STELLA GLOW

[BroRarity]

Has anyone ever played or has planned on playing Stella Glow for the 3DS
I've only had the luck of playing the demo so far, but I plan on buying it soon :3


For people interested, it includes...
-Japanese/Anime-style art and graphics
-Music oriented as far as the storyline for music lovers, and it has beautiful and well-made soundtracks
-JRPG/Similar to Fire Emblem gameplay
-Most (if not all) characters are well developed in art design and as characters themselves
-The storyline is amazing (unlike FE: Awakening, which I didn't particularly care for after the events of the war with the first bad guy (forgot name))


I was already able to appreciate so much of the game during the demo that it has gotten me quite hooked. xD

I've heard mixed things but I'm interested. I just can't even consider it until March because of being PAL.

On the other hand, by the time it's out over here I'll be able to check out a bunch of sites to see how good/bad it really is.

I've had it for a week, but haven't had time to actually play it yet. Kinda just bought it off a whim as I enjoyed the Ar Tonelico games to some extent, and this game seems to borrows elements from that (as well as Ar Nosurge) so I'm expecting to get some enjoyment out of it at the very least. :) Once I finish up on Yo-kai Watch, I'll give it a go.

I've bought since released, and have finished it since. I enjoyed it. It was far from the best SRPG experience, I've ever played. But, it's a cute little game that might itch a person's SRPG fix. If anyone has played Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics, or even Luminous Arc, you'll feel right at home. It has everything you would expect from that sort of structure, meaning height, direction-changing, and back-attacks.

The music is definitely one of the more memorable aspects of the game. Amatsu battle theme and the Angel theme are pretty darn kick-ass, for the few that pop from my head. Most of the vocal tracks are great, with the only exception of one, being a hit or miss with some people. Still, if you're familiar with Japanese voice actors, you might appreciate some of the vocalist like Emi Nitta, Yoshino Nanjo, Maaya Uchida, etc.

I do have a couple of gripes though. One of the biggest one, being objective variety. For a good portion of the game it's kill boss and protect NPC. The problem with this is that most strategies divulge into CHOKE THE POINT and sending Rusty and Nonoka to gank bosses. Thank god, there are side-objectives though. That makes you slightly adjust your strategy just a bit, but it's better than nothing.

Oh, one big disclaimer. There are no class changes aside from a handful of characters. I've read that people were expecting to be like FFT with different jobs and vocations. That isn't the case. Everyone has preset skill sets and such.

For the plot. So, uh, lol. I've jokingly called this game Luminous Arc 2: Redux for many reasons. The plot being one of them. If you've played Luminous Arc 2, you'll have a pretty good idea on what will happen.

Go in with some low - mild expectations, and a person would get some enjoyment out of it for sure. On a side note, I'm sort of glad that imageepoch's last hurrah was with a callback to Luminous Arc, their very first franchise and game.

Yeah, Stella Glow has Tuning as their version of the Genometrics/Cosmosphere. It doesn't get as in-depth or crazy like the Ar series, but it's essentially the same premise.

I enjoyed every bit of this, as much as I hate the lack of a job system, I think the game itself has already proven to me enough through the demo that I want this game asap xD

Neat summary, cheers. I'm somewhat interested in it. Something based on music usually gets my interest, but I do also want good gameplay. At the moment I may consider it if there's a sale, but given around then I'll have the likes of Bravely Second and Fire Emblem to enjoy, it will play second fiddle (pun unintended).
