  1. Resonance of Fate is definitely for hardcore RPG fans only, but at the same time the map and combat systems make it substantially different from anything you’ll have likely played before.

    despite all of the negative reviews about the games silly nature or steep learning curve this game is superb... Anything worth having is worth working for or towards and that is what makes it that much more enjoyable. screw game informers diagnosis of this game for whoever played it had no idea what a good rpg is. further more they obviously don't understand the rpg player. This game is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is now a days given more attention in the graphics department than the story and gameplay. Full Review »

    not only does it provide a breathe of fresh air into the JRPG genre; Its combat system is innovative and difficult to the point that you have to enjoy it if you're a true gamer and want a challenge. I would play this over the linear stale FF13 any day and i have purchased both. Full Review »

    Resonance of Fate is what the world of RPG's needed. It has a perfect balance of what everyone should expect from a JRPG. I am very happy to say that I decided to get this over Final Fantasy XIII. Great graphics, great story, and very unique gameplay. The music in the game is also excellent. I recommend this game to any RPG or video game fan that has a next gen console. Keep up the good work Tri Ace! Full Review »
