Sharing a good game in holiday...

Nothing to do at holidays, and just keep on waiting for the result and playing games. Found out that this game (that I am playing) recently is quite good, therefore I am going to show this to my friends and PSP RPG gamers.

This RPG game is called: Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora No Kiseki the 3rd 英雄伝説6:空の轨迹 (JAP), or The Legend of Heroes: Sora No Kiseki 3rd. Unfortunately, this game is only available in both Chinese (translated by some editors and fans, salute them) and Japanese version, in both PC and PSP platform. This game was out at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately it is not available in Chinese version, and that's the reason I played this recently.

For this, this is the Extra Version for the game, after the FC and SC (First and Second Chapter) from the original game, and this is the 3rd, which the story is mentioned a year or two after the SC's story background. (I am playing the Chinese version as I don't understand Japanese...)

Below are the screen shots that I take with my PSP. Thanks to the translators and now I finally understand the game (bought the UMD a while but blurred..)

The battle interface, and this screen appears when one of the character (This is called Klaudia, the princess of one of the three empires in the story, but she got another 'disguised' name - Klose. For the 3rd, the main character is the one with green hair, named Kevin Graham.

One of the mini game's interface. Looks like Fist of North Star...

The dialogue of the characters (this is the female protagonist, named Ritz.)

Some other characters (the upper screen is called Josette Capua and the lower one in Japanese characters is called Oliver Linheim) in the game. Playable characters in the game are 16. (More than FC and SC as in FC you only have 6 playable and SC you have 8)

The language had modded but everything is still same (the only difference is I understand what the game's story is happening as it is Chinese and they translated it perfectly).



The difference with certain RPG game, this version have more better story interface (you will confuse if you not yet played the First and Second Chapter).

If you are going to ask my opinion based on the gaming criteria with the scale of A to E, then I can give the score as follow...

Gameplay: A-
Like most RPG game, this game is flawless in the RTS rule. Flexible orbments in the game allows you to create better spells and affects your status points, which makes you to think wisely for the built-up.
Story: A
Links the line from FC to SC and create a special story by using the Moon Chamber and Star Chamber in the game (to reveal the memory of the characters and show you some spoilers of the characters.
Interface: B+
For PC I am pretty sure it will be OK. But for PSP it might cause a little problem as the screen is too small and the words are not big. Might have a pain on reading the words.
Graphic: A-
Using both 2D and 3D and the details are good. However, the character in 3D might not so beautiful if compared to 2D...
Music: A
Nothing to say - Japanese game's music (especially RPG) are quite flawless.
Control: B
Not really easy to control if you are a first timer, especially for the battle as it is different with most RPG game (can say that is similar to Grandia). And you need to turn the angle always as in the normal interface (not the menu) is in 3D.

Not going to give more information as I think the screenshot shows better (and I am not a game critic nor faq maker). Try it. It is a good RPG game, for PSP and PC.
