Just wondered wether anyone had heard anything on this. It got released in japan then ive heard nothing. I really want this game :(

So do i man So do i.... Pretty sad too release it over in japan let the thing be ignored and there are fans here in the usa and over in europe that really want the game.

This pisses me off too because that damn game has ALOT of potential for a damn good sequel, but its not doing too well over there in japan which might cause them to just forget about the whole thing altogether.

I really hope it gets released in america and europe because I love the style of game. And its what the original xbox didnt have. It needs a few japanese rpgs lol.

The only thing which looks good in this game is the graphics, i don't think it can stand up to the other JRPG titles on the PS2, I will buy it if it's released here but i'm not as excited as i was, i have Grandia 3, Dragons Quest 8, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Final Fantasy 12 to finish in the next 6 months anyways.

A chunk of those games fall within the mediocre category.

Don't get me wrong, I love JRPGs and I think I've played nearly all that was offered in the PS1 and the early PS2 years but none of them are anything superb but just cheap rehashes of other titles.

At least this time around Enchant Arm has 3 male protagonist...hehehe with a fruity character its bound to get interesting!

I don't know if you can call it just the graphics alot of people have dogged the game BECAUSE of its graphics, but whatever I just think the whole approach to gameplay is a good one and the story seems to be strong, plus I'm a major anime nerd so its right up my alley ;)

No people have said the graphics are nice (like a good PS2 game in high def) which isn't bad.

How do you know the story is good, unless of course you understand japanese.

This gaming started off as a must have game for me, but now it's lost its charm for some reason or another, im sure i will get it eventually, if it ever makes it way to western shores that is.

One thing I've learned NEVER listen to the bias reviewers out there some of them are flat out idiots. There are few reviewers whose opinion you can totally trust It looks nothing like a "good ps2 game" in hi def. Its more than worthy of being a next gen rpg.

I remember who said it looks like a good ps2 game it was the morons at 1up the same idiots that said dead or alive 4 sucked and gave it like a 6.1 or something like that.

Its a good, ambitious entry into next gen gaming, considering it was a launch title but lacks many of the production values that it would need to get a flawless score from reviewers. Not only that the outside world and I agree with this has a sorta empty feel to it, but hey its a launch title so who cares. Someone described it as running through a painting (and I must admit its an accurate description of it, but the game has a great foundation to have a strong sequel good enough to compete with a final fantasy or dragon quest IF the developers bother putting in the proper time for a second.

Hell they are the otogi creators they can sure as hell do some production value if they put in the time enchant arm can be the next big thing in rpgs. I admit that right now it isn't anything more than just a fun next gen rpg that has loads of potential. To be honest nothing can be said about the game that would change my opinion of it if it comes to the usa its catching an immediate pre-order.


I don't understand japanese, but from what I've seen I don't see how the story couldn't be one that interests me it looks like an anime and I'm pretty much a nerd when it comes to anime so its all good :)

I'm about 75% done with the game, but now my total lack of japanese comprehension makes it way too difficult to play the battles correctly so I think I won't be able to see more of the game.
But I've really like what I've been able to play so far. It's certainly not a perfect game, but it's still an ok to good jRPG. And for a launch RPG, especially done by a small team, it's a very good surprise. Compare it to the launch jRPG for the japanese lauch of the PS2...
