Imagine an RPG where the main character has to choose from multiple answers to a question... and they're all wrong.
His best friend is a hilarious gay stereotype who plays the trumpet in battle, wears more makeup than all the female characters combined, and desperately wants to fuck their mutual (male) friend who is the only normal person in the game. I just described the best character to you, by the way, so keep those expectations DOWN where I can see them.
Did I mention the main character mispronounces his gay buddies' name wrong most of the time? As well as the name of his hometown?
The most appealing party members aren't the ugly, boring main characters (besides the gay one), but the random robots you can construct. They speak "Golem-ese" or, as we call it here in the real world "Japanese, because they were too lazy to re-dub them".
This RPG is called Enchanted Arms. It was my first PS3 game, which is actually a port of the 360 version. What got added in the PS3 version? A minigame where you dance, whenever you want, at random, which fills up your special attack gauge. Some of the protagonist's dance moves include "shampooing my hair" and "stabbing the air with my penis".
The battle system is a hybrid of strategy RPG and regular RPG, but all that does is draw out the battles even longer than they would normally be. Some INAPPROPRIATELY EPIC BATTLE MUSIC PLAYS as my little girl maid robot thing shoots a giant pizza robot (no, REALLY), repeat this over and over again. This sounds cool, but trust me, this game can even mess THAT up.
X-Play's review gives you a good idea about how... unique this game is. The voice acting samples mixed with the dancing footage creates a unique failure milkshake that is unparalleled in the gaming world.
I really do think Atsuma is probably the worst RPG hero ever, which is saying A LOT, and I've played less than 10 hours of this game. It's an amusing trainwreck of a game to play through, but I'm thinking even Tidus would say "geez dude, get yourself together".
And yet, I'm thinking of playing it some more this weekend. Someone help me.
