I desperately want it to be true but seeing how they can't even get a publisher for Penny Blood I'm super upset. Is there a reason why its not getting it? Is it due to its potential to bring in high profit or not?
I'm curious to everyone else's experience: How & when did you find out about this series?
As for me who have always played ps2 console during the ps2 era (2000s) I never knew about it despite loving jrpgs. I actually knew about it like 10 years ago when I was in uni, looking up hidden gems since i was playing the ps2 emulator (since my ps2 is busted, i know its illegal but i cant find other way to play & i'm not that rich to purchase the vintage copies). Somehow i'm glad i knew abt it later as an adult since the game isnt for kids lol.
My thoughts about it is that i have nvr come across something as unique as Shadow Hearts. You would either get a horror genre game or a fantasy jrpg but they are rarely mixed together. Not to mention the dark & crude humor (which would be offensive nowadays) are just bizarre and i like it lol. Also the fact its set up in the real world + with its own fictional twist makes it feel more grounded & weird at the same time. I'm probably one of those that prefers the first game. Dont get me wrong SH2 is more polished as a game but it kinda lost its unique atmosphere & flavor. But as a jrpg its still a very well made game, SH1's voice acting was just bad & the graphics feel like its made for ps1 which makes sense considering the time it came out but the backgrounds are gorgeously drawn. Despite all that SH1 has a special place in my heart & I have yet to find something like it.
I haven't got the chance to play the 3rd one nor Koudelka so i have no say abt it.
For anyone who knew about it ever since its being released, is it true it didnt get attention due to releasing closely with FFX & due to poor marketing?
Having a BS moment with the game, Wagui of kowloon is instantly killing the party with the game of death move, what am i supposed to do here? guides say its very easy like wtf?
I'm not someone who often just has even 10 dollars for luxury, let alone more but I managed to finally scrape together enough to buy a new copy of one of the CDs I've always wanted. And I wanted to share that joy with you all.
My favorite track still is 'Conveyor Belt for Killers' amongst many others. Honestly I don't dislike anything but damn every song has a vibe and it's had me in a clutch since I was young and playing this on ps2.
Always nice to see Radiata Stories mentioned!
I started playing the second game without playing the first. Please forgive me but it's really expensive in my country to buy the first game. Anyway It feels like they are easy games overall but I have ptsd from shin megami tensei series. So please give me advice on what kind of grind should I do, which elements to invest to and how yo use them. I am at England after the sexy boss battle. I know the game is huge and I hope I finish it before 2026 ends (I play a lot of games at the same time and I hope this one doesn't take long not because I hate it but because I love the characters and the vibe i just don't want the rpg staff makes me wanna pause a lot of times my progress. It already happened with that stupid four hand frog battle
Playing Shadow hearts right now
Im going a little insane from fighting all the frogs with bare hands
