SOME TIME AGO!!!!!

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

Alright, I did some research and found out that Growlanser's release titles are just as ****ed up as Wonder Boy, Megami Tensei, and Legend of Heroes/Dragon Slayer.

Okay...

Growlanser: Generations (US) edition is actually Growlanser II: The Sense of Justice and Growlanser III: The Dual Darkness.

Now...

Growlanser: Heritage of War (US) edition is actually Growlanser V: Generations.

Yeah...

All the games are connected together as a series too so playing Generations (US) means you're missing out on all of the first story and playing Heritage of War means we're missing out on the 4th game's story.

I still plan on buying it, but I really wish localization wasn't so friggin difficult.

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

No! Growlanser 5 is not connected to 1-4 AT ALL. That's why they are releasing it instead of 1 or 4. Localization isn't difficult at all.

3 is a prequel to 1&2 so the only story you miss out on is 1.

But yeah, they could have titled it Growlanser 5: Generations, but that really would have left buyers confused.

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

I bought this today...they had two copies at Gamestop. I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to playing it, as I really don't play my PS2 anymore, but I have it now in case I really get the urge to own it later and am not able to. So for the time being, I'll leave it in the plastic, wait a couple of years, and see how much it's going for on ebay.

lol.

You can order it on EBGames.com still. I'm going to wait until I get Generations (Dang UPS Value...), see if I like it, then possibly get HoW. From what I hear, it's not selling out to fast.

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

I bought heritage of war... probably won't even remove the plastic. The screenshots I saw looked pretty lame so someone tell me how it is.

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

You people buy games for all the wrong reasons....

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

I collect games more than I play them. To me, they're like bottle caps except they cost 59 USD more.

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

Well, at least you are giving money to Atlus. Maybe they will release VI.

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

So has anyone actually played the game yet? And I agree with Marcus, all the pictures on the game cases look pretty lame, all the lead characters wear tight plastic pants.

I mean...


Tight pants, wierd shawl on his back...


Tight pants... odd finger motion...


Is the guy in the front middle being impaled by a giant sword or somthing? =-P


Tight pants... Long pants... long legs...


This one actually looks realtively normal.


Tight pants... again =/


Normal ^.^

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

Way to judge a game by its cover.

[Karim]

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

Hard to judge it by much else, considering how little exposure the game has gotten.

So anyway, is it good? Or mediocre for anyone who isn't a fan of the series? There's still no reviews.

=P

I wasn't judging the game, just it's cover. The game could be fantastic, I'm just saying the covers are teh ghey.

[Red Dragon]

Re: TODAY!!!!!!

I still have it in the mail,

To be fair Generations has 2 completly different covers.



I can't find a pic of the other one, both aren't bad though.

Re: TODAY!!!!!!



Here's the other, it was from the Deluxe edition, which included a watch and other stuff.
