That's quite a pain to get to! I figured it was just hidden for whatever reason :/ I hope the store gets fixed up a bit (and goes faster) soon.

Also if you were using the Search...its not on there. For some reason. You will have to locate it manually via Games > PS3 Games > All PS3 Games. Then I suggest you use the Filter and sort by "Name: Z-A".

This method though won't show you Record of Agarest War Zero strangely. It can only be found using the Search. They probably should fix that.

Its located under Record of Agarest War 2. Meaning under R rather the A.

I'm really confused here... Already I'm not a fan of the new store setup, but the weird thing is, Agarest War 2 isn't on the search list! Went to go look for some DLC, and you can only find the first one and Zero. No 2! Did it get added in under a weird name, or is it currently out of the store altogether?

Most villages? You have only have one world hub and a bunch of shadow towns because you surely aren't interacting them them outside of just story. Once that part is past then it just becomes another blip on the map in which you can't do -your mother is a classy lady- with. There are a lot of things that could have been done to push this series forward that I feel they just completely dropped the ball on. It's kind of like how people complained FFXIII was to linear, you had no towns, etc. Then FFXIII-2 comes out and fixes a good majority of those things. Agarest 2 is more like XIII in which it has a lot of problems that need to be addressed in the next game. Honestly, if the next console title resembles this one, I'm dropping Idea Factory/Compile Heart/Red Entertainment immediately. There are other companies I can give my money to.

The battles in 1 and 0 followed this formula:

Set team so only one or two people can be attacked.
Let them die.
Revive them on your turn.
On the next turn reset them so only they die again.
Let them die
Revive
Rinse
Repeat
Get enough SP to completely destroy the boss
Win

There is a reason that most people who played multiple playthroughs used auto battle.

As for the comment about this world and monsters attacking villages...You get attacked so often because of the story. They explain it multiple times that the enemies are drawn to Weiss and the Heroines. Most villages probably don't get attacked very often.

Rena on "dlc question"

The DLC release in US are the same as in JP, so unless Compile Heart release more for Agarest War 2 will there not be more for US.

Seems we all here have same feelings about battle system. It is EPIC FAIL. Of course developers team NEVER do mistakes. It is our, players fault we not understand or want this wonder...

"The new battle system fairly ok and is close to how Cross Edge's system but far less robust in my opinion. It all devolved into just me hitting X repeated using the exact multi-hit combo all day long"

Quantity or Quality. For me it is much more satisfaction do one 10 min battle if I win using my wits and get suitable rewards in items and experience as do ten battles where my action is fast-pressing "X" button. Besides all, it is stupid. World where people lives you fight with monster avery minute! How villages exist/ How they work on fields or gather crops. Ridiculus. In other hand meeting sometimes with group of bandits or monsters is possible and don't disturb balance of world.

do you have to at a certain part of the game to acess the dlc or should you get it right away?

The_Console1 on "Trophies showing under 'Agarest: Generation of War 2'"

The_Console1 — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:52:04 +0000

From my experience, it's just a programming thing. Whenever different regions of the same game exist they either share the same trophies or count differently. It differs on a game by game basis.

For example, if you were to examine my Final Fantasy 13 trophies you'd see that I have an English set of trophies, but I've never touched the English version.

An Aksys-specific example would be Arcana Heart 3. I imported the game before an English version was announced so I originally had a Japanese set of trophies, but when Aksys announced a release that changed. About a week after the announcement a patch came out that turned the trophies English. So it doesn't matter which version I play both the US and JP version trophies are counted for the same set.

No, this is normal.

I just noticed this tonight and it's kind of perplexing.

My trophies for Zero and 2 are showing up in my trophy list as "Agarest Generations of War Zero" and "Agarest: Generation of War 2" despite owning NA copies of both games. My system language is set to "English (United States)" and Dictionary Type is "English (US), so it's not like it's pulling up my region as EU or anything. Not a big deal really, just struck me as odd and I was wondering if it was maybe something I did.

