The story in the game is a mixed bag, featuring a multi-generational narrative that explores themes of fate and relationships, but often suffers from convoluted plotlines and pacing issues. While some players appreciate the depth and character development, many find the storytelling confusing and tedious, with a reliance on clichés and a lack of clear direction that can detract from the overall experience. Despite its flaws, the game offers moments of intrigue and a rich world, appealing to fans of JRPGs who prioritize story, though it may require a guide to navigate effectively.
“The storyline follows the epic journey of a hero who must navigate a dangerous and ever-changing world while simultaneously building and maintaining relationships with a diverse cast of allies.”
“Its deep and engaging storyline, rich character development, and thrilling gameplay mechanics combine to create an unforgettable gaming experience that is sure to keep players hooked for hours on end.”
“If you're able to immerse yourself in a game's plot or story, you'll enjoy Agarest 2 or any Agarest game.”
“Good game but... it's so confusing; not the fighting or anything, I got that down. The thing that confuses me is the story. I can't progress; I made it to some town, did commissions, and then got a dialog and continued the story. Then they all just disappeared and I've done like 20 more commissions yet still nothing, so I have no clue where I have to go to trigger the next part of the story.”
“The characters feel so disconnected from the gameplay; I lost interest in the story within minutes of starting.”
“I understand that cliches are interesting at some points, but basing the entire story around tons of cliche plot twists that everyone who's ever played RPG games expects, along with generic characters that look like they're from a high school anime, makes the game extremely dislikable.”
