Title: Saigo no Yakusoku no Monogatari (最後の約束の物語)
Console: PSP
Genre: RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: ImageEpoch
Summary: (copy/pasted) Become the head of the Messiah knights and save your country from complete ruin. There is only one way to turn the situation around; activate the last source of magic by exchanging the Last Vows. Yet before you can use such powers, you have to battle the massive steel monsters that infest your skies and are killing off your troops and ordinary civilians. Create perfect strategies and be careful when you pit your people against your foes, because you can’t revive them once they die.

Everybody has a gauge, this determines the skills you can use, but if you use it up, your warrior dies. Use your power to protect your people and in some way, choose who to sacrifice.

Dark, epic and stunning, Saigo no Yakusoku no Monogatari has exciting fight scenes and brutal choices.

I had a LOT of reservations seeing the filesize (350mb uncompressed, 250 compressed…), but I love Kurahana Chinatsu’s art and the cast made it irresistable for me to at least try it. More after the cut…

Title: Lucian Bee’s RESURRECTION SUPERNOVA
Console: PS2/PSP
Genre: Otome, Adventure
Language: Japanese
Company: 5pb
Summary: I started this on the PS2 way back in 2009, but didn’t get past the prologue. XD; Partially because my Japanese reading was slow back then, and partially because playing the PS2 is annoying to play in general. I prefer otome games portable~

Title: Dissidia 012
Console: PSP
Genre: RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Square Enix
Summary: I’ll get to this eventually. XD I played the original Dissidia quite a bit, and I thought the battle system was very refreshing and innovative. But I guess most of that thrill has worn off already and I haven’t found myself very motivated to play this sequel. I did watch the new cutscenes, and… I guess that’s most of the game for me.
