SO IT'S OUT AND ACTUALLY HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE NOW. It's actually pretty good. And for all those haters and pseudo-haters, it doesn't really feel like an Idea Factory game at all, at least to me. Pretty sure the music is from Shigeki Hayashi, too, though I can't actually confirm that since I can't find any staff information on the stupid official site. All they care about is voice actors. Speaking of those here have a list of them (you are a greater person than me if you recognize even one of them, and official romanizations end when you see Charizard so call those characters whatever you want, especially if it's blatantly wrong like I'm hoping most of these are):
Claude: Takuya Satou Yuri: Akane Fujita Dominick: Mai Gotou Olivia: Ayumi Fujimura Morgan: Tomoyuki Higuchi Marlene: Eri Inagawa Ryan: Takashi Oohara Sasha: Yuka Inokuchi Marlon: Kousuke Takaguchi Lucy: Tomo Adachi Charizard/Daruzaado: Tomoyuki Higuchi Keroro: Tomotaka Hachisuka Heath: Hitoshi Yanai Busk/Basuku: Kousuke Takaguchi Phednes/Fedonesu: Tsuguo Mogami Lonetto/Ronetto: China Kitahara Larry Lala/Reri Rara: Takashi Oohara Angellna/if it's something else I'll kill myself: Tomoko Kobashi Demetri: Atsushi Abe Sherry/Shelly: Noriko Ueda Dullaban: Tomotaka Hachisuka Wildmore/Wirudomoa: Masayuki Katou Weird/Wiado: Tsuguo Mogami Gary/Geirii: Masayoshi Sugawara
If you were wondering about the gameplay, IT TURNS OUT PPA IS RIGHT except wait stop leaving! I promise it's better than YZ! It's got way more depth to its system! Stuff gets crazy (you have to dodge bullets)! Instead of drawing numbers with Japan's messed up idea of stroke order you press circle at the right times! Different weapons have different patterns for that, too. Different amounts of times you need to press circle for maximum effect, different shapes, different speeds (sometimes speed that changes half way through, which is why I suck at guns and scythes). Also you can summon things. Kinda cool I guess.
Also, you do everything outside of battle with AP, which you get from killing enemies and capturing/destroying objects in battle. You use it to upgrade your weapons, you use it to heal your characters (which you never have to do unless they were really really low on health or something in the last fight), and you can use it to give people more EXP... actually I'm lying, you use it to give them more AP. But they level up with AP (which they gain from battles separately from the free-use AP you get). You can also convert items to AP, which is nice when you get like five copies of an armor you wouldn't want to equip to anyone anyway.
I'm only on chapter 3. Ask me anything.
