The dubs in Shining Resonance Refrain are glorious and the voice acting is professionally perfected by the actors. Music: Sleepy soundtrack, perfect voice acting The sidequests are mostly easy to achieve, but they get bored by the last few chapters because they keep on repeating the same quests.įor gameplay, I’m giving Shining Resonance Refrain a 5. It’s not that necessary, but you have the option to do this for relationship bonuses. I’m not that bothered with the dating simulation gameplay that is added into this game. It definitely adds more umpf to your party in defeating enemies, especially if your protagonist is all dragoned up. Singing to buff your party is quite handy though and I like it. Turning into a dragon looks cool and all, but when you hit the enemy, the cardboard hitting issue surfaces. Some are flashy enough, but most of the characters have pretty dull abilities. It looked like they were recycled animations of the previous abilities and they just added small special effects and better damage. The abilities that get unlocked for a few characters are not notable as well, they look bland. It’s almost like hitting a cardboard drawing with added special effects to it. The Tales of franchise is vastly superior compared to this one and every time you hit an enemy with a sword of a spell, you know you are hitting them with the best weapons or spells you’ve got. I hate to compare with it other franchises, but it the gameplay looks the same with the Tales of series. Sure I see some slight animation when my character hits an enemy with his weapon, but I don’t feel satisfied with it. Gameplay: Fighting enemies doesn’t feel satisfactory Too much cliché, weak-ass character, slow burn. So yeah, prepare for a long, slow burn and endure the boring chapters for a while before you get to the interesting parts.įor the story, I give Shining Resonance Refrain a 4. Then in the last few chapters, you get some sudden character development, surprising plot twists, betrayals, and anything that could surprise you. The story itself is quite the drag to follow because at first few chapters were so sleepy, so dragging, and so cliché. Actually, I slept a few times reading the lines in certain scenes. the pain of it all! Again, skipped most of them because it’ll just make me sleepy. I find myself skipping some lines instead after reading them way too fast and got tired of them voicing those lines. It should’ve been short and in bursts, not some long and dragged conversation. It’s like they are acting while reading a script. We only see the characters standing there with the dialogue box below. OMG, the dialogue is way too long to read! Sure, the main story dialogues are voiced, but dammit we almost don’t see some action. ![]() ![]() Waaaaaaaaay later, in the last 2-3 chapters of the game. This guy is so indecisive and runs away when cornered. There must be others, but at least in the early chapters, they must have some courage to fight against evil and such. By far, the wimpiest protagonist I have ever played in a video game. I’ll just let this out of my chest before we move on: why in the damn hell is the protagonist so damn wimpy?!?! I know that that’s how his character was built, to be super compassionate and all, but come on! Dude at least has to be man enough to talk back to other people and not stutter a lot. Story: Super slow burn, wimpy protagonist, super cliché resolution The visuals are pretty sweet, but some spots are bland as well. The special effects for powers are not that overblown though, so there’s that.įor visuals, I’ll give this an 8. I have not seen any delayed action, delayed lip movement. The animation of the characters is fluid as well. The best part is the 60 frame per second feature, which is present on all platforms. The cell shading is quite the feat as well since the whole game pretty much mixes well with the game engine. The designs are decent and pleasing to the eyes, nothing too erotic, and not super conservative. Since I am a fan of his works, I thought there was going to be a lot of fan service, but to my surprise, it was pretty normal looking. ![]() One of the notable features of this beautiful game is its character designs, which was done by the one and only Tony Taka.
