I guess it's not too much of a surprise given that this is an Ubi game, but Easy on this game is labeled "Normal," and Normal is labeled "Hard."

True. To be honest, I went with Hard on my play through, on GAF's advice, and man am I glad I did. The game really wasn't that difficult at all, even on Hard. Granted I did grind a fair bit, but I still only died a handful of times, usually just out of complacency or a lack of finding the right tactical flow.

Glad to hear it is doing well. Hopefully Valiant Hearts can find similar success, it seems to be getting less promotion.

Yea, unless you are power leveling some of the fights and especially boss battles get challenging.

 

[shinra-bansho]

it's doing well from what I hear. if it keeps selling at a nice pace, everyone should be relatively happy. ps4 doing better than expected, the rest okay to meh

Curious, but do you think this is because there's a boxed retail release?

 

[Frillen]

It's entered Media Create Sales top 20 chart on its release week, so I think it's safe to say as success at least sales-wise.

Entering the media create top 20 doesn't automatically make anything a success these days.

Well I think you could say that for most games, normal is normally not very challenging, but it just seemed especially bad with CoL. It's very rare I don't die at least once in a game, although most games have more opportunity for death I guess.

Hope so, I was going to pick it up after watchdogs. Will wait for the physical vita version now though.

While I'm kind of disappointed with ACIV and W_D I highly praise Ubi for their recent UbiArt activities. Played the crap out of Rayman Legends and CoL. Can't wait for Valiant Hearts. I love the style, art, music of all these games!

 

[Damigos]

Nah that's not a sign really. Even if it wasn't that big of a success, they'd still likely want to get all out of the potential sales, since porting generally isn't that expensive.

Success in sales obviously. Meaning, if Ubi considers it a success.

We would have to ask Ubi then..For me, yes, it was a success. A title i really enjoyed at a good price

 

[kulapik]

I love how the retail version is both PS3 & PS4 on the same disc, very cool feature for the consumer.

It's not actually a disc, but a download code.

 

[Gazkapop]

It definitely was in my eyes. And that's coming from someone like me who's basically never played or really cared for turn-based RPGs or JRPGs ever.

I would love it if Ubi made a sequel.

 

[Ashtar]

This has to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing games I've ever played the game is just gorgeous and I love the soundtrack. However I'm not a fan of turned based RPGs (unless it's xcom) and since I'm not power leveling some of these fights are really hard on hard. If I don't ambush my opponent and immediately put the beats on my opponent I can get killed by random mooks.
I kind of feel like I'd enjoy it more if if wore a platformers or adventure game, maybe that's why they made normal so easy

 

[Skele7on]

Having completed this game I am upset,
the art and the graphics were the best.
the tunes and the laughs
made this game were worlds apart
I hope it was a success
otherwise I'll be really depressed
a sequel would be the best.

 

[StuBurns]

Child of Light,
It was surely a visual sight,
And an auditory delight,
There is but one huge blight,
Other than the easy slight,
The rhyming shit was terrible.

 

[Philippo]

It's Ubisoft, so pbviously they'll milk it.

Spoiler

jk

Anyway i'm really enjoying it and would welcome a more refined, and most of all longer, sequel.

Do you think they should keep the same style? A fully 3d world would be delicious with that artstyle. I'd be okay with both.

edit: also Ubisoft for god's sake just drop the rhymes.
