Recruit Phantoms, bind them to objects, combine them with Gadgets, and even merge them with Marona herself to unleash show-stopping abilities and sink the Shipwreck Fleet!

Marona is a young girl with the power to speak to Phantoms, the spirits of those who have passed on. Alongside her dear friend, the Phantom Ash, she sails the ocean world of Ivoire, providing aid to those in need.
But when a fleet of ghost ships attacks and separates them, it’s up to Marona and her new friend Apricot to assemble the legendary crew that defeated the ghost ships once before.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is an unconventional Strategy RPG that features free movement on a gridless map. Summon your Phantom squad members during battle by “Confining” their souls to objects on the map.
What object you Confine them to is up to you, and each different object informs their stats. Phantoms can also “Confire” with special gadget items for slow-moving but hard-hitting attacks.
In addition, Marona can “Confriend” with Phantoms to transform her appearance and access special attacks!

Play It Your Way: Create a team of allies from over 50 unit types and send them into battle! How the fight unfolds is limited only by your imagination.

Phantom Possession: Take on tactical turn-based RPG battles using the Confine system, which allows Phantoms you've befriended to combine with and possess items to battle alongside you!

Light-hearted Adventure: Marona may be on a quest to save her dear friend Ash, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be fun and new friendships to be found along the way!

I really wanted to like this game and I've put in a good bit of time on it giving it a chance. I love Disgaea and figured it'd be somewhat similar and it is but I just can't get into it. The story is long and drawn out. I find myself skipping a lot of dialogue because its just not interesting. The characters spend way too much time expressing surprise and it makes the cut scenes longer than necessary. They don't even make sense sometimes. The equipment system is confusing when it comes to merging and leveling up. I'm probably going to finish the story but I doubt I'll do much if any post game stuff like I usually do with Disgaea games. This was a disappointment.
I haven't dove too deep into the B rate SJRPG scene on Steam because it has become quite vast and convoluted over the last decade. I have been a fan of this developer since my PS2 days, when I played the first Disgaea and prequel to this for countless hours, so it has always been easy to follow their projects. There are very very few high quality games of this type, and this game offers some very unique and inventive mechanics. The negative reviews for this game seem to be people mad it had a few bugs at launch, and its not the same ugly hard to look at game the first one was, and it lost 1 or 2 layers of needless mechanic padding.

youtubeの少女紹介動画を見て始めました。 BGMが良くキャラクターもシンプルに魅力的で好みでした。 ゲーム自体は慣れるまでテンポが悪くゲームを起動するのが億劫になりがちでしたが、少し慣れるとあれもしたいこれもしたいとなり楽しくなりました。 実績も変に時間のかかるものはなく、全実績解除の強迫観念にとらわれている方も気軽にできると思います。 ただ馴れ合いが嫌いな捻くれオタクの方にはあまりおすすめできないです。
It's a shame Steam has no mixed option when reviewing games. Phantom Brave 2 has left me a bit more disappointed than i expected. Once finishing the game (and doing most of the post endgame stuff besides grinding for the super boss), i was plain up unsatisfied. The character roster is neat and playing through the game was fun until like 70-80% into the story. New system was cool until every stage turned into the same 1 2 3 with almost always the same protections (modifiers or Geo effect from Disgaea) and confining has been dumbed down by removing versatile attribute scalings which had positive and negative % into only being +10% in one stat. Had the softlock bug a few times, but you can somewhat avoid it by trying to kill large enemies with knockback into out of bounce. Story is on par with Disgaea 6, only that it manages to make the firsts game story worse. Did not help either that i paid like 100€ for all character DLC's which quality wise were... meh. Character choices themselves were cool, even from the endgame, but you can really feel that they went out of money/development time. Not worth 60€ and definitely not worth 100€. If you like the first phantom brave, wait for a sale to buy it, preferably one over 30% off
ストーリー○ キャラ○ 変身◎ UIクソ 拠点ショートカットの配置変更オプションと 戦闘ステージ内オプションメニューのカーソル初期位置にユニットステータスを持ってこい 最上段にロードなんて絶対に使わんのじゃ! あとアイテム図鑑機能あるなら未所持品に「new」マークでも付けとけ(ディスガイアで当たり前にやってることだろ、てか今後発売するゲームでもアプデ対応じゃなくて最初から付けとけ)
Les idées sont intéressantes, mais le manque de QoL donne juste la flemme d'essayer de créer plusieurs équipes. C'est dommage parce qu'il y a plein d'outil pour optimiser un peu tout comme on veut. La gestion de l'île est la pire idée possible, aucune idée de pourquoi dès qu'on achète un objet il pop au sol sur l'île, ou des mates qui courent comme des poulets sans tête, c'est juste chiant. Un prochain opus plus réfléchi, plus optimisé serait le bienvenu !
Oke, the start was rough. But this game is filled with so much joy and loveable characters. The glitches are fixed and I personally think it is an amazing journey form start to end. Also, the dlc characters are nostalgic, fun and you can start this journey over again with a complete other team.
I'm still shocked we even got this (there cant be that many left at NI after all the blowups), but I'm also still glad it came out. Now, like the Eiyuuden game from last year, it's not quite the manic wide-open creativity to a Zappa OST-meets-adorable empathetic children's tale to the extent of the first. It's incredibly sedate this go around; and if I may, a bit watered down. It's stretched out with reused plot, Non-Sicko Game powerups in the place of a few of the first's mechanics, and there's also a real problem with soft and hard crashes here and there. That said, it has an extensive options menu (remove hold to accept!), and it's still got that charm and weirdness enough for new players to NI's weirder fare.
A good sequel to the original. The first one's story is better but a lot of mechanics have been refined. I didn't care for the vehicles though. For a pirate themed game, steal could use refinement. I tended to lean heavily on the thieves class with daggers and one angler with a fish...
待ち望んでいた甲斐がありました。 とても細かく作りこまれていて楽しかったです
