Go get this game... NOW!

Anyone here played the first series of it? Now the sequel is super beefed up, improved graphics and gameplay systems

I highly recommend this game to those peeps seeking challenging RPG (You might as well want to finish the first series first, as you will get extra with the completed save game when you continue on the sequel)

I've been playing this since Koudelka (which is placed before SH1), and I'm counting the days till it gets released here.
Definately the game I've anticipated most since it got anounced

Improved graphics? I saw the screenshots and it looked like blah city to me. Most notably, the backgrounds.

There ya go Leg
It does look alot better than the previous one, especially the battle choreography is more fluent. I don't think anything can beat Alice's booksmacking though XD
The FMV's look very nice, and Yuri doesn't look icky anymore

I always thought Yuri looked cute

But yeah, I'm really looking forward to this. The first Shadow Hearts was really overlooked, hopefully this one will get some decent exposure.

You should try to get Koudelka, just so you understand the story entirely
He looked weird in the FMV.

The game shouldn't take you more than 20 hours (max). It's awfully short, but the atmosphere keeps it going.
I love gothstyled games

A few familiar faces appear in SH2, such as Roger Bacon, Albert Simon, Amon(one of the FMs) and the Golden Bat(appear in Keith's sidequest in SH1)

Damn, the first disc is real long, I'm trying to advance as fast as possible so I could get to see the brand new Seraphic Radiance

I meant amongst the FM, dear.
I know Bacon's back
I just wish Alice was still in the game too
Do any of the playable characters appear as a cameo, kinda like Koudelka had a part in SH1?

The 6 basic FMs in SH2 were totally DIFFERENT from the FMs in SH1

The only remains are Amon and Seraphic Radiance, but both FMs appear in new design

There is one more new added FM, Neo Amon, which appears as an OPTIONAL FM

EDIT : As for the cameo, I'm not sure yet, since I haven't come across any of them... Looking at some FAQ it seems that Margaret appear in SH2 as well

It's nice that they aren't the same, and it's even nicer they actually let you know why Yuri has to restart leveling (curse)
I wish it got released here already

Yup, the new FMs are very cool, they got 3 stages, Grade 2, Grade 3 and Grade MAX

I personally love the Fire FM very much, since at GRADE MAX, it appears like an Ancient War Cyborg XD Even Amon is not as cool as it (its name is Fides at Grade MAX)

Its weird to know that Albert Simon lives in Yuri's memory though

As for now, I had defeated one of the King of Darkness, Asmodeus , and now heading towards to defeat the other one. Astaroth (the 3 King of Darkness are Amon, Asmodeus and Astaroth) Not far away till I'm completing Disc 1

Are there any playable characters you don't like using? And who do you use?
I really dig the kid with the katana, and Anastacia looks very cute (probably magic user).
The guy with the butterfly mask creeps me out though.

hmm, don't feel like using Geppeto(puppeter), Blanca(Wolf) and Lucia(fortuneteller)..

Geppeto - His skills are useless; doing one hit and does not hit hard

Blanca - Do a few more hits than Geppeto, but still, no match with Joachim(masked guy) XD

Lucia - Aside from looking secksay(big boobs XD), her Aroma and Tarot card skills are pretty useless

My main party is consist of Yuri, Karin(the female hero ), Anastasia(Princess) and Joachim. With this party, I can chalk up 50 hits combo easily oh, btw, everyone can use magic in here by equipping Magic Crest except Yuri and the katana guy(both of them use FM)

Karin - Sword Arts; moderate damage, but lots of hits

Anastasia - Kinda like a BlueMage, use skills from enemies/monsters

Joachim - Mustle Arts(Wrestling) XD

As for Kurando(the katana guy), I just got him, and he is pretty empty(not much skills), however, his FM looks nice and got pretty nasty Spells if the FM if leveled up

I really dig some of the character designs.
And Karin's boobs seem a lot bigger to me than Lucia's

Magic Crest? What's that?

Nah, when you got the game you will know Lucia's boobs could be used to feed cows

Some sort of equipments that have different spells in each crest, and by equipping the corresponding crest, you can use the spells within the crest Sorta like Materia in FFVII

Now my party changed to Yuri, Karin, Anastasia and Kurando Major kickass when the 2 FMs chained up combos together XD

*can't wait to get Neo-Amon and Seraphic Radience*

Need me to leak out more info on the gameplay of this game?

Ofcourse I want to hear more
After reading through pro's and cons of characters, that's very likely to be my party too, whenever I get to the part they're all available and I actually have it XD

Yuri because he's probably the best character again, Kurando because he's the samurai guy (and he has FM too ), Karin because she seems to be overal good, and Anastasia because she's cutest and a decent magic back up. That, and Gepetto weirds me out. Add Joachim to that too
There's absolutely no way I'll use Lucia, because she's too random for her own good.
