I personally feel this game was so criminally underrated when it first released. It’s become something of a cult classic in a way for its jokes some intended some not, trying to be in the jrpg save the world but they all fight with guns in semi real time in self contained spaces separate from the map. It’s also got that era style where everything is grey and bleak. Anyway anyone else like or dislike this game?

Here’s an article just how our there it was with the times and bold in what it attempted

Never got more than a few hours into it because I never knew what the f I was doing during combat.

The in game tutorial is basically legendary for being the WOAT. A 10 minute YouTube video will show you what you need to know about regular damage vs scratch, positions of each character when you move every turn to form a triangle and pull off team attacks, etc. it’s realy a lot of fun. It combines a game like final fantasy but more mature with guns and a tactics style game like fire emblem

Combat can be a bit like the soulsborne series in way as to say there’s a click moment eventually and it’s like a dance

This, together with the patience you may need to have with the combat, can be so off-putting especially for impatient people (me), that this otherwise mild-mannered person would like to shake someone at tri-ace because it seems that this game is just intentionally making it harder for itself to be liked. I was rooting for you, Resonance of Fate. We were all rooting for you. Like so many JRPGs, Resonance of Fate could probably have done with at least 10 hours less, but it is still a JRPG, out to gently innovate, not outright revolutionise. You absolutely have to stick with it though, because this is, and always has been, a worthy contender to Final Fantasy, especially Final Fantasy 13, which was released the same month as the EU version of Resonance of Fate back in 2010. There are even similar story beats to both, from humanity being controlled by a higher power to characters defying their pre-determined fate. Resonance of Fate may not tell its story with the same sort of confidence Final Fantasy does, but the characters grow on you the same way, it looked great even before its recent 4K remaster and it boasts a fantastic soundtrack to boot.

Here’s even a direct wuote from the linked article about that point. It 100% was all about innovation and something new so I think that makes it worth trying if you’re into these types of games
