takes three button presses to use a physical attack when there is no reason it should ever take more than two. I got bored of this half an hour in and I'm probably never going to come back to it until I uninstall it.

The Bug is so annoying , i fight the mantis like 10 times and still repeating fight the same and slow monster what a game

Задумка хорошая и, может, история неплохая, но стартовая локация уже отбивает желание вливаться в сюжет. Очень странный левелдизайн и бои не ощущаются совсем.

Muy malo, aburrido y genérico, lo compre hace mucho tiempo en early access, intente darle una oportunidad con todas mis fuerzas, pero no hay chances. Le metí muchas horas intentando de que me convenciera que valió la pena lo gastado, pero ya me rindo.

This game is honestly pretty fun. The characters are interesting and the banter is well written. There are some rough edges here with some of the translations and the character's/npc's can glitch out a bit but it's not bad enough to worry about. The story is interesting enough to grab your attention, the battles can make you think (Especially on harder difficulties). It's a shame the studio got liquidated, I think they were really doing something good here.

not as polished as most games, but still a decent jrpg experience. its worth the price

I desperately want to like it more then I do but, it's just not very good.

評価を見て購入。 台詞の日本語翻訳は本当にひどい。特に名無しNPCとの会話は意味が通じにくいレベルではなく頑張って脳内変換しても理解不能。 戦闘は「戦略的だ」という評価も見たが、私には単調で退屈。 我慢してプレイを続けたが武器作成のチュートリアルでパッドの操作を受け付けない事態が発生した。マウス操作も併用してその状況から抜け出し武器を作成したが、チュートリアル状態が解除されずワークベンチの周辺から離れられなくなった。ここでプレイ断念。
