Record of Agarest War Zero

So, a prequel to the "erotic themed" (although, mis-advertized, apparently) turn based strategy game of 2010. This game, which is available this year on both the PS3 and the Xox360 in the states is to be released in April. Apparently, there is more "free will" for your character, allowing you to explore towns, and talk to your scantly clad ladies. The "Soul Breeding" (buttsechs) is back! Mate with your most loved heroine for generations of killing, allowing the inheritance of items, XP and other game related goodies. The article can be viewed in the spoiler Spoiler:Torrance, CA - Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment products, proudly announced today that Record of Agarest War Zero, the prequel to last year's epic Strategy RPG, will be released in North America this summer. From the critically-acclaimed developer of niche RPG games, Idea Factory, Record of Agarest War Zero will be available for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. "First and foremost," says Ben Bateman, Localization Editor, Aksys Games, "I would like to address the question I know all of you are asking. The answer is yes, Santa Claus does exist. I have met him, in person. He has the strong, warm hands of a working man. Of course, some of you may already know this and are likely asking a different question. The answer to that question is also yes: We will be releasing Record of Agarest War Zero on a disc for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system. It was made excessively clear to us that there are a number of people who do not care for downloading their videogames. I am told this number is bigger than a breadbox, and so we have gone to great lengths—I personally have killed at least five orcs—to ensure that everyone will have the opportunity of sliding a shiny, new physical disc into the console of their choice. Or both, if they are into that sort of thing." "In addition, Zero also includes a number of other features, although I suppose it is rather disingenuous to consider existing on the physical plane to be a 'feature.' The portraits during conversations are now animated, which is nice, and the addition of a feature called, tentatively, 'Free Intention' allows you to explore towns and meet with members of your party, giving you more control over your relationship(s) with the ladies. Speaking of the ladies, as they grow fonder of you their clothes will change. Dressing like a nurse seems like an odd way to show your affection to me, but I'm not a woman on an adventure to save the world, so maybe I'm missing an important perspective." FEATURES * The Prequel to the RPG That Brought You Five Generations of Stories: The pivotal installment of the multi-generational tale tells the story of what happened in the age before Record of Agarest War, detailing the rise of some to glory, and the fall of others, into darkness. * Experience "Living Portraits": The beautiful, static character portraits from Record of Agarest War are now animated to resemble living and breathing characters. Players will now see Sieghart display emotions of surprise, despair, and joy, among others. * The Return of the Unique Soul-Breeding System: Once again, the choice of bride at the end of the first generation further determines the skill sets and weapon of the offspring. * The Addition of the New Card Skill System: Players now have more control over the battle style of the main character, as well as his skills, by way of a card system. By picking the appropriate cards, Sieghart can be customized to reflect the type of fighter one wishes to play. Record of Agarest Zero has not been rated by the ESRB. More information about Aksys Games and Record of Agarest Zero can be found at www.aksysgames.com. The limited edition set contains a deck of RoAW themed poker cards, and the skil cards in game along with a stratagy guide and a 36 track sounds track from the game. I haven't played the first, but it looks at least worth trying... Although even the American version the VO is in Japanese, with English subs... Absolutely stupid if you ask me. Also, to me, turn based shouldn't be on a console, I don't have a 5th (I think) gen console, 42inch plasma and a sound system to wait for my turn... Then again, this may be a good game, I'll just pick it up and see! Limited Edition: Spoiler:http://www.aksysgames.com/2011/03/08/record-of-agarest-war-zero-limited-edition-unveiled/ P.S.

Well, just beat the first (a slightly disappointing ending) and FAR from the "true path" (I was as light as can be). Oh well, gonna pop in Zero pretty soon here and get my game on!

Unfortunately Zero is not acknowledging the fact I beat RoAW, anyone else having this? What do you get anyway if you do load a cleared file? (unless it needs to be the perfect path)

Extra Mode
If the players have Clear Data from the first game,it is possible to load it and unlock the Door to the Future after some progress. Through the door, players can access the maps from the first game and unlock items and characters from the first game. Leo, his descendants, the heroines, Ellis and Dyshana are unlocked free. However, other playable characters must be downloaded from the PlayStation Store.

I agree, about half way through the game I really wished I had ordered the limited edition of the game, for the mouse pad and pillow, sound track is nice to, although I'd have to hide that stuff for a little while >>

So does anyone know how long this game is, hour wise? I have know idea how long I spent on the first, but it was a LONG time, and knowing how this one there are only two generations, I expect (but hope not) for it to be shorter.

I bought the collectors edition when it came out... but haven't touched it yet because months ago I didn't finish the first one and saw you could import the saves. finally finished the 5th gen and I'm in the boundary plane as I want to start on zero. this game is so time consuming and grindy.
