Ha. Thanks... You realize you started a discussion in the forums right?

[soera]

I know. I didnt think you would be the only person interested! But used your name to make sure you saw it if I didnt see you first.

As soon as I heard they were reprinting this, I immediately ordered it on Amazon.

There are still folks trying to sell it for over $70 bucks on there too, haha.

I have a bid on one of the limited edition ones with the outer shell and a sealed soundtrack. But if that fails, Ill just buy it when it reprints.

Yeah, those copies will definitely be the ones that are the high in demand.  But at least with the reprints, more people will be able to (legitimately) purchase and play this unique game.

What's the gameplay like?

What's the gameplay like?

It's almost a traditional turn based RPG. Three character party on the right side of the screen with enemies on the left. The enemies are on a 3 x 3 grid. They can move on the grid and you have the ability to push them into each other which allows your character to do damage to more than one enemy at a time. Sounds a little weird but it works very well.

The story is based around decision making. You can go back and replay certain sections sections of the game (time travel) and make different decisions which will change your future (and those of others).

Honestly, it's a little difficult to describe. Definitely worth playing and definitely something unique.

Well, less than 24 hours on my bid. Sadly, I bid it up before I saw the reprint thing. My bid is pretty high but its at max right now so any bump will clear me from it. I just hate to give it up cause its a sealed copy of the limited edition with the box/soundtrack CD.

Thanks @darko, I think that I'll wait on this one and hope that I can find it for cheap one day. I've never been a fan of strategy RPGs and that's really what it sounds like.

[darko]

Yeah, it probably sounds that way because of the grid system in battles. It's kind of difficult to describe but it's definitely NOT a strategy RPG. It's a turn-based JRPG with a tweaked battle system. I'd check out Youtube before you make your final decision.

[scott]

The grid system sounds kinda like the Mega Man Battle Network games. Only without the ability to move yourself around.

@darko, OMG this game looks awesome! Ok I'll be ordering a copy!

@soera do you want to change the title of the thread so that everyone knows what it is about?

[scott]

Yeah... anytime Amazon wants to fill my order I'll be happy.
