Japan Gaming Ep.1 - Battle Fantasia

by Torrence Davis

Here is the first episode of Japan Gaming by Drakol.  Today he reviews Battle Fantasia for the PS3.  Import gaming is something most of us hardcore gamers love to do.  It was really big with the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast.  Drakol is bringing it back with PS3 games.

Please leave your comments for Drakol.  This is something he really wants to do and your input would be much appreciated.  If you enjoy the show, more will come.

  1. okay man that game looks horrible and here is why i think so.(1)the characters move like robots or something so it doesn’t have a very realistic feel to it.(2)the graphics suck.(3)the animation is horrible compared to prince of persia for example.(4)the characters don’t even look apealing.(5)it takes to long to pull off a combo.(6)it takes to long to kill someone.(7)the background doesnt look very interesting.those are my thoughts on the game.that’s probably why most japanese games don’t come over to america.im suprised a lot of japanese games suck so bad when you also get awesome ones like metal gear solid, soul calibur and final fantasy.CAN SOMEONE ENLIGHTEN ME ON THIS?

  2. Lol, yeah I’ll improve on future videos =P

    The game is ok, but the reason why it took me a while to pull off any combos is because I just got it the day before I did the review. This game isn’t for everyone, but for those who are interested in something different when it comes to fighting games, this might be a good choice.

  3. the first day i played soul calibur 4 i was pulling off combo’s left, right and center it was crazy but i see what you mean it’s not meant for everyone.it also looks like a really low budget game.even go as far as to say ps2 graphics.

  4. Nice vid man. I would be interested in seeing more of import games. It would be a great chance to see games i wouldnt normally see, and get a chance to see what japan likes to play. Kratos you also have to understand they aren’t big graphics hores like we are over here in the states, take for instance the dreamcast is still being played and sold over there.

    mgs4 and ff13 are japanese games along with soul calibur 4, but i guess they used so much graphic potential because they wanted to ship it to america.idk

  6. People obsessed with graphics make me laugh. So I guess a movie doesnt interest you unless they all have cutting edge CG. What a fuckin joke.

    I get so tired to listening to people say graphics graphics graphics. We spend so much time talking about this when there are so many other aspects of games.

    This game that drakol showed us might not have the best graphics. But if you look at the game even though I cant read or understand a word of it, looks like someone spent lots of time with art and developing a story for this game. Sadly since the company most likely didnt have the resources to put out kill zone type graphics the game wont get a chance. Some of the best games I have ever played didn’t have great graphics.

    How much of the final fantasy series is great graphics? I am playing Final Fantasy Tactics for PS1 right now because Ive always wanted to finish it and I am having a ball. And the graphics looks like shit. Sure they were good then. But whatever, people are way way into this graphics shit.

    ff tactics had good graphics for it’s time and they just brought it back to make a quick buck.im not obsessed with graphics but to me they have to be at least decent.you don’t buy a ps3 or 360 for wii type graphics do you?i know i don’t.or how about an hd tv?man i watch so many older movies like rockie witch had great picture for it’s time but i have a hard time watching something with a horrible picture, it takes u out of the game.the game didn’t have to have killzone type graphics but come on soul calibur 3 had better graphics and that’s on ps2 man.if you look at my 1st comment the graphics are only a small part of my complaint.there was so much other stuff wrong with it.i think i listed 7 things i didn’t like about it.so how can u call me a graphics whore when it was only a small part of it?the game it like golf.not very appealing with the bland combo attacks, alongside the unappealing characters that look like throwaways.

  8. Kratos7445 i agree i dont by games for wii type graphics. But I have played games with great graphics that have sucked. Boshido Blade comes to mind, great looking game, but it just never pulled together for me. For others it did.

    You have to understand not every developer is going to be able to make games with the best cutting edge graphics and gameplay, sound and story. So let me ask you, if you knew a game was gonna be made that you were interested in, and it was a small company which of those 4 excluding sound would you want to take the hit?

