Battle Fantasia (360) Entry Questions:

I don't play many fighting games, so I don't get very excited about announcements for them unless there is something I feel is interesting about them.
How do you feel about the character design and style of Battle Fantasia?
I think the characters and art style in Battle Fantasia look great.

From the Abyss (DS) Entry Answers:

  1. What are some of the key elements that you look for in a Action RPG title? RPG elements like new and different skills that help break up the monotony of sometimes very simplistic hack and slash gameplay.
  2. If you’ve heard of From The Abyss, where did you hear it from? I believe I first picked up rumour pieces from RPGamer.com and continued to do a bit more digging on my own as not many news sites really covered the japanese release of the game.
  3. Name 3 gaming sites you visit regularly and why. Kotaku.com would be my most regularly visited as it is great for random gaming news on a variety of topics within and around the industry. Shoryuken.com would be second as I'm deeply enthusiastic with fighting games right after my deep love for japanese style rpgs, and the blog/forum is much more focused on fighting games in general, as well as comes up with information threads on fighting game based information much faster than other journalism outlets. Lastly would be IGN as they have probably the most enjoyable podcasts of most sites and funny enough is how I was convinced to pay CAG a visit since there was basically an entire podcast devoted to how awesome CAG was.


Battle Fantasia (360) Entry Answers:

  1. Do get excited at the prospect of the announcement of any new fighting game or do you only care about your favorite fighting game series? I get really excited about all new fighting games announced as any new fighting game is always good to help push the genre. It's a hard genre to get people into, but with a community any fighting game can be fun.
  2. How do you feel about the character design and style of Battle Fantasia? I really love the oddball characters like Watson with unique fighting styles. In general though, most if not all of the characters in Battle Fantasia look interesting in both gameplay and visual designs which is rare.
  3. Do you prefer 2D or 3D fighters and why? Personally I enjoy 2D fighting games more as fighting games have insane amounts of replay value and in general, 2D games age much better. The games also have a different feel to them because of how they are designed. Often times 3D fighters with jumping or any vertical movement feel very floaty while they try to imitate 2D games, but how they look in 3D makes them feel different even if the timing is matched (for instance Street Fighter 4). It's nice to see much more fast paced games such as Battle Fantasia though that try to do best with what they are using rather than try to imitate 2D with 3D models.

  2. How do you feel about the character design and style of Battle Fantasia?
  3. Do you prefer 2D or 3D fighters and why?
1. I get excited for any new fighting game. I love seeing new moves and charachters. It's always fun
2. I love the design of these charachters and the colors! seems awesome!
3. I prefer 2D fighter games. They are the best! I grew up with 2D and love it. Designers also get to spend more time on gameplay and less on camera angles and everything. Wish more 2D games would be made =/

Battle Fantasia

  1. Do get excited at the prospect of the announcement of any new fighting game or do you only care about your favorite fighting game series?
    -I like many fighting games series so I don't discriminate. This one looks promising!
  2. How do you feel about the character design and style of Battle Fantasia? I really like the animation and art style.
  3. Do you prefer 2D or 3D fighters and why? There really isn't much of a difference between the two for me so I don't have a preference. 3d fighters are pretty much 2d fighters with walls and sidesteps.
 
Battle Fantasia (360) Entry Questions:

  1. Do get excited at the prospect of the announcement of any new fighting game or do you only care about your favorite fighting game series? Any fighter has me at hello. I do have certain favorites such as Dead or Alive or Street Fighter, but I'm willing to try anything.
  2. How do you feel about the character design and style of Battle Fantasia? At first I was rather put off by them, but I got used to it, I enjoy the musically historic look to the characters and backgrounds.
  3. Do you prefer 2D or 3D fighters and why? Very difficult question for me. It's like asking who your favorite kid is. I enjoy any type of fighting game as long as it's good. Considering I started out with Street Fighter, and have loved it since, I'd give 2D fighters a slight edge there.

1. I know it isn't correct to answer a question with another question but, How do you not get stoked about a new fighting game coming out?. Some of the best games for consols are fighting games. Regardless of the expert rating I always at least give them a rent.

2. The Characters look pretty cool. The vivid colors and anime esque design seems to make them pop. I haven't seen any video of the animations and game play but seems to me as if the characters set it a bit apart from the standard MK and SF.

3. I grew up playing a ton of SF and MK and love the 2D stuff. I have played a few of the 3D. But for pure playing satisfaction in a party atmosphere I perfer the 2D.

1. Do you prefer 2D or 3D fighters and why?
I like them both but since i grew up old school i usually go for
the 2D Fighters because They show the artistry of the hand drawn
sprite and you can see the feeling they put into that drawing.
It just feels better.
