Jeanne d'Arc

« Folks who traded in their PSPs for lack of awesome games should be feeling substantial remorse right about now. »

« Jeanne D'Arc manages to deliver on all fronts, from the presentation to the fast paced and streamlined open-ended battles and skill binding mechanics. Everything in this game is polished, pretty, highly functional and fun. At the end of the day it's hard for me to complain about anything in this game. »

« Immediately becomes the best reason to own a PSP in ages. MUST… HAVE! »

« Jeanne d'Arc does nearly everything perfectly, and I know I keep harping on this, but it's just a stellar first effort for Level-5. If your PSP has been collecting dust since, say, Crush, break out the dust mop and grab this game. »

« Jeanne d’Arc is the best tactical RPG that I have played in a long time. The amount of skill customization and various character types with their own weapon types and skills is amazing as is the sheer level of detail in ever facet of the presentation. »

« Jeanne D'Arc is one of the best games to be released on Sony's portable system to date. »

« I was thoroughly enraptured by Jeanne D'Arc. It's a sweeping epic that has both the mechanics and visuals to make it a must-play title. »

« By all means for you SRPG fans out there pick this game up! I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed! I myself have still yet to clear this game and it seems that there will be more than enough volume left to satisfy the casual to the hardcore gamers. This is one game that is worth its weight in gold. [JPN Import] »

« It took me a while to get into it because of the tone and because perhaps I had overly high expectations for what it ultimately turned out to be, but oh well, it's a decent SRPG, quite well done and accessible even though on many occasions you'll fail 95% of the time and get hit with 5%. »

« Definitely better than I expected! Really enjoyed the story, only downside was potentially the grinding necessary to tackle some of the later stages and lack of diversity when it came to ability types. »

« Excelente história,uma ótima pedida pra quem gosta de RPG's táticos. Personagens carismáticos, gameplay fluída e belos gráficos. Em alguns momentos fica nítida a referência a senhor dos anéis e final fantasy. Minha única crítica fica no roteiro que apesar de ser muito bom as vezes acaba ficando muito repetitivo. Você enfrenta o mesmo Boss as vezes em três ou até quatro cenários. O que acaba ficando repetitivo. E a trilha sonora do game, que também num contexto geral acaba sendo boa. Mas repetitiva e pobre. Mas num contexto geral, mesmo com os problemas,acaba se tornando um game indispensável pra quem gosta do gênero. »

« It'sa crime that this game hasn't been remastered for another platform or gotten the sequel treatment. »

« Jeanne d'Arc is a fantastic tactical RPG that blends French history, and fantasy together. And a game people have been asking for a reappearance, be it on PS Plus, or as a remake, and it's hard to disagree with them. The tactical depth in this game puts it on par with titans of the genre, like FF Tactics and Fire Emblem. There is an excellent attention to detail with the English voice acting, where the French characters have good French accents (despite being voiced by American actors), and the English characters having solid English accents. And it uses excellent quality animated cutscenes. While not wholly original in terms of gameplay, it manages to elevate familiar mechanics to new heights. A must buy for strategy game lovers. »

« Pros: You can mix different abilities for the characters, making some very unlikely combinations. The mechanic of Transform is pretty cool and turn some characters into a killing machine. Use of Cartoons for the story telling is amazing. Combining Skills system is very fun and makes you want to discover all recipes. Cons: Every match have a turn limit. 20 for standard matches and could get to 40 for some story matches. There is no class assignmnet like FFT or Tactics Ogre. The world stages have predefined levels but there is no way to check what is the level match before entering it. Details: It's a fun and innovative game, but things like limiting the turns on all matches deeply hinders the fun, and it's even worse on end game. In some matches you can be under level and even if you manage through strategy to keep alive, you will not have enough time to kill everyone and you lose the match. Some of the story of the game is told through Cartoons instead of using ingame animation. This idea was great and the Cartoons are very well made and help to give more life to every character. Regarding Stages, if you join a match and you are under 10 levels, you will need to reload. Winning would be very very hard because not only you are underlevel, but you will only have 20 turns to finish. So even if you have strategy to keep alive and hitting the enemy slowly, you will eventually run out of time. »

« Story of this game is absolutely the best part of it. At first the game is really nothing special and it's kinda boring. But suddenly everything is starting to get very interesting and to be honest I didn't expect that at all. For me it was little bit to long and I highly recommend using cheats to speed up the grind for a little. Gameplay isn't really something extraordinary... It's very simple and we've all seen it thousands times before... But the story is really worth everything! Characters are interesting and unique and the plot is just amazing... A lot of memorable moments... Story telling at its finest! Only if gameplay would be just a little bit more unique and if it could have full voice acting Jeanne D'arc could be really 10/10 game! »

« This is the best JRPG for the system. Much better than any other game. Of course, is a tactical JRPG, but you need to give it a try. »
