I think I have a few more than that! Mushihime Tama, Pink Sweets, Hokuto no Ken, etc... And they are ALL unique (well, the newer ones, at any rate) in terms of quality ;)

Me too! Who knows how long we'll have to wait for that. No one knows about this game. Those who HAVE mentioned it seem to have got even the title wrong (Sengoku "Fengshenden", which sounds to me like a Chinese person's "transliteration" -- probably originating from Play-Asia or some such place).
Recap wrote:It indeed surprises me that you wrote a "review" with only 6 hours of play. What if the game is 40-hours-long and has extra hardcore scenarios?
I was expecting someone to bring that up sooner or later. I am going to write an article on this subject, so I'll respond to you then. It's a fairly important question. How long are you supposed to play a game before you can review it? Can games really be "finished"? How do you finish basketball or Civilization? Etc. etc.
For the present case I'll just say that even if Twelve's final, say, five battles were the best SRPG battles ever made, that would STILL not have convinced me to spend even a SINGLE extra hour playing the kind of boring scenarios I played in the first six hours.
Bottom line is if I could have those six hours back I'd sure as hell take them, and that would be the only compensation I'd be happy with from Konami at this point.
PS. And really, I honestly do not appreciate your use of quotation marks on the word 'review'. Any way you look at it my review is a valid one -- wasting any more of my life on such a sub-mediocre game would have been nothing less than stupid.
