mmorpg simulator btw

Like SAO but good. On a serious note The Main Character: Haseo is an good main protagonist, I remember as a teenager thinking he was so cool and dark but now as an adult he just looks like edgy energy, but I can now also apreciate the deepness inside of him , he is more than meets the eye, and the Edgy mask comes off fast. So I like that there are layers to him and watching his cahracter grow up is enjoyable. Gameplay: The gameplay is dated but one can still have fun playing it, it has its charm. It personally enjoy the fake MMO vibes, and browsing the web its an inmerssive experience. The improvements make for this remaster help the gameplay a lot compared to the original PS2 version. Sound and Music: GOATED nothing more to say to, really good OST, sound effects are servicable. Also I enjoy the voice acting , it's not the best but also not bad. Overall Great game for RPG fans, give it a try if you are looking something kind of retro and unique.

Been playing since the Ps2! Best game series ever!

I love the story of the World. Remembered playing it when i was a child. Playing it again and again.

Ugh, this game. Let me list the cons on my playthrough first, because though I'm feeling particularly generous, this isn't a 'good' game by most metrics. The bad: To say the gameplay loop is repetitive would be the understatement of the century. The same 10 or so dungeon types are used without variation for your entire playthrough. The story suffers from JRPG bloat on a massive scale. It's seriously the longest 91 hours I can remember playing. It just. Never. Ends. The bosses are all relatively similar. The anime melodrama is ridiculous, and Haseo is the definition of emo. I only decided to play the (comparatively brief) 4th installment because I wanted my waifu of choice in a final cut scene, and whatever obscure thing I needed to do, I didn't, and I ended up engaged to the 'villain'. What the actual ****... The combat...meh, nothing to write home about. And the constant need to log in and log out to check email within the game was incredibly tedious and time-consuming. Who the hell is this Tabby character that suddenly appears? Oh and did I mention that for the first entire section our hero is a total jerk? All of that said... The good: There's a nostalgic 2000's PS2 vibe here that's sort of undeniable. I enjoyed the attempt to make this feel like an early MMO, along with fan art and old school forums. The news and Online Jack anime segments helped to flesh out what was happening in the real world. And the characters despite the anime cliches are all basically winning (except for Haseo himself, but he improves over time), and the voice acting (on the Japanese side, I don't know about the English) is spot on. And its the rare game where I stuck with it to the end and maxed out my character, so that must say something. The Sakubo character is actually pretty interesting from a psychological perspective (no spoilers). The music goes pretty hard. If you take a break, this game is good at hand-holding you back into the story. I never felt lost. Oh, and on the lowest difficulty, it wasn't too hard. The verdict: This was a slog. There's no doubt about it. But in the end, I enjoyed finishing up my time in The World. If you're going to give it a shot, play it a couple quests at a time and take breaks. Savor it. Because trying to binge this will probably wreck you...

A little different than the PS2 orginal 3 piece. Pretty interesting so far.

This game kinda looked cool when I saw it. Tbh it looks like an old school ps3 game. But when I played it, it got boring real fast. The game was like a watered dog shi version of sao and solo leveling. Was gonna refund it but it was too late so 4.5/10
