Record of Agarest War Zero for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

this is a JRPG, of course players who dont play JRPGS in depth will complain. For those new to JRPGs, realize a few things; Jrpgs are much harder then any other rpg in the genre. Yes harder then morrowwind, lost odeyssey, mass effect or any other non japanese based RPG. They are graphically basic - because in JPRGS the story and logical gameplay means more then the cosmetic features. And they take alot of time.. 56 hours played only 30% completion.

If you are good at chess, or enjoy chess - then you will be good at the majority of battles within this game. If you are a button masher who likes to dive head first into battle without thinking carefully, then kudos this game will frustrate you because of its difficulty. If you like games that you cannot beat within a day, or even a few days - welcome to the genre 56 hours in and my completion % is 35% and I did not spend much time blacksmithing or working on my adventure guild quest. True fans of the JRPG genre will rejoice over the level of difficulty within this game, its is VERY difficult to power through boss fights, or the game itsself, and doing so only causes you to be severly penalized via your level 23 roster vs level 40 mobs. This game will require you do a lot of fighting same local same mobs over and over..to level your heroes - again I stress if you are not a JRPG fan, this game will not be suited to your liking. IT IS A GOOD Game its not great, but its a game that causes you to do a lot more then press a button and faceroll with 1 hero. It requires something most video gamers these day lack ; intellect.

few hints : each generation you will lose your main hero. So its wise to not spend all of your PP on them, you will also lose 2 of your female roster be cautious of buffing them.
Skill gain XP just like hero do, just at a much lower rate. the more you use a type of skill the more that hero will become proficient with that skill type. So dont keep switching out what skill types each hero
