Shadow Hearts

NEEDS more LOVE.

Has anyone else played the games?!

ANY of them!?

I FEEL VERY ALONE IN MY LOVE RIGHT NOW. ;_;

(Seriously. Yuri is the most amazing protagonist of any game, ever, and I suddenly felt this annoyance for the fact I haven't found another SH fan yet. AND THE VALENTINE SIBLINGS! D8 I NEED TO DISCUSS THEIR AWESOMENESS!)

My ex was a big SH player, always meant to get the game...of course, I forget which one it was. Never played it myself, though. Sadface.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuri~~~~

I love how it's like, kinda history but not? Yes? Like, historical-ish places and events. Kinda. Yeah.

Never heard of it..

Never played it..

( Feels missed out )

Play it! Play it!

There's... one? title on PS1 (dunno, haven't played this) and two that I've played on PS2~
Uh... I rent them from the United Video near me, but I haven't actually seen them to buy in stores ;o;

It has a cool battle system -- turn based, and using a 'Judgement Ring', where you need to get your timing right. It's hard to explain without using diagrams or something, lol.

By Pyro. 30/09/08, 11:00 am

The PS1 game is called Koudelka, and all it shares with the series is a similar history and three characters. ^^

There are three for the PS2: Shadow Hearts, SH:Covenant (THE BEST GAME IN THE SERIES, PHWOOOAR.) and SH: From the New World.

And what Bekah says is right. The battle system is so difficult to explain without some kind of drawings to help. ;_;
(Though not as exclectic as Valkyrie Profile. >>;; )

PHWAAAAAAAAAA!

YURI FTW. -squeals-

Hey, Bekah, did you know that Alice's VA is coming to Auckgeddon?

(I'm excited. Totally gonna get her to sign something for me.)

By bekah. 30/09/08, 12:40 pm

O rly? I'm not even sure if I'm going to Auckgeddon, lol.

I love Covenant :'D
I wanna play it nowwww. Do you own any of them? I'm desperate to buy them~ *hasn't checked trademe yet*

I'm clever and read the URL as 'might yape'.

Oooh, better than Gamesmans' price.
I'd rather Covenant though. Hmm...

Amazon has all of them, including the first on PS2. Oh~ decisions~

**Guest** Guest

Theirs a video store at Orakei selling covenant for like $30 me thinks Razz

By bekah. 30/09/08, 02:03 pm

Ohohoho~ the plot thickens.

Any of them would be great, buuuuuuuuuut... I lack money. As usual. I blame the school fair and its overpriced-ness and lack of actual food D:

**Guest** Guest

sucks to be you lol Razz

well you could always steal it

By bekah. 30/09/08, 02:21 pm

I'm totally not hardxcore like that though D:

**Guest** Guest

I love Covenant too.
And I don't own it either. -_-

I'm scouting all the stores in CHCH for it, though, and when I find it, it's buying-time.

Which is your favorite of Yuri's fusions in it?

Mine is Miserati, but I think that Seraphic Radiance (or Dark Seraphim, or whatever it's called) looks like it'll be cool when I get it. ;D

By Zorlich. 30/09/08, 04:53 pm

oh Man I loooooooved Covenant, know someone who has it too ;), I'm currently playing From the New world, and I can't get into it as much, I don't like the timeline, and I don't like Johnny, or Shania, or Frank, no way Frank, I'm only up to alcatraz because I keep getting bored.

By bekah. 01/10/08, 02:16 am

Yeah, I think I like Covenant's era more than FtNW. Even though FtNW has Chicago & Capone, etc. ((((:

Frank is sick, lol. I really dislike him, and he is a blatant rip-off of Joachim how he picks the stuff up from the ground... =___=

@Pyro -- I like Miserati too~ except he is like, womanly. I tend to use it a lot though. I like Nox! And Amon |D

By Pyro. 01/10/08, 08:14 am

Amon is cool. ;D
I just find him a bit too meaty and buff to be appealing, though.

xD
And Miserati is totally effeminate, but hell, that's what's so awesome about it. I feel kind of bad for the looks Yuri would've been getting from the party when he first awakens the fusion, though, don't you?
(Who wouldn't raise their eyebrows and/or laugh at a blue androgyne in a sparkly gold g-string bikini?)

Still, Kurando's Tsukiyomi blows Miserati out of the effeminate waters immediately for being an actual woman. xD
Poor Kurandooo~

By bekah. 01/10/08, 01:38 pm

But Kurando can kinda pull it off, for some reason... More than Yuri, I think. Kurando seems more feminine though~

By Pyro. 01/10/08, 07:08 pm

Mm, I would agree with you there.

Yuri's probably one of the most manly protagonists I've seen in an RPG, really... So I guess, we need Kurando to fill in the quota for the 'pretty, effeminate supernatural being' that seems necessary in any game.

By Lavi_x. 12/10/08, 01:41 pm

Judgement rings with timing?
Sounds like Lost Odyssey

By Hayate. 27/10/08, 11:57 am

I have played all of them. I love 1 and 2 but i think 3 was kinda boring. Maybe because Yuri wasn't in it and the story angle was more cartoony.

By Pyro. 27/10/08, 12:30 pm

Also, 3 didn't have a gay tailor that flirted with your party. D= Booo~~~
(Or Yuri. That too.)
