- Don't mind paying for content on a (purposely) content-lacking game

Dragon's Crown



An excellent arcade action game with lots of rpg features, including the usual town with shops and tavern, a customizable party, many weapons and other equipment and very different classes with a few "talent" choices.

It plays a bit like a button masher with different styles for each class. I tried the Knight who I used a lot in aerial attaks and block+counter.



Playing solo may get boring because the combat gets repetitive but the online multiplayer is very fun to play, specially with friends.

The story is the usual medieval theme, save the world from dragons and other epic enemies. I usually skipped all the dialog.

It is a 2d game with scroll 3d movement a la Golden Axe. The art design is excellent, it looks specially beautiful on the PSVITA. Music is nice too.

Did I like it? Yes
I think you will like it if you:

Final Fantasy XIV

The second version of the second mmo featuring a world with a few Final Fantasy details like summons, black mages and chocobos.

Gameplay is the very standard "World of Warcraft" style, quests and more quests about deliveries and defeating monsters all the way to the max level where the player will start attending bigger and spectacular dungeons and fights. The combats are cooldown based with a way slower pace when compared to other games.



The amount of content is decent but lacks many basic features. The story may be cool, but it isn't what I'm looking on a mmo so I skipped most of the dialogs, there are some unskippable ones, I didn't like this because affects the game's pace.

Graphically looks very good. The interface, special effects, monsters and characters details are awesome, specially the clothes that feel very realistic. Enviroments have nice textures and modeling but they feel a bit generic and not very fantasy like. Music has nice calm melodies, with is nice to avoid repetitiveness on a mmo.



Overall is a good and addictive mmo, but it is too standard for me and has nothing special to offer rather than the FF theme.

Did I like it? Yes, but...
I think you will like it if you:
- Aren't tired of mmos

Phantasy Star Online





My first online  game! I played for tons and tons of hours though I never got any character to level 100, thats because the lack of content forced the player to repeat over and over the same missions and places.

So the main attraction here was the online gaming, being in a game with so many people, playing with them, making strong friendships in a different way than usual, everything was new and exciting for me as a teenager :P.



The combat system is a bit simplistic but fun and accesible, player can choose between a few classes (ranged, melee and mage), races and a little companion that could be feed and evolved in many different ways improving the character status and giving some special attacks.

The game had high production values so presentation, graphics, music and interface are excellent.

Did I like it? YES!

Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst

More content added, if this had come sooner PSO would have been saved for me, too bad I was already tired of it and I found some new and bigger MMORPGs.



Did I like it? Nope.

Phantasy Star Online Ep3 C.A.R.D. Revolution
Another iteration, this time using card battles, I didn't play for more than 1 hour.



Did I like it? No, I didn't.

Phantasy Star Universe

It tried to increase the mmo experience and added many improvements and also a few bad things like separating the online and offline game. To me it felt very dated, I played PSO too much and this wasn't what I wanted on a new MMO.



Did I like it? I got tired very soon.
I rate my experience with a 4.5 out of 10.

Phantasy Star Online 2
I've played the beta and the japanese release, it is entertaining and has improved in many ways, combat has more options and a different pace. Now it depends on the amount of content and customization and when the english version is released.



I rate my expectations with a 6 out of 10.
