Like this game enough to own the arcade board. Prefer it’s Japanese title: Vampire Hunter

A new direction for Fire Emblem. For better and worse.

The vampire survivors and Diablo 2 hybrid I didn’t know I needed.

Spectacular presentation. The opening hours really grip you and keep you engaged in the mystery, like 999/Nonary. However, I found the 3rd act kind of disjointed and rushed feeling compared to similar games, like 999.

was really fun couch co-op in 2009

The story and gameplay both feel undercooked, but it feels like final fantasy. The ending got me in my feelings, surprisingly. Glad I got through it, and am moving on to XIII-2.

I think this is still my favorite way to play the first two games. But I haven't tried Dragon Quest + yet.

The king of contemporary JRPGs for me. Only SMTV: Vengeance seems capable of dethroning it.