This game feels entirely long-winded. In the middle of Gen 3 and I feel like equal time I put into the other games I had greater progress. I'm not a fan of the new skill system because you have no way to fix any mistakes. You even equip a skill book and you can kiss learning one of the same type down the drain. You'd especially hate it if you unlock a better book down the line.

The game, depending, has long load times and lag within the first 15-20 minutes of play and randomly during some battles. This is also based on the digital copy available on PSN. There isn't much you can do about it and it lacks an install option with disc.

A personal dissatisfaction happens to be the second generation and how the way the main character behaves. Either due to the localization or just in general but it completely rubs me the wrong way. Overall though, the story feels mostly the same as the other ones. I'm honestly tired of the Agarest series at this point. I thought it was odd when Agarest Zero pulled the same archetypes as the first game but two games in a row is bothersome.

The new battle system fairly ok and is close to how Cross Edge's system but far less robust in my opinion. It all devolved into just me hitting X repeated using the exact multi-hit combo all day long. I don't think it was thought all the way through.

Overall, I favor Agarest Zero over this in terms of bang for buck and you got practically 2 stories for one price and a more refined UI from the first game. This one however needed a bit more work in my opinion if they were going to do something different but the quality of Idea Factory titles has clearly dropped. People still love their games though but I'm tired of favoring fanservice over working game mechanics. It is a highly flawed game but it is just my opinion. Not like I can sell it back though and I can only hope they make some major improvements to the series going forward.

I played all games from this universe: Record of Agarest War, Record of Agarest War Zero and now Record of Agarest War 2. And now I have mixed feelings. I compared fighting in all parts and want discuss about it:

Record of Agarest War - this tactical battle system has beeen very good in my opinion. BUT - demanding speed from player to get best end ( limit battle/turns ) made it hard to accoplish, considering random battles in exploration sites. Beside this trouble everything has been OK for me. Command links made me to try many formations and characters. Little uncear choice of heroines sometimes made me angry if girl I trained as my primary member of team not go in next generation

Record of Agarest War Zero - similiar as previous but no turn\battle limits made this one my favorite. And they do very easy to recognize girls as brides candidates. IMFO, the best game in saga.

Record of Agarest War 2 - EPIC FAIL. Inseat turn based strategy I get a button smasher. No thinking, no planning , speed, speed ,speed. So far I tried play , but this system not apply to me.

Lady Ayeka on "No one reviewing Record of Agarest War 2?"

Lady Ayeka — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 12:53:45 +0000

I played Agarest War and Agarest War Zero with true pleasure. But Agarest War 2 is a failture. Instead good turn based tactical battle I get arcade button masher. Don't like this battle system at all. Give me back previous style!!!

DJukor on "I wanted Record Of Agarest War 2 to have English Voice acting."

DJukor — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:12:41 +0000

English voice localization is a lot of work and it costs money however a game like Agarest isn't exactly mainstream and the few people that do play the series probably dont even care about the language of the voices.
And if they did do English voice localization its questionable if the game who'd be profitable once released if you take in to account the money needed to do the localization.
In fact id rather have the full japanise voices than having half of the games voices cut and only a few voiced English voices left in.
Just take The tales series for instance half of the games have the Skits totally cut out and the other half have the skits but no voice acting in them like the Japanese version.
Or the first Megaman ZX game or Growlancer IV ware the voices ware removed all together.
In fact i prefer to play all games in the native voice so Japanese games are always set to Japanese if the option is available.
And i also prefer to play German or Russian games in their respective language.
Like Deponia or Metro or Evil Islands.
But that is just me.

Also forgive the terrible English i can speak 4 languages and suck in all of them.

But then if you visit japan, there be a huge language barrier. How would American tourists be able to communicate. Even the customs and immigration officers may not speak english, and same thing could be for the flight there. How would tourists be able to do things like money transactions, etc?
