Hi ! I played the demo of Eternal Eden and i must say that this game isn’t hard at all. Maybe you tried to play it to fast so you can write a preview of it but when you take the time to do 80% of the thing you are supposed to do , everything goes find. Any other RPG from SNES era was like that , you can’t do the game to fast or you’ll be stuck. You are right to say that you can’t come back and i think that Blossomsoft should incorporate some sort of a ’’arena’’ where you can practice and get some XP for people like you , who play the game in a hurry. I can’t wait to buy Eternal Eden .. the demo was really good and remind me of Lufia and Zelda. Why haven’t you talk about the puzzle and scenario in your review , those are MAJOR part of the game. And parralels world ? People who played the demo and read your review understand perfectly that you didn’t want to really enjoy this game , seem like you did it as a ’’job’’ instead of playing it like a gamers. This is my opinon. Dany

OMG don’t tell me you haven’t even played 1 puzzle , that would mean you didn’t even beat the first boss .. nice preview man , great job !

Let me get some things cleared up here. I DID come across a few puzzles and got to the second boss (just so you know) and yeah the fact there are puzzle elements in there is a good thing. I took a good 2 days on this game and had gotten to the stage where I simply couldn’t battle any further, as there were no more enemies to help me level up. RPG games are played by many people at many different levels (and before anyone gets a cheap shot in, I HAVE played a fair few).

At the end of the day this is a PREVIEW and I’m only pointing things out that I see from a neutral’s standpoint. I’m hoping the review code will be better and allow for everyone to play this, as I do want games like this to do well. Hell, I grew up on Secret of Mana, Zelda and Chrono Trigger, so I have a soft spot for Role Players, but then I can see you’ll quite clearly disagree with me anyhow.

I just want to say, something quite important has come to light with regards to this game and how hard I was finding it, which has now made it much easier to get through, so I’m now flying past the second boss and finding it a lot more interesting.

Just so you know, I’ve asked to get this back to alter things as what I’ve found is a MAJOR thing and needs rectified before release, so that people don’t have the same issues I did.

Hello Billy, I’m the maker of EE. I honestly liked your article very much even if the third page made me smile No, I’m lying, I actually smashed my PC monitor. Lol joking.

I think your complains were justifiable. I prefer someone who judges the game for its difficulty than someone flaming it for superficial reasons.

I found myself in frustrating situations in the past with ‘impossible’ games. Xenosaga II was among them (although many hardcore gamers claim that once you understand Xenosaga battle system it’s very easy.)

Anyway I can understand perfectly frustration behind a hard game. I thought EE was extremely easy, but of course I’m the maker of this RPG and I know every secret about this game.

Now you’re making me very curious about your latest post.

Have a great day!

I’ve been following this with some interest as is my job ;) Elder should be applauded for taking the preview article at face value and understanding that we are not trying to belittle his work but in fact simply want it to be the best game possible. Billy has sent me the issue in question that was holding him back and I passed that on to Elder as well. Which is simply a word usage problem heh.

Now I’m curious and want to play the game too!
