I really would of liked to give this game a better review, i had high hopes in parts of this game that it would turn out to be somthing more... but no, just more of the same. Dont get me wrong, Im a huge RPG fan, new and old, still on meds for my FF withdrawl while i wait till the new one comes out. The story starts out great, hero searches for his long lost sister that was kidnapped many years before, joins an adventure guild to set out on his broad search, meets friends, and thats where it gets stale, you join a guild (ARC THE LAD), but you dont go on any quests for it...the world is small, and the misssions are repetitive at best. You spend the whole game traceing and retracing the same paths over and over and over...it gets very boring. The pet system is non- exsistent, dont even know what the point of it was, and the game plays out way too easy. If your looking to waste some time or your on a boring road trip, then this will pass the time.. but thats about it. buy it if its cheap but dont expect too much from it.

Good Buy!

If they can get past the grammatical errors, rpg fans will probably enjoy this game.

Pros: Decent story, interesting characters, and the graphics and music aren't bad, either. Battles are challenging.

Cons: As stated above, there are grammatical errors throughout the game. Long introductory scene (could be a plus if you enjoy such scenes).

This game starts off a little slowly, but really picks up in the second half. It's definitely worth a try if you're into fantasy rpg's.

Great old-school style RPG

I loved this game. It's got the old-school type graphics and totally lovable characters. It's actually a really long game, too, which is always a plus (and not always characteristic of PSP games). I can't wait to play the two sequels!

Pretty freaking awesome...

I have played many RPG's in the past, and several for the PSP and this game is by far the best I have seen. Some people have said that this is a "slow" japanese style RPG, but that is hardly a bad quality. The story is imersive and the graphics are very decent for the PSP. This game is just put together well, the menu system is easy and intuitive, so is the battle system. I LOVE the deadly attacks! If you are looking for a good, deep, long lasting RPG get this game, and the sequal comes out next week! So you can continue the adventure with that one.

BUY THIS GAME ITS GREAT

A nice, traditional-style RPG

While The Legend of Heroes doesn't make any truly groundbreaking new innovations in the RPG genre, it is nonetheless a very enjoyable game. Considering the PSP's limited game library and the fact that only a few RPG's exist for it, The Legend of Heroes is one of the only options if you're in the market for an RPG.

The game contains a simple, yet fun battle system that's reminiscent of the Arc the Lad series or Lunar in the sense that the player's characters move about the battle screen rather than staying in one location for the duration of the battle.

Sound-wise, the game excels. With an excellent original soundtrack and sound effects, the game is simply outstanding in this sense.

The storyline is fairly good and will keep most players interested throughout the game. Although it's nothing we haven't seen a dozen times before, (unsuspecting boy from small country village leaves home and goes on epic adventure and meets an odd cast of characters along the way) it'll keep your attention for awhile.

Visually, the game is also impressive. The environments are incredibly detailed and quite beautiful. Some nice lighting effects add to the realism of the game as well. The characters themselves are done very well too. Large, detailed, very sharp character sprites are used and they look quite fantastic, especially against the game's amazing environments.

My only major problem with this game, however, is that it seems to have been released a bit prematurely. As a number of other reviewers have said before me, there are various small errors that were overlooked and could have been easily fixed if just a bit more time were spent looking through the game to find them. The game is plagued by bad grammar and missing words, and occasionally in situations where the player is given a choice of what to say in a conversation, (e.g. yes/no option) the player will be given the choices before the question is even asked.

Finally, I completely agree with the reviewer before me who pointed out that the rest of the series really ought to have been released in English. The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion is actually the fourth game in the Legend of Heroes series and the second in the Gagharv Trilogy, so it would be great if we could see an English release of the rest of the series (unfortunately, I doubt it'll happen). Aside from these issues, however, the game really is quite well-made.

One of the BEST so far!

I absolutely love this game! I recommend and encourage everyone to buy it! If you are into the type of RPGs with a lot of stories and dialogues, then this is it! This is why I bought the game. I love to get to know the characters and I love to know about what's going on with everything. Also, I love classic RPGs such as Final Fantasy series for SNES and Chrono Trigger, so this is a similar feel to them. If you don't like too much talking, then you're gonna have to move on to another game. I give this 5 full stars!
