The Official Agarest Soundtrack

At the dawn of time, a terrible war raged between the forces of good and evil, ending in the destruction of the world of Agarest. After their victory, the Gods of Light unified the decaying bodies of the Gods of Darkness and created a new world.

Now, the forces of darkness are awakening once again…

Agarest: Generations of War includes many unique features that cannot be found in any other Strategy Role Playing Game. Here's a summary of some of the best:

Extended Area
Extended Area is the "Linked Area" set for both your party and your enemies. Each character in the game has a uniquely shaped extended area. When a character's turn comes around, all other characters in the Extended Area of the character in play (and characters in the extended areas of those characters!) can combine in an extended attack. This allows you to chain your party's attacks together, allowing access to more Arts and huge Combos!

Blacksmith's Guild
You can upgrade various Items and Equipment at the Blacksmith's Guild in two different ways:

By Enhancement: You can enhance equipment to a maximum of Level 5. Once an Item is enhanced to Level 5, you can convert the Item, changing it into something else. This process is irreversible and the original item is lost. Experimentation reveals some great new items!

Through Alchemy: Alchemy allows you to combine several items to create a single, more powerful piece of equipment. While you lose the items used in the alchemy, you gain a powerful new piece of equipment and permanent access to your new item in the Shop! Alchemy can create powerful new weapons and armour but occasionally a Smithing Accident will occur and the smith will create a different item than what you expected!

The "Soul Breed" system
Agarest takes place across 5 generations of heroes, starting with your first character, Leonhardt. During each generation you will build relationships with 3 different female party members, and at the end of each generation's story arc you must choose to marry one of the girls.

Your choice of marriage partner is restricted to girls who've grown fond of you over a particular generation. Your options are determined by your choices during conversations at certain points of the story.

The girl you choose as your wife - and the strength of their relationship with you - will determine the abilities of the main character in the next generation of the story. You'll have to experience multiple play throughs to see all of the character possibilities open to you! What heroes might you create?
  • Choose the path of Darkness or Light through a truly epic story, spanning multiple generations.
  • Battle hundreds of different creatures using an array of character abilities, in a compelling and innovative turn-based combat system.
  • Build your ultimate army of warriors and master Extra Skills, Special Arts and Over Kills to defeat colossal enemies!
  • Unite with your chosen heroine and use the “Soul Breed” system to shape the fate of the next generation of heroes.

Agarest: Generations of Grind

An incredibly grind-intensive game, you will have to spend hours and hours and hours of grinding before you can make decent progress, but this was a jerky move on the part of the game company, who wants to monetize on you purchasing the DLC to cut a few months of grinding. The music is good most of the time, but after hearing the same tune time and again after grinding, you will hate it. The graphics are good as well, the japanese voice acting is superb, and the story is actually good if ou match it up with the right timed events and the good ending; there are some sad, funny and dramatic moments that you will remember after playing this. The dating sim part is one of the best I've seen, but the combat feels very repetitive and only the boss battles offer some variety. The game has multiple endings, most of them "bad", and to get the good ending without getting the DLC it's impossible unless you grind for months and try it after New Game+. Get it if you don't mind spending more time than needed on excruciatingly repetitive battles and if you are desperate to have several anime waifus. If not, stay away and get yourself an anime hugging pillow... or better yet, a real girlfriend!

Agarest: Generations of Disappointment

I have the game on Steam when it got out and was utterly disappointed. The game is incredibly grind-intensive and unfortunately the fights, which is almost exclusively what the game exists of, are boring. The fightingsystem is rather uninnovative and an increased difficulty does not come from more intelligent enemies, but from enemies which stats have been increased by xxx%. --> more grind and repetitive, silly fights. It's a shame because I like the graphics (big jgames fan). Some characters are also reasonably interesting but the story and the characters are not interesting enough to get you through the tedious, grindy and boring gameplay.

Grinding, Sim Dating and HD CG Art = WIN

The "Agarest War" series is known by thousands for being one of those "love or hate" games. The game lasts for 100+ hours so you have to grind a lot, the difficulty is horrible if you try to beat every level chronologically without redoing levels for EXP (even on easy) and it's nearly impossible to get the "true end". However, this doesn't make it a bad game. This is what makes it unique. Grinding isn't that bad if you play it smart (or lazy, whatever you call it). You can set the fighting to "automatic" if it bothers you and do something else instead. Most of the time, your team survives the fight. The PSN version had a system where you could buy TP (Technical Points) for real money, but that didn't survive here as it would've been considered "greedy". As this is half RPG, half visual novel, you will have to scroll through a lot of dialogue. There's always long cutscenes before and after every major battle. There is also a bunch of events every third level or so. The story itself is okay, but kind of hard to follow. There's so many details, cities and names you have to remember to make any sense of the story. Getting all the CG (Gourgeous HD art images) will prove to be a challenge, as you need be careful with your affection gauge and make the right choices at several multiple choice events. This will unlock scenarious and the accompanied CG image, usually a clumsy event made really really naughty by the character's pose and innuendo (E.G. "It's too huge, it won't fit!" when eating a banana). These are what made the game famous in the first place. The voice acting is avarage. The character's talk way too quiet and is often interrupted by the BGM in the game. Also, the voices are too relaxed in action-packed scenes. None seem to get emotional either. It's a perfect fit for patient, hardcore JRPG players or Anime fans, but everyone should at least try this game. At this price, you can't really go wrong.

Grind more, the grindinating

Few RPGs have an "autobattle" feature, fewer still make it do anything other than spam the basic attack, and when the game has advanced autobattle features, it's clear they expect you to use them. Agarest has moderate autobattle features, but there's basically no reason not to use them. This game has 30 hours of content in a game that lasts 600 hours. Granted, I'm not sure how long that would be if I were actually playing. I played the PS3 version, and basically set my controller down with the stick mashed up to keep running into a wall and let autobattle fight battles for me while I changed the TV over and watched the DVR or read a book. Come back an hour later to distribute bonus points from levelups or sell loot. Oh, and protip for character customization: Put every single point every single character gets into VIT. Every other stat can be boosted by equipment way more than levels boost them (+900 stat items abound) but VIT gives you 3 permanent HP per level per VIT point, AND YOU WILL NEED THEM. Enemies blast away 1/2 your HP in a single shot, and bosses basically get 4 guaranteed kill AoE shots per turn. The game largely consists of needing ludicrously stat-boosting items that you gain through crafting that requires you get "blacksmith points" (BP) to upgrade, in addition to your (useless) GP, your XP, your SP, your CP and PP. These all needed separate grinding, PLUS, to craft, you need to kill old enemies to get crafting items needed to make weapons to upgrade to craft new items. GRIND MORE! The PS3 port part is important - this was a "pay to win" game on PS3. You can BUY those points as DLC, and that's how the game made money. See why it's a grindfest now? If you want to date anime elf girls, OK, it has that, it's OK, but it's probably better you just go to YouTube for it, because there is about 1 cutscene per 10 hours of gameplay towards the middle of the game, and the ending is essentially just 300 hours of grinding to get one last scene.

Great port of a PS3 game

I played this on the PS3 and highly enjoyed it. This is a perfect port. The combat is simple, but the story is exceptional. As per the name, it deals with multiple generations as part of a larger narrative. At the end of a generation, you choose which companion to have a child with, who will be the protagonist of the next generation, and each of these protagonists have their own personalities and motivations. For the PC mouse controls and resolution options have been included, which is great. Recommended if you're a fan of story driven, lengthy RPGs.
