two reasons why Jeanne D'Arc DOES suck (more as I get them)

[demi]

1. TIME LIMIT -- whose fucking idea was this? distinguished mentally-challenged. Who cares that I have to "kill all enemies" or "kill X guy" when I have to do it in 10 turns?

2. MP at zero at the start of each battle, having to gradually build it up. Why not just give me it all at once? No? Too obvious, huh.

Why do all the cool, good games have that ONE thing that just totally fucks things over and makes the experience more grating.

Bioshock's still the best game in 2007 so far.  Agreed? 

[demi]

Probably... I'd have to think about it

[TVC15]

I just noticed the time limit today.  That is so fucking gay.  Is the limit the same for every level?

I like the round limit, it forces you to go on the offensive, rather then huddling your characters together with unified guards and waiting for the enemies to come at you one by one.

I think the building of the magic is pretty well thought out, because if you start with full magic and the mission objective is to kill the leader, you can just rush the leader, nuke, and the fight would be over in two rounds.

Its sounding like FFTA2 is more FFT'like than Jeanne d'Arc...which is just

I tried to pick up Jeanne d'Arc yesterday at Gamestop and they told me they didn't have it in stock ;_;

Time limits are made of gay. Sure, you can argue that it doesnt allow for the traditional huddle/buff at the beginning of the round, but if anything it hurts the flexibility of the offensive as well. Its just a bad idea imo. I should be able to decide how I play the game.

No, and the turn limit is not really new. I mean, come on. "Save that guy in the forest being attacked by people in under 12 turns."

And 12 turns is a long time...

I haven't seen a turn limit under 10 turns yet. 10 turns is like a half an hour.

It's distinguished mentally-challenged, no amount of spin can put it in a positive light

[Ichirou]

Hell, I was excited about this game but hearing about the time limit puts me on the fence. 

[BlueTsunami]

Fuck, a time limit for each battle

I hate time limits alltogether...that fucken sucks. I'm still picking it up today though. Whats the rationale for it? Is it to prevent grinding (ala FFT) or something?

it's so you can't sit back. the game has a technique called unified guard that activates whenever you have more than 1 player in one area...so you could theoretically just wait for the enemies to get to you and the bash their heads in.

it's really not a restrictive limit. i've never come close to the turn limit in any mission.

[Error2k4]

time limits don't really bother me, got used to them in SRT.

edit: I could see it annoying people, in SRT is optional at least

[Mana Knight]

I'm still buying it.  The game looks too good for me to pass up.

[Ichirou]

I don't know what the fuck is up with the local import shops that sell US games around here - no Persona 3 and no Jeanne D'Arc.  I'm a saaaad panda.
