Noctis Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Cross Edge Developers: Capcom, Nippon Ichi, Namco Bandai, Gust and Idea Factory Publishers: (JP) Idea Factory, (NA) NIS America Designer: Compile Heart Platform: PlayStation 3 Release dates: (JP) September 25, 2008 (NA) May 20, 2009 Genre: Tactical role-playing game Cross Edge is an RPG developed by Capcom, Nippon Ichi, Namco Bandai, Gust, and Idea Factory, released September 25, 2008 in Japan. The game features turn-based battles, a plot that involves rescuing souls, and the ability to dress the female characters of your party in a wide variety of outfits, from PE clothes to devil costumes. The game features characters from Darkstalkers, Disgaea, Ar tonelico, Spectral Souls, Atelier Marie and Mana-Khemia 2. It is a traditional Japanese role-playing game complete with world map, random battles, level grinding, item synthesis and talking anime portraits. The real charm of Cross Edge comes from the fact that so many different characters unite in a single story. The start of Cross Edge is unquestionably surreal. Main character, Miko, begins by delivering a monologue where she muses about what happens when your thoughts are immediately forgotten. Where do they go? What do they do? That's what the "world" of Cross Edge is all about -- it's a place where a person's lost thoughts and a collection of forgotten ideas go when they disappear.

More like this gen consoles needs good jrpgs. Cross Edge doesn't look very attractive, but seeing most of the good looking games have disappointed so far Ill put my faith in the gameplay.

blackheart2925 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Cross Edge slashes to PS3s today: Trophies await! As of today (May 26th), Cross Edge has officially been released! Yes!! Cross Edge is a dream-come-true RPG for hardcore gamers. It is the first RPG on PLAYSTATION 3 that has 5 different companies collaborating for one incredible adventure! You’ll see some familiar faces from Darkstalkers (Capcom); Disgaea (Nippon Ichi Software); Ar tonelico (Bandai Namco); Atelier Marie and Mana Khemia 2 (Gust); and Spectral Souls (Idea Factory). And all the characters are playable. Isn’t that cool? You can also collect costumes for all the different characters, and their stats and abilities will change depending on which costume they are wearing. And when you change costumes on female characters, their appearance will also change! It’s really cute! If you are into these characters, Cross Edge is a must-have! I would also like to talk a bit about the battle system. Cross Edge has a unique hybrid battle system that combines a classic RPG setup with an intuitive grid-based SRPG style. In battle, a square grid will appear beneath the units, and players can move their characters around during their combat phase. Some units are better at close combat and others at ranged combat, so players must strategically move their units to battle enemies. Enemy units will also move around the grid in order to defeat you, so you will have to be alert at all times to fight effectively. As with many other PS3 games, Cross Edge comes with a slew of awesome trophies. Here's a sneak peek at the requirements to acquire the Bronze, Silver, and Gold trophies! First of all, there are a total of 23 trophies; 5 of them are Bronze, 11 of them are Silver, and 7 of them are Gold. After acquiring them all, you will of course receive the Platinum trophy. Here is the list of trophies, along with their descriptions! Bronze - The Entitled: Unlock any trophy. Bronze – The Bully: Defeat 100 enemy units. Bronze – The Newbie: Survive 35 battles. Bronze – The Badass: Exceed 10,000 points of total damage. Bronze – The Juggler: Exceed a 50-hit combo! Silver – The Skywalker: Reach 300 AGI. (Equipment’s effect doesn’t count.) Silver – The Meat Shield: Reach 300 VIT. (Equipment’s effect doesn’t count.) Silver – The Juicer: Reach 300 STR. (Equipment’s effect doesn’t count.) Silver – The Know-It-All: Reach 300 INT. (Equipment’s effect doesn’t count.) Silver – The Gambler: Reach 300 LCK. (Equipment’s effect doesn’t count.) Silver – The Stalker: Unlock all character profiles. (Use the % on the upper-right screen) Silver – The Patron: Unlock all gallery art. (Use the % on the upper-right screen) Silver – The God of Death: Defeat 3,000 enemy units. Silver – The Highlander: Survive 900 battles. Silver – The World Champ: Exceed 1,000,000 points of total damage! Silver – The Aggressor: Exceed a 400-hit combo. Gold – The Gun Runner: Collect every type of weapon. Gold – The Battle Ready: Collect every type of armor. Gold – The Fashionista: Collect every type of accessory. Gold – The Packrat: Collect every type of item. Gold – The Grave Robber: Find 150 hidden items using Search. Gold – The Dood: Earn the true ending. (Unlocked after the true ending.) Gold – The Hikikomori: Earn every single title. (Unlocked when all the title are given at the guild. Each title is counted when unlocked, so if you don’t do this task from the beginning, you may not reach the point.) Let me explain what “Hikikomori” means. In Japan, they call a person who stays at home all the time and never really interacts with other human beings “Hikikomori”. I guess a literal translation would be “a being confined” and “social withdrawal”. You’ll definitely have to stay home for days in order to earn all the in-game titles. So, you’ll certainly earn the title of Hikikomori :-) Thanks in advance for playing Cross Edge that much! Anyway, you’ve got a lot of work ahead of you to earn that trophy! Good luck! Before I let you all go, I would also like to share some information about the upcoming downloadable content for Cross Edge. We’re currently working on the DLC, and there will be new costumes for the girls, powerful items, extra dungeons, and lots more! We’ll let you know when it will be available as the DLC release date approaches. in the words of the immortal Bard - to buy or not to buy, that is the question! any chance of this showing up in TP cause some mad PS3 owner would be buying this and selling it off ? *wink, wink...nudges KC* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Reviews Famitsu 23 /40 IGN 3.5/10 A game that could have been an entertaining compilation of iconic Japanese characters turned out to be a frustrating, awkward mess of menus, Gameplay imbalances and annoying dialogue scenes. GameZone 4.5/10 Cross Edge not only fails to be a compelling Japanese RPG but it makes for one seriously awkward and uninspiring game. Skipping this game isn’t a bad idea unless you can look past the many things wrong with this game. Official PlayStation Magazine (US) 3/5 From dialogue that loads one line at a time to the lack of PS3-level graphics (high-res static art aside), everything seems like a remnant from the early 2000s.
