Overall excellent game...
Overall, Tokyo Xanadu is one of my favorite games. I thought the "real city" feel and earthquake aspects worked really well as did the school setting and the idol group. I also find the Falcom treatment of religion to be interesting and very different from any game I've played from US or European developers. As with all the story-oriented Falcom games the characters tend to be extreme tropes and some people will be turned off by that. This is one of Falcom's more sexist games unfortunately. If you were going to write a paper about the different ways sexism appears in games this would be a good game to look at since there is such a variety of ways. It is a long game, although not nearly as long as the full Trails in the Sky series. The second half is not as good as the first half but still has good parts. I can't recall any technical issues with the game. I put together a fairly low budget game system (with R9 390 GPU and Celeron G3900 CPU) to be able to play this game and it was well worth it. The music is excellent video game music. I wish they did more with SPiKA to focus on the music at times or at least give them one full song (they did get most of a song at least). I like the musical interlude of repeating the opening movie at each chapter even if it is the same music (you can skip if you don't like it). Amanita Design (Samorost, Machinarium) are the only developers I can think of where music feels somehow more fully a part of the game than other games and I really wish more games would do that. Falcom gets close but doesn't manage to do the same. Other games on my favorites list: Roller Coaster Tycoon series, Trails in the Sky, Xanadu Next, Stardew Valley, Costume Quest, Psychonauts, Sim City 3000, Infinifactory, Card City Nights, Defender's Quest, Icewind Dale series, Kerbal Space Program. I haven't played the Trails of Cold Steel games yet out of hope that the Crossbell arc (Trails to Zero/Azure) will get translated eventually.
Hilft dir das weiter?
