   This game is awesome.

   This is the best example of how storytelling can be done in a game. The characters all have a depth lacked by most other RPGs.
   
   Each aspect as this is unique:
   The method of Story Telling
   Exploration on the World Map
   Combat, oh the Combat.
   Crafting.
   
   Each of these makes the small flaws in the game not worth mentioning. Easily the best game on the X-box 360.… Expand

It is esoteric, as in, it will appeal most to those who associate RPGs with games like Final Fantasy or Parasite Eve- Mainly, the original Parasite Eve. What makes this game so addicting are the grid system (using hexes to unlock areas on a map- think of using hexes like puzzle pieces), the gameplay that is more formulaic than repetitive, and little things that may take a bit of time to get used to but once comprehended can lead to some epic battles. The graphics are reminiscent of Shadow Hearts or Final Fantasy VIII, however; a gripe I have is that the customized weapons (another interesting facet) do not appear in the battle. The only major fault in the game is when the team goes into what is called "critical condition," where recovery is nigh-impossible, and the boss battles will seem equally impossible if someone can't get the battle system down.
   
   To summarize: Resonance of Fate has to be the most innovative RPG I have played on the XBOX 360, incorporating so many elements that to those few players who are looking for RPGs that play more like older RPG games this is practically perfect. It does get pretty technical when it comes to weapon customization and battle mechanics, however, it is easy enough to figure out if one has patience. The story is a bit banal, not because of being cliche, it's just nothing very interesting or compelling: the cut scenes are pretty short. Even so and much regardless, this is a definite must have for fans of action RPGs who don't mind having to work with a game that is very unique and standalone.… Expand

The only thing that puts off a lot of people is the incredibly steep learning curve, but once you master the combat mechanics (don't worry, the boss battles will still be nightmarishly difficult) you get a VERY fun, yet challenging game. The music is quite catchy without ever becoming boring. The storyline is vague because each chapter tells a different story, but there is a lot of humorous moments without becoming too "Japanesque". This game was released shortly after FF13 and in my opinion Resonance of Fate is the game to choose if you are a true rpg lover looking for a challenge.… Expand

   If I could define Resonance of Fate with one word, I should say that the fun factor is what can make it worth to play.

   Resonance of Fate another game from Tri-Ace, a publisher that take many mistakes in almost every game made. But, fortunately, RoF is out of the rule.
   
   Resonance of Fate has one of most incredible combat - system the i have played. The system is not easy to mastery but, after some hours of gameplay, you will able to do well. If you understand the combat system, you will be able to plan tactics and strategy.
   
   The visual effects are incredible, and the characters are VERY CHARISMATICS. At the end of game you will miss their misadventures. Be advice: You won't forget Leanne, Zephyr and, specially, Vashyron. The voice acting is pretty good. Too different of another famous game of Tri-Ace (Star Ocean).
   
   The bad side of Resonance of Fate: The narrative.
   
   Most people blame the story of the game as the problematic part. But the is history is good, if you understand that. What is the problem then ? It's very simple: Tri - Ace took the BIZARRE decision of put the introductions cutscene (Prologue of the world and the main characters) off the game itself. SO if you want to watch this videos you need to WAIT IN THE MENU TILL THE VIDEO START TO PLAY. DON'T STAR TO PLAY BEFORE IT!
   
   The narrative is really confusing, so you need around 3 playthrough to really get all the story. Because the narrative isn't the only problem, but the story is REALLY COMPLEX. The story tell about many thing: Religion, seven sins, conception of god, modernity, complex of messiah, allegory of father and son (Vashyron and Zephyr) and etc, etc, etc. And the division on chapters doesn't help it.
   
   Do worthy to play ? Absolutely! But be advice of the problems. You can be disappointed if wait too much, after all is it still a game of Tri-Ace.… Expand

UnUn jeu de rôle comme seuls les Japonais ne savent pas le faire, tout le contraire de ce qu'on doit faire dans un jeu de rôle, ils le font. Un système de combat ni en temps réel ni en tour par tour mais surtout totalement abscons et hermétique : c'est de la merde mais c'est "original" et du coup nombre de pisse-copies crient au génie : " c'est frais" ou "c'est rafraîchissant". Certes mais c'est surtout et avant tout une merde injouable.
   
   Graphiquement c'est passable (en étant très indulgent) et souvent de mauvais goût. C'est un jeu (comme tous les jeux de rôle japonais) qui donne l'impression d'être resté coincé dans les années 90 : difficulté aberrante, histoire bâclée, narration à la rue, présentation horrible. L'ensemble est répétitif, niais et mièvre à se tirer une balle.… Expand
