I love this game. As a huge Monolithsoft and Soraya Saga fan, I finally got to play this game. Sadly, this game never released in the west, and with that, it is stuck in Japan, though gladly there is an English fan translation for it, which is mostly finished, besides the glossary, which has some character information. First of all, I love the intro and title screen of the game; it has something really magical about it. And by the way, this game has a space elevator in it, just like Xenosaga Episode III, it's fantastic. The gameplay is also really fun. I like the idea of the different classes, which can make every playthrough unique. Personally, I used the "Battlers" class and had much fun with it. I guess it's a pretty good choice for a first playthrough of the game. Regarding the music, it's from Yasunori Mitsuda, so the music is great. The story and the characters are also fantastic, and as a huge fan of Soraya Saga as a writer, it was really nice to experience it.
I hope this game will get a remaster for the Switch and, with that, a release in the West. It totally deserves it, and I think it wouldn't be too difficult to put it on the switch, the touchscreen isn't required at all for the game, and the second screen also isn't really needed for the most part, and certainly everything could be put easily on one screen.
If you are a fan of Monolithsoft, Tetsuya Takahashi or Soraya Saga, then I really recommend you to give the game a try. I at least had a great time with the game.

The story feels like a beta to Xenoblade 2 (which I'm a huge fan of) so it was very interesting to look into.

I checked this game out as a Monolith Soft fan. The story was very good, and the music is PHENOMENAL, but I really did not enjoy actually playing the game most of the time. I would say that's likely my own fault for choosing a bad class to play as on your first playthrough. I was browsing Japanese forum boards and they all said "I don't recommend choosing the Somas class for your first playthrough".

Choose your class wisely. The Somas class is a miserable experience. I hear other classes are much more fun but I have no experience in that yet.

Fun game xc enjoyer.
You can try it out while waiting for xc3

Esto esta bien de verdad, no me lo esperaba.

the only reason i havent given it a 5 stars is because of the difficulty running it and the lack of a translation makes it hard to play

if youre a big monilithsoft fan this game is super interesting to play. i wanna try the multiplayer sometime real bad

Soma Bringer fica naquele grupo questionável de RPGs-obscuros-japoneses-que-ninguém-jogou-porque-não-foi-localizado-mas-é-um-jogaço.

Graças ao uso de IPS e uma comunidade dedicada de fãs o jogo recebeu uma tradução não-oficial e pode ser jogado quase na íntegra, com pouca coisa pendente.

Ele fica fácil entre um dos melhores RPG do DS, com foco pesado na jogabilidade, marcada pela customização e exploração similar a diablolikes.

É um excelente action RPG com diversas opções e jogabilidade gostosa, apesar das peculiaridades do DS. Há elementos que remetem de fato a Diablo, como a perda de experiência ao falhar em uma missão, limitada ao level atual.

A história não é tão inspirada, mas não soa genérica, e a direção de arte é bem decente. A trilha sonora do Yasunoda Mitsuda foi um desafio a parte pro compositor e se destaca positivamente também.

Infelizmente não pude concluí-lo na época pois a tradução ainda não estava avançada o suficiente, mas pretendo voltar e terminar.