    I would rather have a game with decent graphics and an epic story with excellent gameplay. But it does depend on the game.

    I know most people here dont like the Wii, but the new Zelda on Wii is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Great Gameplay, Great Story, and the graphics get you by.

    In final Fantasy yeah the graphics are great but how long does it take you to get immersed in the story and you stop cuming in your pants after you cast leviathan for the 20th time.

    Its an initial wow this is amazing, then something else needs to take over or it gets old real fast.

    And as for Movies. Indiana Jones 4 was ruined for me because of the advance of technology. CG had no place in that film.

    there are games with awesomw graphics that i won’t touch,lair is a great wxample.i never played that game.

    i agree with u that zelda does look pretty cool with the motion control but the wii isn’t my type of system.i love the gameplay in the final fantasy series.it’s just so different from say oblivion and do you think final fantasy would be able to have huge sales if people thought the gameplay sucked.i sure as hell wouldn’t buy it.to keep me playing final fantasy the story line plays a big part of the game and final fantasy is known for that.

    i never saw indiana jones 4.does it have the same feel to it as the older ones did?

    with games it’s GAMEPLAY 1st
    STORY 2nd
    GRAPHICS 3rd

    still for a ps3 game to have less than ps2 graphics that’s pretty sad.even small psn or xbox live games look better and u know how cheap those are to make.

  10. yea i don’t know why people hate on the wii cause the games that nintendo actually make are great and i have tons of fun on them. Mario galaxy is a game that doesnt have outstanding graphics but it looks good and plays great, zelda like you said, metroid, if wii sports had more depth to it it would also fall under that category of games with average graphics and great gameplay. You say people don’t buy 360 or ps3 to play games that don’t look good but they seem to buy these what i like to call Minnie games, or low budget games that you find on xbla or psn, not because they look good but because they are fun. Hell nintendo sells more on their classic games then they do wii games. People want gameplay graphics are starting to get overated, and looked at too much and its taking away from great game play. Its like i said before games can stay the way they look right now for a couple more years and focus more on game play and content and i would be happy.

  11. I dont think ive met anyone that didnt love zelda, even if you dont like the wii or the motion controller.

    yo mandid you see the nintendo conference?to me it sucked.it was all about the cawsual market and getting women on the system and i don’t like the wii because i don’t wan’t to sand around swinging my arm infront of a tv looking like and idiot and you can’t have call of duty type fun on the wii.with great graphics you can’t tell me headshots or gorefests on god of war or call of duty don’t look awesome and that adds to the gameplay.look at it this way, call of duty 4vs call of duty 3 on wii.
    call of duty 4 kills it man.gotta love those messy headshots.

    on your hdtv comment.say if you had a wii would you go out and buy a 50 inch hdtv for 3000 dollars?NO.the other way around if you had a ps3 wouls you buy a 50 inch hdtv.HELL YEAH!!!

    i think the casual gamers are mostly the one that play the psn or xblive.what would you rather play gears of war or geometry wars?

    i started playing pixel junk eden and got bored after like 10-15 minutes.i would rather play mgs4 or sc4.

  13. @candid anthony

    DID YOU EVER SEE MY LAST COMMENT ON”DEVELOPERS SEE PS3 AND 360 AS EQUALS”?
    what do you mean that i lean towards the ps3?
    all i was doing was talking about how blu-ray would make better 360 games when ported from the ps3 being not limited to 1 disk.i would of rather had call of duty 4 with 2 disks on 360 rather than just one.

  14. ok enough of you guy bytching. stay on topic.

    Good first show drakol. Next time please play the game for a longer period of time before making a video of it. I have seen trailers of this game before with alot of cool moves being pulled off, and i know it take some time to get the feel of fighting games,

    For future games i recommend Valkyria cronicals and Yakuza 3. maybe some inported PSP or DS games aswell as they are also region free for games.
