Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero

I really enjoy the game. The mechanics are fun. It has a lot of customization. The characters are lovable and each get so much screen time.

超级喜欢，非常好玩！

I feel like the Story is exactly what you'd expect from a Phantom Brave sequel, I definitely liked some mechanics more in the original, but I like some of the new stuff too. I think the fusion/Confriend mechanic was a clever way to keep Marona's place as a unit that has one really powerful aspect by being the only unit without a turn limit, but also make her power be largely from the phantoms she summons, that is a clever way to make the phantoms more important while not making Marona any less important. I do think the price is a bit high considering the massive bugs it had prior to this update. But with that bug supposedly fixed, I will now say I do actually enjoy this game, and think as a game it deserves a positive review. The corpse bouncing bug caused multiple issues, including frame-drops too, not just the potential softlock, and with that fixed, I say it's a good game, but shouldn't have cost as much as it did, especially with the content that should have been included being sold as paid DLC.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero è arrivato sul mercato con la grazia di un elefante in una cristalleria, o meglio, di uno spirito che sbatte contro i muri a ogni passo. Al debutto le condizioni tecniche erano talmente disastrose che le recensioni negative si sono accumulate in un istante, a causa di bug e rallentamenti che rendevano l'esperienza una vera prova di nervi. Sembrava quasi che l'universo cospirasse contro Marona, con prestazioni così incerte da far rimpiangere la stabilità di ere geologiche passate. Fortunatamente gli sviluppatori hanno deciso di rimboccarsi le maniche e le ultime patch hanno eliminato i demoni tecnici che infestavano il codice. Adesso il titolo gira con una fluidità invidiabile e mette in mostra una direzione artistica sbalorditiva, che cattura l'occhio in ogni scenario. La meccanica del "Confine" e la libertà tattica delle mappe senza griglia regalano un divertimento costante, privo di quei fastidiosi intoppi che ne oscuravano il valore. È diventato finalmente il gioiellino che i fan desideravano, capace di farsi perdonare ogni scivolone iniziale con una qualità che ora splende davvero.

Absolutely loving it! I only started played the game after the bugs that plagued the initial release had been patched out, and haven't run into any of the bugs that initially helped earn this game a 'mixed' review. I'm about 7 hours in, fresh off a 56 hour play through of the OG Phantom Brave. The quality of life changes are straight up *excellent*, and make the map-to-map gameplay soooo much more addictive/fun/less frustrating compared to the first one (without having to 'break the game' as a prerequisite, lol). I'm finding the characters and their interactions to be charming, and very much in line with the vibes of the previous game. While I do sometimes miss elements of the beautiful pixel art from the original, I feel like the extra animation work they've been able to do with the new 3D models has made for a solid enough trade. And I'm just glad there's a modern NIS game with the unique 'sphere movement' combat style. If you could only play one game, you can start with this one for gameplay reasons. The first game is cool, but it has a heavy "the devs don't want you to win" feel to it, and that can be a struggle to make it through. You don't really need to know anything about the previous story past knowing Marona saved the day last time, and people recognize her for it now, even though she's in an unfamiliar region. The regular gameplay is oodles smoother.

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

玩下来的体验感觉还不如（灵武战记） 首先道具属性成长居然是随机的，可能你入手的一把物理攻击武器结果等级提升以后会发现这是把智力成长最高的。。。坑人啊 还有就是副本一代的副本是有钱就能做出来做到随意刷，这次居然要先打到航海图才能做可玩性低了不少，而且伤害评定也很差，我制作了一个空手格斗角色。物理攻击1万打一个防御只有几百的敌人普通攻击只有2000左右的伤害。敌人可没有什么乱七八糟的伤害减免。试了好几个人2000伤害是均值。我就想问对面数学也是体育老师教的吗?

3Dになってから日本一のSRPGをやっていなかったが、ゲーム自体はとても面白く感じる ファントムブレイブという作品に関しては、現代に続編が出てきたというだけでもとても偉いと思う 上手く最適化できてないのか、ダンジョン潜って拠点に戻るたびに重くなっていくのだけ気になる。

Nice Good game

Reminds me of the original Phantom Brave and all the other nippon ichi tactical games. I love the INSANELY customizable army, as well as the near-infinite stats. Would recommend if that's your thing.
