Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection

I did not know where I was getting into until I started playing. Being a Falcom fan for some years, that played to now nearly every english released game, I can say this one was a hidden-gem until Xseed decided to localize it. Gameplay-wise, it is close to Nayuta no Kiseki, that is one of the best ARPG that I played. The game's plot is good, nothing extraordinary, but good, and will slowly turns from “unpretentious” to “more interesting”. But what shines here is the gameplay and the characters. The game features some very interesting characters, as the “exotic” church's nun or Pokkle and Pipiro, the previous games protagonists. I found one of the antagonists interesting too, and the game features some surprises. Journeying through Granvallen, Zwei's world, some characters will grow, as Alwen and Ragna, personally and with their bond. The dungeons are varied, and have an structure where the player explore segments, are evaluated by some metrics and given a medal according to their performance. It has several extra contents, big bonus dungeons and optional content. The game is easy, first dungeons pose nearly no challenge, but the difficulty will increase on the fourth dungeon forth, but with the abundance of food (that heals and is the source of EXP), it will not really be high. The game has a “New Game +” feature, where you carry your data and has some extra contents for the new journey. A highly recommended Action RPG, fun, with likeable characters, good OST and colourful graphics. It has some good voice actors (like Alwen and one person that I will not mention here). Thanks XSEED for bringing this Falcom game to us!

This game reminds me alot of grandia 2 mixed with a splash of zelda. Its very enjoyable so far very quirky but also very fun.

If you like Xanadu Next you will like this. Really fun and cute characters.

Game is a lot of fun. Similar to the YS games but it is different. I like how it has monster/character info, fun gameplay, good music, decent story, funny characters (Even random NPC's), fun boss battles, and just some cute things here and there. The only complaint I have right now (I am in the late game I believe), would be that cutscenes are not skippable. This really sucks if you either died or had to quit then continue later and have to replay scenes you've already seen. On that note now that I thnk about it, I'm not sure you can pause the scenes either which I count as another negative.
