Odin Sphere 8D

So, my dear friends, I just finished Odin Sphere. WIth the good ending. And boy, if that is the good ending, I do not want to see the bad one D: So sad if with a happy outlook.

Anyway, I would definitely rec this game. It's fun, the battle system is easy and yet fun, the art is incredibly beautiful (I lovelovelove the design of the forest where Velvette and Ingvay are living) and the syncro is great. The story is engaging and interesting. I found it a bit confusing in the beginning because of the crossing of the different timelines, but it's still fun and is so intriguing when you combine them in the end.

A negative thing is also the design in a few places; Velvette´s outfit (because, damn, she's fighting in lingerie and the way she's walking? Questionable.) and the horrible breast design of the fairy queen and the fire spirits. Those are... kinda nasty. "Balloons" is all I can say. But they do bounce funnily the whole time.

Feeding the characters with all kind of beautifully designed food is fun if a bit tedious at times, because it takes a while to get the recipes and you never have enough space to carry all the ingredients you need XD And the voices of the Pooka girls in the café and restaurant are horrible. So grating. However, it was still overall a fun aspect.

Also, I would advise anybody to play through the books at least twice so that the characters comfortably can level up. If you get them over level 40 with a few antidots, elixiers and roasted lambs in their bags, then the last villains will be no great problem. And since you can easily skip all cutscenes on your second playthrough, it won't take so long (and because you're already strong you can really, really rush through the first through chapters)

So go and buy that shit 8D
