Resonance of Fate

Resonance of Fate Hands-on Preview (Preview)

At this point I'm supposed to adopt an authoritative tone and pretend that I'm a well of knowledge when it comes to Japanese Role Playing Games - but unfortunately, I can't. The best I can manage is to stand in the corner with a spiky haircut, pout my androgynous metrosexual face, and say something along the lines of "...". Because sadly, as shameful as it is for me to admit it, I lack experience when it comes to this kind of game. Sure, I played Final Fantasy 7 and loved every second of it - but then again, who didn't? Aside from a few notable exceptions, I'm still very much green around the edges.Still, there are advantages to this situation. If you're a hardcore J-RPG gamer then you'll probably have a distinctly different appreciation for Resonance of Fate, but there's equally a good chance that you may not be so familiar with the games of this ilk; after all, the genre has arguably lost a little of its European popularity in recent years - particularly with the advent of Western big hitters like Mass Event and Fallout 3. Under the circumstances, you may well fall into the same ill-informed category as me.
