Seeing the end with Song of the Ocean |
Ó
Finally, it has come to an end. And what a majestic end it was for Legend of Heroes. Once again, Nihon Falcom pulls up an intricate tale of friendship much deeper than the depths of the ocean. As their last hurrah for the Legend of Heroes series, this was more than apt to say goodbye to one of the best RPGs out there. The heart of Legend of Heroes is the story. The story of the Song of the Ocean revolves around two friends, Forte and Una, who share a passion for music. When Forte's grandfather, McBain, receives a music book with a power to save the world, the two went on the quest to solve the mystery hidden in the book's Water Melody. Hence, this starts a soulful trail for the lost notes.
According to Siliconera, the game boasts lovely visuals that remind you of the 16bit games of yesteryear. It even has anime FMVs that heightens your game experience. The music ties the player with the game and the visuals that you can find yourself lost in the songs. One can say that it leaves a soothing feeling, as though you were close to an ocean yourself.
In terms of gameplay, the battle system is slightly different compared to other Legend of Heroes series as you can change your characters in the middle of gameplay. More so, as one levels up and gains new spells, he could only use it granted that he equips the necessary stone for it.
But despite the lovely new things that come with the game, there are some things that just doesn't work. The battles are still long and 'useless', as said by Siliconera. There were also some grammatical errors in the game. But these things won't deter a happy gamer who has now sunk into the bottom of Song of the Ocean's reverie. In the end, it's all about the story, right? And what a great story this game is.

I hate to see it ending :( The Legend of Heroes series is one of the best RPGs around IMO. Yea, the battles aren't that great, but the stories are really worth it in the end. And by the way...its cheaper at Best Buy ;), only $30 rather than the $40 at the link.
Isn't there more LoH in the series? Japan already got #4 and this time the port was made by falcom them self and not a half ass job by someone else (cough bandai/konami godawful Ys port).
Scrach that. Falcom ported the 6th game in the series. http://www.rpgamer.com/games/loh/loh6/screens/loh6ss051806.html The game is avalible in japan for quite some time (I already have it for psp).
I will buy this game for sure, and about that 6th title you can forget about it getting here in the US. Even though I want to play it I won't bother cuz I won't enjoy it as much as if it was in english. and FALCOM pleas prove me wrong and port all the LOH titles and Ys Felghana and Origin, It would be the best thing for the PSP.
The best rpg on the psp in my opinion is still tales of eternia. iv played loh 2 and 3 and it is disgusting. Very child like script and no real sense of adventure
I can't say it's rubbish (I've played LoH 1) but the battles are dull for sure. The music is pretty repetitive and the story is...Ok. But that's about it. I would give it a 6/10. Most gaming sites give it a 6 or 6.5
damn, girl, how you get all of that? in dem jeans dem jeans how you get all of that, in dem.
One of the few series on the PSP that had a cool storyline. The companies behind them aren't very bright business wise.. the rest of the series would've sold well.
