Of course we have the game cartridge - let's say it's Php 1895. It's launch edition is priced at PhP 2395 (less 100 if payed in cash). The items bundled with special edition releases range from figurines, to special DLCs, art books, soundtracks, a friggin' fan (looking at you Monster Hunter), and actually it can be any item as long as it's justifiable and contains themes that point to the game. If a game is more expensive than that then it's usually bundled with other items as with the case with launch editions, pre-order editions etc. Is it worth the PhP 2295 price tag?ģDS games here in the Philippines usually range from PhP 1200 to PhP 1895. Thus the title.Īnyway, Stella Glow Launch Edition. And since I wanted Fire Emblem in the first place of course I'd buy the game closest to it. Legend of Legacy on the other hand is more like Bravely Default. Stella Glow is a tactical JRPG not unlike Fire Emblem. Ultimately the deciding factor was the type of JRPG. Stella Glow.well, we'll get to that later. To me Legend of Legacy is more noteworthy as it has a 10-track soundtrack probably oozing with epic music that compliments the art style, and a 40-page art book. The launch edition content shouldn't be a deciding factor but I feel that the steep price should at least be justified by the add-ons.
The review scores, though close, showed that critics were more receptive of Stella Glow, so Stella Glow leads 2-1. After all the best RPGs are those that progress the story depending on the actions of the player, and not the other way around. Legend of Legacy, on the other hand, gets a point for the freedom it gives to the player. A friend of mine said that he got hooked with Stella Glow within the first three hours of his gameplay. Still, I was having a strong craving for JRPGs at the time so it had to be one of the two. Both games in stock were the hyper expensive launch editions with all the other goodies inside.
Originally if Awakening wasn't in stock I'd go for Fantasy Life, but yeah it's by Level-5 so I went tsundere on it and ignored it for a while leading me to choosing between Legend of Legacy and Stella Glow. I didn't ask but I think it's likely that Awakening will be a hard find this year. Unfortunately, I think I've ignored Awakening far too long as Data Blitz didn't have it in stock. Fire Emblem Fates is due for release early this year, so I figured I might as well play and finish Awakening before Fates is released. Back then I had one game in mind: Fire Emblem Awakening. I really wanted a new game to play as hell inevitably rains down on me during the coming semester. It was the last weekend before the 2nd semester. Since then I've been cautious of the games developed and published by Level-5, which brings us to two weeks ago. Then came Yo-Kai Watch.I did not end well for me. I promised myself (well, sort of) the next game that I'd add to my 3DS library wouldn't be out of hype or impulse and that I'd research more before mindlessly picking up a new game. The games in line back then were Fantasy Life and Fire Emblem Awakening. Last time I blogged about wanting a game but buying a completely different one was the time I spent 30 minutes deciding whether or not I want Persona Q.
It started the year strong with Monster Hunter 4 and Majora's Mask 3D but for the rest of the year it was easy to look past the 3DS aisle. The 3DS on the other hand didn't have much to provide by the end of 2015. They've been hyped up far too much months before their scheduled release dates and both are easy GOTYs for the Wii U. I did buy Super Mario Maker and Xenoblade Chronicles X, but those are not what you'd call random games. The whole holiday season I refrained from just simply picking out random games off the shelves of Data Blitz. Here's the first game I bought this year and so far the most expensive game I've bought for the 3DS.
