Battle Fantasia (360) Entry Questions:
1. Do get excited at the prospect of the announcement of any new fighting game or do you only care about your favorite fighting game series?
-Really I get more excited over new games added to the fighting genre than current sequels coming out in an already established line of games. The reason being I want to get into fighting games so badly (enough to purchase a Soul Caliber III here or a Tekken IV there) only to lose interest after a quick play through and find myself wondering why I can't get into it. I keep praying for the next fighting game (The Current King in my domain remains to be Super Smash Bros. Melee), to overtake my interests for more than just a few days and leave me with a feeling of enjoyment and knowing I made a good purchase.
2. How do you feel about the character design and style of Battle Fantasia?
When I first browsed a few screen shots of Battle Fantasia I thought the genre categorization was wrong. It looks well I beautifully crafted RPG, and honestly I think that might be what gets it going as a great fighting game. Honestly I find that fighting games lose their appeal the fastest in the visual department. After hours of play and watching the same styled artwork duking it out in the same style we've come to know...it gets boring for me. I know I'll at least be trying this game out simply because it looks unique, and in this age of video games, unique is a hard trait to come by.
3. Do you prefer 2D or 3D fighters and why?
I really don't have a preference as I try to come in with an open mind to the game and not judge based on dimensions of the fighting style. Instead I would rather reflect on how such a viewpoint was carried out, and how it fit with the overall feel of the game's mechanics and graphics. So, for me each game would have it's own preference. Some I may wish had been 3D, and others I'm happy they picked what they did.
