By the way, is anybody getting Arcana Heart 3? I've... never played any of its predecessors so I'm wondering if it'd be a good addition as I'm trying to make my latest PlayAsia worth the money I spent by... spending more money. From I've seen of it recently, it looks pretty fun if you're totally into fighters, which I am.
Arcana Heart 2 looks badass if you like pixelated sprites even on PS2 (which has lower res, thus - theoretically - easier sprite , so I won't really up the ante on hope
I mean, sprites! SPRITES dangit. Not hardcore 3D render or something, and they couldn't make it right.
Also, it has no tutorial whatsoever, so IDK, I myself don't like it when you don't know what to do to make something happen. Fighting games like Sf or MK or even Naruto doesn't have the weird mechanism Arcana Heart sport. I mean, I summoned my spirit, now what do I do? It doesn't do anything much, and I don't know what to do with it, and soon it disappears :/
At least other fighting games sport the same rule: bash every button, unleash random mayhem (Tekken 3's King's ultimate combo springs to mind)
