Now, the forces of darkness are awakening once again…

• Build your ultimate army of warriors and master Extra Skills, Special Arts and Over Kills to defeat colossal enemies!
• Unite with your chosen heroine and use the “Soul Breed” system to shape the fate of the next generation of heroes
Agarest: Generations of War includes many unique features that cannot be found in any other Strategy Role Playing Game. Here's a summary of some of the best:
Extended Area
Extended Area is the "Linked Area" set for both your party and your enemies. Each character in the game has a uniquely shaped extended area. When a character's turn comes around, all other characters in the Extended Area of the character in play (and characters in the extended areas of those characters!) can combine in an extended attack. This allows you to chain your party's attacks together, allowing access to more Arts and huge Combos!
Blacksmith's Guild
You can upgrade various Items and Equipment at the Blacksmith's Guild in two different ways:
By Enhancement: You can enhance equipment to a maximum of Level 5. Once an Item is enhanced to Level 5, you can convert the Item, changing it into something else. This process is irreversible and the original item is lost. Experimentation reveals some great new items!
Through Alchemy: Alchemy allows you to combine several items to create a single, more powerful piece of equipment. While you lose the items used in the alchemy, you gain a powerful new piece of equipment and permanent access to your new item in the Shop! Alchemy can create powerful new weapons and armour but occasionally a Smithing Accident will occur and the smith will create a different item than what you expected!
The "Soul Breed" system
Agarest takes place across 5 generations of heroes, starting with your first character, Leonhardt. During each generation you will build relationships with 3 different female party members, and at the end of each generation's story arc you must choose to marry one of the girls.
Your choice of marriage partner is restricted to girls who've grown fond of you over a particular generation. Your options are determined by your choices during conversations at certain points of the story.
The girl you choose as your wife - and the strength of their relationship with you - will determine the abilities of the main character in the next generation of the story. You'll have to experience multiple play throughs to see all of the character possibilities open to you! What heroes might you create?

I'd hope with over 100 hours in this game I'd have a reasonable and informed opinion on the game. Unfortunately it was only enough to get upto the start of generation 3 before I stopped. That opinion is to avoid this game. I'd heard that in order to get the true or best end of the game I'd need to finish it on hard difficulty within a certain number of turns. That part seemed ok as I played. You can fight and level your characters outside of mandatory battles without increasing the turns. However I quickly ran into another problem. The battles are a GRIND. In theory they sound good, you position your characters to use their skills together to create stronger skills. However every battle once you get 10+ hours in takes a lot longer than you'd like. Indivdual enemies become damage sponges which you'll spend the whole turn just to KO (let alone overkill). When you're facing 4-5 of those enemies plus a boss or 2 you're going to be there a while. Given that battles are slow and time consuming, this also means grinding enemies for items or XP is extremely tedious. Your individual team members only gain XP if they are in your active party. This is more a personal gripe for …7 found this helpful
Had this game for years, tried starting it up half a dozen times and it just never stuck. You pretty much need to be glued to a guide to get a lot of mechanics the game doesn't explain, and to complete the game. It's grindy and combat is just crunchy compared to other turn based JRPGs. Go get the screenshots and skip the gameplay if that's what you're after.2 found this helpful
Play FF Tactics, Disgaea, etc, instead. This game really brought nothing new to the table outside of a gimmicky generational system. The intro is bland, the music is bland, the characters are bland, the world building is bland - there is nothing to hook, story wise, within the first few hours of game play. Obnoxious tutorial windows out the wazoo. I have no reason to care about anything I'm doing in this game.1 found this helpful
Its toooooo grindy and very inefficient to play and grind. Grinding process is also boring. A lot of content though.1 found this helpful
I have played Spectral Souls 2 and Blazing Souls Accelerate on PSP long ago, so I have to try this game so far it's a great. But in my 4 or 5 hours of gameplay the combat is not that really good compare to the previous 2 game I had mentioned. The Link Skill/Chain Attack is quite difficult and the move phase and attack phase kind of make things more complicated. If my Healer is at the back and I linked her with a physical attack she will move closer to enemy which makes her very vulnerable. Of course you should not do that to your healer, but as of right now in early game I had no other party member and skills to make use of the link skill. This might be actually good for some people who likes in-depth strategic combat, But I prefer Blazing Soul and Spectral Souls Chain attack where you can easily link your attacks with other party members, there is no "Field" thingy too for linking the attacks. The controls for Keyboard is quite different when you move your cursor for selecting tile. If I press down, it technically go down/south tile, if it isn't Isometric and you are viewing it from the back of the characters. However it is Isometric, the right feel to it if my Camera is looking …1 found this helpful
