That is also an unfair comparison though. You can't expect tons of people to go out and buy a year old game for 65 dollars when it is 20 for another console. It is ridiculous.

I spent about 3 hours with the game, not counting the game overs (yes I died), and I completed the prologue with all the side missions and part of chapter 1. My initial impressions:

Gameplay has been fun so far; there's a lot of attacks and approaches you can take. The last thing I played was the little dungeon thing that was in the demo. Don't know if it's just me but the boss was harder than he was in the demo. He beat me the first time I faced him and almost defeated me a second time. Everything was a piece of cake until I faced him.

I'm amazed and pleased you can accept side missions very early in the game, as well as customizing your weapons and clothing. Customizing your weapons is pretty easy; pretty eager to get more stuff for my guns. One thing I liked about the clothing was you can save costumes.

The music and the voice-acting have been pretty good. Nolan North = God! Zephyr's voice sucks; there's something about it that I don't like.

As for the story, it's been pretty weak and dull so far. Nothing interesting, exciting or memorable has happened other than the funny thing that happened to Zephyr. It's been pretty much: go here, then go here, a little bit of boring talk, then go here, etc. I have no clue why I'm going to those places other than the game or someone telling me to go there. Maybe it becomes clearer once I progress, but it's been vague so far. I noticed the characters look a little grainy during cutscenes. The game runs smooth, but I did install it.

Most importantly the point I'm trying to prove is that JRPGs DO sell well on the 360. My post is more pushing this point than it is a straight up comparison.

What would have really been unfair is if I had compared overall sales as opposed to first week.

apparently this game is comming out tomorrow in my area.. 2 days after the release. Jesus Sega first you fuk up by releasing it in March then u fuk up by not releasing this on the attended date. You better not start putting the blame on us when this sells poorly cause you only have yourselves to blame.

on a side note i feel sorry for Tri Ace cause they look like they actually put some effort into this game and trying new things with the gameplay and its a shame that theyll never get the sales they deserve thanks to a bunch of rejects who couldnt market a product to save there life. Looks like Tri Ace might think twice about partnering with Sega in the future

I see Tri-ace going back to SE. At least they got the games out on Launch day.

impressions:

* if you like challenge you will get it..very early. This game is very punishing to ppl who dont plan out correctly my gawd ive died like 3 times and each time i made 1 mistake and the enemies ate us alive

* characters have some very interesting lines refer to mirsons post

* The world map is awesome is fun to play around with

* the 2 CGI scenes were great especailly the start up one

* multiple battle themes a huge plus for me

Where did you get owned? And where's sepharic?

Alright, I finished chapter 2 with all the side-missions done, and my total play-time is a little above 4 hours.

The dungeon in chapter 2 was a little difficult at first; I got a game over twice before finally finding the trick on winning these battles. You definitely need to strategize here. I would really love a save point in the dungeons because I'm afraid of having to redo the dungeon again because of the boss killing me. There is a suspend option, so I'm guessing that's how I save. When I lost, I didn't have enough money to redo the boss battle, so I had to do the whole dungeon again. Also, here's hoping the battle environments change soon. It's a little dull.

The story hasn't taken off, but the final scene seems to indicate that it'll go somewhere soon....I hope. Though there has been some funny moments with the trio in both cutscenes and battles.

Eurogamer Italy: 8/10

"Resonance of Fate is one of the best JRPG of these last months. Featuring a deep combat system and a huge load of interesting ideas, this game is a true gem for the RPG fans. The main story has a diesel acceleration, but after few hours everything looks great."

GameInformer: 6.75/10

"Overall, Resonance of Fate may appeal to the JRPG connoisseur who is looking for an interesting and challenging new take on combat. Others most likely will be thrown off by the silliness, steep learning curve, required grinding, and other pains – especially when there are so many recent well-rounded RPGs out there."
