    While not every idea in Edge of Eternity fully gels, developer Midgar Studio gets enough right that the game feels familiar and welcoming – a fantastic classic RPG in modern clothing. With fun characters, a solid battle system, and just enough surprises to maintain the player’s attention, Edge of Eternity announces the arrival of Midgar to the top echelon of JRPG developers.

    There’s no denying that Edge of Eternity certainly has a rough quality about it, and I could easily see people viewing its slow beginning as being too much of an obstacle to continue with it. But its robust, tactical-minded nexus battle system, wealth of content, and the eventual pick up of its story gradually warmed me to it. This was clearly a labor of love by the developers, even if it isn’t a perfect product. I enjoyed Edge of Eternity enough that I can only hope that there will be some kind of continuation to Daryon and Selene’s tale in the future… With plenty of Ysoris, of course!

    10 hours of gameplay! Gorgeous! We are talking about a team of 10 people who have made a product with heart and mind and a boundless love10 hours of gameplay! Gorgeous! We are talking about a team of 10 people who have made a product with heart and mind and a boundless love for old generation jrpg. Music, combat and sets are beautiful, colorful and inspired, even the English dubbing amazed me with its quality! Congratulations to this small team that I hope has more budget in the future to give us a perfect Jrpg. The only flaws I find concern the camera that occasionally does strange things, and the protagonists' facial animation, which at times seems a bit out of context. But for now what to say. WHAT A GREAT GAME… Full Review »

    An uninspired mess with big ambition but poor execution.

    It's a largely empty world filled with forgettable characters, mediocre art    An uninspired mess with big ambition but poor execution.

    It's a largely empty world filled with forgettable characters, mediocre art direction, and confused design principles. It tries (and fails) to emulate the success of the JRPGs of yesteryear, but does absolutely nothing exceptional.

    The writing is substandard, with plot holes everywhere and and refusal to push the player to feel any sort of urgency outside of the opening tutorial section. The humor is out of place, and although the developer attempted to shoehorn in some lighthearted moments, it falls flat and feels awkward when the player isn't emotionally invested enough in what's going on to need a funny one-liner to ease the tension.

    Everything here just screams average, yet there's going to be a large subsection of the gaming population who is going to try to tell you that the game is great because it was made by a small team, and that people are being too harsh on it, etc. Everyone needs to remember that when you're paying for a product, you can't make excuses for someone who is providing a substandard experience and trying to take your money for it. Stop excusing lazy developers and poor work.    … Full Review »

    Graphics =3 laggy and blurry inconsistent visuals with glitches that can make entire screen flash white at times. Needlessly big world that isGraphics =3 laggy and blurry inconsistent visuals with glitches that can make entire screen flash white at times. Needlessly big world that is empty and takes to long to traverse with vast empty spaces.
    Character animations are substandard by indie psp game level of standards, facial animations are hideous and creepy.

    Gameplay =2 allot of gimmicks none especially polished and repetitive puzzles. In battle why do you need to first press R2 then X,X to attack, when other RPGs just press manage with x, repetitive fetch quests that just mark a huge circle on the map that you need to search. Weapons and rewards from quests immediately "10 min later" become replaced making these fetching searching quests unrewarding.

    Story= 3 unlikeble characters that you just don't care about, story that is kind of bland and forgettable.

    Sound= 7 Great soundtrack and nice voice acting sometimes unbalanced sound levels like during load times song plays much higher then rest.    … Full Review »
